As the East Indian Sees It. A native of India who lost a large | amount of money through the in- | solvency of an English merchant ex: | plained the English insolvency laws as follows: "In" Burma the white man who wants to become Insolvent goes into business and gets lots of goods and does not pay for them. He then gets all the money he can together-- say, 80,000 rupees (a rupee is 83 cents) --and puts all of It except 100 rupees away where no one can find it. With the 100 rupees he goes to a judge of the court and tells him he wants to be- come bankrupt. The judge then calls all the lawyers tdgether, likewise all the men to whom the white man owes money, and says, 'This man is insolv- ent, but he wishes to give you all that he has got, so he has me to dl- vide this 100. rupees dmong you all' * The judge thereupon gives the lawyers 90 rupees and the remaining 10 rupees to the other men. Then the Insolvent Writing With Milk. In the course of a trial In France a i letter was read from a man named { Turpin, a chemist, under sentence of | five years' imprisonment as a spy, giv- | ing directions to a friend, with a view {-to establishing a secret correspondence | with him while in prison. This led to | an officiat foquiry on the subject by the French authorities, and some strange revelations were obtained | from some of the convicts. | It appears that when Information has to be eonveyed to a prisoner a containing apparently personal nature, is forwarded to the A Clever Ruse. When Thurlow was lord chancellor of England he was much at outs with" the bishop of London. The latter was visited one day by a clergyman who sought appointment to a fat living then vacant. He wanted a letter of recom- mendation to Lord Thurlow, but the bishop said such a letter was likely to do more harim than good. Nevertheless be wrote it. When Thurlow read the missive he said, "Well, as that scoun- drel, the bishop of London, has intro- duced you, you won't get the living." "So the bishop sald, my lord," was the meek reply. "Did the bishop say so!" roared Thurlow. "Then I'll prove him a Har, for you shall bave the lying." And he was as good as his word. at the box peat with me." bitte | PE I Te map ment." This custom has come down from antiquity and is known as "krea" (rending the garment). The cutting of "krea" Is ted with such sol and religious obligations that many a stern Hebrew father, as a punishment for a son or daughter who marries out of the faith, will rend his garment as a token of the death of such a child. The act is emblematic of the profound- est grief, but also has its comforting influence, for It accepts with the fesig- nation of the typical religious Jew the will of the Almighty. " A Story With a Moral. A prominent New York banker was dilating on the dangers of deceit. By way of illustration, he told of a so- clety woman who saw In a jeweler's window a collar of pearls that she wanted. She inquired the price and was told $0,000. She gave her check for $3,000, saying she would send her husband to see the pearls, but the jeweler was to tell him they cost only $3,000. The storekeeper was familiar with that sort of game and agreed. The husband came to see the pearls, and that evening told his wife he had bought them. His wife delightedly asked if he had brought home the col- lar, whereupon he replied: "No, dear; I had it sent to my mother. . You know, it is her birthday tomorrow." A Famous Beauty. Mme. de Remusat had features sc perfect that her contemporaries said she was worthy to sit as a model for a Greek goddess. The flesh of her face closely resembled alabaster, and yet she was not pale and did not give the impression of being In delicate health, Her beauty attracted univer saMnttention to her, no matter where she went, and even in old age she re tained most of her good looks.

Through the crowded streets the pace favas necessarily slow, and the girl turn- ed to Graul. "Do you let them out when you hit the highroad?" she de manded eagerly.

The Firet Wills, Wills were at first oral, as were also gifts of land, and were only morally binding on the survivors. Origen and other fathers of the early church cred- ited Noah with having made a will, and In the fourth century the bishop of Brescia declared all*those heretical who denied Noah's division of the world to his three sons by will. The oldest known wills are those of Egypt. Both oral and written wills not infre- quently contained Imprecations on those who should neglect them. The earliest written will In existence is that of Sennacherib, which was found In the royal library of Konyunjlk. There Is a great sameness about our own royal wills, They mainly relate to beds, bedding, clothes, personal or- naments, gold and silver cups and pay- ments for masses, and are generally as prosaic as one could contrive. Tar and Feathers. "The Greek was the first to apply tar and feathers to the body of an offend- er," said a doctor.
