An East Indian Prince Who Did Not Fear Losing Caste. ~ - ? * rv ^.11 Mr. coniugsoy uawsou, iue wen known English writer, tells the following anecdote of the East ludian prince Sir Pertab Singh: V A young English lieutenant had died ' of cholera in his palace. The boy was the son of an English friend. When the body had to be carried out to be placed on a gun carriage Sir i'ertab Singh went forward to lift it up. Before he touched it tie was stopped r>y some English officers. They reminded him that, hv his relisrion. were he to touch the dead he would lose all bis caste and perhaps, despite his wealth, never he able to buy it back. Tbej advised him to send tor tfce sweepers, who are outcasts. In spite of their protests he picked up the body and carried it down the palace steps to the gun carriage. A gasp went up at the sight. Every one of his subjects knew what he had done. The next morning, when be rose, 500 Brahman priests were waiting in the courtyard. He came out, a proud figure, to face them. He knew what they had come for?to make him the lowest thing in India, a man with out caste. He asked tbem what was their errand, and they told him. They had come to make him of as little account as the humblest sweeper in his palace* | A GOOD WORD FOR THE CROW. " Despite the Damage He Does He l? a Good Scavenger.

Whenever possible barbed wire entanglements are hidden in long grass or in hedges, so that advancing troops will be trapped while the enemy rakes their lines with shot and shell.
