Making Debtors Pay Lip.
They have a very ingenious way
with debtors in Ceylon.
The creditor, it would seem, goes
to the man who owes aim money, hold-

tremely poisonous plant, and declares
that if lie is net paid immediately he
will poison himself. The debtor pays
up at once.
In other bands he would very likely
laugh at his &editor, but in Ceylon
tsere is a law which imposes. an erior-

cause of another's suicide.
Cansequently it seldom happens that

Backward Children Respond to
Rhythm.
• What can be accomplished with
music as is meanie of introdueing a
ehild into nermarlife, the child who
because of ba.elewardnese is too often
given the cold shoulder aod. totd that
he cannot do this thing and that 'be-
cause of his handicap, is exemplified in
the walk which Miss Mary C. Greene,
supervisor of music in special schools,
is now conducting, says the Providence
Journal.

they are taught to listenand to con-

musical co-ordination, ancl, laatles, they
are taught to work with is group which
is the real social aspect of the music
work.
"Our children in the special aceaools,"
said Miss Greene, "because of their
backwardness, are toe often left oat
