THE BEAR'S BAD BARGAIN

_Khichrî_.--A dish of rice and pulse (_dâl_).

_The weights the bear carries._--These are palpable

exaggerations; thus in India the regulation camel-load is under 3

cwts., but they will carry up to 5 cwts. A strong hill-man in the

Himâlayas will carry 1/2 cwt., and on occasion almost a whole cwt. up

the hill.
