HUSBANDS OF ALL VARIETIES
Something About the American and
Imported Product.

Husbands are the natural product OF
most civilized countries. They are
plentiful in most of the United States
of America.
Although the best husbands in this
country are acknowledged by experts
to be indigenous to the soil, those
commanding the highest market prices
are the imported varieties, because
OF their expensive labels. The Crown
brand brings the largest figure.
The husband is wary and elusive
animal, fleeing for safety at the first
noise like a skirt to his lair in clubs,
offces and other remote caves of his
habitat; but he may be cajoled forth
by an appearance of indifference on

PRoPITIATE THE GODS in INDIA.
Religious Rites Required Throughout
the Entire Season.

Agricultural practice in southern
India from start 70 finish requires re-
ligious rites, says the Madras Mail.
In the Tamil districts the agri-
cultural year commences about April.
/ On April % the cul,ivators OF a viii
lage consult a "valluvan,", who fixes
for them the kind OF wood that they
should cut and take away. He is sup
posed to settle the question as the
result OF astrological observations
made on the commencement OF the
Tamil Now Years day. which falls
about April 10. Each cultivator then
takes little camphor, some incense,
a few plantains and a cocoanut, and
with others assembled for the purpose
he proceeds to the forests, where he
worships the tree he is about to cut,
Offering the plantains and the cocoa
nut. Then he lops of the first branch,
taking good care that 1t falls on the
right side. In each year the side is
different. Prosperity to himself and
his cattle is firmly believed to depend
very much upon this. He then cuts
away the required quantity of wood
and takes 1t home.
Another day is then selected, soon
after the early rains of the same
month, by the "vulluvan," and then
the greatest event OF the agricultural
year occurs. Each ryot takes the
wood he has selected for the plow,
which is newly fitted up and taken to
the field, where the bullocks are tied
to 1T, and behind it stand other plows
with teams of oxen tied to them,
while large crowds assemble around
the teams.
The principal plowman then daubs
the pair of oxen tied to the new plow
with aniline powder and turmeric
paste; he lights camphor and burns
incense before it, breaks q cocoanut,
and with II he makes an Offering Of
a pot OF jaggery water and parched
grain and Bengal gram, Then he
drives the pillow across the field, pre-.
ceded by the other plowmen, and after
few rounds the oxen arc unyoked
and the offering distributed to those
