Queer Marital Relations.

Curious marriage customs prevail
among the people dwelling in the Tan
gi Val ~ in India. Here 1t seems that
the women are rolygamous, and that
several brothers possess one wife in
common The custom is said to be
due to the poverty of the people. The
children bear the names of all the
husbands of the mother. How such a
custom as to names works out in
practice it is difficult to comprehend.
The divorce customs are very simple.
If the husband establishes that his
wife is a bad cook it is a sufficient
ground; and on the wife's side, if she
can show that her husband fails to
provide for the upkeep of the house
she obtains relief.

WHAT WOMAN LIKES IN MAN
Pleasing Manners. Difference, cour-
tesy and = Vigorous, Healthy and
WeII-Groomed Appearance.

A woman likes pleasing manners in
. man. She likes Difference and coar-
tesy and attentiveness in small
OF an appeal to ter than sterling
worth. That's the reason foreigners
make such headway with American
women. They never forget to be defer
entail and courteous, to say the little
things and to do the little things that
warm the cookies OF the, feminine
heart. This may be all wrorg Per-
haps she ought to appreciate the char
aeter more than the veneer. But she
doesn't. The average woman isn't
Practical She's romantic. she lines
roses and bonbons. Many men give
her cabbage and beefsteak. Cabbage
ana beeist@ah are al right, but as
steady diet they are tiresome. She'll
tahe less cab5-ge and beelsteak il
thereby size may have some roses and
Ion bons.
A woman likes a man TO look
healthy and TO be well groomed. Sae
likes vigorous bot y. hea.tAy sAin
and a look that betokens a daily
merely because she likes beauty,
though she does. but because these
things betoken good habits.
A woman. if size is wife or
sweetheart. likes expressions of love.
Sc gets tired of taxing a mans love
for granted. Ii grows Iaint and lar
away. and life is cold and common
place. WI en- he does not tel her in
actual words lie loves her. and show
her by actual caresses, how much. To
some men, this seems all ioolishness.
They think that paying bills is the
best proof of their love. But again.
most women are not practical. and
bill are uninteresting things, not half
go enjoyable or warm and vital as a
kiss or a caress.

"THIRSTY CANE" TIE LATEST
Invention of Clever Fre7chman That

Drinking for Him.

A French inventor has hit upon
peculiar device for combating the
drink evil This is the thirsty cane
Why do men drink? Because other
men insist on standing them drinks,
Many big business deal is done over
a glass, nowhere more so than IN
French cafes, and drummers would
lose half their custom if they refused

whom they must OF course stand an
other in return. The cane makes
them temperate by drinking for them.

BOARDING MONEY
Demands-Crop Moving, Far Away, Responsible.

Washington, April 27.-Bank reports from all sections of the country indi- cate an enormous piling up of cash. Reserve and central reserve cities es- pecially report large holdings.
 Two conclusions are drawn from this condition by treasury officials. One is that a slackening condition of business, ascribed to many different causes is naturally driving the money into the banks. The other is that the banks are beginning early to prepare themselves for late summer and au- tumnal demands of the interior.
 A conservative loan policy Is report ed prevailing in all sections. in view of the fact that the federal treasury gives no promise of aid i'll the way of public deposits during the crop moving season. Treasury officials pre- dict the next call on the national banks will show a continued close hauled policy on commitments and responding gains in cash.

Why the Pretzel Twists.

The pretzel is capable of infinite possibilities in the matter of shape. If shows almost as many forms as do the leaves of trees. The construction of the pretzel may not be inaptly de- scribed in sailor terms. Its peculiar shane Is attained in this way: A night is taken in roll of dough and the ends are given a half twist and brought back upon the opposite sides of the blight. This process gives to the pretzel heart-shaped appear ance. but no one ever ventured to hint that any sentimental reason ex- isted for assigning this shape to such a prosaic thing as a pretzel. When the pretzel has been duly var nished," 1t is subjected to process of salting, and the thing is complete.
