Observation-Disclosures QUEER RACE OF PEOPLE
AGAIN COMING FROM ABROAD
INTO BANKS OF NEW YORK.
Return, However, GtE1set by Demands
From the Interior. Money For
Crops Is Needed i'm South,

tEODS Is NeeUeG HI SOubIl'
NEW YORK.-An interesting de-
velopment in the financial situation
today was the evidence that much
money taken from New York banks
during the early alarm endangered
by the foreign crisis is flowing back.
This return flow largely is offset by
increasing demands of interior
banks. The West is calling for crop
moving money and the South is de-
handing cash to harvest cotton.
Cotton planters recently received
material assistance from local insti-
tutions, but this, it now appears, was
sufficient only to meet a small part
of their needs.
Exchange brokers reported some
business from Berlin today. Drafts
were issued direct to that center and
by way Of Holland and Italy in the
hope Of reaching the German capital,
Rates on London were higher than
Yesterday. with a smaller volume of
business.
General trade advices again were
conflicting, more steel mills following
the lead Of the larger independents
in advancing prices, while others en-
gagged in special lines are working on
shorter time and curtailing expenses.

DISCOVERY OF THE PANGGANGS,
A WILD TRIBE IN MALAY.
Wander in Dense Jungles and Are
Ruled BY Female, Whose Prime
Minister Is Il Monkey.

RANGOON.-The Malayan cores
pendent of a RangOOn newspaper has
discovered the Panggang. This is
not a variety of tea, brand Of rice
or the last word in firecrackers, as
the average reader could not be
blamed for thinking. 1t is race Of
human beings descended (who
knowsD from one of the lost ten
tribes of Isreal, or the legednary no.
MAIDS who emigrated from Central
Asia before the era of Greek civili-
zation
The Panggang have many eccen-
trio customs. They wander through
the dense jungles of the northern
part Of the Malay Peninsula, never
stopping long enough in one place to
need a police department or g board
of aldermen. They sleep where night
finds them, with the root of tree as
pillow and a single huge palm leaf
as a bed quilt. They neither fight
nor steal. and have no use for mon
ey. If by chance they get hold Of
English or Siamese coins they bury
them in order that their spirits may
have the wherewithal for trading
after death.
Their vices are few. They GO not
chew gum, but are slaves to tobacco
and SALT the last named takes the
place of candy with this beni5hted
race. They will remain for days
without food, as long as they have a
large supply Of tobacco and salt. In
the meat line they will eat monkey,
snake, elephant or tiger, but are par
ticularly partial to wild pig.
The Panggang marriage rites have
been reduced to first principles. The
prospective bride is given start OF
one lap around big ant hill, and the
bridegroom does his best to catch
her. He usually succeeds, but if he
is absolutely hopeless as a Splinter
and collapes before she does the mar
riage is declared off amid the jeers
of the spectators. These people do
not appear to have any religion, but
have a vague theory regarding the
transmigration of souls. An eXcep-
tionally worthy Panggang is promot-
ed after death to be a tiger.
But the Malay Journalist touches
high water mark in his account Of a
mysterious female named Toh Me-
dang. who is honored as a sort OF
queen and whose prime minister is a
tame Wa-Wa, a local species OF
orangoutang. Toh Medang is reput-
ed to be a great enchantress. She
lives alone in a bamboo hut, but
shaded by the leaves of the sacred
ubang tree. Special food is brought
TO her every day by the oldest man
or woman of the neighborhood, ac-
companied by the latest born infant
\ The Panggangs believe that she could
bring awful calamities upon them if
/ they incurred her displeasure. With
this reputation to live up to she is
careful to never leave her hut, but
sends the tame WG-Wa TO funerals
/ IS her proxy.

OUR CANADIAN COUSINS.

The United States and Canada are
more closely related commercially than
socially The annual business trans
actions indicate a social relation which
does not exist except in a minor pro-
portion.
IL is a remarkable association Of
facts that Canada is now a billion dol
lar country with respect to its exports
and imports and that in these trans
actions the United States figures larger
than any other nation.
The department Of commerce con-
veys the information that in the cal
endar year 1913 Canada's imports Of
merchandise were $3.50, 100000 and
her exports $436.O00. 900 American
goods represented sixty-five per cent
Of the entire imports of Canada while
the markets Of the United States alb
sorbed trihty-nine and a half per cent
OF the Canadian products sold in for
eign countries.
This large balance OF trade shows
favor for two things; the popularity
OF American goods in Canada and
The good will OF the Canadian people
toward the United States. 1t might
also be found upon investigation that
Americans are using all the Canadian
goods they can Another detail of this
commercial intimacy is the large in
vasion OF Canadian territory by Ameri-
can industries. Visitors to Canadian
cities will see many familiar American
names on factory buildings.
Commercial barriers have thus been
broken down and overleaped, but the
social barriers have not yielded so
readily. Though both are speaking the
same language there are radical tenn
peramental differences, not 10 say
prejudices which have kept the inter-
national cousins farther apart than
they should be. We may hope. how
ever. that gradually the distance will
decrease and that eventually each will
understand the cher better.
When occasion offers Canadian and
American people mingle freely and
congenially, but occasions do not offer
frequently enough for the good Of
both. While along the borders there
is much intimacy other social inter
course is altogether too rare.
