HINDU ETIQUETTE.
Husband and Wife Never Mention
Each Other 10 Friends.

Husband and Wife Never Mentler
Each Other 70 Friends
You can never tell what is man
ners and what isn't in India. When
woman wants to be very polite to
man she turns her back on him.
II fatters any Hindu man to have
! pretty woman plainly and ostenta-
tionsly turn her back on him.
Between husband and wife there
is a queer system Of etiquette.
Whatever happens, q Hindu wife
must never mention her husband BY
name. When che goes TO Gallon her
neighbor lightly chatting the after
noon through, comparing notes on
the latest nose rings and the best
way to stain the fingers with the
fashionable henna, she must never
let the conversation swing around
so that she will have to mention her
husband. If she should 20 30 far
as to forget herself and mention
her lord and master to her shocked
companion her hostess would soon
yawn and explain that she had to
20 and put the bread in.
However, she can talk about her
children all she wants to; there is
nothing in the Hindu etiquette
book against that. She can tell
what funny thing Jamjiji said the
other night at the supper table,
how much he helps her around the
house and delicately hint how much
brighter be is than the other chill
dren in the neighborhood, but she
must never under any circumstances
mention his father.
Even stricter social rules govern
the men. One Hindu man must
never ask another Hindu man how
bis wife is getting along. That
would brand the man as not having
the slightest idea what drawing
room usage was. AN the men at
The club would shun him. No one
would dare to ask him to come over
10 the table and have a grape juice
for fear right before everybody he
might ask how his wife was.
When a Hindu goes to call it is
not good manners to leave until the
host gets up and tells him to co.

perhaps, than any other one land
owner in the State. His total mileage
is about fifty, and this drains about
800 acres of land. There are several
thirty-inch drains, into which a num-

this tiling cost perhaps $25 per acre
to install, it may be thought that it
is too expensive a proposition to be
feasible. But if one could see the
magnificent crops of cotton and corn
growing on his vast plantation, it's
utility would be at once apparent.
Like everything else undertaken by
Mr.. Jones, he has made it pay be-
cause he carefully studied out the
proposition in advance, and went into
it gradually. The result is that there
are no open bitches on the place to
be cleaned out each year, and the
waste space given to weeds, shrubs,
ETC., found along open bitches is now
given to profitable crops.
Good Crops This Year.
Mr.. Jones has 2,400 acres in cot
ton, and despite the very wet weather
in June and July and the resultant
visitation of the boil weevil, he will
get an average crop Of a half bale
to the acre, or a total Of 1900 bales.
The party drove wei the entire plan
and all agreed that this is a
conservative estimate of the crop.
One stalk of cotton was pulled and
had 81 open bolls, with a number of
others yet to open. In addition to
cotton crop, Mr.. Jones has 600
acres of very fine corn. He also has
large crib Of corn carried. over from
asst year, and he makes it a rule every
year to raise enough feed for his
place, SO that none will have to be
