MANI nOSbANDS IN a HUME
Although polygamy is we'll known
social institution, the opposite state
of married life-polyandry, in which
one woman is the wife of more than
one man-is less practiced, yet is an
accepted institution in parts of the
world. In Thibet especially is poly
andry practiced. The most usual
case is where brother allows young
er brothers to assume the place Of
husbands in his home upon their
reaching maturity. AS might be ex-
pected, this state of marriage is found
only in regions where conditions are
such that one man would find it
very hard to support or protect wife.
The practice of killing girl babies and
a consequent shortage of women is
another cause. In Thibet, the coun-
try where this strange social custom
is most practiced, the majority of the
people are herders and are away from
home for long stretches of time
which fact helps to keep down the
number of excess husbands available
for housekeeping.

APPRECIATION

He was whistling at his work
With a grin upon his face.
Not a solitary shirk
Seemed to loiter in the place,
But this youth who caught my eye
Seemed to glory in his task,
So l stopped to find out why
And this question paused to ask:
"Tell me this, my cheerful lad.
As you whistle at your bench,
Why it is you seem so glad
To employ that heavy wrench?
Why so earnestly today
Do you labor at your task?"
And he looked as though to say;
"That's foolish thing to ask"
Then he answered with a grin
AS he laid aside his wrench:
"Just today the boss came in
And he stood beside my bench
And he spoke to me like you,
Then took up this work of mine
Looked it over, looked it through
And then he said, its simply fine
"You can talk about your pay
And the pleasure of raise,
But I'm telling you today
That little word O. praise
From the man you're working for
Does a fellow lots O. good,
And it makes him more and more,
Want to keep on saving wood"

CROWDED CAR CUTS SWITCH
 AND TIPS
Several Persons Are In jured But None Are Ser
 iously Hurt.

A number of persons were badly shaken up when they were thrown from their seats in a pay-as-you-enter car which split the switch at the car barn on Stratford avenue about six o'clock last evening.
 AS the car approached the car barn , at a moderate speed the front truck took the switch, but the switch opened and the rear truck turned towards the barn and tilted the body of the car to one side so that the steps rested on the ground. The motorman, Dennis Eackett, applied the brakes and stopped the car. which after a. while was righted and went into the barn with its own power.
 There were about 60 passengers on the car and all were thrown from their seats and all but a. few escaped with only the shaking up they re- ceived. The most seriously injured were Mrs. 0f. c. Curtis of 402 Hunting ton TO q, who was badly bruised about the right side. and Miss Eliza beth Cullen of 2s2 Sedswfcl1 avenue, Strafford, who received severe bruises on her left side and leg. The other dn- 3ured who gave their names were L. c. wooisey of 1.o6S Stratford avenue, A. Delamore of 30 Whalley avenue, New Haven, and Mrs. J. F. Hodell of 210 Bunnell street.
 Tho ambulance from the Emergency hospital responded to a call and after an examination the ambulance sur- Geon decided that all were able to continue their journey.

PHYSICAL RESEARCH AND SOME
 OF THE BIG RESULTS OBTAINED

trlfl1ng, and not such as to preclude the idea of trickery. Ones coat tails would be pulled, paper cutters, etc., wound fly about, knocks would shake our chairs and so on. I do not count messages, usually of no interest, which were spelt out alphabetically by raps that seemed to come from the neighorhood of the mediums feet. Perhaps what struck us most were fights which on one or two occasions floated about. They were real enough, but rather difficult to locate, though I do not think they were ever more than six or eight feet away from us. Like some of those described by Sir W. Crookes. they might be initiated by phosphorous and enclosed in cot ton wool: but how Mrs. Jenckens could manipulate them with her hands and feet held, and 1t would seem with only her mouth at liberty, is a diff ficulty.
 Another incident hard to explain occurred at the close of a seance after we had all stood up. The table at which we had been sitting gradually tipped over until the circular top nearly touched the floor, and then slowly rose again into the normal position. Mrs. Jencken, as well as our selves, were apparently standing quite clear or II. nave OIten lrleQ since to make the table perform a similar evolution. Holding the top with both hands, I can make some, though a bad, approximation; but it was impossible that Mrs. Jeneken could have work ed ot thus. Possibly something better could be done with the aid of an ap- paratus of hooks and wires: but Mrs. Jenckens was a. small woman, with out much apparent muscular develop ment, and the table for its size was heavy. It must be admitted that the light was poor, but our eyes we're then young, and we had been for a long time in the semi-darkness. In common, I suppose with most witness ses of such things, I repudiate alto an explanation. The incidents were almost always unexpected, and our 1m- pressions of them agreed.
 The Devils Part.
 One of the difficulties which beset the society's inquiry is the provoking attitude of many people who might render assistance. Some see nothing out of the way in the most marvellous occurrences, and accordingly take no pains over the details of evidence on which everything depends. Others at- tribute all these things to the devil, and refuse to have anything to say to them. I have often pointed out that during the long hours of seances they could keep the devil occupied in so comparatively harmless manner they deserved well of their neighbors. A real obstacle to decision arose from the sporadic character of the phenom-

 Whether any assistance from Bol- sheyik sources has been at work we may never know, but the persons mainly responsible, who are incapable of controlling the storm with which they threatened Government. may now denounce the authorities for using force to avert a catastrophe
 Change of Policy Urgent
 The policy of trying to placate the little minority which desires to rule India has failed, and the Secretary of State may we'll change the advisors who have led him into series of errors. It has now been made plain that even so-cal1ed moderates will not support a measure obviously re- quired for the protection of the lives and property of Indians.
 Our heavy responsibility remains, and if anarchy is not to supersede the finest achievements of our race. we must fearlessly and with a single eye to the welfare of the masses re- sume the functions of government. which for some years have been part ly in abeyauce- zs

Two Cent Letters and
 One Cent Cards Soon

July 1 will usher in the two-cent postage stamps and stamped envel- opes and one-cent postal cards. A new contract for stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers will also be- como effective on that date, accord ing to orders issued at the main post ofice today.
 The cost of envelopes to the de- partment is increased somewhat on certain envelopes. but is reduced on the extra quality envelopes. Prices to the public will therefore be changed beginning July 1. The increase will be f2 oents per 1000 on first quality printed and imprinted envelopes of the No. 6 and No. I3 sizes. Prices of other sizes are printed elsewhere in the Postal Bulletin. Postmaster will advise known users of printed and imprinted envelopes so far as can be done without expense to the depart ment. of the coming increases in price. so that they may pleace orders now for 1 and cent envelopes at the present low rates. ThS contractor, who R/t somewhat behind in deliver les during the war because of diffi- culty in obtaining materials and skill ed labor. has now caught up with or dcrs and can i'll acquisitions promptly.
 By placing orders now. users of stamped envelopes will not only get she advantage of the low prices. but can avoid the delays of delivery which may occur If orders in excess of the contractors capacity are re- eeived after June 3oth on account of the heavy deniand for cent en- veiopes to meet the reduction in the vate of postage. Acquisitions receiv- cd at the department after June 30th will be filled only at the new prices.

ena, which cannot be, reproduced at at1c experimental control.
 The questions before the society differ from most of those dealt with by scientific men, and might often need a different kind of criticism. Such criticism it has been the constant aim of the society to exercise, as must be admitted by all who had carefully studied its published matter If my words could reach them I would ap- peal to serious inquirers to give more attention to the work of the society conducted by experienced men and women, including several of the skep- tical turn of mind, and not to indulge in nasty conclusions on the basis of reports in the less responsible news- paper Press, or on the careless gossip Of tll-informed acQuaintances.
 or late years the published work of the society has dealt rather with questions of another sort, involving te1epathy, whether from living or other 1ntelligences, and some of the most experienced and cautious inves- 'tgators were of the opinion that a case had been made out. To my mind, telepathy with the dead would pres ent comparatively little difficulty when 1t is admitted as regarded the living. If the apparatus of the senses was not used in one case, why should 1t be needed in the other?

The Extremists Opportunity.
 Here was the chance of the extreme and dominant party, which, with the machinery for a propaganda ready to hand, could denounce the "Black Act" as an instrument passed by a foreign government for the oppression of the masses who were absolutely unaffected, and when a passive resis- tance movement was inaugurated rioting was certain.
 We do not yet know all that has occurred: but the total loss of life and the material damage must be considerable. The Pun5ab. always a storm center, has been most affected. and .Amrftsar. with a. large Sikh and Mohammedan population, has been the scene of great violence, while Ahmedabad, Bombay, Calcutta, and many other places have been more or less involved The attacks on gov ernment buildings and British banks show the anti-European character of the risings, and the destruction of railway station and telegraph. com municadon is evidences of organized direction. The selection of Viramgsn. where the Indian railways connect with the Wathiawar State systems, is significant, and here the rioters-after the manner of mobs-deltberately des- troyed the fodder intended for the famiahsd cattle of Gujsrat.
