THEIR THIRD WIFE A TREE
Hindus Have Evolved Really Unique
Way Of Evadins Religious
Technieality.

Probably the most curious form of
Mffria;se In existence prevails In India,
vi IRE men and women are married to
trees. A Hindu in the Punjab cannot be
legally married third time, and when,
therefore, he wants a third wife, he is
married to certain tree, so that when
ne does actually take another wife she
counts ms his fourth.
In another district Of India there are
communities where tree marriage is
soiemnizeds in the case of a man who
has lost two wives and is DESTROYS Of
taking third. or man who Is too
poor to marty In the usual way.
In the latter case. the man Is after.
wards married to q widow. As, how
ever. the remarriage Of a widow IL held
by orthodox Hindus to be fraught with
every calamity. the wedding 10 per.
formed at dead Of night under an old
mango tree. II Is not easy to under
stand the reason for such an extraor-
binary custom as tree marriages. but
one authority points out that 1t seems
to be intended to avert the curse Of
widowhood. the -husbands being al
ways alive.

SMART PIECE OF ADVERTISING
Excursions Inaugurated by St. Paul
Real Estate Man Got Result
He Had Hoped For.

One Of the most daring schemes In
real estate. advertising, and perhaps
the first, In the United States, was the
series Of December excursions on the
Mississippi between 1865 andl879. con-
Quoted by Col. GIrard Hewitt Of st.
Paul. Colonel Hewitt opened a real
estate office in st Paul in 1856. Bust
ness did not go well. Immigrants
from the old countries heard Of the
"hyperborean climate of Minnesota
and preferred to stay away from it.
In December. 1855. shortly before
Christmas, Colonel Hewitt organized q
steamship excursion on the Mississippi.
Guests were invited with the under
standing that every one was to wear
q linen "duster" and be equipped with
q fan. A section Of the Mississippi
that was not covered with Ice was
chosen for the excursion and spot
not far from st. Paul as the picnic
ground.
On the appointed day the guests ar
rived. all protected with heavy wooden
sweaters and fur coats underneath the
linen busters, and each armed with q
fan In his gloved hands.
Colonel Hewit's trick worked. News
Of the st. Paul excursion was spread
far and wide throughout the East.
Colonel Hewit's December excursions
On the Mississippi were kept up till
1879, the year Of his death.

One who recently had occasion to investi-

parison of the costs of apple orchards in
Georgia and in Washington State. Being
particularly interested in Wenatchee Valley
he ascertaned by way of Bulletin No. 446
of the federal department of agriculture
that the average investment in eighty-seven
cases officially surveyed was twenty thou
sand, nine hundred and seventy-four dollars
or two thousand and twenty-six dollars an
acre. The average size of those ranches"
as they are called is given as eleven and
four-tenths acres; the average size of the
bearing apple orchard, six and fiye-tenths
acres; and the average valuation per acre
OF the bearing apple orchard, one thousand
nine hundred and twenty dollars. "In
Georgia." correspondent writes, where
the yield and quality of apples will average
at least as high as in Wenatchee Valley and
where, by reason of nearer markets and bet
ter freight rates the net returns to the own
er larger orchards of bearing age may
be procured at less than one-third of the
Washington State costs as reported in the
official bulletin"
