Australian English.

From the London Chronicle.
One Of the goldfield papers in western
Australia has been bewailing the uncultur-
ed ACCENT adopted by educated" chill
dren in the "Westralian" state schools. In
proof of this such examples are given as
'ee-yuh" for here" ''partickler" for
particular" bin for been" and seen"
for saw" 1t is pointed out, however
that in other parts of the Australian con-
tinent a more Objectionable form OF Ian
guage, the use of slang, predominates. A
head Is ''top-piece'' or napier, eyes
lamps or "ogies," an ear Is lug or
"paddlebox" q mouth is a "kisser" or
"mush," a face Is a dial or ''phiz," ana
legs are clutches" (an abbreyiation OF
Dutch pegs'D. Perhaps. after all, our own
board school products are not altogetner
guiltless of dropping their hs, of forgetting
their grammar and of occasionally using
slang terms.

DIVORCE IN TURKEY.
Nothing Could BE Easier Than Unity
ing the Knot in That Country.
From the London Telegraph


Divorce is very easy in Turkey and does
not require Judge and jury to settle mat
tiers. All that is necessary is for the in
Jured party to say, Il divorce you" three
times and the deed is done. The husband
has to make the wife proper allowance,
and all is over. Two cases have recently
occurred which are rather amusing. A GER
tain Turkish gentleman is a keen amateur
gardener and his garden contains at all
seasons a brilliant show OF flowers, to
which he devotes most of his time, rather
TO the disgust of his wife. who is never al
lowed to cut them Last month his crysan-
themums were In the height of their glory,
when a tremendous downpour of rain
came on
This threatened to destroy the, magnifi-
cent blooms, many OF which were equal In
size to the best results attained In England
Seeing the danger, the gentleman called all
his servants and set to work to carry the
pets into the house and arrange them up
both sides Of the staircase. When they had
finished the lady suddenly appeared and
fell into a violent rage, decIarins. that her
husband thought more OF his flowers than
he did OF her, and that he insuIted her by
bringing earth into the house. In vain he
explained that IN ali best European houses
flowers in pots were the proper thing
Nothing would appease her; she said he
was defiling her house by bringing dirt in
anu she Hould CiVOrce MIN. She sent for
her sister to come and be witness of the
divorce. and setting to work with her
women. bundled all the flowers out again
When the sister arrived. however, matters
were settled UP. and the divorce did not
take place.
On another occasion the same lady sent
her small son down to breakfast In q pink
shirt and green tie. The father was
shocked at this barbarous combination, and
made remark to the English governess
VINO sent the child back to change his tie
But down came the lady OF the house In a
curious rage, saying she knew how to dress
sShe child; that pink shirt and green tie
Was the best OF taste, and she would not

American woman ache to see tho heavy
loads which the poor. overworked old wo-
men carried on their backs In the rural dis

done by women. We saw one poor woman
carrying bricks on her back from one end
of yard to another, and knitting indus

WIND 70 MILES AN

New York. Nov 24.-!The storm
struck Asbury Park. N j.. with more
force than any In recent years. The
wind, during the night attained a We
locity of 70 miles an hour ana did much
damage to cottages. The great waves
rolled across Ocean Avenue and over
flowed Wesley Lake, something that
never occurred since Asbury Park was
located The sea end Of the Asbury
Park washing pier started and was SO
damaged II win have TO be torn down
and rebuilt
The roof OF the Metropolitan Hotel,
one of the largest at Asbury Park, was
torn off and the rain soaked down into
the rooms causing considerable
damage. The foam carried by the wind
beat against houses almost a mills in
land.

Norwalk Tramway Company was COM
PEELED to suspend business this after

The damage to property in this vicin-

Milford probably suffered more than
any other town on the Connecticut
shore and the damage is estimated at
$4,000. The sea wall at Burwells

every bathing house on the beach was
washed away and the banks and lawns
of the summer residences were des-
troyed. The trolley car tracks be-
tween Meadows end and Fort Trumbull

Strengthenedby Of the
Lowell Team-P. A, C. Has
Been in New League but Is Not
Pleased With Prospects

Pawtucketville A. C. of Lowell will
be in the fold again If satisfactory
guarantees can be arranged. AT yes
terday's meeting Of the Massachusetts
Central Basketball League at the
Sherwood House, 1t was voted to accept
the application of P, A. c.. for a place
in the league. and that club will proba-
bly, be the sixth member of the circuit.
While it was generally admitted that
Lowell is redhot for basketball, and
that splendid crowds turn out, it was
shown that the benefits of membership
in the league were greater to the Low
ell team because of it's drawing powers
and facilities for housing big crowd,
than to other members of the league.
The terms upon which p. A. c. can be-
come a member of the league were
submitted to Manager O'Sullivan, and
a reply is expected today. A new sched-
ule will be made out at once provided
that p, A. C. is willing to enter the
league under terms that will give the
other clubs fair-sized guarantee.
1t will be necessary for the Woon-
socket and Webster teams to remain il
Lowell. Boston or Worcester all night
when playing in Lowell Because of
late trains from Boston to Lowell, it
will nearly always be possible for the
Lowell men to return home the same
night.
The return of p A. c. would I'M
doubtedly be pleasing to basketball
fans. The team is one of the fastest
in the state, and the quintet Will
strengthen the league. At the begin
ming of the present season, p. A. c. mad
franchise in the Massachusetts
League, of which Fred H. Sawyer Of
Hudson is president. Manager OSulli-
van was dissatisfied with the prospects
and the application for place in Pres.
ORourke's league followed.
Tonight the Father Mathews and
Catholic Young Mems Lyceum teams
will meet in Father Matthew Hall for
the first time this season. 1t will be
the warmest encounter of the week so
far as Worcester teams in the league
are concerned. Last season, the Ly-
ceums won a majority of the games
against their Green Street rivals This
SEASON Manager Thompsons men have
faith in their ability to gain a decision
over the Lyceums in one or a series of
games. George D. Morse will officiate
as referee.
Lyceums will play at Woonsocket to-
morrow night, instead of on Thursday
Father Mathews will play at Woon-
socket Friday, instead of Saturday. rha
holiday game will be Webster VS.. Mill
bury at Webster Thursday at D. M
1t is probable that meeting of the
league will be called for tomorrow
night to act upon the reply received
! from the p. A. C. management.

the following:

the next house is Representative
Frank M. Heath OF Worcester. This
will be his second year in that body.
He has just passed through his perfod
Of probation as a state legislator. and
is pronounced strong by the legislative
critics. Heath knew the place OF the
first year man. Unlike certain others,
he recognized early that experience
in the common council Of his own city
was not the only recommendation
needed for success on Beacon HILL
Hence he listened well, moved slowly
and spoke only when he had some
thing to say The net result was that
he secured and held the respect and
confidence Of his colleagues. His ca

an object lesson TO those who would
