STORIES OF THE TOWN.

At a certain refined boarding house" in
Indianapolis there lives a young lady
named Miss Tompkins. Miss Tompkins is
e. very elegant young lady. In the matter
Of dropping her IRIS" at the wrong places,
curling her little fingers when handling
her teacup, snubbing facetious young men
and on other points of clearinghouse ETH
quette she is all that a constant reader Of
the Young Ladies Home Journal should
be. Her conversation, when the boarders
assemble three times day, deals alternate
ly with the splendor and social standing
past, present and to come, of the Tomp-
kinseS, and with the privations and dis
comforts suffered by person of refined
feelings in a boarding house. Especially
for long period, did she bewail the alb
sence of finger bowls AT the close of every
meal her fellow-boarders were Informed
on the table, and that really she could
scarcely live without them. One day there
arrived at the boarding house little old
the Tompkins family For several days she
listened patiently to Miss Tompkinss la
ment because of the lack of finger bowls,
and then she remarked, innocentiy: "Yes,
dear, your mother and / always had a
finger bowl but ours was tin one out on
the back porch.

DIsCoMFoRrs OF THE WEATHER.

DISCOMFORTS OF THE WEATHER.
Men mopped their faces yesterday and
stood In front of electric fans and grum-
bled women famed and complained. and
everybody suffered. The asphalt pavement
sent off terrific heat and seemed almost to
be over great furnace. In the sun the
heat was well-nigh intolerable- But there
was one feature of relief to the weather
Yesterday. That was brisk southerly
breeze. All day the wind lasted and those
who could sit or walk-slowly-in shady
places were able, to a limited degree, TO
keep reasonably comfortable.
The hottest day of the present month of
June came eighteen days later than the
hottest day of last June. On June IL, 1907
the government thermometer recorded 81
degrees. The hottest June day since the
government established its weather station
here was in 1895, when, on June 3, the maxi
mum temperature was 100 degrees The
two hottest days of the month just closed
M to Yesterday were the Sth and 18th, when
the maximum temperature was "a degrees.
The next hottest day of this year was May
%, when the government thermometer
showed So degrees maximum temperature.
AS a whole. the month of May was three
degrees cooler than the average. The aver
age temperature for May was 6S degrees.
The hottest Gay during the last thirty-two

mercury stood around q all day. On the

S4 Three days later IL was twenty-three
degrees cooler. And on the 18th IL was
still cooler. In four more days the city
was enveloped in something like summer
heat again. the temperature being around

Indianapolis had TO get out its light over

Vaughn's views are those of our best and
most recent water analysis such as Mason,
Stoddard. whipple and others
Typhoid Is at a minimum in Indianapolis
and il should be entirely destroyed as far as
drinking water is concerned. The great
danger is still from polluted wells as in
the Irvington incident year ago. where
twelve cases of typhoid and the death of
two Butler college students resulted from
drinking water from a well polluted by ty-
Phoid case in a residence one block distant.
The typhoid ecreta were received directly
into well from the street which did not
have proper curbing to keep out the sur
face drainage. The water company Is now
putting in a filter system costing half
million dollars. The system was approved
by Mr.. Leighton, the economical hydro
graher of the United States Geological Sur
vey before the health school recently in ses-
sion in Indianapolis.
such is the fallacy of the typhoid dag
nosis that we can only determine the num-
Der of cases in any city by the number of
deaths. If there are five deaths in month,
there were fifty cases, as on the average the
death rate from typhoid fever is 10 per cent
The Chinese of our city who use only
boiled tea and cooked foods. do not have
typhoid fever. Those who fear the disease
should cook everything they eat, the milk.
the water and all the vegetables. And
finally every typhoid case is a menace TO the
immediate family and also TO the neighbour
hood in which 1t occurs In fly season, fam
lilies adjacent TO typhoid case snouid
screen the doors and windows and cover well
an open well, they should boil ii as pre-
caution against pollution from the disease
The infective matter is often carried about
on the mouth parts and feet IF house flies
and their presence often explains the COM
mon occurrence of several deaths In coun-
try home where the water and milk sup
plies are good"
NO REASON FOR ALARM.
DR.. Henry Jameson said: AFTER having
seen the report of the examination of the
city water by Drs. Clark and White, /
would say that there is nothing unusual or
disturbing In the disclosures of disease pro-
ducing germs. The different bacilli reported
may be found In almost any water where
special precautions not taken to fill
tration, but do not necessarily cause pollu-
ton. A perfect water supply should show
evidence of pollution and every city
should look to their filter systems for puri-
fication. That can only be accomplished by
constant duty of the local situation. In
so far as the present water situation in In
dianapolis Is concerned, think the water is
good. as any water will show, at times, a
moderate number of colon bacilli."

--EANT FOR COMPLIMENTS.
Expressions of Approval Rendered
 in Slang So Quickly Acquired ! by Foreigners.

Immigrants, the workers in the social settlements say, so often wish to Amer icanize themselves as fast as possible in ways and speech that they sometimes acquire the language, as it were, wrong side foremost, getting vivid and mod ern assortment of slang before they can use even ordinary words correctly, says Youths Companion. .es
 A young woman who has taught 8 class of little foreign-born girls, and who happens to be in appearance peculiarly small, dainty and elegant, had the pleasure recently of overhearing two of her pupils speaking of her.
 'sShe is bully lady!" said the first, with enthusiasm. "She is great!" :.
 F'Oh, yes,'' assented the other, ''she is great she is gran she is immense! An the hat she was wear! It is most styl- ish corker."
 Another womaLAAIlad more startling experience. She is plump and pleasing to look at, just right in the eyes of her friends, but in her own a little too near the point where one ceases to say plump and begins to use less agreeable word; and that she may some day slip over the line of division between the, two is her secret and haunting fear. As charity worker and in pure neighborly kindness, she has made many friends among the foreign-born residents of her city One of them, volubIe, warm-hearted wom- an of middle age, whose vocabulary is innocent of more than one pronoun and all but the most direct and obvious ad- jectives, once met her unexpectedly in the street after vacation from which !. the settlement-worker had returned rosy, sunburned, vigorous, and carry ing an extra pound or two which she pre- ferred not to remember.
 Her friend rushed up to her beaming with welcome, seized her in an envelop- ing embrace, and then, wishing to ex- press polite appreciation of her blooming appearance exclaimed loudly in voice of rapture:
