MINED THEIR METAPHORS.
Amusing Blunders Made by Members
British Parliament.
From The London Daily Mail.


FreQuenters Of the House. an authority
writes to the Daily Mai. have for a lonl
time marked a woful depreciation in the ar
Of parliamentary speaking. Notable ex-
c~eptions are Mr.. Balfour. Mr.. Chamberlain
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, Mr.. Asquith
Mr.. John Redmond and Mr.. 7. Healy; the last
named, during an Irish land debate last
session. delivered one OF the finest speeches
1t has been my plea sure to hear.
Curious enough is the fact that probably
the best m and the most lucid and
finished sentences come from the Labor side
In the example set by Mr.. Keir Hardie. Only
an unfortunate but no doubt conQuera BILE
jerkiness of delivery prevents the Labor
leader from being numbered in the front
rank Of modern pa rla orators.
The mixed met phor gives many unsus-
pectlng members a fall. Mr.. Asauith not
long ago amused the House with the phrase:
"Ou ton gu es are tied. our hands are fettered
and we are really beating the air to no pur-
pose"
Mr.. John Burns improved on this by de-
claring, In reference to the children's employ
ment bill. Il will now repeat what | was about
to say when the honorable member inter-
rupted me-" Then there was the wealthy
manufacture member who, dealing with
the legal position Of trade unions. asseverated
that "the interests Of the employers and en-
ployed are the same nine times out Of ten-nay
l will go further. and say ninety-nine times
out Of ten"
A member of the present Opposition, OBJ
serving signs OF dissent from a Liberal. ex-
claimed: All. the honorable member opposite
may shake his head. but he cannot shake
mine" Sir" said Mr.. Walter Long on educa.
ton matters. we are told that by this legis-
lation the heart of the country will be shaken
to It's foundations"
The House of Commons is too hurried,
too strenuous. too utilitarian In these times
to encourage the ornamental in oratory.
Moreover. every member in the chamber
appears anxious to have his say. Up to
the present some 400 lie glslators out OF $40 have
delivered speeches during the session. These
are regarded as the principal causes OF the
decadence Of pa parliamentary style.
Mr.. Charles Seymour, the elocutionist, who
coaches many parliamentary candidates and
before whom not a few member rehearse
the speeches they hope to deliver before the
House. pronounced the suggestion OF a class
for politicians impossible.
Members who honor me with their patron-
age, he said, creep stealthily into my studio.
They would not have their mission known
under any circumstances. 1t is not shame;

siderable advancement and partly becluse
the government is administered entirely
by native Officials.
The Maharajah is one of the most dis
tinguished of the native princes and a
de ,cendant Of the famous Rljput line OF
kings. He lives in Oriental 81 yle, has a
number Of wives, and elephants, camels and
horses galore. He is an orthodox Hindu
of the ~strictest type and drinks no water
but the water of the Gauges. When he
went to England to attend thu coronation
he chartered a ship, took his retinue with
him and carried Ganges water en- ough
10 last until his return.
He is very loyal to the British Govern
ment and in return he is permitted to exer-
else over his subjects a power as absolute
as the Gar ever claimed. There is an
English Resident at his capital, but his coun-
Gil is composed of Indians, his Judges are
Indians, his collectors are Indians, his
school teachers are Indians and he has an
Indian army.
I had the pleasure of meeting one Of
the council and the head Of the school
system of the State, and found them men
OF fine appearance and high culture. The
illiteracy in his State compares favorably
with that in the States under British adj
ministration, and the graduates from the
Maharajah's college compete successfully
n the examinations with the graduates
from other colleges.
They have at Jaipur an art school in
which all kinds OF manual training are
taught, and the sales room Of this school
gives accurate information as to the capacity
OF the natives for industrial development.
We found here the only native pottery
Of merit that we noticed in the country.
CITY OF PINK AND GREEN M WHITE.
The city OF Jaipur was laid out in 1928
and is one Of the most attractive cities Of
India. The main streets are 10 feet wide,
the buildings are Oriental in style, most Of
them two stories in height-some three
and are all painted the same shade OF pink
with white trimmings and green shutters,
The entire city is supplied with water
and the streets are lighted by gas. All in
all, Jaipur makes a favorable impression
upon the visitor.
Some six miles away is the ancient city
OF Amber, the capital Of the State until
JAinur was established. 1t Is reached by

WELL L By NATIVES.
Jaipur, the first of the western cities
and the only one Of the native Stltes that
we visited, is deserving of some notice,
partly because it gives evidence of con-

you have any food to spare, and sparrows
and other small birds occasionally CLEAN
crumbs from the table. At Jaipur we saw
myriads of pigeons being fed in the streets,
and monkeys-they are everywhere.
The iungles of the tropical countries are
not more throngcd with them h the road
sides of some parts Of India. About half
way between Jaipur and Bombay they
were especially numerous, and as we rode
along on the train we saw them singly, in
groups and in mass meetings.
Here, too, we saw herds of antelope
scarcely frightened by the train. Atten-
ton has frequently been called to the fact
that the Hindu's aversion to meat has a
bearing upon the famine question, millions
of cattle dying of starvation, which If killed
earlier might nave saved thousands OF
human beings from starving.
A nights ride from Jaipur brought
US to Abu road, from which by pony carts,
called tongas, we assembled to Mount Abu,
sixteen miles away. The journey is made
over a we'll kept mountain road which
climbs to a height OF about 5000 feet.
While this mountain resort draws many
Europeans because OF its altitude, two
famous Jain temples are the lodestones
that attract tourists. These temples we're
built by merchant princes in the eleventh
and twelfth centuries, and the fact that
one of them cost more than IS 900 900 shows
that trade had reached a commanding
position in those days.
One Of the temples was built by two
brothers, and the guide tells Of a tradition
that these brothers, firing Of their money,
decided to bury it, but on digging in the
earth they found more, and considering
it a gift from the gods built this temple.
MARBLE CARVINGS.
The buildings are not large, and seen
from the outside are disappointing; but
once within one marvels at the richness
Of the carvings. The pillars and vaulted
ceilings are of the purest white marble,
brought from no one knows where, and
every inch OF the surface is covered with
figures Of gods. human beings, animals,
fowls and flowers.
The artists utilized the things with which
the people were most familiar. Here a
frieze Of elephant heads, the trunks Joined,
there a frieze OF geese, another OF tigers
or monkeys. In one dome maidens danced.

Statistics show that the perez nta ge OF
education among the Parsees is very much
higher than among any other class OF in
habitants and the women share the educa-
tional advantages with the men. The well
to do Parsees have been conspicuous in
philanthropy, endowing colleges, hospitals
and other charities.
While they are counted among the
stanchest friends Of British rule, they are
also among the most intelligent critics Of
the Governments faults. Sir Pher osha
NJ. Mehta, the leading Parsee orator, is
prominent in the national congress move
ment. At a reception given at the hotel
and on other occasions we had an oppor-
tunity to meet a number of the Parsees,
men and women, priests and laymen, and
found them abreast with the times and
alive to the problems with which the world
is wrestling to-day.

dog collar studded with sharp spikes three
inches long.
Fitting the collar on his dog he resumed:
"This piece Of armor for that ia what 1t is
illustrates an Oddly oftheHimalayas-namely.
the fondness Of the Himalayan leopard for
dog flesh.
all dogs wore these murderous looking spiked
collars. The explanation was that the Hima-
layan leopards conducted an, unceasing dog
hunt. and that. in attacking a dog, they always
fell upon his neck.
This collar, with its sharp spikes, is a
great protection. 1t has saved many a dog
