THE UMBRELLA LANGUAGE.
Acts Which Carry with Them a POSI-
tive Meaning.

Acts Which Carry with Them a Posi-
tive Meaning.
There is a language of umbrellas as
of flowers. For instance, place your
umbrella in a rack, and it will often
indicate that it will change owners.
To open it quickly in the street
means that somebody's eye is going to
be in danger.
To- shut it quickly signifies that a
hat or two will probably be knocked off.
An umbrella carried over woman,
the man getting nothing but the drip
pings of the rain, signifies courtship.
When a man has the umbrella, and
the woman the drippings, it indicates
marriage.
To punch your umbrella into a per-
son, and then open it, means Il dis
like you"
To- swing your umbrella over your
shoulder signifies 81 am making null
sance of myself
To trail your umbrella along the
footpath means that the man behind
you is thirsting for your blood.
To carry it at right angles under
your arm signifies that an eye is to be
injured by the man who follows you.
This is generally wOman's way OF
carrying her umbrella.
To open an umbrella quickly, it Is
said, will brighten a mad bull.
TO put an alpaca umbrella by the
side of silk one signifies Exchange
IS no robbery"
To purchase an umbrella indicates Il
am not smart, but honest"
To lend an umbrella indicates II am
a fool"
To return an umbrella meanS-well,
never mind what it means; nobody
ever does that.
70 carry an umbrella in case sig
nifieS it is a shabby one.
To press an umbrella on your friend,
saying: ooh, do take it; would much
rather you would than not" signifies
lying
To give O friend half your umbrella
means that both of you will get wet.
To carry it from home in the morn
Ing means, cit will very likely be fine
day."

"WISE MONEY!"
Influences Brought to Bear on the
Man in the Betting Ring.

Influences Brought to Bear on the
Man in the Betting Ring.
The betting ring is a whirl of ex-
element, augmented by the appear
ance of the wise money" this COM
ing from the punters, who are sup
posed to know little more than any
one else.
These men bet large sums, varying
from $4,000 to $4,000, and are sup
posed to make princely incomes by
SO doing. says a writer in Outing.
Look through the list of plungers
of even five years ago, and with the
exception of the deceased Pittsburg
Phil what is the Individual bank ac-
count?
This whirl upsets the individual
judgment, causing man to switch
from a preconceived horse with a
chance to win, according to his indi-
vidual ideas, to another horse of
which he knows nothing but rumor
This departure from the one beaten
track of each individual is just as
fatal in racing as in any other bust
ness.
Take the bookmaker as an instance,
sitting day by day, letting the public
make selections and steadfastly wag-
ering him the said selections will not
win, certain that he has go per cent.
in his favor at the start.
Realizing this the bookmaker spares
no effort to augment the swirl. Hence
the clever delay in the announcement
of the prices, the constant rush OF
the messengers and the intermittent
and startling variations of prices in
the individual book
No matter whether the individual
bookmaker has done any business on
that particular horse or not, he varies
the prices in obedience to the index
of the figurehead, thus keeping up
the guessing hurrah.
Ninety per cent. Of the wild rumors
as to the trials, the condition, the
chances, of certain horses in each
race have their genesis with the book
makers, who know that nearly every
man, even those of long years of ex-
perience, is looking for information
So, from time to time, wild rushes
are precipitated. where from, no
one knows. There comes an appar-
ent plunge on two or three horses no
one thought seriously of.
The prices are cut from so to to
10 to 1, some one starts a whisper
from the stable,' and the weaker
of the visitors are hooked. Take up
any tabulated chart of any days rae
ing and note the long shot horses
played down which finished nowhere.
One can never find a central figure
for such a vortex. STABLES" do not
put their money down that way. 1t
is to the interest of the stable, equal
ly with the interest of the bookmak-
er, to keep any such legitimate trans
action as much from the notice OF
the public as possible.

EXAMINE 100000 MICE.
Scientists Conduct Investigations In
study of Cancer.

study of Cancer.
The statement made at the meeting
of the imperial cancer research fund
that 100000 mice had been examined
during the past four years draws at
tention to the use being made OF YER
min for scientific purposes, says the
London Tribune.
In this connection some particulars
were obtained by a Tribune represen-
tative in a talk with prominent bac-
teriolOgist
'Mice," said the scientist, care used
in cancer experiments because that dis
ease occurs spontaneously in them. The
work in which they are used began In
Copenhagen. 1t was then taken up by
the Pasteur institute in Paris and sub
sequently in Prof Ehrlich's laboratory
In Frankfort In the last-named place
$4,000 worth of mice have been used
for experiments in sleeping sickness
and cancer
Certain breeders, who have stock
of cancer-infected mice, have found al
most a fortune in the trade, for such
specimens have a fancy value. Mice,
however, are by no means the only
'vermin' used. Rats, for example, are
largely employed in experiments deal
ing with plague. One investigator used
between 900 and 1000 last year. They
are employed to a great extent in In
dia.
at must not be supposed, however,
that the knowledge derived from yer
min is only applied to men. 1t is
largely used in Kidding us of the pest
OF vermin. In South Africa, for in
stance. it was found that when there
was a great deal of plague the rats
which were regarded as dissemi1ators
of it and had therefore to be destroyed
would only take a mineral poison for a
certain time. If one might say such a
thing, they seemed to get tired of it.
1.-The only thing, then, was to find a
bacterial poison for them. Now, there
is actually bacterial culture known
as Danysz's on the market for the de
structicn of rats. Dapysz's work was
originally done in the sewers Of Paris,
and the rats were poisoned in large
numbers. Subsequently the same meth
cd was used for killing off field voles, a
pest to the farmers. Men at the Pas
teur institute were decorated for the
services they had rendered in this way.
"The plague-spreading rat is one of
the problems on which men are working
in India now. Squirrels, likewise,
spread the dreaded disease in India,
and SO. do monkeys, but the native ven
Grafton for the latter is SO great that
monkeys must not be openly destroyed.
Tnoculated animals are, therefore,
transported into the jungle, and the re-
suit desired for protective purposes is
achieved.
''In Australia rabbits are regarded as
yermin, so that it is considered a bene-
ficent act to use them for experimental
purposes and to kill them off. In max
ing these statements | may be allow
ed to take advantage of the moment to
correct the very mistaken idea people
have that experimental work in labOra-
tories is done on cats and dogs. be-
lieve that hardly one dog is used IN a
year in Ehrlich's laboratories"

FIERCE FIGHT IN SALOON.

Thomas Armstrong of Kaukauna
Shot and Desperate May Die.
In a fight with two desperadOes at the
saloon of Clark Fish on the Little Chute
road, three miles north of Appleton, one
of the desperadOes was shot in the head
and sustained what is believed will prove
fatal injuries, and Thomas Armstrong Of
kaukauna was shot twice in the hip. See
ing his partner presumably killed, the
other of the strangers took to the woods.
The sheriff organized posse and the man
was captured. While Mrs. Fish was tele-
phOning for the police, one of the men
opened fire and three shots pierced the
wall not three inches from her head.

A Pensioner of Charles K.

Although France has witnessed thir-
ty-six years of republic, preceded by
twenty-five years of empire and by
some eighteen years more of limited
monarchy, there has fingered on until
the past week the last item on the
civil list of the last King of France,
Chales X. In 1880 Chales granted
a pension of 1900 francs a year to one
of his men servants. And year in
and year out ever since, whatever
system might be up or down, the good
fellow has religiously presented him
self on pension day to draw his 1900
francs, and just as religiously every
succeeding finance minister has had
it ready for him. The old worthy has
