In the NilgEl hills of southern India
there dwells race of men, the Todas.
who devote the whole of their career
to the worship Of the COW or, to be
precise, of the buffalo. Their most
sacred temple is cow house. and
the whole life OF the people Is gov
erned by the most rigid observance
of the routine Of dairy work. every de-
tail Of which is performed with the
NEST elaborate ritual. They alone can
perform the duties Of milking and but
ter making who have been duly conse-
Grated for this work by fasting and
the performance Of mysterious rites.
Representing the only priesthood
they are compelled after their initia.
tion for the rest Of their days to play
the role Of the dairyman. The lesser
priests may marry, but the high priest
must be celibate, at least for given
period OF years. Polyandry is the fam
lily rule. but divorce ID unknown.

TWO CITY BOYS IN EUROPE.

With q view to securing a position
in the United States Consular Depart.
ment at Berlin, Germany, Fred Esch OF
this city, graduate of the North Side
High school, class of 1908, who with AL
bert Heyroth went to Germany to take
up their studies, has now taken up
special course in Germany in the study
of international law, and writes to Prof
Keller here that he is confident that he
will secure that much coveted place.
The two left Manitowoc last spring
without cent, bent on working their
way to Germany to take up their stud
les They went from here to Toronto,
Canada, and there embarked on a cat.
tie ship bound for Europe, working their
passage across.
Both Fred Esch and Albert Heyroth
are graduates, class of '03, of the North
Side High and entered school at Shar-
Gutenberg Germany Mr.. Esch taking
up the study Of law, and later Mr.. Hey.
roth went to Berlin to take up the study
of the telephone construction and other
appliances. After arriving at their desti-
nation last spring the two lads, on their
bicycles, began journey through Eur.
ope.
They went through England and
then across the channel, journeying to
Paris, Switzerland and back up through
Germany to Berlin. Mr.. Esch has for
the present discontinued his study of
law at Sharlottenberg and taken up spec
ial studies in order to qualify himself of
the position in the United Consular de.
partment in the German capital, which
involves the taking up of international
law.
Both are types of Manitowoc young
men who promise to make their mark
in the world and their many friends
will be pleased to learn of their progress

In sending ont the circulars naturally
some mistakes may have been made.
In some cases it may have reached par
ents whose children are attending some
other school than the one in their dis
trict while in other cases the circular
should have been sent to others. Many
replies have come to the Office explain
ing the matter. The teachers are send
ing in their attendance reports now and
the matter will be checked up again af
ter Jan. /.
As we get this work more and more
organized we shall know concerning
the attendance OF every child in the
county. 1t is our duty as officers tc
work for the interest of the state and
we cannot work for the state to better
advantage than to look after the educa
tion of the coming generation.

A uEARrLESs BUSINESS.

England imports 25, 600, 600 slaughter
ed birds every year Europe as II whole
taking 800, 600, 600, which are made into
articles of personal adornment. A
single London dealer receives annually
400, 600 humming birds, 5000 birds of
Paradise and 900, 600 of other species.
One firm in Chicago sells yearly $1,000
humming birds, 80 600 acquatic fowl and
800, 600 wings from birds of other species.
These statistics are from reports careful,
ly prepared by the Audubon Society of
Massachusetts,; they disclose the enor.
nous extent to which the reckless des.
truction of bird life is carried at the be.
hest Of fashion. The story is reproach
to the humane age in which we live.
Mr.. butchers theory-that this utro.
cious Strengthening is permitted because
women, as individuals. are unwilling
to take the responsibility Of revolving
against it's probably the true one.
Their idea is no doubt that to do 30
wouli make them appear radical,
strong minded, or new womanish. "
But, remembering that no woman has
ever suffered any such embarrassment
by identifying herself with the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami.
mal-, it ia strange that any sentimental
notions should deter her from Joining in
II common movement to prevent the
destruction of the birds. If certain spe.
cies of bird life are extinguished, M they
certainly will be unless the slaughter is
checked, the responsibility for it will
rest on the women. 1t is they who en-
courage the deadly work by using the

trophies of heartless massacre and up.
on them will rest the guilt of wanton
and irreparable crime against the com.

ETIQUETTE OF THE PUNCH.
Matter That Is Sometimes a Difficult
Thing to Decide.

To punch or not to punch is one OF
the most difficult questions In life.
There is an etiquette OF punching. but
il does not always help man much
when the contingency arises and he
Is forced to decide on the spur OF the
moment whether he will or not. When
the lie is given or certain opprObious
epithets are personally applied eli.
quette calls for punch. This Is sup
posed to be the irreducib'' minimum
OF punching. without the use Of which
no man can go through life holding his
head erect Beyond this irreducible
minimum man may suit his taste,
his disposition and his temper In the
use Of his fist. within certain limits,
without violating the proprietes or
incurrng disapproval as a bully. There
are many optional punches, SO to
speak, on which the world looks with
approval besides these two compul
sorry punches. The punch chivalrous.
for instance. the weapon Of modern
knight errantry. In defense Of the dis
tressed maids and matrons IS OF the
optional but approved sort.

GETS NEWS OF INHERITANCE.

VIM F. Ohde, manager of the Daily
Herald, received notice last week that
he was heir to an estate left by his
grandfather, Frederick Won Ohde, who
died recently in Germany. Mr.. Ohde
went to Milwaukee Monday to consult
with the German consul regarding the
matter. The number of heirs is not
known at present, and it will take some
time before there will be anything de.
finite as to what Mr.. Ohde's share Of the
estate will be. 1t seems that there are
some grounds for the belief that his
share may reach 10000 marks, which
is equal to about $500.

mill annually on every 81, 900 of depos-
its. This would be more than ample to
pay all losses in national banks for each
year, as has been experienced in the
past forty. three pears Of the national
banks existence. AS this national
banks insurance company would be
under the control of the comptroller, it
would be operated at little expense. |
should advise for your own benefit to
make the insurance fund so large that
the most timid will not entertain the
least doubt as to the remotest possibili
ty of loss
And for this purpose | would pro-
pose that the banks deposit with the
United State treasury per cent of their
average deposits. This would he equi-
valent to so on each $1,000 deposit
This would stand as a reserve fund in
case Of temporary need. But most like
ly it will never be touched. This per
cent reserve fund might be paid in by
the banks in municipal bonds the banks
may have on hand, the interest to be
collected by the comptroller and re-
mitted to the bank owning it.
When a hank goes out of business,
the reserve fund paid in, and also that
not used of the one mill insurance tax,
to be retnrned to such bank. AS most
every bank has many times the bouds
required, as above, on hand, it might
more safely have these deposited with
the government If this should be done
at the present date, the insurance reserve
fund on about six billion dollars deposit,
at per cent would be $50 600, O00 and
the insurance tax of one.tenth per
cent, S6, 600. 000 total Sod, 600, 600
This insurance fund would inspire un-
bounded confidence. The losses, based
on the experience of the past forty-three
years, would be only ~, 500, 600 so there
would be surplus, the first year OF
81. 200 600 from the | mill tax insur.
ance fund. AS we must expect that all
bank deposits would enter the national
system, these figures would soon be more
than doubled. There is no question
that everyone of your depositors will
highly appreciate the insurance, and
the good will of your deposltors is
worth many times the little tax you will
be required to pay"

this fall. This may be due partly to the
Compulsory Attendance law, but it is a
fact that the large majority of parents

1t has also been sent to parents whose
