THE INSURGENTS.

There will probably be no revision of the rules of the house of repre- sentatives. Nobody seriously thought there would be after the development of MT. Cannon's strength soon after the election. and most thinking people did not desire any.
 Such a relaxation of the rules as has been proposed would stand in the way of an orderly transaction of business. MT. Cannon may have been despotic, but only firmness which may easily be confounded with des- potism can hold in check the un- tanned representatives who imagine that their business in congress is to dazzle their rural constituents. It may be that MT. Cannon has now and then, as charged. used his great power to obstruct legislation for which there seemed to be a general and excited demand. but it is no new thing for the excited populace to demand things that would not be good for it
 MT. Cannon has been called the chief of the reactionaries, but in time to come he will be better remembered as a serviceable balance wheel. His own people who know him best have the most abiding faith in him, as the election returns from the Danville district revealed. The fact, too, that the most eminent of the insurgents in the last congress, including the Hon. W. P. Hepburn, were also the most eminent of the lame ducks" indicates that the faith in MT Cannon's wis dom and the acceptance of his lead ership extend far beyond his own district.
 It was not to be expected that the insurgents would arouse much sym pathy in President Taft, who has cut out much work for congress. He would hardly favor any change of rules calculated to impair the eff cheney of the congressional machinery.

How savaqes Amuse ThemseIve.

(From Some Savage Pastimes" in the February Wide World Magazine. )
 In the Fiji Monkey Game" laugh ter reaches its highest point, for this is one of the widest they play; and not only the children indulge in It, but the grown-up men sometimes take it into their heads to play it, when it assumes a veEy different aspect. With the childrenNit is pure fun, with little or no danger attach ing to it.
 A crowd of youngsters line up and move about like monkeys who are merely enjoying themselves. Sudden ly one of them stops and gives vent to a shriek of fear; the others take up the cry and immediately break their line and run wildly all over the place, chattering excitedly. When the simulated panic is at its height, the smaller boys spring on to the backs of the bigger ones, and are raced about all over the place till fatigue puts an end to the fun. When their elders play the Monkey Game" however, they often become so worked up that they really behave like a crowd of monkeys gone stark  staring mad.
 Sir Everard F. i'm Thurn, at pres ent Governor of Fiji, relates a most trying experience he went through during one of these mad frolics. He says that the players suddenly burst in amongst the huts, swarmed up the roofs, tearing great mouthfuls of thatch away in their flight. and then dashed into the rooms, upset ting everything they came across and destroying food and furniture. "The old man of the settlement and his wife, in real anxiety for their goods tried to protect what they could, tearing 1t even from out of the monkeys hands or throwing food to them to distract their attention from more valuable property. At last, with the help of two bystanders, the old man secured the more violent of the players, and, despite some too gen. uine scratchings and biting, man. aged to fasten them by ropes round their Joins, monkey wise, to the posts of houses. The captives screamed and shrieked and yelled; they rolled as far as their cords would allow, and tore with their teeth anything that came in their way: food, cloth es, hammocks, pans and calabashes. The whole mighty uproar only ceas- ed when all were literally too tired to do smore."

Lots of Room Needed.

It is a curious fact that the invari- able first thought of a British jack tar when landing from a cruise is to get on horse. For purposes of economy one animal frequently serves for two or three grinning sailors.
 Recently a sailor from the fleet of British warships that accompanied the Prince of Wales to Quebec approached the keeper of a down town livery stable and asked for a horse.
 For riding or driving?" asked the liveryman.
