Speech Vulgar
and Profane

[fs.zz.==.sss,zs.ss HERE is no need of going
r% to Webster for the defini-
v JM v. tion of cigarette. Every
SWMIy body knows that it is lit
s1sS-a=z tie cigar. 1t is a bit of to-
bacco rolled up in a bit of
paper, and made to look both attrac-
tive and harmless. 1t is a cigar in its
infancy. In time, if the one who in
dulges in cigarette smoking lives long
enough, it will grow into a cigar. But
the weed done up in the fine style of
a cigarette is not thought to be quite
so offensive and vulgar as when en-
joyed in the form of pure Havana or
a big black Conestoga, or clay pipe.
1t is tobacco all the same, whether
held together by leaf from it's own
stem, or wrapped up in curl papers,
or crammed into the bowl of meer-
schaum. For obvious reasons it is the
cigarette that is most affected by
ladies'.
However, it is not with cigarette
smoking that we are now concerned,
but with cigarette swearing. For there
is kind of profanity which bears the
same relation to the coarser sort of
taking the name of the Lord in vain
that the tempting little cigarette does
to the full grown cigar. This, too. is
the form of swearing which is most
indulged in by the fair sex. 1t is not
often, fortunately, that one hears a
round, plump oath from the lips of a
woman. When one does, it is unut-
terably shocking, especially if it be
from the lips of a mother in the midst
Of her children.

"PoIite" Profanity.

But profanity akin to this loud
mouthed and repulsive type, and
which suggests very strong inclina.
ton to use the more emphatic words,
were it allowable to do so, is not un.
common in the conversation of large
numbers of our well-meaning and even
cultivated ladies. At every turn of
surprise in the talk that is going on,
on every little occasion when there
seems to be call for protest, it is
Good Lord" Good heavens!" MY
gracious!" and so on through the list
Sometimes there is more boldness in
the eXpletive employed, and one
whose opinions on actions are not
satisfactory is denounced as BLANK
idiot" Every one who hears the ex
preston knows exactly what tho
speaker wishes to say, and the soften
ed substitute does not much relieve
the situation; nor does the smile
which goes round in the circle Of
listeners do much toward atoning for
the suggested blaspheny.

Many women are not aware that
scales on the feet of canary birds are
caused by lack of sand on the cage
floor. The canary must scratch i'm or
der to keep its feet perfectly clean,
and, at the same time, prevent long
nails that eventually cripple bird, so
it Is unable to stand on it's perch. Many
persons give a small dish of sand to
canary, thinking it valuable only as
an aid to digestion. True, birds eat
sand, but 1t is just as necessary for
them to have it for external use 1t
takes the place Of dust baths by which
birds free themselves from insects and

This Is the score with which Han

into second place in the game played

a number of penalties. These, howev-

slashing at the puck, and little or no
attempt ut rough tactics was made.
Mohawk's defeat is due probably To
lack of good combination playing while
the Hancock forward line apparently
worked like clockwork. Uksila starred
on the Mohawk forward line and for
Hancock Stroud and Rompf were the
best men.

Wolves Reported

''SHS'NS0s
John Locus Of Lac La Belle, ap-
peared before the county clerk this
week with the skin of a largo timber
wolf, which he secured near Deer
Lake. says the Keweenaw Miner.
Mr.. Locus reports that wolves are
destroying a number of deer, the
carcasses of three being found near
the place he secured the wolf. Mr..
Ruonavarra, who trapped n wolf last
week near Tobacco River, also reports
that deer are being destroyed by
wolves in that vicinity The bunch of
deer yarding near that point seem
to be protected by the presence of a
aarge animal supposed to be cow
moose. amongst the herd of deer.
Old hunters claim that the presence
of moose and caribou near deer yards
does more for the protection of deer
than almost anything else. If this be
the case, the people interested in
hunting in this region, should get to-
gether and raise fund for the pur-
chase of some moose, and turn them
loose in Keweenaw county for the
preservation of the deer we have left.
The presence OF moose i'm this
county has been known for the past
