COMPANY AT BREAKFAST.
A Surprise Party That Startled a
Bride In India.

Bride In India.
81 was married in india" says a
writer in the Contra Costa Gazette,
land rented little house fourteen
miles or so from any other habita-
ton of white men. The morning my
wife and | arrived the servants laid
breakfast on the veranda overlooking
the river. At the clatter of the plates
there began to come down from the
big tree that overshadowed the house
and up the tree that grew in the ravine
behind it, from the house roof itself.
from everywhere, multitude Of sol
emn monkeys.
''They came up singly and in couples
and in families and took their places
without noise or fuss on the veranda
and sat there like an audience waiting
for an entertainment to begin. And
when the breakfast was all laid and
the monkeys were all seated went in
to call my wife.
Breakfast is ready, and they are
all waitingP l said.
"'Who are waitingT she asked in
dismay. i thought we were going to
be alone, and | was just coming out in
my dressing gown
Never mind l said. The people
about here are not fashionably dressed.
They wear pretty much the same
things all the year round
And so my wife came out. Imagine
her establishment In the middle of
the veranda stood our breakfast table.
and all the rest of the space, as well as
the ratings and the steps, was covered
with an immense company Of monkeys,
as grave as possible and as notion
less and silent as if they were stuffed
Only their eyes kept blinking and their
little round ears kept twitching My
wife laughed heartily-at which the
monkeys only looked all the graver-
and sat down.
"'Will they eat anything?' she asked.
"'Try Them | said.
$50 she picked up biscuit and threw
1t among the company Three hun
dred monkeys jumped into the air like
one, and for an instant there was
riot that defies description. The next
moment every monkey was sitting in
its place as solemn as if it had never
moved Only their eyes winked and
their ears twitched.
MY wife threw them another bis
cult, and the riot broke out again. Then
she threw them another and another
and another. But at last we had given
away all that we had to give and got
up to go. The monkeys at once rose
and, advancing gravely to the steps,
walked down them in a solemn pro-
cession and dispersed for the days oc-
cupationS."

swinburne Used Profanity often.

Swinburne would have suffered bad
ly if the thirty shilling swearing tax
had been enforced against him. He
lived at the British hotel in Cockspur
street and never went anywhere ex-
cept in hansoms, which, whatever the
distance, he invariably remunerated
with shilling When he drove two
miles beyond the radius there was the
devils own row. But in the matter Of
imprecation the poet was more than a
match for cabby who after five min
utes of it would drive off as though he
had been rated by Beelzebub himself.

There is a queer twist Of language In
the phrase ito eat humble pie" The
word humble" is a corrupted form of
the original humble" which is an in
edible part of the carcass of a deer and
would make very poor pie, The words
humble pie" have the same original
meaning as ito eat crow" phrase
common in political life There is an
enforced humility in this process, and
the change from humble" to humble"
introduced a thought which harmonized
with the idea sought to be expressed.
The last form of the phrase has en-
tirely supplanted the original.

WHY WE DETEST PARASITES
Justified, for They Are Carriers
CT Disease.

The feeling of instructive revulsion
against parasites of all kinds which
characterizes humanity generally, and
which is due to something much more
than the mere pain or annoyance that
their bites might infict, become more
interesting IS further discoveries show
the role of insects in the spread of
disease.
Unfortunately this natural abhor-
renee has not been enough to protect
man under conditions of poverty and
uncleanliness from harboring such par
asites, and now those who understand
how much more than a mere personal
annoyance is in question from the ex-
istence Of parasites must take up the
problem to eradicate them.
The possibility of the bedbug con-
yeying relapsing fever. typhoid and
leprosy has been suggested and ap-
parently there is no parasite of man
that may not be a mode. of disease
conveyance. Flies, f1eas, mosquitoes
and bugs not only are all under suS.
picion, but most of them are also
actually demonstrated as ordinary and
frequent conveyors of diseases of va
rious kinds.
Health authorities must now take
up the problem of getting rid of in
sect parasites in order to stamp out
disease. = From the Journal of the
American Medical Association.

NOT ALL SLANG BAD
University Instructor De-
cIares Slang has Its Part
in Children's Life.
MAKES CHILDREN ORIGINAL

That not all slang phrases used by
children should be prohibited by teach
ers, for some Of the most effective, in
teresting and telling expressions in the
English language today had their orr
gin as slang phrases, and many Of the
so-called slang words Of today will be
considered entirely correct and proper
by the next, is the position taken by
Prof M. V. O'Shea, of the department
Of education Of the University of Wis
consin, in new book entitled EVERY
day Problems In Teaching
"When the minister urges his flock
to hit straight from the shoulder, in
dealing with their besetting sins,
writes DR.. O'Shea, he is using slang,
of course, but he is also making his ex-
preston go to the mark. Now, take
person so conventionalized, if such
one could be found in the world, who
would decline to use the expression be-
cause it was vulgarism; what effect
would he have on the sinners in the
pews in front of him?"
Ones language ought to be in &C
cord with the rest of his personality.
Prof. 0 Shea maintains, and although
teachers and ministers and other Gull
tured people in the community are ex-
pected to observe language conventions
and not indulge to any great extent in
slang expressions, still they should not
prohibit the use of slang by younger
people. The only kind Of slang that
should never be countenanced is that
which is in bad taste and violates the
proprieties Of speech. To allow grow
| ing boys and girls to use phrases which,
while not countenanced by language
purists, give vividness and virility to
their talk, is to cultivate originality
and resourcefulness in children. In
youth the aim is always to be fresh and
original. There is danger in this plas-
ITCHY but progress is always secured by
taking risks. People who never take
any chances never go ahead very fast.
Therefore, the best thing parents can
do for children is to develop in them
an appreciation Of good taste in Ian
guage, which will enable them to avoid
slang phrases emanating from low
sources, but still to display originality
in their expressions.

MILK INSPECTION is NO FUN
Incident Showing How Hard 1t Is to
Force Sanitary Rules on Dirty
People.

The trials and tribulations of a milk
inspector trying Go force insanitary
people to live according to sanitary
rules are shown in the issue of the
Healthologist, the official organ of
the Milwaukee health department.
The story follows:
A Milwaukee milk inspector during
a farm inspection, came upon g. place
hopelessly filthy, disorderly and run
down. A motherly person with a big
heart, but firm and weird convictions,
listened to the young mans sugges-
tions. Then looking over her spec
tacles pityingly, she said:
boy, my mother was ninety-seven
years old when she died. She was
dirtier than l am, and lived in
dirtier house and drank dirtier milk.
II she could stand it l guess there
amt no reason why 1 and the city
folks that get milk from this farm
can't stand it too
And not being able to answer that
argument, the milk inspector left her
kindly withal, but yet voicing her
indignation over them there new
tangled idees of cleanliness"

AYEA STILL FIGHTS
Man Accused of Shooting
O'Hare Not Discourag-
ed by Evidence.
REFUSES TO REVEAL DEFENSE

Notwithstanding the fact that Ernest
E. Alyea was bound over to the circuit
court to await trial on charges of at
tempting to murder Chief Of Police
O Hare, the defendant is still defiant
and as he was being led away from the
court on Wednesday afternoon, he de
-clared that he was in no way discour-
aged with the outlook and that when
the case came to trial he would be able
to prove his innocence. Alyea will
make no effort to secure the $4,000
bonds demanded by the court and he is
back in jail awaiting trial, and it is
not probable that the case will get to
the circuit court until some time late in
September. Alyea and his wife held a
long conference Wednesday night, and
at the end of the conference Mrs. Al
yea left for her home in Wheaton, H.,
to remain until che time set for the
trial. 1t is given out that the relatives
of Alyea will provide plenty of funds
for his defense.
Alyea was bitter toward A. S. Tay-
Tor, the Wanetah, Indiana farmer, who
proved to be the principal witness for
the state in the preliminary hearing on
Wednesday, and he declared in i'm
passioned words, pretty well punctu-
ated with oaths, that Taylor had been
camping on his trail for long time.
He refused to make statement of
his charges against Taylor, but he
declared that the Wanetah man had
railroaded him to the penitentiary in
Indiana and that he had promised to
come to Kenosha and help send him to
prison for the Kenosha charge. Sheriff
Anstiss of LaPorte county, who came
to Kenosha to appear as witness for
the state declared "Alyea is one of the
cleverest men that ever faced jury.
He is resourceful and his experience
in criminal affairs has made him wise
to all the legal loop holes of escape. He
has been studying law while he was in
the state prison and he has a lot of
things up his sleeve to pull in the
present fight for his liberty"
There were number of witnesses
for the defense in Kenosha for the
preliminary hearing but the evidence

The new park commission has GER
tainly taken novel way to settle the
controversy over the grades on Lake
avenue but letting the people interested
vote directly on the question should
be satisfactory way of settling the
present difficulty. 1t certainly relieves
the commission of any responsibility in
the matter except that of seeing that
the balloting in the election is con
the square {" And it will be difficult
for the property ownts to find any
reasonable excuse for opposing the
plan. The majority is supposed to rule
on Lake avenue as elsewhere and it is
certainly better from every standpoint
to get some definite decision in the
matter as soon as possible. Many prop
erty owners are anxious to go ahead
with improvements on their holdings
but they cannot move until the grade
question is disposed Of.

LIGHTNING Loss BIG
Report of State Fire Mar

PROSECUTE FIVE ARSON CASES

Out of total Of 23S Wisconsin fires

Purtell in May, So were caused by
lightning and the total damage from
such fires was $149,655 The insurance
on the buildings burned reached $141,-

In Minnesota last year there were 145
fires from lightning, entailing a loss
of $l4l ,346, but the state fire marshal s
department, according to State Fire
Marshal G. E. Keller, did not receive
a single report of building struck by
lightning that was properly rodded.

month was $428,965 and the insurance
thereon $714,79 Next to lightning.

Three fires were caused by incubator
lamps. Five arson cases were prose
cuted by the department. In three Of
these the defendants were bound over
for trial, fourth was sent to the re-
forrnatory for two years, and in the
fifth case the complaint was dismissed
although the evidence of guilt was
very damaging.
During the month the department
conducted seventeen Investigations in

IF the laws or the state governing
the sale and use Of dangerous explos-
ives on the Fourth are to be enforced
in Kenosha the police might get in pras-
tice for that duty by shutting down on
the premature celebration which has
been going on more or less violently
in. all sections of the city for the past
two or three days. If it is to be I'M
lawful to use cannon crackers on the
Fourth it should be unlawful to use
them before or after that date. There
has been a great deal of celebrating
which could have been suppressed cas-
lily enough on disturbance charge in
the police court.

Under the new rules for the protec-
ton of life on vessels navigating
waters wholly under the jurisdiction of
the United States, enough boats or
RATS must be carried to provide room
for every person aboard. Excursion
boats on lakes, bays and sounds are to
be allowed to have only enough boats
or RATS for 80 per cent of those aboard
between May Is and Sept. 10, and
those which when in service are at all
times within five miles Of shore and
over waters not deep enough to sub
merge entirely the vessel may have
only enough for 10 per cent of the pas
sengers and crew.
These regulations are said to be the
strictest that can be made by the gov
eminent officials under existing laws.
New laws, based on the Titanic disas-
ter, are pending in Congress. The
theory in permitting excursion boats on
the lakes to have only 80 per cent of
the capacity needed in the event of the
vessel s sinking is that life preseryers
will keep afoat the 70 per cent not SO
provided for until they are rescued.
A crowded excursion boat, it is true,
in the event Of a severe fire or collision,
might go down so suddenly as to cause
by suction the loss of many lives de-
spite the existence aboard of enough
life preservers for everybody, or the
survivors might be quickly chilled and
drown, though they foated. But the
regulations are deemed drastic enough.

was so entirely against Alyea that
there was no use for these people tax
ing the stand 1t was evident follow
ing the testimony of Taylor that Alyea
would be held fo- trial and fer this
reason the attorey for the defendant
refused to make bare his defense at
the preliminary hearing. It is declared
that Alyea has an elaborate abb pro-
weed, but Chief O'Hare, who is taking
something of a personal interest in the
case, declares that he will be able to
set at naught any alibi that the prison
er may offer in the circuit court. At
the hearing ON Wednesday afternoon, a
half dozen witnesses took the stand
aud identified Alyea as the man who
had shot O Hare. The prisoner took
great hope from the fact that several
of the witnesses declared that they
would not swear that Alyea and Mar
tin Becker were one and the same per-
son. However, the Identification of the
man was so strong that it is not
thought that it would leave a shadow
of doubt in the minds of any jury that
could be secured in the county. Alyea
may seek change of venue when the
case comes up for trial in the circuit
court, holding that Chief O'Hare is so
well known in the county and has been
so active in local affairs that it will be
impossible to secure a jury to act in
the case and decide it on the evidence
alone.
