A Cooling Suggestion A sure method of combating depressive summer heat is offered to Palladium readers for what it is worth in the following cooling recipe: Place a large wicker chair in the center of the room directly underneath the chandelier. In front of the chair place a large tub filled with water and ice. Hang to the chandelier a I large pyramid of ice with the apex pointing down : and just over the back of the chair. Thoroughly soak a sheet in the tub of ice water and lay over the chair. On the piano place an electric fan so directed as to bear on the chair ; in the center of the room. i Place a small table alongside the chair and on ' it lay the following books : Peary's "Farthest

North" and "The North Pole"; Shackelton's

"Antarctic Continent" ; and Amundsen's "North

west Passage" and "The South Pole."

Now, disrobe. Yes, every stitch. Pull down

the curtains to a subdued, half light or, rather, fix the curtains first and then disrobe. Turn on the electric fan. Sit down in the chair on the ice-water soaked sheet and t drape it the aforesaid sheet gracefully about your burning form. Allow your heated thoughts of the weather to escape. Hot anything rises. Consequently the thoughts will rise and shortly and automatically a trickle of cold water will pour off the suspended ice apex on to the back of your neck. Place your feet in" the tub of ice and water in front of you and begin to read passages from the books by the well known arctic and antarctic explorers, You will soon feel almost comfortably cool. P. S. If you don't want to spoil the ceiling of the room beneath you, place all the above suggested paraphernalia in a large, specially constructed pah. P. P. S. If any Palladium reader has a short- ; er and better recipe for inducing coolness in hot weather, fire,' or rather let it skate in to the ' editor for publication. Come on now, be a "bear" and help sweltering humanity by your suggestions.

That "Pesky Fly" Ordinance Apropos the "fly ordinance," Dr. Davis believes that for the present it should be passed up in favor of a campaign of educating public opinion, to arouse the people from their indifference to bringing every force possible to bear on ending the existence of these pestiferous and deadly insects. In some cases we are ready to agree with the good doctor that it is best to let individual initiative deal with certain subjects. Those things which are undeniably centered in the individual himself, should be righted or improved through raising the individual's comprehension or plane of intelligence. Take soup eating or drinking for instance. Some people insist, though thereby they defy all the conventions, on imbibing their soup with noises that vary in intensity between the tornado's screech and the whirr of a rapid fire machine gun. You can't put a maxim silencer on all the noisy soup spoons in the land by legislation. You must depend upon a gradually growing intelligence to bring the individual to the point where soup shall be absorbed with no more noise than that of the twilight wind accompanying the sun on its westward journey each evening. - . Or pea eating. Some perform the wonderful gastronomic feat of eating the little legumes with a knife ! And in this instance a case exists that' shows where individualism leaves off and collective effort takes its place.

A man was sitting in a cafe. His food lay un-

S touched before him. His mouth was agape. He

was staring incredulously as a man at a neighbor-

II ing table transferred knifeful after knifeful of

French peas from a heaping platter to his muffler cut-out. The first man, it was evident, shared the feelings of the old farmer who, on his first visit to the zoo, saw a rhinoceros for the first time in his life. After a long and wondering stare at the strange animal, the old farmer said: "By jing! There ain't no sech critter!" Then, he of the fatal curiosity, was overtaken by his fate. A fly, its sticky feet coveredwith

I typhoid germs, mistook the gaping mouth for

the entrance to a cool retreat in a dark closet, and flew in. Incredulity deepened in the man's eyes. He gasped and the fly was sucked into a dark tunnel. His jaws closed with a snap. He gurgled. Deathly pale, he arose from the table and dashed out and away. In a few days the man developed typhoid fever. Before he was taken to the hospital flies

had spread the fever through an entire neighborhood. At the hospital he raved of flies and peas and knives; and finally died. And his soul was ' Jt V 4.1 -I A T- 1 1 11 " f

several typhoid victims from the neighborhood in which he had lived. ''' Now no law could have successfully prevented the one man from eating peas with his knife, and thus induced the other to stare staring, we grant you, is extremely impolite with mouth wide open. Nor could any enactment of a legislature have succeeded in stopping the starer's staring. Thus far does individualism hold good. The fly, however, that fatal little pest that was destined to murder not only the man with woman's malady, curiosity, but also several of his neighbors, could and should have been prevented through collective effort. If there had been a good fly ordinance with good officers to attend to its rigid enforcement, there would have been no fly to carry about on its sticky feet the deadly germs of typhoid. True, the man who contracted typhoid from the fly probably was one of those who most roundly denounce the expense of such preventive measures as fly ordinances. But he did not realize that fate ironically had marked him to learn at first hand of the terrible sufferings of the typhoid victim; and to die as an example. After he had typhoid, he unavailingly spent the pound of cure and wished the community had spent pounds on fly prevention. And the town in which this poor mortal lived and died probably boasted a mayor who was perennially running for office. Now that is another very good means of preventing preventive measures. You see, such perennial candidates are so busy looking after their political fences that they are afraid to take the possibly unpopular course of supporting such measures as fly ordinances. Screening outhouses, garbage cans, manure boxes, etc., is comparatively expensive. Certain citizens, most narrowly, want to avoid such cost. The perennial candidate, anxious for their votes, anticipates their selfish wishes and defeats the fly ordinance; does it quickly if election day, particularly, is not very far off. The moral is obvious. The ounce of prevention is better than the pound of cure. And perennial candidates go to seed so badly in the long run that they become as bad as weeds. And weeds either must be destroyed or they will ruin the fine field.

OVERDONE DEMOCRACY

From the Chicago Tribune.

Jefferson himself overdid the part of being democratic,

particularly with the British ambassador. Merry, who had the touchiness of an English green grocer in a tall hat and who had a wife now gently referred to as "disagreeable."

At a state dinner Jefferson gave a woman his arm, but otherwise there was no order. The guests approached the table in a ruck as if the dinner bell had been rung in an old fashioned American hotel. , Merry did not run fast enough, or he was too fat, or he was too dignified, and found himself seated where a British ambassador could only writhe. He made a report of It to his government, and the

next time Monroe, the American then in London, was in

vited to a state dinner he was seated next to the kitchen,

but unfortunately within hearing of some loud conversation at the head of the table, where the culture of the United States was being compared with that of South Africa.

Monrie not only made a report to his government but

he laid a complaint before the British ministry, and just at a time when the two nations were In need of all the serenity they could command they became irritated over table manners.

Simplicity sometimes is much involved.

AT GETTYSBURG

And what they once deemed deadly wrongs Where Pickett's dreadful charge was made, The birds are singing peaceful songs; The passion by which men were swayed There once, to no man now belongs; The blue and gray in friendly throngs Assemble where they fought before And what they once deemed deadly wrongs They look upon as wrongs no more. They greet each other, hand in hand, Who clashed as bitter foemen there. For God has let them understand. And friendship that is fond and fair Has come to them who mingled where The rain of death and terror fell, Where once they madly tried to tear A passage through the gates Qf hell. They halt where once the soil was red And lift their banners side by side, And if they march with feeble tread Their hearts are filled with worthy pride. The victors to be thus allied With those who bravely met defeat. The vanquished that they may abide, Where blue and gray as brothers meet. S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald.

"Yes, but I don't believe such a thing ever happened," said the safe man, "and if it did it was in years gone by, and the art of building safes has been greatly improved since that time. We have now got it down to perfection. Why, our own experts, who know just how our safes, and vaults are built, can not open thm outside of the regular way. One can neither hear nor feel the ratchet in any good combination. No; I am perfectly willing to put up that $5,000 without the slightest fear that I will lose It. The manager of the "Alias Jimmy Valentine" company was discussing the feat performed by Valentine. His posiUon was sustained by an officer of a national bank, who also declared that It was an impossibility to open a safe with modern combination by the sense of touch. "I wouldn't want to' qualify as an expert," said he modestly, "but I have

discussed the details of modern safe construction considerably with men who are experts, 'and I give it as my opinion that it would, be impossible to open any good combination by the sense of touch, such as the Yale lock for instance. Of course there have been, and even now are, some poorly constructed combinations, and I wouldn't want to say that it would be impossible to open one of these in the manner you speak of. How-
