STICKS AND STONES
CANBERRA,
Australia is in line with the Italian Chamber of Deputies in having a lot of injurious epithets barred in debate.
The Australian House of Representatives in Canberra lias a long list of words and phrases ruled out of order in the course of years. Examples:—A sausage skin filled with wind and water and painted like a Chinese god, jabbering nincompoop, jackal, blood-drinker, miserable bodysnatcher, cowardly dirty fool, sewer rat, fraud, brute, bully, cad, bounder, gasbag, impostor, Minister’s lapdog, mongrel, party hack, slippery eel, sneak — or “my winey friend.”— Reuter,
