The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1894-06-07

During the performance of Cook
& Whitby's circus at this place Jup-
tier, the riding lion, created consider
able excitement by escaping from his
keepers in the menagerie after having
ridden according to program, in the
ring. The regular keeper not being
there the task of transferring the an
imal from the horse to his cage was
undertaken by a perfectly willing,
though over ardent animal
keeper. Jupiter, usually the
mostdocile and we'll behaved ofbrutes,
saw his opportunity for a little fun
and made dash for liberty just at
the time he was supposed to walk
quietly up the running board into his
gilded den; he upset his attendant
and started for the front door, and if
Jupiter has any appreciation for
things humorous he must have been
tickled to death, nearly; there were
none but employees in the menagerie
at the time, and the rapidity with
which some of those mounted poles
and cages was bewildering. Laws of
equilibrium and gravity were alike
defied, and the features of the Giro us
performance fairly surpassed by these
amateurs. The lion, however, was
quickly corralled by the menagerie
superintendent and two stout
hearted assistants, who arrived on
the scene moment after the escape
and Jupiter was replaced in his quar-
tiers having inflicted no further
damage than that of scratching the
volunteer lion tanner so severely that a
physician had to be summo ned tc
stitch and bandage the wound.
Common salt is one of the most
valuable remedial agents the world
contains. Used as a tooth powder,
alone with a little prepared chalk,
it whitens the teeth and makes the
gums hard an rosy. 1t is a good gar
gle for sore throat, and if taken in
time will benefit if not cure diphtheria
and will stop bleeding of the mouth
and in warm water is a good emetic
against several poisons. There is
nothing better for sore feet or hands
than salt and water, and for ordinary
sore eyes, though a painful applica'
ton, will often effect complete cure.
