Fake Boxing Contests.

The recent Critic Eyerhardt draw at
Buffalo was preceded by drawn con-
test between two less well known box
ers. Attention has been directed to
boxing matches of this character,
Der of drawn decisions rendered has
been large. 1t is a poor way to box,
and the followers of boxing do not get
fair contests when they pay to see two
men boxing to determine the better man.
When two men box 30 rounds and in
that time one fails to show superiority
over the other, it is plain that they are
not boxing honestly. One man is pur-
posely holding off for draw. He has
failed to train and is taking no chances,
or he is resorting to one of dozen sub
terfuges known to fighters. 1t should
be demanded of boxing clubs that their
referees select winner at the end of
every bout, and boxers should be made
to box to win or have their purses with
held. Since a number of foreign fight
ers made their appearance here "a few
years ago fake contests have steadily
increased in number, and during the
past q months the number of suspicious
bouts has been large. Time and again
the public has been hoaxed. Absurdly
false statements have been circulated
by the leading clubs about men in train
ing. When the night arrived for the
bouts, the spectators saw fat and f1abby
principals whose training had consisted
of lifting schooners of beer and indo-
lently using punching bags. Their train
ing was not worthy the name, and their
subsequent performances proved this to
be so. Toward the end of the cold
weather season boxing tournaments were
poorly patronized, and the managers
wondered why, forgetting that they
were directly responsible. They dealt
with boxers and managers who would
sacrifice anything and everything for "a
few dollars. New York Sun.

During this ''sweaty weather" the
dirt will accumulate in the ears of the
little tots old enough to play out of
doors, and it must be remembered that
ear wax is not dirt, and mothers ought
to be very careful in cleaning children s
ears not to gouge out the wax with sharp
pointed instruments. The wax is intend
ed to protect the ear and should not be
disturbed, except that part which has
already worked its way out. Another
thing about ears is that they should not
be pulled and boxed. Perhaps this may
seem the most convenient and convino-
ing mode of punishment when the child
is naughty and the mother is tired and
cross, but it should never be INDUCED
in. Both pulling and boxing may in

There is only one way of saving
chimney out of plumb from collapse if
the bend iucreases-that is, to cut q
slice out of the masonry on the other
side, so that it may sink on that side
and bring itself straight. But that
method, though ef1icacious at times,
often weakens the structure. The only
other alternative is to pull down and
build afresh, and there are two ways of
doing that. One is to pull the chimney
down, stone by stone, beginning at the
top, "a tedious method and a terribly
risky one if the structure be lettering
to it's fall. The other method the writer
has often seen practiced in Lancashire
and Yorkshire. At mill few miles
outside of Manchester, for instance, a
dangerous chimney had to be ''felled"
not long ago, and the contractor started
to cut away the brickwork at the base
on five out of it's eight sides. Once,
thinking it was about to settle on him,
he and his men hurried away, but the
fall did not take place, and they re-
1 turned to work. The gaps were propped
up with timber and the structure sup
] poltSu III thio way iii tiO PioPCi eihO'
Then the wood was soaked with par
ATTN and daubed with rosin and ignited.
The flames and smoke poured up the
chimney with great roar, and the dar-
ing man fingered at the foot for quar-
ter of an hour, feeding the flame at one
point so the wood might collapse there
first and the chimney take that direc-
ton in its fall. AT length the balks
gave way, the chimney tottered, then
leaned over in circular fashion and
finally collapsed in the middle and fell
in heap. The climber told the writer
that he distinctly preferred to bring a
chimney down in that way, for once,
while taking down a shaft in a north
Lancashire district, he heard it groar
and creak and had only time to slip
down the rope and rush away when il
fell. Chambers Journal.
