Rear Baiting In olden Days.

So popular was bull batting in olden
days in England that riots followed
the attempt to suppress it in the large
towns. Bear batting was more popular
still, if that could be. In various places,
Liverpool especially, it made part OF
the festivities at the election Of the
mayor. being held before his worship
started for church. Ladies commonly
attended in great numbers. There was
a famous bear at Liverpool. which
showed such grand sport il 1852 that
certain fair admirers presented it with
q garland. decked it with ribbons and
carried it to the theater. where q spe-
cial entertainment had been com
manded." which Bruin sat out in the
front of their box. But Of gossip about
bull and beer batting there is no end.
Enthusiastic lovers Of Shakespeare
read with interest the petition Of the
royal bear warden. addressed TO Queen
Elizabeth in 1895. complaining that his
licensed performances had been neg
lected of late because every one went
to the theater.

Bathing and Nose Blowing.

s. number Of people come home from
the seaside quite deaf. and very many
if not deaf. are much harder OF hearing
than when they left home. The cause
of this, is blowing the nose after bath
inc.
OF course one blows his nose because
there IS some salt water in it. Which
makes him uncomfortable. This water
he forces into the little eustachian tube
that runs from behind the nose to the
ear. Here the water remains for days.
and the particles Of salt set up infam-
nation. The next step is that the eu-
stachian tube gets blocked and remains
more CT less so permanently. causing
partial deafness.
You should always wait sonie time
after your bath before blowing your
nose. and then YOU should do it gently.
