ear piercing IN p ortnga and Italy,
and very frequently in France, c1il-
dren usually have their ears r creed
at an early age. Many men n the
South retain their earrings after
reaching manhood, Cardinal MeZzo-
fanti, famous for his powers as a lin
gust, is. said by his bicgrapher to
have worn them from infancy as a
preventive against an Affection of The
eyes to which he had been subjected.
The popular notion that piercing
the ear exercises beneficial II f1u-
ence upon the optic nerve is very
widespread. An English traveller of
little more than q century ago noticed
that many men in Vienna wore ear
rings, and was told they were worn a
good deal for the eyes-"the hole in

on the eyes just as FIRMLY as their
like III Italy and elsewhere abroad.
In fact, in some places ear piercing
is regarded by the rust;cs as a rem
edy for many troubles. At the other
side of the world boys have their
ears pierced from different motive
A writer on Chinese superst:tions
says that John Cninanan perces his
little boys ears and makes him wear
earrings, for if an evil spirit happens
