ENGLAND HAD BULL FIGHTS
Queens Mary and Elizabeth Enjoyed
Them, and Also Bear
Batting.

Bullfghting, which Is declining In
favor with the Spaniards, was once a
popular sport In England, though in a
somewhat different form. 1t has only
been forbidden by law within the last
hundred years.
The bull was tied to a stake, after
having the points of its horns protect
ed. Fierce dogs were let loose on II,
and a terrific battle would ensue. Bull
dogs were bred specially for the sport.
Their peculiar jaws gave a grip so
strong that the bull could not throw
off its attackers once their teeth had
met in its shoulder.
Bear-baiting. too, was popular at one
time. Both Queen Mary and Queen
Elizabeth were fond of bear-baitings
and bullfights. Great men kept rings"
and there was one in nearly every
place of amusement. "Bankside" was
a noted place for the sport" in Lon
don. The charge for admission was a
penny to enter, another penny to go In
the grand stand" and a third penny
for the equivalent of reserved seats.
Thursdays and Sundays were the IA
vorite days for batting bears and bulls.
AT one time the theaters were ordered
to close down on the former day so
that competition should not interfere
with the baitlngs.-LondOn Tit-Bits.

WILD TURKEY LIKES TO SAIL
Uses Wings More Than ls Supposed
Volpanes Down Mountain Slope
at Express Train Speed.

Wild turkeys use their wings more
than is supposed; for going to and COM
ing from the rOost; when disturbed;
often to come together from consider
able distances; when changing their
feeding grounds, and sometimes they
will fly into tall trees apparently just
to spy out the land. In mountainous
country turkeys do a good deal of sail
ing down long slopes. This wild vol
planning is a most beautiful and impress.
sive flight downward and the rush of
the wind through these makes a sound
like a bowling shrapnel. The speed is
terrific, and it is checked by the birds
gracefully swerving to one side ere
they come to ground. On several Occa-
sions l have attempted to time such
flight, having the birds in full view and
knowing approximately the distance
covered. Unless my estimate was
wholly wrong, turkeys can vOlplane
shade over a minute and a half. An.
other fly Of about three miles, includ.
ing a dip to a distant ridge, seemed to
be made in three minutes fiat. But
such speed. under the circumstances
is not extraordinary when we remem
Der that a green-winged teal, along a
straight river reach, has heen timed al
130 miles an hour. The speed Of wild
things is at least one insurance policy
they carry against determination.
The case of the wild turkey is excit
ing in its promise Here is a grea
bird for long in many states on th'
verge of extinction, now coming bacl
in all his regal stateliness Nor is tn,
mere killing Of him the only sport tina
his return affords. His presence ono
more in our forests invests them witt
the spirit Of primeval wildness that NJ
man wishes this country ever wholly &
lose.-Arehibald Rutledge, in the Ney

Gargling.

With SO many scientific lotions for

with so much known about the teeth

any one should have a bad breath. II
this trouble is chronic it may take
YOU a long time to get rid Of it, and
YOU will probably have to go through
a strict course of diet and purgatives.

Needless to say, Mrs. Wheeler is a
skillful cook. She is also 4 devotee
Of athletics, being an enthusiastic
hiker and mountain climber. The
Wheelers have Summer cottage in

Buying the Bath Rug.

No doubt you have, in some luxu
rious hotel or at the home Of d fas-
tidious friend, known absolute per-
fection in a bathroom rug or mat.
But do you consider what the quail
ties were which made that rug such
happy choice for its purpose
when you buy your own?
The bathroom rug has function
quito different from that of all the
other rugs in the house. Yet many
women continue to buy just any rug

ROOM
To know tho joys of a perfect bath
room rug. consider. first of all. its
texture. a hard, harsh finished rug
where one with soft, high pile gives
one a grateful sense of luxury and
comfort.
The ideal bathroom rug must be
absorbent. and that means. again
that 1t must have 4 soft pile; for a
plain, smooth-surfaced cloth can
never be very absorptive. That is
why so many excellent bathroom
rugs and mats are made of terry
cloth, or, as it is more popularls
known, "Turkish towelinE." This
cloth,t with its pile surface in the
form OF loops. usually on both sides
OF the material. is strong, serviceable
absorptive and fairly warm, in com
parison with other cotton materials
But it is suitable for the bath rug
only when extremely thick and
heavy.

HOW TT STARTED
"Saltcellar.'
RY JEAN NEWTON.

Strange are the ways of language.
Here We have another Of those words
that one uses every day without a
thought as to its origin or its ap-
propriateness to the Significance
which it is intended to convey.
"Saltcellar" has been called on ety.
moloEical curiosity because literally
it describes a salt saltholder." The
fact is that it is a corruption of the
French word for saltho1der which is
''saliere" 1t is easily comprchensi-
BILE how through the similarity OF
sound this should have become eel
lar in English. But by prefixing the
word salt one is using IL really twice!
