LAW REQUIRED BULL BAITING

Belief at One Time Prevalied in Eng proved Quality of Beef.

As looked at in England, aithough bull baiting was a cruel pastime, it was also a fulfiiling of the law, for formerly no butcher was allowed teo offer for sale the flesh of any bull that had not been balted, the Brookiyn Eagle remarks. The goading of the bull with doge until its fury was aroused was supposed to have some influence on the flesh. In a similar bellef the flesh of a hunted hare was thought superior in flavor to one that bhad not been and the present of a “hunted hare” was considered to be a special compliment. In the records of the corporation of Lelcester, England, the following orders appear to have been issued at a common hall beld on Thursday before St. Simon and St Jude, 1467: “No butcher to kill a bull tll bated.” At Winchester it was or dered “that henceforth there shall be no bulstake set before the mayor's door to bayte any bull, but oanly In bulirings iu sald cytie.” The practice formerly was very popular {a England and among those who at a later period patronized bull baiting were Windham and Parr, and even Canning and Peel opposed the passage of the law that abolished the bull-balting. :

JANITOR HAD SAME OPINION

His Own Case Clinched Argument Concerning the Need of Wisdom in Selecting Stenographers.

A young city principal took lunch with two young business men the other day. They were discussing their Stenographers. She listened a while and then sald jokingly, “Why, I honestly belleve you men would be more particular in choosing your stenographers than you would in choosing wives.” : “Of tourse,” retorted one laughingly. “A man can’t be too particular in choosing his stenographer. Doesn’t ‘he spend more of his waking hours with her than with his wife?” That afternoon she repeated the conversation to some of her teachers. The Janitor was listening and he immediately “butted Into” the group. *“Now, you see here, Miss T———" he sald earnestly, “that young feller was right, after all. Take you and me, for instance. The superintendent wanted me to change buildings and I wouldn't, I want a good principal at my bullding, for I'm In her company lots more than I am ever with my wife.”

' © In_the Qallery. The late William Dean Hewells, in the days when he was a magazine editer in New York, liked te visit the Bohemian low-priced theaters, and when he went to the opera he always sat In the gallery. “In the galler;,” he sald one day, “the people listen to the music intensely. They don't laugh and chatter as they do downstairs. In the gullery, too, they keep their seats till the performance is ever. Downstairs they put en their wraps and leave in the midst ef the glorious final climax.” . Mr. Howells chuckled. . “The theater,” he added, *“is lke the human body. The brains are ak ways at the top.” :

The Belle of the Bout

Elinor Glyn, the novelist, was taking tea on the Mauretania with a diplomat when a marvelously pretty girl passed amid a group of adoring young men. - : : The diplomat nodded towards the pretty girl and said dryly: “I'm afraid she’s got a swelled head. She doesn’t bellieve in hiding her light under a bushel” At this point the young girl threw herself into her deck chalr, crossing her knees in such a manner as te display a very considerable expanse of silk stocking. ' “Ner her ankles under her skirt” sald Mrs. Glyn. : :

Dangerous to Beast.

Little Eleanor vehemently announced her intention of giving up her French lessons with her governess. Her father, however, was very anxious that the child should learn French and did not intend to humor her. ' “She hugs and kisses me to make me do my lessons |—and—ugh !—I do hate lessons!” cried the little girl. “See here, my dear,” returned her father in a reasoning, diplomatic way, “I have read French with your govesness ever since she has been here, and she has never tried to hug and kiss me.” > “Father,” observed the child gravely, “you'd better knock wood.”

SCENERY BIG PART OF PLAY

Modern Theatrical Preductions Evi dently Depend a Great Deal on the Stage Settings.

“The Beggar's Opera” is now being presented in New York with the company that was gathered for the London revival, and settings which also crossed the ocean. It was not that it was cheaper to bring the scenery ever, but simply because it would have been impossible to duplicate the original sets without doing a great deal of eighteenth century research work that would mean going over-the same ground that had been carefully covered by the London designer. The situation is hardly a parallel to that of “Her Own Way,” the Clyde Fitch comedy which could not be played for several days after the date set for the London epening because the scenery had been put on a steamer other than that taken by the company. Fitch had written this play with Intricate though unobtrusive scenfc effects constantly in thought. The result was that, broadly speaking, the special scenery for this play actually did some of the acting. , ’

Twe negro men were discussing the eloquence of a certain member of the faculty of an educational Institution for negroes In the Southern states. ~ “That Professor Biggs sure does like to use high-soundin’ words, don't he?” asked one of them. ' “Maybe dat’s jest an affection on his part,” said the other darkey. “Some folks do like to put on airs in talkin’.” . “No; I don’t figger it out dat way,” sald the other. *“I kinda thinks he uses them bdig words because he's afraid dat if people knew what he was talkin’ about they'd know he didn’t know what he was talkin' about."—Harper's Magazine, ‘

Origin of “Gob.”

A eide-light was thrown upon the word “gob” by the Scotsman of August 4, 1880, which sald that when a meeting of the coastguard takes place the men Indulge in protracted yaruns, & draw of the pipe, and a friendly chew. Such a session is invariably ‘preductive of a considerable amount of good-natured banter, as well as free expectoration all around, wherefrom our friends came to be known as “gobbles” (frem “gob,” the mouth). In the process of time gob and gobble came to be applied to. the ships manned by the gobs.
