WHY THE INTERVIEWER EXISTS,
. Few Reasons to Account for the Popu
laritY of One Form of Journalism.

Few Reasons to Account for the POpu-
larity Of One Form of journalism.
Why 90 persons Of notoriety admit
thu domestic interviewer? Probably a
number OF reasons may be assigned.
The most respectable is indolent good
natures. it is easier to say Eyes" than
no." to have the tiles in your fireplace
described as Persian, and, at the same
time, as the work of an Englishman,
than to keep your drawing room for
your acquaintance. This is the fairest
plea for permitting your person and
furniture to be exhibited to the subur-
ban citizen who, honest man, prob
ably never heard of you and cares very
little about you.
Again the patient may really like be-
ing talked about in public-may enjoy
the idea Of permitting all the world to
know, as Mr.. Allen says, Curious little
details which might be left to your con-
science, your cook and the commission
ers OF inland revenue" 1t Is an odd
taste, but it is possible that "the animals
enjoy it." The interviewed may pre-
tend to complain, but may really re,
joice. The public does not mind it. the
patient is pleased, the interviewer earns
his fee in the way he has been inspired
to choose.
All this may be admitted, but the plea
Of necessity cannot be admitted. Again,
probably many of the patients think an
interview good advertisement. They
are brought before the public notice;
therefore the public will read their books
or buy their pictures. This is a sad mis-.
take. The public which reads interviews
knows nothing about the interviewed
author and his works, cares nothing
about them nor about anything of the
sort. Here is gossip about somebody
whose name / have seen in the papers,
says the reader, so he reads the gossip
but there his interest ends.
The theory of advertisement, of profit
to accrue from little more of persona,
notoriety, is blunder, The public OF
this kind cares to know that an author
squints, weighs 10 stone 10 or has 8
broken nose, or uses a thick handled
pen; but as to what he writes with thai
pen this kind of public is serenely in
| different. Where. then. is the necessity
for admitting the interviewer Neces
sity there is none, but Incidence, vanity
love Of notoriety, are likely to keep the
author of interviews in full employ
ment.
Mr.. Blathwayt has added to his vol
u1ne a defense Of his art, in which h,
says practically that "Zenophon" in
terviewed Socrates" An author whC
talks of "Zenophon" falls little shor
of the universal knowledge which i
seems is necessary for the ideal inter
viewer-London Saturday Review.

prizes for the best story, or picture, or

successful one merely selling his for the

HAD SNAKE IN THE EYE.
A Horse which Afforded Opportunity for
Rare surgical Operation.


A Horse which Afforded Opportunity for
"a Rare surgical Operation.
Fred Graf. butcher of Sheepshead
Bay, N. Y. has for several years used
In his delivery business fine horse
that was as gentle as dog. Some
time ago, however, the horses nature
seemed to change. He became nerv-
GUS and manifested signs of fractious-
ness. 1t was noticed by his owner
that the cause of the change was
some trouble with his right eye, over
which of late slight filin had spread.
which partly obscured the sight
Graf finally took the horse to Veteri-
nary Surgeon William Shepard of
Sheepshead Bay. DR.. Shepard washed
the eye with a lotion. which soon re-
moved the film. Then he was able
to discover the cause OF the trouble
He saw something wriggling rapidly
about in the eyeball. and at once
recognized it as case Of snake-ir-
the eye. q very rare disease in these
latitudes. but more common in hot
countries, especially in India He
had the horse thrown and tied so that
the head was perfectly motionless
First an incision was made in the eye
at the inner angle Into this Was in
serted small silver hook formed on
the plan of button hook. Then
DR.. Shepard had to wait The shank
of the hook filed the incision. while
the hook itself was in the aqueous
humor where the rapidly moving
creature was Finally the doctor
managed to hook the snake. or let it
hook itself near its middle, and then
with dexterous movement he drew
loop of it through the incision.
This loop he seized with a pair of
tweezers In another second he had
the creature out and dropped it into
the hand OF his assistant, DIR. Gray.
The snake was SO active that it was
with difficulty held. 1t still wriggled
and crawled with an amazing rapid
ity. Upon measurement il was found
to be three and one-half inches in
length When dropped into q bottle
of alcohol it quickly died 1t was
perfectly white and looked very much
like a section of coarse cotton spool
thread. 1t was sent to Dick veteri-
may college. Edinburgh. Scotland. of
which DIR. Gray is a graduate DIR.
Shepard said to Sun reporter that
the sight OF the horses eyes might
be lost, as Inflammation had already
set in. and the iris was already badly
injured when he was called in The
technical name Of this disease is
filaria oculi DR.. Shepard said that
in all his experience he had seen only
three cases, and that this was the
first in which he performed the oper-
alton for its relief

Meat and Strength.

Vegetarians say 1t is a popular fall
lacy that meat is needed for strength.
One prominent exponent of the faith
says it is fact that the strongest
animals in the world are vegetarian
and not carnivorous 1t is the ferocity
of the lion rather than his strength
that makes him formidable. An ele-
phant is match for several lions,
and is vegetarian. The animals
with most speed and endurance-the
horse. the reindeer, the antelope and
others-are also vegetarians. Dog
trainers. says this authority, always
feed their trick animals on a strictly
vegetarian diet, and many hunters
do the same thing.

Trick of i. stree. Car spo.,.r.

There is spotter in town who eats
peanuts as an assistance to his mem
ory. He gets on a car with a GER
tain number of peanuts in his pocket,
say fifty, and eats one for every pas
senger that gets aboard. When he
leaves the car he counts the peanuts
he has left, and If he has thirty he
knows there were twenty passengers
on that run One of the boys saw
him counting his peanuts, noticed
that he looked guilty. spoke of it to
some of the conductors, who watched
him and found out his system. 1t
was clever trick, but every artifi-
cial device will soon be found out
The spotter who relies altogether on
his memory is the only one who has
a chance of remaining undetected. =
