AS THE ROMANS SAW 1T.


A Classic Performance In the Old Thea
ter At Orange.
OF scenery, in the ordinary sense Of
the word, there was none at all What
we saw was the real thing. In the open
ing scene Of "Gdipus, the king, COM
ing forward through the royal portal
and across the raised platform in the
rear Of the stage, did literally center
from the palace" and did descend the
palace steps" to the public place"
where Creon and the priests awaited
him. It was direct reversal Of the Or
binary effect in the ordinary theater,
where the play loses in realism because
current Of necessarily appreciated but
purposely rejected antagonistic fact I'M
derruns the conventional illusion and
compels us to perceive that the palace
is but painted canvas, and even ON the
largest stage only four or five times as
high as the prince. The palace at Or
ange, towering up as though it would
touch the very heavens and obviously
Of veritable stone, was most peremp-
tory reality.
The fOrtuitous accessory Of the trees
growing close beside the stage added to
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch Of realism, and this was
heightened by the sWd9 ~ uai1a1|o1
es, and by the gracious motion Of the
draperies, under the fitful pressure Of
the strong gusts Of wind. Indeed the
mistral took very telling part in the
performance. Players less perfect in
their art would have been disconnected
by it, but these Of the Coincide Franchise
were quick to perceive and to utilize its
artistic possibilities In the very midst
Of the solemn denunciation Of QIdipus
by Tiresias, the long white beard of the
blind prophet suddenly was blown up
ward so that his face was hidden and
his utterance choked by it, and the mo.
mentary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and calmly freed his face from
this chance covering, made dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to it a
naturalness which wildly intensified it's
solemn import. In like manner the final
entry Of Gdipus, coming from the pal
ace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real For moment, as he
camo upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself - his
CHASTITY eyesockets, his blood stained
face-was visible, and then a gust Of
wind lifted his mantle and flung it about
his head so that all was concealed, and
an exquisite pity for him was aroused
while he struggled painfully to rid him
self Of the incumbrance-by the imposi-
ton Of this petty annoyance upon his
mortal agony of body and Of soul

A writer in the Northwestern Lumber
man, of Chicago, claims to have discov.
cred the reason for the decentralization in
the shingle business to be the Pacific coast
scalper, that is the man who sells grocer
ceries or machinery and takes his pay in
shingles. He keeps the mill man in a
good humor by offering five or ten cents
more than the regular price, and then
puts the shingles on the market at ten
cents below, and still makes money be-
cause Of the high pric. received for his
groceries or machinery. The sooner the
single mill man can get out from under
such conditions and stand on his own
feet the better for all.

HUGE SAWDUST PILE.
1t Stands Near the Center of Cheboygan.
Mich.

M1Cn.
Situated nearly in the center of Che
boygan, Mich, just across the river from
the main street, is pile of sawdust which
IS. without doubt, the largest pile of saw
dust in the world. 1t is nearly 800 feet
long, about 600 in width, from 20 to 90
feet in height and contains about 30,0OO,-
900 cubic feet.
There is enough sawdust in the pile
to stuff all the dolls in the world make
all the three-ring circuses for many sea-
sons or pack all the ice north of the
Ohio river. If the sawdust could be
moved over to the lake shore, west of
Mackinaw City, and thrown upon the
ice, which is piled up 40 to so feet high
on the shore, there would be an icehouse
large enough to supply nearly the whole
state for a season.
The huge sawdust pile is the property Of
the Macarthur Bros, the well-known lum-
Der men. They have water power and DO
not use fuel, and several winters they
tried to get rid of the pile by big bon
fire. From so to 100 barrels of kerosene
were poured on the pile and then ignited
The fire usually burned all winter and
filled the town with smoke. Finally the
city council passed an ordinance that no
more sawdust could be burned in the city,
except in regular refuse burners.
The saWdust is q nuisance in the dry
months of the summer, blowing across
the river and down the streets on windy
days and filling ones eyes if one dares to
omen them

two days later to meet his foreman at

sheep and lambs, which had been driven
Overland nearly 100 miles. "Shep" was
the name of the rangers dog, but the

his corn crop came out well. though it
