DEAF MUTES AT THE PLAY.
More of the Unfortunntes Thnn Usual
nt the Thcntrr During the
Past SrnsOn

"One curious phase of the theatric-
been the number of deaf mutcs in the
audiences" said the head usher. of n
New York thcater. ''i'or several
years II good many deaf mutes have
been attending performances of PAN
Dramas. spectacular plays and high
ly spiced mclodramas, but this year
they seem to have declared them
selves in favor of high art, and have
patronized dramas that are short on
action, but long on talk. Deaf mutes
generally attend the theaterd in
party. We havolhaI them come to
our house in winter in squads of 20
or 30. Mute auditors of play al
ways buy good seats. Being deprived
of enjoyment through one of their
senses, they haNefto make up for the
loss by catering to the sense of sight
and they choose seats that give
clear view of the stage. Another
thing noticeable about them is the
enthusiasm with which they applaud
''At first blush il might seem strange
to see so many of the deaf and dumb
focking to the theater. bnt they are
really but little worse of than the av-
erage American who goes to see a play
in foreign tongue. The American
hears, but as he is unable to under
stand two words of the dialogue he
has to depend upon his eyes for his
knowledge of the action. so in that re-
Spect he and the muteS are quits"

Slave Babies in n Sack.
From the Empire Review


In the partition of the human booty
after a successful raid babies are re-
garded as the perquisities of any man
who takes the trouble to pick them
up, and for obvious reasons the object
of the temporary owner is to part with
his spoil as soon as possible. Accord
ingly the babies are seldom carried as
far as the headquarters of the raiding
King, but are disposed of on the way
to private individuals of the poorer
classes, who buy them to rear and
sell again when they have reached a
more valuable age. In this connection
l recall an incident which occurred to
a. raiding column after reaching friend
ly territory on the march homeward.
Meeting the party on the road some
country people hailed the men and in
quired if they had any babies to sell.
Whereupon several large sliplike sacks
We're produced, out of which rolled
black balls of babies clinging together
for all the world like bundles of worms.
The episode had its ludicrous side, but
the country native saw nothing either
appalling or amusing about it. He
merely teased out the wrtihing mass
with his spear butt, and having found
what he wanted, paid for 1t, dropping
the purchase in his ample pocket, and
with an Allah SHE kai ku" (may God
go with YOU'D went on his way.

When the writer was boy the aver
age walking stick was really what it
appeared to be to the unsuspecting eye.
In rare cases the innocent cane may
have covered a more dangerous length
of sharpened steel, but beyond that the
fingers of the inventor did not itch to
add to the mysteries of the modern
walkers helpful, If dumb, companion.
But the generation which has brought
us the telephone, the photograph and
the pictures all alive, oh, has not failed
to make use of odd bits of space in
most astonishing style; from the cheap
and compact little fiat to the handle
of a walking stick space of any sort
OF size is eagerly made use OF.
A visit to a fashionable umbrella
walking stick manufacturer was pro-
ductiVe of much that was interesting
in the evolution of the Malacca cane
of our fore-fathers.
A touch Of a secret spring here and
an unsupported button there trans
formed an ordinary, innocent looking
walking stick into quite variety OF
receptacles containing anything from
a set of tooth picks to whole arsenal
of deadly weapons-from SNUFF box to
a toasting fork.
The blowing Of a little silver whistle
brought into very plain existence, in
deed, a matchbox and cigar cutter,
whilst another handle proved to be
nothing more nor less than a sover-
eign purse, the latter an extraordinar-
ily reckless way of risking golden
coins as valuable walking sticks have
a knack Of being picked up by strang-
ers. anyhow.
Another beautifully chased handle
The Savannah morning news., 1901-09-15

proved to be a veritable smokers COM
panion. When one had finished touch
ing springs and opening sundry lids
and things there appeared a tobacco
or cigarette case, a matchbox, a cigar
cutter and a neat tool for cleaning out
pipes, not to speak of a pocketknife
holder and a nail parer.
The next turned out to be quite a
sensational article--very useful to car
ny when travelling in the regions Of
Hooliganism. 1t was nothing more or
less than a six-chambered revolver,
guaranteed to kill at a distance of fif-
ty PAGES. 1t is certainly a marvel of
ingenuity in construction, for at one
touch the revolver becomes cooked and
ready for brisk work; not only that,
from the center of the circle of muzZles
there springs a deadly looking dag
ger about a foot long and as sharp as
a needle.
A further inspection brought to light
a really useful thing in walking sticks
for a man who has much to do with
horses. 1t is rule, which spreads it
self so to speak, all over the horse for
measurement purposes. When seen out
OF it's case YOU wonder where on earth
II is slowed away There are about ten
Yards of It when fully spread out, and
it is certainly tall enough to measure
the biggest horse that ever stepped.
Just beside this was another cane
that, when touched In a certain way,
became absolutely alive with matches
and the means thereof TO set the same
ailght. Quite a striking present this
would make!
There were a couple Of very pretty
designs in bulldogs heads, fitted In
one case as a matchbox, In the other

Of a perfume squirter. From the back
of the head of the latter hung silver
lever, which operates the thing. But 1t
il is better to let the details of this
ccntrivance remain "wrapt in mystery
lest the demand be too great at Christ
mas or on family birthdays.
Next came an advanced edition of
the old time sword-stick. A sudden pull
of the handle brings a finely tempered
steel rapier into very prominent exist
ence. Not only is the rapier quite up
To date in style, but a pair Of hand

student, who, thus armed, is always

Rout the Reaches which Make

To kill reaches and water bugs: Mix
dry powdered borax with its own
bulk of white sugar and set it in shall
low vessels all about where the crawl
ing pests disport themselves. Renew
the mixture every few days, taxing
care to sweep up and burn all the
dead insects. Paint visible pipes,
and the spaces where they enter the
wall, periodically with a mixture OF
naphtha and turpentine. Let II run
down and around the pipes, especially
hot water pipes, and now and then
pour a spoonful of pure turpentlne
down sinks and traps. Cut irish po-
tatoes in half, dip the cut sides In the
borax and sugar, and lay them about
under sink tubs and closets, indeed IN
any place that offers safe harborage
for reaches. Do this toward evening.
In the morning gather the potatoes
very quickly and drop them into
bucket of boiling water. If insects are
plenty there will likely be from one
to a dozen clining to each piece. This
method is especially recommended for
clearing out green houses in which
reaches once we'll established are the
worst sort of pests.
