Joke On The Blind Pigs.

Deputy Sheriff Tom Thackeray of
Hudson, while in Canton recently was
invited by Rev. Evans of the Congre-
gational church, to enjoy the hospi-
tality of the Minister'S home, which
Mr.. Thackeray did. Toms visit
brought to light the fact that Rev.
Evans needed a new chicken house
which Tom said he would build. Tom
went down to Hudson and returned
with tools to do the work with. He
was in Canton three or four days,
and as Tom is a noted blind pig catch
er, the umo got in circulation that
Tom was up here to take in Canton'S
blind pigs, and then things moved
fast. The blind pigs got their eyes
open and concluded there vas danger
abe d. The joints were closed tight
and the owners became gentlemen of
leisure. The biggest part of the joke
comes on Tom, because he went home
after building Mr.. Evans chicken
house, without knowing how badly he
scared the boys. Now we are told
the joints have closed until after
election. TCm ought to come up to
Canton often. His name is a terror
to those who violate the law. Don't
some other preacher want d chicken
house built?

THE sAIs OF EGYPT.
A Warning Runner Who Bellows
Like a Bull as He Goes.


The sails is a runner who keeps in
front Of a carriage and warns common
people out of the way and who beats
them with stick if they do not hurry
up about it.
1t is obvious that to do this he must
run quickly. Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
their mouths closed in order to save
their wind. The sails runs with his
shoulders thrown back and trumpet
ing Ike an enraged elephant. He holds
bis long wand at his side like mus
ket and rot trailing Il. his hand like a
walking stick, and he wears soft
shirt of white stuff and a sleeveless
coat buried in gold lace.
He is a perfect ideal of color and
movement, and as he runs he bellows
like a bull or rolrs as you have heard
a lion roar at feeding times in a
menagerie.
There are sometimes two Of them
running abreast, dressed exactly alike
and with the upper part of their bodies
as rigid as the wand pressed against
their sides and with the ends of their
scarf and the long tassel streaming
out behind.
AS they yell and below donkeys and
carriages and people scramble out Of
their way until the carriage they pre-
cede has rolled rapidly by. Only
Processes of the royal harem and con-
,1, . %l,o
of occupation and the Egyptian army
are permitted two sails; other people
may have one.

POULTRY RAISING ON FARM.
Baker County Man Sells Wagon Load
of Chickens for $50.


Mr. lanes NJ Barnett, of Barnetts
Mill. Baker county, well known far
mer of this section, was in the city to-
dav with a wagon load of chickens for
the local market. He says that poul-
trv raising as a side line on farm is
a very profitable branch of the indus
try. OF the eighty-fve chickens which
he brought to town Mr.. Barnett sold
fourteen for 40 cents each and sew.
enty-one for So cents each. These
chickens were all raised in his yard,
and he considers them a good pickup.
He expressed the opinion that more of
the farmers of this section would find
poultry raising an easy and profitable
business if they understood better
what good demand there is for
chickens and eggs, and what good
prices they bring in the local market.
Mr.. Barnett is an advocate of the di-
versifed farming idea, and says that
as a consequence of this fact he feels
as though he were more independent
than he would otherwise be. AS proof
of this fact it may be stated that Mr..
Barnett has cotton which he is still
holding from last year, and he is not
to sell his products until he
gets ready, which is generally at the
most opportune times from the stand

A NEW YORK THEATRE IN

DAILY SCENE IN OPERATING
ROOM OF A HOSPITAL.

There is a theater in New Yorl
which regularly, day after day, at
tracts audiences made up of learned
men who come from the four corners
of the globe. You will not find Its
name listed in the theater bulletin al
any hotel, yet its fame is worldwide
The theater is always crowded when
ever a performance is on, for, as
rule. each drama is different from the
preceding one; and each is realistic
beyond anything ever portrayed by
the masters of dramatic art. The
chief performer is invariably a distln-
guished artist and it is in his work
that the interest Of the audience cen
ters. Oftentimes his wonderful skill
and scarcely less wonderful self-con-
trojan all-important feature of his
art-result in what might truly be
termed a miracle play.

Worlds For Explorers.

NOTWITHSTANDING the rapid advance
of exploration in various parts of the
globe a recent estimate by a member
of the American Geographical society
shows that 10 less than 20,OO0,OOO
square miles of the earth's surface yet
remains unexplored, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The largest unexplored
area is in Africa, 100000 square
miles, but even North America con
tains 100000 square miles of virgin
territory. 1t is surprising to learn that
there Is three times as much land
awaiting the foot of the pioneer in
North America as in South America.

The scene might be described as
bare. On the stage is only such furni-
ture as will positively be needed. The
only colors on the scene are the dress
of the assistant nurse and the green,
violet and copper-shaded bottles in a
glass cabinet on one side Of the stage,
which, as the sunlight coming through
the glass roof strikes them, throw
brilliant shadows upon the cleaning
white floor.
At last the star performer enters,
and as he crosses the stage there is a
slight murmur, which corresponds to
the applause of the audience in an
ordinary theater. For a moment he
retires behind the scenes to have his
hands sterilized and his costume put
on. When he reappeaG5 he is wearing
what looks like priests robe and a
bit of headgear which, many-colored
as a Scotchman's bonnet, might in
other circumstances be described as
dashing.
Now all is ready for the perform
ance. The door at the side of the
stage opening in the direction of the
hospital is thrown back and the sub
ject of the drama is wheeled in I'M
conscious and placed upon the table
near which the picturesquely CARRIED
surgeon is standing. With that, each
spectator in the seats above leans
forward in his anxiety to catch every
word and every motion of the chief
actor. Then comes the prologue. The
surgeon recites the history OF the
trouble that laid the patient low, and
then outlines his course of action.

For the theater is the celebrated
one connected with the Post Gradu-
ate Medical School and Hospital. The
leading actor is some skilled and cour-
ageous surgeon. The audience is com
posed of doctors, old and young, ma
tives and foreigners, all gathered for
the single purpose of perfecting their
knowledge of the science Of saving hui
man lives. The subject of the drama
is usually some patient such as the
medical fraternity in this country ac-
knowledges can be found, excepting
now and then, only in the metropolis;
for here in New York are millions OF
all sorts and conditions of men. Here
are quarters each with its own dis
tinctive army of foreigners-an ltal-
ian quarter as large as a seaport on
the Mediterranean, Jewish quarter
like another Kishinef, Greek quar-
Ter. hardly less impressive than Ath-
ems itself: and in these various quar-
tiers disease takes on curious forms
The Post Graduate Hospital, where
special attention is paid to the most
difficult and battling cases, is conse-
quentIy a sort of composite institution
suggestive of all the European cen
tiers: and that is what makes the
school the Mecca of advanced students
of medicine and surgery.

that may descend from the gallery.

The next person to arrive on the
scene is the head nurse. Her duties
preliminary to the opening of the
drama consist chiefly in selecting from
cabinet behind the scenes, which
belongs to the surgeon who is soon to
appear, the instruments to be used
during the operation. These are ster-
ilized, wrapped in sterilized napkin
and placed in a sterilized tray.
Now it is almost time for the drama
to open, and the audience begins to
gather Some of those in attendance
come from a clinic or lecture and 9th
ers from a demonstration in one of
the wards of the hospital. They take
their seats with a solemnity that be-
fits the occasion. Once the doors are
opened, the seats are quickly filled.
The portion of the theater set apart
for the audience is semi-circular. The
rows of seats incline sharply from
height of little above the stage to

Of this school the most consplcu-
Gus feature is the operating theater.
AS in an ordinary theater, work on the
stage begins before the audience is
seated. First of all, an orderly washes
the marble walls of the pit and the
tiled floor of the stage itself, for the
scene of the drama about to be en-
acted must be as speckless as human
hands can make it. Then the nurse,
who plays the role of sponge-wringer
"a quiet, prepossessing young woman
attired in blue, whose particular duty
it is to look out for the sponges and
tampons-appears on The stage. For
the space of five minutes she does
nothing but wash her hands and her
arms and then for three min6tes more
she immerses them in a solution OF
bichIoride of mercury After that she
is prepared to play her part Her
arms and hands are absolutely free
from germs and she must take care
not to touch any unsterilized Object
until the performance is over.
