which appears greater and more aston
ishng the more experience one gains in
appendicotomy.
The author quotes Metchnikoffs sugges-
ton that the appendix is useful in stav-
ing off or postponing the degeneracy OF
old age. Keetley urges in all favorable
cases transportation instead of amputa-
ton.
He says: IAN appendix transplanted
into the abdominal wall need not be used
for an appendicostomy at the time. but it
is there if it ever should be wanted"
He quotes two cases of perforative ap-
pendicitis which were merely trivial, as
the appendices were securely inlbedded in
the abdominal walls. ,

SWANSON PROUD OF GIFT.
Inmates Of Home at Norfolk Send
Cash for Italian Sufferers.

Special Dispatch to Tie Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 2.-Nineteen
boys, inmates of the Peter Turney Home
for Boys in Norfolk. today forwarded to
Gov. Swanson $7.27 for the sufferers in
Italy. The boys range in age from six to
fourteen years. The money had been
given to them during the holidays and
represented all that they had saved from
Christmas for buying fireworks for New
Year day. Hearing of the disaster the
little fellows went to the matron and
told her that they wanted to give what
they had. The matron received the money
and gave it to a lawyer, who sent the
check to the governor.
Gov. Swanson was delighted on receipt
of the check and at once wrote a letter
acknowledging the gift, declaring that he
was proud to know that the boys had
made the sacrifice, and congratulated
them on their self-denial. He expressed
the wish that he might have the pleasure
of meeting them when he visited Norfolk
The check was at once forwarded to New
York for transmission to Italy.

Not Aceordina to Program.

Owing to the extreme diversity in the makeup of vaudeville bill, in which a dramatic playlet may be pre- ceded by a black face act and followed by baboon who walks the tight rope, many are the amusing incidents that occur during performances. When William Hawtrey and his company were acting a melOdramtic sketch en- titled Compromised" at the Colonial theater, the act following on the bill was a troupe of trained elephants. One night, at the climax in the action of the playlet. when Hawtrey, in the role of a rascally husband, was abusing his wife, one of the elephants began to trumpet loudly behind the scenes The audience began to litter. but Hawtrey, trained by experience to cope with such a situation, cried out at the top of his voice: "Our child is crying!" and the audience relished its laugh far more than it would have enjoyed the unin- teIrupted dramatic moment.
 Marie Dressles, according to a story she tells on herself, while appearing in vaudeville. was once similarly followed on the bill by trick elephant known as "Tessie." She was No. Ton the bill and the elephant was No. 8. On Mon day afternoon when Miss Dressler flounced out upon the stage to do her turn, she was nonplussed at the ex- ceptionaI wave of laughter that con vulsed the audience. She had expect ed that her 300-pound self in q baby frock would induce considerable au- dible smiling, but the prolonged hearti- ness of her reception frankly puzzled her She glanced down to see whether anything was wrong with her costume, but nothing was. She ran her eyes over the audience, but there was noth- ing unusual to be seen there. Then her glance fell on the placard at the left of the stage announcing her act and she realized at once the reason for all the laughter. The boy had made mistake in the sequence of the acts and had heralded the weighty Miss Dress les as "Tessie, the worlds greatest elephantP-F'rom "The Ten Command ments of Vaudeville" in the July Bo- hemian.

swing and go takes the audience from the start, carries it through to the last finale and brings a return the next night.
 The music was better last evening both in chorus work and in the pit. King Shuetzen Fest" finale for the first act was great. Mrs. Gabble and chorus in, T Want to Meet Man so Bad,' was the best of the evening. Corrine Carkeek has the best voice of the company and knows how to deliver it. Nan Halperin scored her hit last night in the grand finale. When You Smile" in Mans own petite way.
 William F'riedlander came through better in Neintz Pickleheimer than on Sunday night and played up to Cash Knight, his secretary. Mae Stead has a quiet way that attracts and will no doubt develop into something stronger in a production where she can have better hold on the reins. Raymond Teal in the OliO brought the house down again and again in his coIored monologue. He has been here before and Phoenix knows that he handles his line as a head liner.

 Cucumber Sandwiches
 Are made after the same method. The cucumbers should be small and sliced very thin, and should be drain ed dry after they have soaked ten minutes in iced water. Mayonnaise or French dressing may be used for these sandwiches.
 Cheese and Nut Sandwiches
 Take equal parts grated cheese and English walnuts pounded to a meal Moisten with sweet cream or olive oil, season with salt, and spread be- tween thin slices of buttered bread.

The points we have to look after in planting entrants are: CD Form and growth of the bush; (2) size of the berry and quantity borne by each bush; (3) flavor of the berry In 1907 and 1908 1 made carefully com pared data on these points. White grape will yield on a mature bush from four to six quarts. White Dutch
 will yield from three to four quarts;
 Red Dutch the same or better. Fay
 will average four quarts, and some times touch five; while Versailles, a currant very similar to Fay, will do about the same. London Market, handsome in the bush, will rarely yield over four quarts. Victoria and Prince Albert will not do as well. My own seeding, Red Giant, went as high as six and seven. Rarely White Grape reached the figure of Red Giant. These two stand at the front in prolific bearing with fruit of about the same size and very nearly equal quality. In form of bush and growth they are once more close rivals. l place them emphatically at the head of all entrants that I have tested. Red Giant, however, is a stouter bush. standing from five to seven feet high, and having a very perfect spread of it's limbs.-E. P. Powell, in The Outing Magazine for July

 mixed with butter seasonings and French or Mayonnaise dressing Chicken made into a paste, mixed with the mashed yolks of hard boiled eggs with milk or cream, and a little butter and seasoned with salt and pepper and a few drops of onion juice. makes a delicious sandwich.
 Fish Sandwiches.
 Anchovies, sardines or any fresh boiled fish pounded to a paste with white or other sauce. or with mayonnaise. with little chopped pickle added, or shad roe seasoned in the same way, make excellent sand wiches.
 Egg Sandwiches.
 Hard boiled eggs, cut into slices, sprinkled with salt and pepper and spread on buttered bread with chop ped parsley or sliced egg between lettuce leaves with mayonnaise, or hard boiled eggs chopped fine with white sauce placed between layers of buttered bread are all good.
 Spanish Sandwiches.
 Spread buttered graham bread with mustard, then with a layer of cottage cheese. then with chopped olives spread with mayonnaise.
 Raw Beef Sandwiches
 Scrape the raw beef. spread it be- tween thin slices of plain bread, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place sandwiches on 8 toaster and put over coals until heated, serve hot.
 Brown Bread Sandwiches.
 Flake one cupful of cold boiled salmon, and mix it to a paste with one tablespoonful of mayonnaise dressing, adding a more than ordinary portion of salt and cayenne pepper if you like q rather sharp seasoning. Cut Boston brown bread in thin slices and spread with fish, adding thin slices of cucumber that have been allowed to soak for a short time in iced water salted and made acid with vinegar.
 Press a second thin slice of bread over the first and cut in pointed sec tions like a pie. Garnish the dish with sprigs of parsley.
 Lettuce Sandwiches.
 Select nice, tender, crisp lettuce. wash and dry wlel, and make up just before serving. Butter bread on the loaf, slice thin and insert lettuce be- tween the two pieces, adding a little dressing, cream cheese, nuts or other salad material for flavor as desired. The plain lettuce
