Mime. Modje.ka's Strange Visitor.

From the New York World, 18th.
A young lady, yet in her teens, called upon
Nine. Modjeska yesterday at the Clarendon Hotel
and urgently requested an audience. saying that
she had credentials from Polish friends Of the
Chlapowski family the family of Nine. Mod
jeska's husband). Nine. Modjeska received her
and found this statement to he untrue The
girl admitted that it was only subterfuge to
procure an audience. but at the same time adj
mitted that she had something important to
disclose, and would only do SO to Nine. Modeska
(who was then with her maids in private. Nine.
MOdjeska dismissed her attendants and listened
to the young girls story. She said that she
knew that Count Bozenta, Nine. Modjeska's
husband, was connected with a nihilist plot,
and that he had accepted dangerous mission
that would lead to almost certain DEATH and
was about to depart to Europe to execute it,
and that she being herself heart and soul in the
movement. and having no one to regret her
death, she had come to offer her services and
save Madames husband. With great tact and
Celicacy Nine. Modjeska talked TO the girl. and
at lest sent her away fully convinced that Rus
sian freedom was not suffering on account Of
her inaction Count Bozenta is stopping with
his wife at the Clarendon.

GREAT ARRAY OF TOYS.
The superintendent led the way to the sample
room of the factory, and showed the reporter
specimens of all the different toys manufac-
tured. On one wall were suspended samples of
horses and animals of every kind under variety
of conditions. The smallest horse stood about
three inches and the largest eighteen. Dexter.
the great pacing horse, appeared to be the
favorite model upon which the larger specimens
were constructed. The figure with two feet in
the air and apparently flying through space
must have stirring effect ON the fancy of a
boy. The average sized horse was about eight
inches and retails at ten and fifteen cents Some
were mounted by gayly painted riders, male and
female. Some were siung between parallel
bars within hoop Of tin. Then there were ell
ephants tigers, lions. goats, cames. sheep. &C.,

which on being spun played melody lasting
fully five minutes. The wagon department
offered endless variety. Tiny wagons FIVE inches
long with two wheels and one horse were nu-
merOus and were said to retail at FIVE cents
ard those fancifully decorated at ten cents.
There were butcher boys wagons, express and

Alter other amusing scenes had been repre-
sented In the same manner, one Of the subjects
was called up, and the professor ran pins into
mis- cheek without calling forth twitch of pain.
The professor then explained that, under the
influence of the mesmerc SPELL surgical opera
tions could be performed without pain. He
desired a physician, if there was one in the au-
dence. to come On the stage and ATTEMPT to
run needle through the subjects cheek. Upon

turned about, jumped off the stage, and made
his way out Of the theater as fast as his legs
would carry him. The professor thrust his
hand out towards the rapidly retreating
figure, and threw a mesmeric lasso after
him but failed to bring him back The pro-
fessOr said afterwards that he failed to stop the
fugitive because he could not catch his eve.
The reason the boy ran was he said because.

WINTER SPORT.
For the closing scene, pan of -four was
brought upon the stage When the subjects
opened their eyes this pan Of flour was con-
verted into a snowbank. Several of the male
subjects were seized with and acted upon an
impulse to wash one another's faces in the snow
They rushed forward, grabbed up the -four by
the handful, IN a most reckless manner, and
were soon covered with it from head to foot; a
sight which caused uproarious laughter among
the audience and great CONSERVATION on the
stage. when the spell was broken by tho snap OF
the professors finger. The curtain rolled down.
the theater was emptied with the suddelness
that always characterizes variety thcaters. and
soon no one was left on the stage but some OF
the subjects, who were endeavoring to remove
the -four from their hair and clothing.

for the same service There were IS affIdavits
used as the basis Of orders and 10 of these bore
such evidences OF erasures and alterations that
no man would accept them. They should ask
the jury on such evidence In connection. of
course with other testimony TO say that the acts
of Brady were those of a corrupt Official For
the Increase of number OF trips there was no
affidavit required. Referring to the affidayits
Of Miner on the Bismarck and Fort Keogh route
he said that, by Miners statement as to the
original service, each horse was required to
travel % miles a lay, while his statement as to
number required for the expedited required
each horse to travel but miles day. By such
affidayits this route. originally let at - $50 was
run up TO over $4,000 n year. On the Pueblo
and ROsita route on the original schedule every
horse was required TO run 1913 miles. while the
affidavit as to the number required by the expe-
dited service required them to run but 9-lO0
miles day. He was taking the statements of
the contractors az TO the number of horses they
said would he required. He examined several
OF the routes in this way, showing

Brady had before him at the time he made these

ub-cOntracts on file, showing just what the
service rendered actually did cost the contractor
Brady actually put into his orders that only frag

The majority of our farmers take u
great deal of pains to dress their crops in
the hill and to place the fertilizer imme-
diately beneath the plants. This is not
so necessary as il may seem at first
glance.
The roots of the food plants do not by
any means penetrate the ground vertical
ly downwards. as farmers appear to think
when they fertilize in the hill. Examin-
ations have shown that corn plants when
only three or four weeks old and five
inches high have already thrown
out roots on each side foot from tie
base of the stakes, that is. they stand in
the centre of radiating circle of roots
wO feet in diameter. Beans of the same
age and height have extended their fibers
foot and half. or made circle three
feet in diameter. The eopiously branch
ing roots of corn one foot in height occu-
py the whole area of the ground, although
the plants have not attained one-sixth of
their height. The small fibrous roots of
the potato are found extended over the
whole area before the tubers are
formed These facts concusively show
how ridiculous is the practice of hilling
up potatoes so universal among farmers,
who. with the mistaken idea that the mel
low earth will materially assist the growth
of the roots as far as they go. heap up the
earth around the stalks. But the result is
almost directly contrary. The hilling
process buries to an unusual depth a short
portion near the stalk. while the mass Of
nourisbing roots at a greater distance are
laid bare to dry and parch beneath a swell
tering sun.

had employed some of the most noted doc
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,

When Shall a Child Begin School?

Children vary greatly as to the age at which
they can BEGIN to bear restraint on the free
dom OF their movements and strain upon
their attention and memory. Mill may have
begun Greek at four. but Hunter did NOS
know his alphabet at seven. The one thing
certain is that any stndy or any attendance at
school before the child can bear it without
effort or fatigue Is not only useless but hurt
ful. and will surely retard the education and
lessen the future vigor and capacity Of mind.
