The Chinchll2.

The tiny c~hinchilla, not more than 10
inches long, with "a plump little body ON
short, stout legs, thrives only in the
tropics. New York's supply of chinchil-
la skins comes from Peru and Venezuela
chiefly. The little beasts have to be
killed with the utmost precaution not to
lnjure their fur, that grows on a skin
nearly as tender and soft as a web of
silk. They + not common animals nor
abundant in their South American
haunts, 90 that a perfect chinchilla skin
when IL arrives, customs paid, in the
port OF New York, easily fetches $40 or
$12 for its hands breadth of fur. To
keep In good condition the delicate pelt
and the making mp of small bits into
the large barrel shaped muffs and circu-
lar cape collars worn this season easily
make Q chinchilla wrap more costly
than errnine or sable. A perfect skin,
not larger than q small pocket handker-
chief, isa revelation in fur growth. The
texture Of avery hair is finer than floss
Eilk, the length OF it nearly an inch and
the coioring about that of the soft un-
dyed marabout feathers. -New York

All Sorts Of Systems Have Hsen In Uss
81 From Time ImmemOrtaI.
The art of rendering artificial aid to
the memory by associating in the mind
things difficult to remember with those
which are easy Of recollection is said to
have originated with the Egyptians
The FIRST person to redule it to a system
wa, according to Cicero, the poet ST.
monides, who lived 500 B. G. His
plan III known as the topical or locality
plan and was In substance as follows:
Choose q large house, with q number Of
differently furnished apartments in it
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that 10 noticeable in the house, SO that
the mind can readily go over the parts.
Then place d series Of ideas in the house
the first in the hall, the next in the
sitting room, and so ON with the rest.
Now, when one wishes to recall these
ideas in their proper succession, COM
mence going through the house, and the
idea placed in each department will be
found TO readily recur to the mind in
connection with it.
liz Is related that the mnemOnic plan
was hrst suggested to the poet by a
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from q banquet just before the roof of
the house fell and crushed all the rest
OF the company, he found on returning
that the bodies were so mutilated that
no individual could be recognized, but by
remembering the places which they had
severally occupied at the table he was
able TO identify them. He was thus led
to notice that the order of places may
by association suggest the order of
philadelphia Press.

ANOTHER SURPRISE
The State WithdraWs It's OBJ
jections to Miss WachteT's
Testimony.
EXPECTS TO OlsPRoVE II
The Attempt to Prove an Alibl
For Harry Hayward 4
Progresses.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. l9.-Theo state
sprung a surprise in the Hayward muir
der trial, when it withdrew all opposi.
ton to the introduction of Maggie
Wachter's testimony. Miss Wachter IL
the stenographer Of Blixt's attorney,
who was TO testify that Blixt had stated
to his attorney in her presence that 1T
was with Adry and not with Harry that
he had conspired to murder Miss Cling.
The court had held that it was q COM
m~unication between client and attorney
and was therefore inadmissible. There
had been the greatest interest awakened
among lawyers generally, and Mr.. Err
win received d telegram from w. D.
Frazee at Okolona, Miss, citing three
decisions as to the point. The court was
unwilling to admit the testimony with.
ont the direct consent of Blixt, and the
murderer wa brought from the jail and
questioned personally by Judge Smith.
He had no objection, he said, and Miss
Wachter was called. It then developed
that she was sick and could not be pres
emit at this time. The sudden change of
front ON the part OF the state is said to
be due TO it's ability to impeach Miss
Wachter's evidence absolutely. Blixt's
attorney will go on the stand and COM
tradict it, and it ID also understood that
the state has ascertained from a conf
dant Of Miss Wachtef " the true In
wardness of the evidence.
Thonaas waterman's Testimony.
Thomas Waterman was called to tes-
tify as to Harry Hayward's movements
ON Dec. 8, the day of the murder. He
contradicted Adry Hayward i'm several
important particulars as to time. Three
boarders at Harry Hayward's boarding
house testified that he was i'm the dining
as late as ITO that evening, which
brings him dangerously close to the time
when Liyeryman Wilson claims to have
seen him driving with Miss Cling, half
q mile away. The defense expects TO
establish o complete alibi for the de-
PENDANT from l until 1880 p. m. the day
of the murder.

State Crop Conditions.

The past week has been very favor
able for farm work throughout the
entire state. Good showers have been
we'll distributed and lave improved
prospects very materially. Wheat seed
ing is finished in some places and it is
probable that with favorable weather
this week, it will be finished everywhere.
Grain that was sown first is up in most
sections and has healthy oappearance.
Grass is up high enough for stock to
feed on. Less wheat, and much more
corn and flax is being planted than ever
before. The wind storm of Sunday the
14th, was one of the most severe ever ex-
perienced in the state, and did consider
able damage by blowing plowed ground
and seeded land. In the southern and
eastern part of the state the air was SO
filed with dust that objects could not be
seen at distance OF few rods.
