Truly memorable events come but infre-
quently--often only once in a lifetime. The
farewell appearance Of Nine. Helene Mod
jeska is such an event To sit under the
spell Of the art and personality Of this splendid
actress even under ordinary conditions is a
delight and privilege But the interest in
this, her farewell tour, is proved by the differ.
ent cities along her route wing with one an
other 10 make their testimonials TO her OF the
warmest nature possible. Her travels thus
far have been series Of oyaiions, expressing
affection and appreciation. Modjeska retires
while at the height Of her powers. She never
acted with more sincerity. charm, conviction
and intelligence than she is doing this year.
Modjeska is one Of those grand figures Of
the stage, like Edwin Booth, Charlotte Cush-
man, Ellen Terry, Mary Anderson and Henry
Irving, whose intellect, purpose, achievement
and life raised acting into the realm Of the
fine arts and established the theatre as one Of
the permanent and powerful institutions Of
modern life. The measure Of her greatness
is equal 10 the measure Of regret at her near
ing retirement and the measure Of eagerness
to see her in her final retirement

MIstakes in Measuring Ace.

Age is not question of years but
of experience and of the effect there
of on the body, brain or heart. a man
may be odd" at 80 or young at 20.
The fact of measuring age in years
leads to dismal consequences. one
who counts his years becomes the
victim of a dreadful autosuggestion.
He thinks that he should begin to de.
cline at 20. and not from any in
herent reason. So he proceeds TO de.
cline. His vigor is Slapped by date.
Perhaps it would be well to abolish
all records of births and never allow
anyone to know his own age in years.

Professional Secrecy.

The question of medical mans
obligation of secrecy has again arisen
in the striking case at the Gironde
(France) assizes In 1868 two Janzac
doctors called to attend sick per-
son, suspected 1t to be case of
criminal poisoning. They believed
that they knew the guilty person, but
hesitated to denounce him. They con-
suited their confrores, who said. "A
crime discovered by us In the exer.
else of our art becomes a profession
al secert" This theory, however, is
not universally held.

To Drive Away MosauItoes.

Where there is great affection from
mosquitoes the following remedy may
be appreciated: Put some insect pow
der on a coarse plate. Put the plate
on an inverted tin pan in the center
OF the room. Set fire to the insect
powder, then close the door and open
all the windows. The smoke will send
outdoors adj the mosquitoes and also
flies. The household authority who
gives this advice does not state
whether II would drive human beings
away also; but after the air is clear
the mosquitoes will not return and
human beings can occupy the room
unmolested.

COMING HORSE SHOW.

Polo Club to Have One in Elm City
Park in June.
The fact that the New Haven Polo
club has decided to have horse show
is awakening much interest. The show
will be given on the grounds of the
club at Elm City park on the after
moons of June and Z. Tt is believed
that there will be a good entry list and
the show will be appreciated and pa.
tronized by the public. The classes will
be similar to those of the Taconic Polo
club.
Particular stress will be laid by the
committee of the horse show on the
encouragement Of showing horses suit
able for local use. Horse show condi-
ton, high action and appointments, all
of which are required in the big shows
around the horse show circuit, win not
be required, as it sthe desire af the
committee to encourage the entering of
horses used for everyday purposes, and
not especially trained for the show ringo
