panions, three Russians. Ladinski and
his companions seemed to be on tha best
terms. They were speaking French
when the reporter joined them, but im
mediately changed to English, which all
spoke fluently, Ladinski not having tha
slightest foreign accent. In the course
of the conversation that ensued Mr.
Ladinski good humoredly answered in
terrogations, and in a modest way re
coil nterod some of his adventures, which
a narrative form are about as follows:
John, Count Ladinski, was born in
Warsaw, Poland, in 1830. When six
years old he saw his mother knouted for
refusing to tell of her husband’s where
abouts. Six months after that his father
was captured and shot by order of the
Czar. Shortly after that his mother dis
appeared, ana to this day he does not
know what became of her. When about
seven years of age he found himself home
less and penniless. He was picked up
half starved on the street by a kina-
hearted Jew merchant, who adopted and
took him to St. Petersburg. He re
mained with his adopted father for seven
years, and was given a good education,
the merchant employing a tutor for him
and his two sons.
Ladinski was walking along a quiet
reet one night in St. Petersburg, when
about fifteen yean old, and cama
suddenly on two Russian soldiers who
were beating a Polish Jew peddler be
cause he had refused to give them money.
He became enraged at the sight, and
demanded that they should quit. The
soldiers let the peddler alone, but seized
the boy and were hustling him off to
prison when he drew a knife, killed one
of them, and dangerously wounded the
other.
Realizing what he had done, young
Ladinski stowed away on an English
vessel, and was fortunate enough to es
cape the country. The Captain of the

Cocoanut raising is a growing industry
in Southern Florida. The raisers do not
expect to have any monkeys to throw
down the nuts, but they will rely
American ingenuity to construct appro
priate ladders for the performance of the
necessary duty. In Florida pineapples
and cocoanuts pay very well. Ten thou
sand pineapples can be raised, it Is said,
to an acre, and the same amount of space
will support fifty cocoanut trees,
latter require very little cultivation.
They begin to bear at from nine to twelve
yean of age and produce from eighty
150 nuta to the tree. They bring about
five cents apiece to the grower. Many
groves have been planted within a few
years. One New Jersey gentleman has
830.000 trees.
American wheat growers have cause
feel cheerful over the market prospects.
The present available supply in the Uni*
ted States is 170,000,000 bushels
against 107,000,000 bushels last year at
this time. Of tins amount, 120,000,000
bushels will be required for home con
sumption before next harvest, leaving
only 60,000,000 bushels to export. For
the year ending this August, Great
Britain and Ireland wQl be obliged to im
port 150,000,000 bushels. France has
short wheat crop and will have to import
25,000,000 to 80,000,000 bushels during
the summer. The only influence that
can keep down prices is the fact ofsnun-
usnally large wheat crop in Australia.
The general tendency is toward higher
prices, and no fall is likely to occur dur
ing the next eight months.
Near-sightedness is increasing in
p«ts of the dvilixed world. 8o affirms
Dr. Cohn, of Breslau, who examined
12.000 cases; Dr*. Derby and Loring,
New York, who examined 3,265 cases,

M. D., of Cincinnati, who examined 1,-
79? cases in the schools of Hamilton and
Oxford, Ohio. Defective or abnormal
eyesight is a deformity which the schools
•hould guard against as far as possible.
It is a detriment to success not to have
good eyes, and glasses are inconvenient
for many purposes. Yet we are told by
those whose authority is unquestionable
that those countries whose schools are
the best contain the greatest percentage
of myopic people. Defective light,
l»*>orl7 wanned and poorly ventilated
f'.hool-rooms, and lack of outdoor life,
are .altogether the leading causes of near
sight among children in school.

The Staked Plains of fexas.
J. C. Rathbun writes to the Inter-
Ocean about the Staked Plains of Texas
in this strain: The generally accepted
theory of the origin of the name is that,
in the long ago, as a company of Catho
lic missionaries was crossing this plain
going to Santa Fe, the men stuck stakes
at long intervals by which they might
trace their way back. The Staked Plain
is a gently undulating prairie, covered
with about twenty-five varieties of rich,
nutritious grasses. The grass has the
quality of ripening in fall and preserving
its nutriment, like hay, so that stock fat
ten on it during winter. In fact, stock-
men do not ship their l>eeves till after the
cattle have fed for a few weeks on the
cured grass. The soil is a chocolate col
ored sandy loam, and very productive.
The prairie is covered with a scraggy

a strong liking to the young man and
Brazilian him a commission in the
Tie man-ofwar on which he was went
a cruise to Europe. Ladinski and
several of his brother officers went ashore
one night at Naples to attend a masked
ball. He became separated from his
lions and started alone for the
boat’, and while on his way was knocked
down, bound and gagged, and hurried
aboard a Russian vessel which was in the
bay. He was placed in irons and kejrt in

Of
here he was turned over to the authori-
>8.
After having spent six months in a
dungeon without nearing anything from
the outside world, Mr. Ladinski was taken
before a tribunal, tried for the murder of
the soldier, and sentenced to Siberia for
life. He made the journey to the mines
on foot, with a number of political pris
oners, and remained in the mines for five
years.
Mr. Ladinski seemed adverse to speak
ing about the hardships he underwent
while there, but said that at the end ot
five years he was the only one left out of
twenty-three men who went in with him.
As he had behaved himself so as to win
the respect of the* guards and officers, he
removed from the mine and given a
ieship in a Government warehouse.
While there he conceived the idea of
ruing himself a pardon from the Czar,
ana after a year’s hard work, being
assisted by a daughter of the post com
mander, Col. Tourteloff, he succeeded in
having a free and unconditionable par
don handed to him, and at once made
preparations to leave. By some means
he was well supplied with funds by his
foster father.
He made his way back to St Peters
burg, and was preparing to leave the
country, when he was ponne ed upon by
Russian spies, thrown into jail to re
main until an investigation could be liad,
which, of course, resulted in the daring
forgery becoming known. The Czar,
who evidently had a gr im sense of hu
mor, had the daring y oung Pole brought
before him and questioned him about
himself. The result of the interview was
that his royal highness pardoned Ladin
ski for the murder, but allowed the law
to take its course in regard to the forgery,
the result being that he was again sen
tenced for life in the mines, and started
back to the hell he had schemed so long
to escape from.
When about one month on the roed
Ladinski and a young Russian officer, a
political prisoner, managed to free them
selves of their shackles and escaped. Mr.
Ladinski thinks that he and his com
panion, a Captain Komiakoff, must have
walked 1,000 miles before they felt them
selves safe. They went across the border
of Austria, ana managed to make
their way to England. They remained
in London for a year, when Komiakoff
took a notion to come to the United

Weather Bureau Signals.
The cautionary signals of the weather
bureau are of two kinds: 1. Those pre
monishing dangerous winds to blow
from any direction, and (2.) Those pre-
monishing off-shore winds likely to drive
Vessels out to sea. Both kinds are needed
and nsed on the shore of seas and lakes,
for the guidance of mariners. These
signals arc only used when a wind storm
of at least thirty-five miles an hour is ap
proaching. The first, known distinctive
ly as the “cautionary signal,” is a red
flag with a black square in the center in
the day time and a red light by night.
The second, or cautionary off-shore sig
nal, is a flag with two stripes of black
and white, indicating direction of the
wind by its position with reference to the
cautionary signal always displayed with
it,and also by position of the stripes. That
is. the black stripe is above the white
when northerly winds are expected, and
below for southerly winds, aud the di
rection signal is shown above the cau
tionary signal when easterly winds are
impending and below for westerly winds.
These are fill day time signals; there are
no night signals for wind direction,
though a white light above a red light
by night indicates that while the storm
has not yet passed the station, and dan
gerous winds may yet be felt there, they
will probably be from the north or west.
There is also an on shore wind signal
which is hoisted only on the lakes when
a wind on the water of twenty to thiriy-
five miles an hour may be expected to
blow .on shore, a wind dangerous to
small vessels, barges, and tows. This is
a flag of fooralternate squares of black
and white. In the night time this
is represented by a white light.—Liter-
