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 to the boy and with a £5 note He managed with his foster of money to a made of silk and cambric, requires three thousand yards of sewing, and Is to lie coated with a preparation of the best The Ohio, mouument at Cleveland, t be completed for two years more. The exterior will reach completion this summer, but itwilltaks a long time to perfect the Interior decor ations. The body of President Garfield will remain in the receiving vault of the cemetery until the monument is com pleted. The dedication ceremonies will not take place inside of two years, arrangements have yet l>cen made for that event and the question as to who the orators will be has not been ronsid- ered. *" 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, find Professor Anderson N. Ellis, A. M., 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. now American citizens.

WORDS OF WISDOM. bral courage is the rarest of qualities, and often maligned. life is too short to be spent in mind ing other people’s business. The seeds of oar pulshment are sown at the time we commit the sin. Faith steps in to our aid when our boasted reason and knowledge fail. The sympathy of sorrow is stronger than the sympathy of prosperity. life is a quarry o at of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a char acter. Labor disgraces no man; unfortunate ly you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.

All mankind are happier for having been happy, so that, if you make them happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it.

Learn from the earliest days to inure your principles against the perils of ridi cule; you can no more exercise your rea son if you live in the constant dread of laughter, than you can enjoy your life if you are in the constant terror of death. 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. R. BENNETT. (Near Grand Central Hotel) WATCROSS, O-A..

Hi. benefactor took j ^“d'iTth'eP^nh.ndlTof Tm'm 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 Western Nebraska, Kansas, and Eastern Colorado, the rains on the Staked Plain irreg ular, too much so to make it an exclu sively agricultural section. But stock farming can be and is carried on success fully. Au iuexaustible supply of water is found at a depth of from fifteen to seventy-five feet. At Midland it is at about forty feet. The Texas and Pa cific Railway crossed the plains in 1881, and there are now three growing towns the Staked Plain—Marienfeld, started in 1882, Midland in 1884, and Odessi 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 FANCY AND FAMILY GROCERIES.

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- HOT WEATHER SUITS.
