Mew York Tribune.
Madajne Hodjeeka was ealled am at the
Clarendon hotel bj a Tribune reporter, to
whom ebe spoke in regard to ber performanoo
in other cities. "I came here." she said, "from
Baltimore, where I have been baving a de
lightful time. I enjoyed the society there so
ranch. I have very pleasant recollections of
Chicago and Cincinnati, for in those cities I
met bo many musical and literary people. I
must not forget my visit to Canada. The Ca
nadians were certainly more enthusiastic than
any other people. They spoiled me; so that
when I returned to the States my audiences
seemed cold and unontbusiaetic. But my life
iaa monotonous one, and I don't know of any
thing exciting to tell you."
A messenger having brought Madame Mod-
Ieska a letter, she opened it at once, and,
ireaking off the conversation, said: "Ah, here's
another letter asking for an autograph. They
are so troublesome, these people. I sometimoe
sign a hundred at a time, ana give tbeui to my
maid to distribute when they are called for.
Hut we fool as though we were obliged to do it;
it is a sort of penalty we pay to the audience.
Perhaps we would feel sorry if we didn't get
theue applications for autographs.
"But there's nothing eventful about mo or
my travels through the country. I have had
no railroad accidents, no scandals, no quarrels.
The thing that most interests me just now is
my study of Imogens; I expect to play this
character in my tour here next year. And
also I might add Henry Ibsen's play of 'Thora.'
We've tried very hard to get Sardou'a 'Fedora,'
which Sarah Br ardt ia playing now, but
If iss Davenport has already bought it I hear
there are several versions of it already for the
English stage, but I don't propose to go into
any fight for it I never try to get what any
one else is trying to obtain. I think
Shakespeare's plays are the best of alL I've
Sot my heart on Shakespeare, and so no others
interest me as much. But sometimes I like to
change and play Sardou one night aud Shake
speare the next and so on through the week.
And yet when I go back from Sardou to Shake
speare I kneel down (inwardly, of course) to
Shakespeare. But this life of mine is a tire
some and monotonous one. I like to go to the
opera; but yon see I can't And I like to visit
picture galleries, literary and cultered people,
but I can't very well doit If I visit picture
galleries as I often do I get so tired that I'm
not in good condition for the theatre ia the
evening. I think I'm not an actress only I'm
a woman. 1 want to enjoy life, but this is a
kind of slavery. I want to meet people
socially.
"Next year I will bid farewell to the English
stage. I wanted to go to London to play three
nights in the woek, but I couldn't make such
arrangements. It is the playing every night in
the week that tires me; it's brutalizing, if I
may use a coarse expression, and I shall soon
become an idiot I want to see something be
sides a theatre and learn something else. So
I'm going to leave the English stage, for lean
not stand it When I have finished my tour
here next year I shall go to Poland, Russia.
Oermauy and to many other countries, and
then I shall settle down in my own country,
where I can play three times a week and
have some time for something else. I am go
ing to go through New England when I tin
ish my two weeks' engagement here, and
then my engagement with Mr. Stetson closes.
Then I will go to California. Next year my
husband will be my manager."
The Czarina's Coronation Sfantle.
Chicago Times.
The magnificent mantle which the czarina
will wear at the coming coronation is made of
cloth of gold, borderod with armorial boarings
embroidered in silk and gems. The crown
placed on her head will be the one used at the
coronation of the Empress Catherine II. and
Elizabeth. Its value is estimated at three
millions of rubles, and it is composed of
diamonds, rubies, and a large number of

Orloff diamond, which is said to weigh eight
carats more than the Koh-i-nor. 1 he pro

Joseph Cook on.War.
Boston Letter.
Joseph Cook has. closed this year's series of
Monday lectures with a deficit in the treasury
of 82,500, but the management expects to raiss
the sum by collection. Joseph is as fresh and
fancy free as ever. He has evoluted a plan fox
putting an end to wars and miseries of all
kinds, a plan so simple that Capt BoabdiFs
method of defeating an army is complex beside
it It is merely to have the thousand million
nominal Christians of the world become real
Christians and govern themselves .accordingly.
War he considers a foolish business anyhow,
and quotes approvingly a remark of John
Bright, rather an alleged remark of John
Bright, that no war since William IU. has
been thoroughly justified except that of the
northern states for the abolition of slavery and
the preservation of the union (applause;
which leaves the late G. Washington under th
ban of unjust rebellion and bloodthirs tineas.
A Host Astonish! ng Hall Mtorm.
Hawkinsville (Ga. ) Dispatch.
A correspondent writes that a hail storm
visited the vicinity of Feck, Worth county, Ga..
a few days ago, during which hail stones of all
sizes and shapes imaginable felL - It is said
that a little boy found in his father's yard after
the storm had ceased a hail stone .that resem
bled a wateh in every particular, having a per
fect dial and the ring by which the chain is at
tached, and it was half-past three o'clock by
the hands when the boy picked it up. It is
also stated that another one was found in a
gentleman's yard that had the appearance in
every way of a two-year old bov with a pistol
in his hand, and that the pistol actually fired
off and killed a fine fattening hog that had
sought refuge in a fence corner near by. We
are always glad to get hold of an item of news,
and on the next occasion of this kind we hope
our correspondent, will furnish us with further
details. :
Bales for Trousers,
Philadelphia Press.
The trousers of to-day are as complete aa
institution as can be wished for. There ars
well-contrived recesses for the watch, the pis
tol, the whisky flask, keys, knife, comb, hand
kerchief, pocketbook in short everything
that the most fastidious man oould desire to
have about him. The only thing left for man
to do is to learn how to wear breeches. Tall,
slim men, with spider logs, should wear close,
but not tight-fitting garments. Fat men look
best in tight pantaloons; swells wear stripes;
gamblers, plaids; Quakers, quiet colors: min
isters, plain black cloth ; reporters glory in
broadcloth, much to the disgust of the tailors.
How to Find Out.
It is eetimatod that there are 70,000 dead laws
on the Btatute books of New York, Pennsyl
vania, Massachusetts and Ohio, but the only
way for a stranger to find out the live ones is
to swiDg his hat on some street corner and yell
out that he is from the headwaters of Fighting
creek.

It is merely an apology for a human being,

Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
The vogue of checks and Scotch plaids is
undiminished. The most popular next sum
mer will be Scotch plaids and checks of two
colors, white and black, white and blue, white
and louter, pink and gray, out of which
fresh and pretty costumes will he mabe at most
reasonable prices. Nearly all the dresses for
young girls will be made with round waists
coming down very low over the skirt, which
gives them a very youthful and charming ap
pearance. I know, as a matter of fact, that all
the leading dress-making establishment will
use mountains of faille next summer for their
most stylish costumes. Nor is there any ma
terial which offers a more wonderful gradation
of tints. The palette richest in colors does not
furnish a more complete gamnt of tints, which
pass almost Imperceptibly from the lighter to
the darker shades. The reader may, conse
quently, judge what resources this charming
material presents to fashion Very much the
same may be said of the Ottoman silk, which
is equally supple and soft and which is being
made both plain and broched. The plain pat
terns will be used for skirts, with wide plaits,
the broched for tunics, bodies, Louis XV.
vests, Directoire redgotes and Marie An
toinette just au cor pa I must also call atten
tion to the fact that the present fashions no
longer exclude velvet from the materials em
ployed in summer dresses, but the velvets
used are manufactured expressly for the sea
son, and are very smooth and light moussel
ine velvets. They are plain or figured and
stamped or "oiseless." By this last term is

Jennie June in Demorest'a Monthly.
"I have boon in six boarding-houses," said a
young wife the other day, "and they were all
equally good and equally bad. It was six of
one and half-a-dozen of the other. Nothing
would tempt me to go back into one of them.
They are so inexpressibly dreary; thero is
nothing home-like about them. You must
separate yourself from other occutants to
avoid the gossip and scandal, and then you are
isolated, and treated spitefully and with sus
picion. But Sunday mornings and Christmas
mornings, and other holidays, were the worst
part of it to me, for at home on suchlmornings
there was always an air of preparation and
of festivity. But if anything ever goes very
wrong in a boarding-house, it is sure to be at
a time when you- want it to be particularly
right and nice. So I determined to give up
boarding and persuade my husband to tike a
flat, and I assure you it has done him, as well
as me, an immense amonnt of good already.
Why, you know how fastidious he is ; nothing
would ever induce him to carry the smallest
E a reel, and the other day he actually came
ome with a clock under his arm he did, in
deed a lovely little clock for the mantel in
our room; and instead of going to the club be
goes tinkering about, putting up brackets and
shelves with portieres. Oh, I unsure you he has
developed quite a genius in that direction a
genius I never should have suspected if we
had remained in a boarding-house."
To Prevent M enld en Jellies.
E. Lv L." in The Continent
Noticing a bitter complaint in regard to
mould on jellies, I am moved to suggest relief.
In former years it was as much trouble to me
to cover my jellies as it was to make them. My
plan was to cut numerous circles of paper. The
smaller ones were dipped in brandy and laid
over the surface. Then a larger circle was
immersed in white of egg and drawn tightly
over the cup, bowl or tumbler. The egg pro
duced an air-tight ooveriDp, aud also served as
paste. My husband is a chemist, and one day,
upon observing my tedious proceeding, he
asked me why I did not lay lump of paraffine
on the top of the hot jelly. hii I let it nn-lt and
spread over it The success u as perfect No
mould no brandied paper no paper at all !
If a little doubtful in regard to whether or not
the jelly is sufficiently stiff at the time of plac
ing it in the glasses, the parfiine can be melted
and poured over the cold surface after any
length of time. When the jelly is needed for
use, a knife slipped under the edge will re
move the whole cake, which can be laid away
for service next year. I have followed this
plan for several years, and neither mould nor
sugary surface has molested me.
Seleerins; sriowers for Sprlnx.
Country Gentleman.
If we have not already made selection of the
seeds we wish to plant in the coming warm
spring days, it is best to make all haste now.
We should never attempt more than we can
accomplish; and if we, with limited time, plant
the more delicate varieties, we often leave
them sadly neglected. Those that will thrive
under the most adverse circumstances, and
blossom into perfect beauties with proper cul
tivation, are the best
I am a great lover of the old-fashioned morning-glory.
I have had vines twenty feet in
height, covered each morning with 'hundreds
of blossoms ; white, pink.purple aud lavender,
striped, mottled and blotched bells shook and
danced about in the morning air. The morning-glory
thrives with little care, but given
rich soil and a Bunny spot it amply repays all
care.
Sweet peas are another of my favorites.
They need deep, rich soil, and will begin to
blossom (unless your turkeys find them) in
June, and continue until long after annuals
are killed with frost Phlox drnmmondu is an
special favorite that will amply repay all care
bestowed.
If these were all one could properly care for,
it would be better to have a few fine flowers
than half a dozen beds of straggling ones. A
few crocus bulbs, a narrow border of daisies,
some gorgeous tulips, aud then the roses, give
a supply of bloom from early spring until the
annuals begin to blossom. Speaking of roses,
I wish you could see my roue hedge next June.
There is an unsightly bit of wall on one side of
the yard, and along this there is a narrow but
thick hedge of rosos, completely screening it,
summer and winter. There are no choice va
rities, but they make a beautiful sight while in
bloom.
This the -Style" and That Isn't,
"Ban dom Notes" in Cincinnati Enquirer.
It is not the style to issue formal invitations
for ladies' luncheons.
"Small and early" is the fashionable term for
good old-f asbisned suppers nowadays.
White neck-ties, especially of satin, will be
all the rage among young society gentlemen
this summer.
Invitations to fashionable balls should al
ways be given in the lady's name. That is if
you want to be very stylish.
If yon want to be just right dont use your
spoon in sipping tea or coffee in company. Et
iquette says it ain't the thing.
Graceful movements in dancing are all from
the hip downward, and never ia the knees.
Cut this out and paste it in your new spring
bonnets, young ladies.
If young girls want to do just exactly the
thing in the jewelry way, wear all your bangles
on one arm and all the rings on one finger.
That's the style now.
People who tuck their napkin under their
chin and spread it out are said to be ill-bred.
Maybe they are. but of what use is a napkin if
it is placea on the lap?
Bridegrooms will be delighted to learn thai
etiquette requires the bride should not be
driven to the church in a carriage furnished by
him, but by the bride or her dear papa.
A young lady should never visit a restaurant
after the opera or theatre alone with a male
companion. She should always have a young
lady friend with her, even if it does stick the
young man for IS extra. Etiquette must be

A fresy Wire.
T.e wives of men of sentiment are not always
the most appreciative of women. Jean Paul
represents Siebenkaa aa reading one of his
beautiful imaginings to his wife, who listened
with eyelids cast down and bated breath. As
he closed, the sharer of his joys beamed forth
with, "Don't put on your left stocking to-morrow,
dear; I must mend that hole in it" So,
when Sir Walter and Lady Scott were rambling
about their estate, and came upon some play
ful lambs frisking in a meadow, "Ah," said Sir
Walter, 'tis no wonder that poets from the ear
liest ages have made the lamb the emblem of
Eeace aud Innocence." "They are indeed de
Khtful animals," answered her ladyship,

HE CAME PEOM TEXAS.
A Texas Cattle Buyer With a Peaked
Beard Knew a Iioetle Game.
A Cengressaaaa With An Eye te the
(lain Chaare Adds te His Mtork
of Experience The Mad
Eyed Han's Advice.
DL a Kcllor in Pock's Sun.
The ead-oyed man who sat in tho corner of
the car gazed out of the window, and waved bis
band to a group of children who were standing
in front of ' a small unpain ted school house
The woman with red cheeks and flashing eyos
gathered in the remnants of her lunch and
threw them out just as the train
flew swiftly by he country depot
Then the conductor came into tho car, and
taking the first vacant seat, commenced
to gather his tickets into a bunch, and wondor
what the little ones at home are doing now.
The bumming of the wheels as they passed
swiftly over the rails are monotonous, and not
a little conducive toward bringing sleep. Fifty
miles yet before the train makes a stop. Some
settle down to a nap, some take out their
lunches and begin to eat, and some read. The
door opens a tall, weather-beaten man with a
long peaked beard hanging from his chin ea
ters. -He is, as he looks a Texan. There is
that air about him that tells a close ob
server that he has been brought up among
settle, wUd, far-reaohing plains and open air.
In front of the sad-eyed man in the corner is a
portly, well-dressed congressman on bis way
borne from Washington. The man with a
peaked beard spies the vacant seat by the con
gressman's side, and straightway planks him
self down
"Gobi' hum?" he asks.
The other turns a pair of astonished eyes on
the questioner.
"Coin" hum?"
"Yes," replied the congressman, ourtly.
"So'm L I'm from Texas."
"Isee."
"Oh, yer noen my sign, did yer? " I'm not
'shamed to give my bum name. I'm Brown
from Texas I've bin up'n St Louis selhn
cattle an' horses an' I made a heap o' money.
While I war thar, I lamed bow ter play a
leetle game called three keard monte. I got
cleaned out'n seven hundred dollars fust pop.
If yer'd like ter sea how they done it I'll just
show er," said the man from Texas.
"Anything to pass away the time," said the
congressman.
"All right, har they be; a Jack, Ace and
Three o' Diamonds. They throw 'em so," and
the man from Texas threw the cards clumsily
upon the cushion between the two.
"Ther trick are, ter pick out ther ace. Kin
yer do it? By jingo, yer did. Now if I could
done that, I'd won nut I didn't pick out the
keard, and so I lost yer see. Her she goes
agin' no sonny, I haint got no change to give
ter yer mother who's got ter git out at the f urst
station, cause she's broke. See har boy
if yer goin ter cry well take hur;
it's a ten, all I got small," and . the sad-eyed
man sitting behind the pair leaned back in bis
seat again and began to hum "There is a better
land."
"Now let's see if you can pick out the ace,"
said the Texan, turning to the congressman,
who had already told the little pale-faced boy
who was begging, to begone.
"Easy enough. . It's that one," he said laying
his finger upon a card.
"Surer"
Perfectly " replied the congressman. Ho
knew he could not be mistaken. The corner of
that card was slightly bent up, a mark which it
bore before.
"That's what I said when them keard sharpu
skinned me, and I was so sure that I bet an'
lost"
"I can't be mistaken."
"Easiest thing in the world to be mistaken "
"I'll risk a ten that I cau pick up the right
card," said the congressman. He knew he had
a dead sure thing, if the Texas cattle buyer
was bound to lose why he was ready to win.
"P'r'aps har's a chauce for me ter git sum o'
my mouey back. Now, just fur ther luck o'
ther thing, I'll bet yer fifty dollars yer can't
tell the ace. "
If it was meant for a bluff, the congressman
didn't flunk. He bet The money was put up
and the man from Texas lost He seemed to
grow excited, and threw the cards in such a
plain, clumsy wav that the congressman won
every time. Andlhen, a grand bet of one hun
dred dollars was made and the Texan won. He
threw the cards again, and the bet was one
thousand the Texan won. The congressman
was excited. In less than ten minutes the
Texan walked ints the other car with all the
fleeced man's money.
"Know him?" asked the sad eyed man lean
ing forward.
"A Texas cattleman who's picked up a smat
tering of the game, enough te fleece me,"
groaned the other.
"That's Jim Hurley"
"What! The three card monte king?"
pered the congressman.
"None other, one of bis little games,

whis
that's Fishing for Sponges.
With a good wind the fisheries are reached
In eight or ten hours from this port Then the
real toil begins. Lying on his chest along
the boat's deck, the fisher with his water
glass a pane set in a box fitted with handles
looks down forty feet into the clear
depths. With one hand he grasps and sinks
a slender pole, sometimes fifty feet in length,
fitted at the eud with a double hook. The
sponge once discovered, the hook is deftly in
serted at the rocky bast), and by a suddeu jerk
the sponge is detaced to be brought up on
deck. This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge-fishing gives no
ides of the real skill and exertion needed.
The eye of - the fisher has to be trained
by long experience to peer into the sea and
tell the commercially valuable sponges from
those that are worthless. He must have a deft
hand to manage the swaying hook forty feet
down so as to detach the sponge without a tear.
Above all, while 'doing this with one band,
he must manipulate with the other the water
glass aa the waves sway it sideways and up
or down. The strain on eye and body is
most intense, to say nothing of the cramped
position and exposure to wind and wet, which
first and last make almost every sponge-fisher
a victim of acute rheumatism Yet with all
his arduous toil, a faithful sponge-fisher earns
not more than $15 a month besides his "keep"
on the boat, which barely deserves the name of
existence. , .
A Hot Landlord.
Peck's Bun. .
The other day a meek looking tramp walked
into a hotel in an Iowa town, set a portly look
ing "grip" down on the floor and quietly told
the landlord that he was the foreman of a gang
of telegraph linemen who were engaged in
putting up wires in that neighborhood, and
that he desired to eugage rooms and board for
six men. The landlord sized him np, received
bim cordially and gave him supper and the best
room in the house. In the morning he got np
and ordered dinners nut up for six men, who
be s id were sleeping under a tent lust outside
of the town, and he got his breakfast, took ths
dinners for the men and departed, and the
landlord baa not seen him since. - The land
lord, who was always known aa a quiet, good
natured fellow, has become a changed man,
and he is so hot now, that if water should drop
on bim he would "sias" like a hot stove lid.
He says be can stand an ordinary tramD. bnt
one that will not only beat a man out of two
meals and a night a lodging, but also rob him
of victuals enough to keep him all summer, is
more than any hotel man can stand, and be ia
loaded to the muzzle for tramp now.
