"Tho wsawlnatlon of Canovaa by an an-
Brchl t , " said Colonel W. P. M. McCarthy ,
"may presage a general revival of rcvo'.u
tlonary uctlvlty. 1 once spent a morn.ni ;
with the craneror of Russia to emphasize
tlio real danger ho was at that tlmo laboring
i under from nhlllsts. ) An anU-nlhllUt device
which had boon highly commended to him
was proven then and there , under his own
eyes , In his .own palace grounds , to bo worse
that ! useless. "
Colonel McCarthy , now a resident of New
York. Is tn the prime of life. U Is only
by fortunate chance that his friends suc
ceed'In getting him to talk uhout his m.tr-
Yclous experiences on the czar's personal
staff at the court of Ilnsrla.
"It 'was lu Paris , " said Colonel McCarthy ,
"that I bec&nlo acquainted with an aldfl of
the Czar. Alexander. The Russians ate
greatly'Interested In applied chemistry ont
novel mechanical devices for warfare. I had
Borne Ideas on these subjects which this aide
nskcd mo to put before his superiors. The
Grand Dulco Constantine was there and I
was presented to him. Our Interviews flmlly
led to my golni ; to St. Petersburg , where I
nos presented to the cz > ir himself.
"I first met the emperor In the winter
palace one morning at 9 o'doclc. IIo was an
early riser , and the machinery of the court
was all In operation by that lio'ir. Ills maj
esty received mo kindly , nnd at once pub me
at my ease. 'I love Americana/ raid

"I'll never forget the mysterious errand-
upon which I was dispatched one cold and
i-tormy night by , and I may say with , Gen

St. Petersburg. My entry Into the em

ceased to exist from that hour , at least hi
Ilus-Mi. A messenger had come asking mete
I to the American legation at 8 o'clock that
evening 'without uniform. ' Thcso words
naturally excited my curiosity I wore the
imperil ! crown on the collar of my mit'orm
coat , and in that dtess passed at will
through the streets of St Petersburg by day
or by night. For I wiis supposed to be nil

ncss.LHARNINO TO MAKE MINT JULEPS.
I "When I got to the embassy I learned to
my Intense surprlro that the minister and
I wore to viijit the czar Incognito.
General Curtln had a carcel under his arm
when wo reached the palace and to my
amazement ho was promptly admitted , with
out question , to the czar's private apart
ments. I followed after him. The emperor
at once dismissed his attendants , gave us
hearty hand shakes acid bade us be seated in
front of a cheery coal fire In a large com
fortably looking sitting room. General Cur
tln was evidently very much at homo there
and from the racket under hla arm ho now
produced a largo black bottle. A servant
brought lemons , cracked Ice , a silver bowl
containing a magnificent bunch of mint , loaf
sugar , vermouth and brandy. And thereupon
In my presence the American minister gave
the czar lessons In the ait of making mint
juleps and whisky cocktails.
"Tho whisky was old Monongahcla rye ,
eat to General Curtln from the state of
vDslIko for foreigners In general ,
In a national , a religious sentiment. In
every Russian church the visitor In Im

by the prominent position In which he be

reverence nnd deep significance. The first
U that of iPctcr the Great , the father of
UusMn on we know It. The necoml Is that
of Abraham Lincoln , the liberator. The
third U that of Alexander. That was an
evening to be trrasurcd up In memory , lint
I spent one morning with the car Which
was ten mere Tricmornhlo.
" od to report to his majesty for ordcm
o\ery morning at 9. This particular morn
ing , after the rest had left the room , ho
Invited me to accompany him out Into the
palace grounds , which cover. I suppose , the
equivalent of about four Now York City
blocks It wan Juat then that nihilists had
enlisted In their- behalf the unknown
terrors of d > namltc. New dangers were
suspected on all sides. As we walked Into
the open the czar told me In a few words
that the SIlvortowTi cable company -proposed
thruough a reprtiontatlvc sent for that
purpcse to Qt. Petersburg , to protect the
grounds of the palace by a steel barrier ,
which was to be charged with powerful
Alternating lourrrnts o ( electricity. The
proposition had been looked on favorably ,
and the company's , ngent had been
authorized to build an experimental section
of the barrier. Dynamite , the new Instru
ment of destruction. , .but little understood ,
had more tl an once been hurled over the
walls , from the street , and exploded some
minutes thereafter , by a lime fuse.
"Many Innocent passcrsiby had leal their
ll\ca frc/m the explosion and sections of the
wall had been throw tw dawn , the culprits
escaping to a safe distance before the fuse
burned iJown to the bomb. The nearer
approach of .these miscreants was to be
apprehended by digging tinder the walls or
burrowing up through the BOW era or lands.
If this company's device would render It Impossible -
possible to tunnel under the walla the
Imperial government -would undoubtedly pay
a largo sum of money for It. Russia Is
never niggardly ; the sum agreed on was
500,000 roubles , a gut $250,000. All thla I
'
learned afterwards' ,
AVe found the barrier burled fifteen feet
under ground , reaching to within a foot , pcr-
hrps , of the Bitrflice. It was In turn enclosed
In a wooden box , and tl\c \ earth over It was
packed so as to leave no Indication of Its
presence. Four pbwerful dynamos were
erected In the palace grounds. Their cur
rents wore conveyed ( o tno barrier , which
was In turn so connected with an elaborate
system of alarm pongs in the palace that
contact with the steel network would not
only be fatal to tiio person touching It , but
would at the same Instant sound the alarm
In the palace.
AN ELECTRICAL BARRIER.
"Tho czar , 1 a few words , asked mo to
make an exoert report on It. I agreed to
pass the barrier.without difficulty , provided
ho would allow f ,1110 to use two or three
laborers and the ordinary tools of an elec
trician. Ho agreed. A couple of laborers
wore sent at once to dig out the earth from
the trench In which the barrier was burled ,
exposing an area' tour or five feet square of
the enclosing box. With a tenon saw I
now cut out a circular section , some four
feet across from the box , closing the steel
netting withlti. The czar all the while stood
looking on.
"From the kit of electrical tools I took some
silk thread , a pair of ruboer gloves , a pair
of rubber-handled nippers , a cell of copper
wire and a rubber mat to stand on. Putting
on the gloves , I made a circular loop of the
wire , lea\ing loose onu end , which I
grounded. The loop , same four feet across , I
proceeded to fasten In the steel netting , ob
serving the utmost precaution against com
ing In actual contact with the netting , for
tl.at meant deatji. Holding the copper loop
L ( ) to the ncttlliK until the two almost , but
not quite , touched , I passed the silk thread
from ono to thq , other by the nippers , drawIng -
Ing the -threads tighter and tighter as I
progressed , until flinlly I had the entire
copper loop secured to the barrier , making a
corr9letcjJrBult. ( {
"Next \ttiick : the loose end of the cop
per wire IrAo tbo ground and proseeded ,
with the rUbber-handled nippers , to cut
away with Impunity all those meshes of the
network which were Inside the clrcumrcr-
cnco of my topper loop. The powerful elec
tric currents were in ° the meantime passing
harmlessly off Into the ground ; I had. In
technical terms , 'short circuited * them. Now
himself , for whom ho cherished but Illtlo
personal Hffcctlon The Prln-ew Polgoroukl ,
of that ancient Russian stock which Peter
the Great bid driven from the throne , was
loved devotedly by Alexander , but she was
ftftor all only a morgantlc spnOsc. A new
and hideous weapon was being used against
him by Invisible enemies. Sleeping and wak
ing ho was the prey of nervous apprehen
sions. Yet was he a man of Iron ncrvo , of
great personal dignity nnd of charming , tin'
affected manners.
A DANGEROUS RIDE.
"I was Instructed onq night to jump on
the box of a droshky In the paUco yard ,
where many vehicles word constantly kept
for the use of the court , and drive whoever
should call for that pirllcular vehicle to
whatever address ho or she should designate.
I pulled a big bear skin cap down over my
face , threw on a fur coat and , mounted the
scat. Presently a noble lady of the court ,
muffled In ftrs , beckoned to me and gave mo
tlio address of a rich money lender In a
remote suburb. I finally found the place < Wid
nflcr my fare had gone Inside , to pawn her
diamonds or compromise her husband , I could
only surmise which , I tat on the box In the
Icy wind until I was nlmo t frozen. A
beggar came limping by , In rags , and asked
alms. I did not want to take my hands
rut of my pockets , but finally , to get rid of
his Importunity , I threw him a piece of
mctiey. Ho locked hard at me as I raised
MI my face , In the lamplight , and hobbled
away , moro swiftly , I thought , than ho had
approached.
"My faro c mo out , I drove her home , none
the wiser , and I went to bed. The next
morning by 8 o'clock I received a cjurt mes
sage to report to the chief of police. I felt
vaguely trat I was In trouble. Jumping Into
the carrlago I called out xu the driver to go
to the chief of police. Hut on the way I
directed htm to stop at tlio p.ilace and In a
tow minutes I was In the cznr's presence
tad had told him everything.
"Hli majesty smiled , and , writing my name
In Russian across a bit of pooer on the table
In front of him , he tore the paper In two and
gave mo one of the fragments.
" 'Go on to where you are summoned , ' ho
said , 'but fear nothing. I expect my officers
to do any duty assigned them , bo It In the
pcrroratlon of a washerwomen , a beggar , man
or droshky driver. But , next time , disguise
yourself better. '
"When I got to the office of the chief of
pollco I was asked to explain what I had bee * >
dolns ; on tbo box of a droshky the previous
ovenltig In front of the residence , the owner's
name of which was now given to and recog
nised by me. Every detail of my adventure
was at the end of my Inquisitor's tongue.
THE TWO PIECES OF PAPER.
For answer I took from my bosom the
fragment of paper I had so recently received
from the emperor's hands and to my amaze
ment the chief of police , with a smile , look
from the desk In front of him the corresponding
spending fragment and bowed mo out. I had
traveled full speed from the cmpeior to him ,
yet this ploco of r-apcr , which showed 1
had been on my master's Business , had pre
ceded me.
"Nihilism .after all Is blruply the noblt& '
lovongo. It Is retaliation for the frosdom
of the serfs. By the stroke of his pen the
Cmparor Alexander had freed 10,000,000 serfs
and Impoverished thousands of noble fami
lies. The nature of the nihilism consplracj
can only be understood after- * some study
of the conditions of Russian society at this
end of the century. Every Russian youth
has a caiesr mapped out for him. Lot UE
sly that the head of a noble Russian fatnlb
has four sons , whom ho scuds to the uni
versity. Education , first cf allt they must
have , to fit them for anv career. A , the
oldest , Is destined for government services.
B , the second. Is to be a doctor. C , the
thlid , shall go Into the army. D , the young
est , does not distinguish himself In his
studies and Is the black sheep , as It were ,
of the family fold. When ho does not pass
his examinations his parents arc incensed.
When his brethren have finished their uni
versity courses and ure launched Into life D
Is still hanging on , drinking and dancing ,
dissipating his opportunities and the liberal
allowance his father makes him. At last
the father loses patience and giving him a
round sum of money bids him be gone , to
America , to Africa , anywhere out of Rus
sia , where ho hiis disgraced a proud name.
But thp youth has made friends at the uni
versity of other ne'er do wells. Perhaps he
has a mistress. Assuredly he. Is already a
familiar flgurct In ) the troctolrs of tea cafes.

a , ot which ho had been governor.
Ills majesty mid he had never tasted any
thing as good In his life as the Juleps and
ho forthwith commissioned General Curtln to
order for the Imperial cellars a largo quan
tity of tlio rye whisky , which he had never
Jieard 'ot until after the arrival of Curtln In
Bt. Petersburg. Ten barrels of Monongahula
rye were actually shipped from I'ennsyl-
yanla not long afterward to the czur. You
Would never guess my part Ui the festivities ,
It was nothing moro nor Iraa than tolling
ntggor stories. Of course I knew plenty of
them , having been brought , up In the south
In antebellum days , mid the czar never tired
of hrarlng them. Kolk lore talcs and the
quaint -conversation between "Qror Itabblt
.nd Urcr lUr" delighted him. Afterward ,
at the czar'u request , I sent to Now York
for all the books of this description I could
gut bold of ,
"General Curtln won fhu affection , of bli
majesty by his genial personality , his fund
of tnocdote and his unaffected sincerity.
IIo would toll story after story of Ameri

Alexander laughed OB merrily as a school

Ufa were , ( hose passed In this lnforin < il way

MIGHT H'AVE'MAUC A FORTUNE.
"Tlio czar smiled , and the company failed
to negotiate the sale. I was afterward In
formed that I might IMVO made a good miny
thousands bv keeping my own counsel , Hut
that was not what I was there for. As a
matter ot fact the reason why the nihilists
are so seldom successful In executing their
plots Is because the government , which Is
the czar , employs eo many able ofllclals to
head them off , My onu suggestion of a
substitute for the burled steel barriers wus
Hlmply an open trench fifteen feet deep end
four feet wide , on the Inner side of which
sentries should constantly patrol. As St.
Petersburg is built on swampy land , It would
be necessary to keep pumps going constantly
to Keep water out of the trench.
"This Incident of the steel barrier scr\es
to Illustrate the general situation existing
tetwecn the czar and the nihilists ,
"Tho czar , on the Juslde of the wall , con-
tlnuolly cmplojB more men , better men , and
smarter men than tbo nihilists outtlde the

A series of Investigations just completed

Department of Agriculture go to show that
here IB an Immense amount of popular Igno
rance In the matter of cooking ; that , while
the greater part of ) the food of man la pre
pared lor use by7 cooklns-yot tbechanges
which various foods undergo during the'
process and the losses -which arc brought
about have been but little studied. Few-
persons know , for Instance , that in 100
founds of uncooked cabbage thcro arc but
seven and one -halts pounds of dry matter ,
and of this dry matter from two and one-
quarter to three pounds are lost In the cook-
ng pot. Experiments with potatoes showed
hat In order to obtain the highest food value
> otatoes should not bo peeled before cook-
tig ; that when potatoes are peeled before
cooking the Icaab Icsu Is sustained by put-
Ing them dlrcctlyi Into hot water and boiling
ns rapidly as possible. Even then the loss
s very considerable1.
If potatoes are peeled and soaked In cold
water before boiling the loss of nutrients
s very great , being one-fourth of all the
albumcnold matter. < In a bushel of potatoes
the loss would bo equivalent to a pound of
sirloin steak. Carrots contain less nltro-
; en , but relatively moro albuminoid nitrogen
lian potatoes and therefore furnish more
matter available for building muscular tis
sues. In order to preserve the greatest
amounts of nutrients In the cooking of car
rots , the pieces should be largo rather .rrin
small ; the boiling should be rapid , so tr < a :

should bo used , and If the matter extracted
s made available as food along with the car
rots , a IDES of 20 to 30 per cent , or oven
nero , of the total food value may bo pre
vented. In the cooking of cabbage the kind
of water used has more effect on the loss of
nutrients than the temperature of the water
at which the cooking Is started. In any case
ho ICES Is large. The losses which occur In
he cooking of potatoes , carrots and cabbages
vary with the different methods of boiling
allowed.

Atlanta Constitution : The citizens of a
Georgia town were greatly annoyed by the
[ ncesaint ringing of the bell of a school

A committee waited on the principal and
entered a vigorous protest.
"Is It absolutely necewary that you should
ring that bell all day long ? " asked trie
( spokesman of the committee
"Dat'a wat It Is , sir , " replied the principal ;
"hit's ono er de regulations or do school. "

grounds. Not a hand was mlsed to save
her from this -gruesome death , but her de
scendants calmly sttod by and crooned the
death song while the tragedy \vas being en
acted. Their only movement was of splf-
presenotlon , when the rising flames caught
In the Inflammable fabric of the tepee and It
was only an instant after they had hurrlodly
left It that It burst Into a mass of blaze ,
then fell upon the charred body of the old
crone , forming her funeral pyre.
' -Poor old Mam-sook-a-wam lived a life of
"Slavery and degradation and died the death
of a martvt" because u few medicine men ,
chiefs and head Indluns had taught her to
believe that her soul's salvation dcp ti'led
on her strict obedience to the barbarous laws
and customs of her people. The witnesses
to her wretched death did not even deign to
gather up the charred remains and give tho'n
decent burial , but left them , to fester In the
sun , not even reporting her death to the
chief.
This revolting tragedy was enacted on the
reservation where the Klowa , Comanche and
Apache Indians arc now he.'d , fifteen miles
from Fort Sill and almost In the shadow
at churches mid school houses established
by the government , where missionaries have
labored for the past thirty > pars to civilize
and christianize this benighted race of pee
ple. This decrepit old squaw firmly be
lieved It to be her duty to submit to all
the Indignities heaped upon helpless females
by the Inhuman treatment of the oterncr
sex. '
Quar.nah Parker , the head chief of the
Comaticho Indiana , lives In a $10,000 mansion
ut the foot of one of the most rugged moun
tain ranges In all that Wichita country.
About two miles from his palatial residence
he selected a burial place for his tribe ,
whcie the remains of his people , wrapped
only In blankets , can bo seen under the
rocky cliffs In all stages of decomposition.
The worldly goods of the deceased are left
on or around coch grave , all ponies belong
ing to a deceased Indian are tied to the trees
nearest his grave and stabbed to death.
Many of the skeletons lay there with ono
end of a rope attached to the bcnes of the
neck , and the other tied to a tree.
DISCOVERED DY A WHITE MAN.
The death of Mam-sook-a-wam was not
generally known until David Qrantbam , a
whlto man , was attracted to the spot by the
citonch arising from the aecaylng body. Ho
Immediately icported the fact to Head Chief
Parker , and the latter , to his credit , ordered
the whlto man to gather up the charred re
mains and lay them to rest , for which setv-
Ice ho paid the cash. It Is a curious sight
to sco her list restleig place In the most
flcturcsquo spot of mountain scenery , with
all her pots , dishes and worldly goo < 3 piled
on or around the gravo. Let the athca of
poor M'im-saok-a-wam rest In peace where
the wolves can howl her nlghtb requiem and
the eagles scicam over her desolate grave.

A remarkable act of pluck and bravery
on the part of ono of the gentler sex was die-
plajctl at Wlssahlckon station , on the HeadIng -
Ing railway , on Saturday last , says the Phil
adelphia Hccord , A bevy of young women ,
who were out on a chcstnuttlng picnic from
West Philadelphia , were walling for a trolley
car to convoy them to Norrlslown. A man
much the \\orsc for llnuor came walking
a'ong the station platform , nnd just ns n
train wan approaching attempted to cross the
tracks. Ono of the joung women saw his
danger nnd quicker than a flash she Jumped
on the track , seized the unfortunate man by
the nape of thd neck nntl threw him out of
harm's way. The next moment the train
rushed past , All the girls nml the rescued
victim Rot aboard the trolley car , nnd before
they reached Uoxborough the man sobered up
sufficiently to realize the peril ho had been
In , and to show * his Rratltudo offered to marry
the girl at sight. "She , however , declined on
the plea that It was the first offer she had
ever had.
He Knew IK'Hor.
Chicago Post : Ho had 0110 foot well ban
daged and propped up on a footrest , n towel
tied around his head and ono arm In a sling.
HlH wife was silting nt the other end ot
the room reading.
"According to John Oliver Hobbes , " she
said at last , "tho great thing In life Is to sny
wlint > ou mean , not what you think you
ought to say. Wo should be earnest "
"Hold on a minute , " ho Interrupted. "Just
eiy thnt ON or again. "
She repeated the statement , and at the con
clusion he solemnly shook his head.
"Won't do , " ho eald. "I tried It. That's
why I'm here.1 ' '
