THE SPANISH CORTES.
Customs and Usages Governing Its Pro-
 ceedings and Etiquette.

Customs and Usages Governing Its Pro-
 ceedings and Etiquette.
 The Spaniards are not only good speakers, but good listeners, and hear their political opponents with atten- tion and respect. Dr. H. M. Field, who was present at an exciting de- bate in the Cortes, says in his ''Old Spain and New Spain" that the mem- bers listened in silent attention, and only now and then broke out into ap- plause. A touch of bell brought them promptly to order.
 The speakers seemed to take pride in outdoing one another in courtesy. Even when one had been attacked with asperity, he replied in the blandest manner, and referred to his assailant as ''my personal friend, although my political opponent.
 In the English Parliament preced- ing speaker is alluded to impersonally. He is ''the noble lord,' or ''the right honorable member" In the Congress of the United States, the same rule
  honorable Senator," or ''the gentle man from Alabama.
 But in the Cortes Spanish simplicity authorizes the members to refer to each other by name, and the deputies speak of what Senor Legasta, or Senor Canovas, or Senor Castellar has said.
 In English and American legislative bodies, a member who wishes to speak, rises and calls loudly: 'Mr. Speaker!' or ..Mr. Chairman" A dozen mem- bers may be trying at the same mo- ment to catch the eye of the presiding officer, who recognizes" one of them and gives him the floor. But when member of the Cortes wishes to speak, he does not have to fight for the floor. He sends his name to the President, by whom it is called in its proper order, so that he shall have the same oppor- tunity as others Kouth'S Companto".

THE EMPRESS AUGUSTA.
The JoyIess and Unloved Last Days of an
 Imperial Skeleton.

Il
 Imperial Skeleton.
 A strange, weird figure is that of the eldest of the three German Expresses, the aged widow of William I. Sorrow and bereavements have accumulated upon her head, but have not sufficed to bend her will or to quench her as- founding vitality. She possesses what was once given as Q recipe for long life-a hard heart and good diges- tion "She will never die!" once said of her an exasperated German shop keeper at the time of the demise of her husband. "She loves to worry people and to give trouble, and she will keep on living just to keep on making herself disagreeable." It is said that she was once beautiful, with a genuine royal beauty, tall, slender and graceful, with brilliant eyes and finely-formed shoulders, which she delighted in displaying, covered with jewels, under the low cut corsage of her state toilets. But that is so long ago that probably no one now living remembers the charms of her prime. Her shoulders were her latest point of vanity, and of late years she wore false ones, modelled in wax, the juncture with the throat being con- cealed by a collar necklace of dia- monds or pearls. But for the last twenty years she has been little more than living skeleton, kept alive by medical appliances, and too feeble to walk, a fall that she once had at Baden Baden some years ago having deprived her of her powers of locOmo- tion. Yet she has invariably and in flexibly fulfilled her social duties as ] Empress. Rolled in a wheeled chair to the entrance of the throne room, her attendants would afterward place her on the throne on the days of grand ceremonials or the evenings of grand balls. It was painful to see this remnant of woman, installed in her place of pride, the weird, withered face and small, shining eyes, emerging from mass of costly stuffs, and ap- parently concentrating in them all the energy and vitality of the hidden fig ure. It used to take hours to prepare her for one of these brief appearances, during which her active participation was limited to the exchange of few scarce audible phrases with some prominent guest or high dignitary, after which she would disappear like an apparition. For some years past she las been too feeble to bow to the passers-by during her daily drives, so she caused her carriage seat to be mounted on rockers in such way that a touch from the foot of the lady in-waiting who sat opposite to her

ABOUT OTHER RACES.

Trn first things taught Alaskan children are .o dance, shoot the bow and arrow and to smoke. It Is a common thing to see mother take the child from her breast and give It her pipe.
 THE peasantfT of Russia has not yet fully managed to understand the meaning of the law of emancipation, promulgated by the late Car, thirty years ago. The peasants think they have claim to the land pos sessed by the nobility, and that It IS oy stealth and force only that they arc kept out of their own:
 DEAD Chinaifle1 are buried in the same manner as American PeoPIe-in the earth but the bodies are put down deepsr. to keep them out of the reach of the evil spirit, Who IS siiprassd by the Chinamen to stalk abroad at fifght, counting the tombstones of his victims No ornaments are placed over the graves, so that the evil ene's attention IS not attracted to the spot.
 THE inhabitants of Assam, fn the High lands toward the Burmanese frontier, are not at all given to dudeism. They are near ly black, but not of the negro cast; medium size, and rather Mongolish in appearance. The males pluck all the hair from tnelr ehins, but never have the1r hair cut About two dollars year will furnish four or hve of these persons all the clothes they re- quire.
 THE Moors, as whole; may be considered a nation of gentlemen: The "society'' or Morocco is essentially demOcratici yet the Moors have the deepest reverence Tor the Prince of the Faithful, the anointed of God, the Sultan, who rules their land. With this exception, and the respect due to his faml- ly and all other Sherifs, as descendants of Mohammed, there is no distinction made | bstwseu the social status of one man and another.
 A RECENT writer, describing marriage in Khurdstan, says he saw young man 1 carving off his bride surrounded 5y a body-guard of some twenty or thirty men. These men were supposed to be protecting the happy couple from party of young women, who hurled pieces of earth and bamboos at the processi0ny and made show of rescuing the bride. As sooni however as the bridegroom reached his own village with his charge the assailants ran home screaming and laughing.
 AMONG the Lolos of Western China it is customary for the bride on the wedding morning to perch herself on the highest branch of large tree, while the elder fe- male members of her family cluster on the lower limbs, armed with sticks. Whena al are duly stltloned the bridegroom chambers up the tree, assailed on all sides by blows, pushes and pinches from the dowagerss and it is not until he has broken through thei' fence and captured the brlde that he is al lowed to carry her of.

A DISSOEVING ISLAND.
Scientists Say That 1t Shrank Twenty OIt
 Miles in Seven Years.

Scientists Say That It Shrank Twenty One
 Miles in Seven Years.
 One of the most interesting studies to which ocean navigators have had their attention drawn within the last few years has been the rapid disap- pearance by the action of the sea of Sable Island, which lies in the direct path of all transatlantic shipping bound to Philadelphia and New York. The branch Photographic office in this city has just been served with notice by the British Government that one of the Lighthouses that flashes its fays from the island for the guidance of sea-going vessels has been under= mined, and must be taken down and removed to site further inland. At present the sea threatens to demolish the light and the tower.
 Sable Island is situated in latitude 43 deg. 59 min., longitude 59 deg. AZ min., and when the imperiled light house was erected consisted of tract of low and sandy soil about twenty-fiv @ miles in length, upon which no veget,t- tion but a dwarf species of cranberry has ever thrived. The steamers Alert sailed from Halifax, N6via Scotia, re- gently with nien and materials to begin the erection of a temporary light on a more sheltered site. This work will be prosecuted with dispatch, and by reason of the marvelously quick in- roads that the sea is making it is not believed that much time will elapse before another removal will be neces- sary.
 From surveys made by an English war vessel it has been learned that within a period of seven or eight years the length of the island has been gradually reduced from forty to nine- teen and a half miles, and that its width has fallen away from two and a half to less t., one mile. The mas ter of the surveying vessel says that the future of the island is any thing but cheering for the navigator to con- template, and should the oceans rav- ages continue with their present de- structive force, it will not be long be- fore the sea will have clean sweep, and there will not be even a shoal left to mark the spot where once was seen twenty-five miles of clear land.
 With the disappearance of the light, every ocean chart now in service will become valueless if not corrected, and life and property will be greatly i'm periled. A recent survey has shown that the charts are at least ten miles wrong on the outer portion of the island, and that sand-hills represented as being 150 feet high do not exist al all. Other changes in the topography of the island are believed to have taken place within a recent period, of which mariners have no knowledge PhtlG- delphtd Record.

would cause the aged Empress to bend forward at the right moment.
 She has always been, above all things the Queen-Consort. Never a happy or a loving wife, welded from political necessity, and ruled with a rod of iron by that despotie martinet, her husband. she has fever been especially devoted to the two children born of that loveless union. She has taken delight in the exercise of her social functions, first as Queen and afterwards as Empress. She is also an intelligent woman, and is well versed not only in German, but in French literature as well, always taking care, with certain degree of affectation, to exchange a few words in public with the French Ambassador in his own language at the great court ceremonies. She has always been fond of dress, but as an actress Is fond of her costumes, taking great interest in arraying herself to appear in public to play her part as a sovereign. This frail skeleton, wrapped in an imperial mantle or shrouded in laces and embroideries and jewels, showed like the ghost of some vanished and ancient dynasty at the grand official entertain ments. She was the She of Rider Haggard, who had survived her pas sage through the fire'-Cor, M T. Graphic.
