child Sheswas only 2 years old last Decem-
Der, and an airier, sprightlier, naughtier
baby cannot be found in the two continents.
When she comes over to Washington from
her fathers house in Jenkintown, as she does
once or twice a month, the big house on [
street becomes a nursery for her, and she
rules every one, from her dignified grand
father to herlittle Aunt Lily.
She is more French than English, as the
biggest part Of her two years has been spent
in Paris and Nice. Her mother, although an
American girl, was reared and educated in
Paris, where her fathers business kept him.
Little Miss Bernanda's talk is a polyglot mix
ture Of French and English.
The postmaster general is ''grandpapa,"
her mother ''maman, "'her oldest aunt she al

'Lots of advice has been given to smokers,
but III tell you something which has never
been written up and ought to be known"
This was told a reporter in the Grand Pa
cifc by one of the biggest tobacco dealers in
New York.
Come into the cigar store" he went on,
land you will notice that two out Of three
men will cough while lighting cigars"
The first person who set fire to cigar
coughed quite violently,

tits caused by the smoke"
"Never. When you are about to smoke
cut off the mouth end of the cigar, put the
smoke end in the mouth, and then blow.
This expels all the fine particles of tobacco
ard dust inside the cigar. When you have
done this reverse the torch and you won't
cough when lighting it. Those little bits OF
tobacco get down your throat, and are in
furious. More people have been injured by
swallowing these little specks than you have
any idea of, yet they think they were hurt
by inhaling the smoke. Chicago Tribune.

and to draw the equator towards IT. As
consequence, the sun crosses the equator each
year little farther west than the point
where it crossed the last time before. In
olden times it was said that the equinoct4al
point, or place Of crossing, went forwards TO
meet the sun. Hence the phenomenon was
called the procession Of the equInoxes. But
from the fact that the equinoctial point
really falls backwards on the celestial equa-
tor towards the west, each time about 80
seconds of a degree, astronomers frequently
speak of the recession Of the equinoxes." in

years and the man tells Of an experience
which illustrates the thOughtfulneSs OF the
Grand Old Man" One time this shopkeePer
had a visitor in the person Of rich uncle
who had coma in from the country TO see the
sights, and of course the house Of commons
was one Of the sights which the uncle was
most anxious 10 see.
1t occurred to the nephew that he might,
without presuming TOO far, apply to Mr..
Gladstone for ticket Of admission 70 the
gallery Of the house 1t was true that Mr..
Gladstone was premier, and should hardly be
bothered with . trifing matter Of this kind,
but il was also true thst the twenty years
business relations between the premier and
the tradesnan justified TO degree the hope
that the request should be granted So my
friend dispatched polite none 70 the premier.
The next day happened to be Sunday, but in
the morning there came hearty knock n the
BRIDESMAIDS door. 1t was Ar. Gladstone,
who, on his way 70 church. had called 20 leave

forty years of The Milwaukee Wisconsin. He
lost both sight and hearing when boy by a
coasting accident in New England; but this

equipped He began newspaper work after
studying law in Albany, and became close
friend of Henry j. Raymond, Horace Gree

to Milwaukee, where he has made The Wis

He dictates editorials daily, and has the
leading journals read to him by the audi

Prisoners in Siberia.

An account from Tonnsk describes the state
of tie Siberian prisons as something fearful,
and gives the following figures, which speak
for themselves. Tomsk, the seat of the only
university in Siberia, is at the same time the
central depot of extles.
1t possesses a prison which can accommo-
date 765 men, reckoning for each one Is Gu
bic feet of air There is space for 40 healthy
persons and 275 sick ones; but the number OF
exiies who arrived in Tomsk in 1856 was 49,
1874, of whom only Il, $50 were transported
further. In 1887 there arrived Il, 277 and in
1850, OLA, and in 1889, up to September,
over 1900, OF whom Is, 522, u, 2S9 and II 900
respectively were taken to the interior. In
1885 the average daily number of prisoners
was at least ], 313; in 1887 l, 100, and in 1883,
$50. In some weeks these numbers in
creased in 1885 to 1855, in 1887 to 2, 755, and
in 1888 even to 5000 men. Among these the
daily average on the sick list was, in 1885,
1894; in 1887, 5l2 mot less than 45 per cent },
and in 1888, 500, the ma jority suffering from
typhoid fever The official report says in a
few words that for want of room hundreds
of beds with patients suffering from serious
maladies were placed in the open air, while
the temperature was only six degrees Reau-

of course, enormous. Between $50 and 4OO

''That HawIey baby" is aphrase that every
mother in Washington has used, for that
Hawley baby ever since she was born, eigh-

other Washington babies, al because her En-

English fashion. When young mothers would
carefully carry their bundled up dnrlings into
the closecoupes where they were to have their
daily outing they would see that Hawley
baby"pass without even veil over its fat face

because it persists in going out every day in
