persons and 275 sick ones; but the number OF
exiles who arrived in ToInsk in 1886 was 49,

over 1900, OF whom 10, 522, IA, 239 and II 900
respectively were taken to the interior In
1886 the average daily number of prisoners
was at least 1913; In 1887, 1,120, and in 1883,

creased in 1856 to 1855, in 1851 to 9, 755, and
in 1883 even TO 500 men. Among these the
daily average on the sick list was, in 1886,
1914; in 1887, 5l2 mot less than 457 per cent?

a New Fish Story.

Writing of trout reminds me that genial
"Billy' Florence has been telling another
fish story, and this time caught tartar.
1t was at the Fifth Avenue hotel, where he
lives, and there was quite group around,
including Mr.. Cooper, the Mexican onyx
mine owner, when Mr.. Florence gravely
told about going atishing and catching a
fish that weighed 500 pounds. The onyx
mans eyes twinkled like stars as the story
was concluded, and to Mr.. Florence's in
quiry whether or not he couldn't tell fish
story, toe, he replied:
you bet / can. Why, went afishing
once and caught 'possum that weighed
600 pounds He was the biggest"--
'But hold on" put in Mr.. Florence,
whats that got to do with fish,"
"Eh? Oh, yes. Well, you see we weighed
him on scales, and you must admit scales
have something to do with fish, and then
as he was 'possum we set him to telling
stories to suckers-suckers are fish, ehf"
Florence gasped for breath and owned
up that he was defeated.-New York Press.

beautiful Ecuador Women.

The females of Ecuador are proverbial
for beauty, those among the aristocracy
being said to have the fairest compilations
of any in South America, while all possess
large, soft and expressive dark eyes, the
BLACKLIST and most abundant hair, the
whitest teeth, well rounded figures and
small hands and feet. Like all women in
the tropics, they mature early and fade
quickly, but perhaps their average span of
forty years includes more heart happiness
than comes to women of colder climes in
three score years and ten, for these are
harrassed by no ''carking cares" or high
ambitions
Incidence religious superstition and
faithfulness unto death are their most
prominent characteristics; their passionate
natures are completely satisfied in the love
of home, husband and children, and for
them the whole universe lies within the
limits of vision. What higher praise could
be bestowed upon the women of any coun-
tryS To be sure, they are VIGOROUSLY I'M
tidy in dress and habits, but the manta or
paneulon, like the mantel of charity, COW
ers a multitude of sins. AS the poncho,
for men, is the universal and most useful
garment for the middle and lower classes,
answering for coat by day, a coverlid by
night, an umbrella when it rains and a
basket when there is anything to carry, the
female manta is worn by all classes and is
equally indispensable, since it hides I'M
kempt hair and all defects of toilet.-Cor.

Antinnaa in ClnthInr.

some interesting collections made, compris

our actors have many relics of costume in

the great departed lights Of the stage. aka
Felix Morris, Of the Vokes company, q
most careful actor, is somewhat OF an anti.

rarities, a short wasted, peculiarly fashioned
coat that he wears in 1.-THE Old Musician, >
that is over 100 years old. 1t was purchased
in Montreal, and belonged to French emigre.
The stiff high velvet collar Is made with q
neatness that no modern tailor could match
in handiwork, and all the stitchery is of the
exquisite fineness that one does not see nova

upon rare occasions, representing the artistry

When winter WIN he summer

The plane of the earth's orbit crosses the
equator at an angle Of about 23N degrees
The attractive force of the sun, moon and
stars constantly exerted upon the earth has 9
tendency to tilt the pole away from the sun
and to draw the equator towards it. AS O
consequence, the sun crosses the equator each
year a little farther west than the point
where it crossed the last time before. In
olden times it was said that the equinoctial
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 90
seconds of degree, astronomers frequently
speak of the recession Of the equinoxes," in.
stead of procession. In consequence Of this
recession our seasons begin little earlier
every year, and the time will come-in about
1000 years-when the sun will cross the
equator in midwinter Then the seasons will
be completely reversed; the Fourth Of July
will come in the month of billiards., and
Christmas during the hot wave epoch. st.

sinks, and in the hole thus formed you find a
litter of puppies, on which you must beware
Of treading unless you wish to provoke the
anger of the mother. In the middle Of the
road, in the gutter, along the narrow curb
stone, in the sur in the shade, everywhere
and every turn you see scores Of yellow,
NANCY, wounded and mutilated dogs-some
with three legs, some minus nose, some
With their ears torn into fringe, all scored
over with scars-who are foraging about or
lying in the sun wherever they please, undis-
turbed by any one The men get out of the
way of the dogs, and not the dogs out of the
way of the men. Nay, more, in the lower
part of STEAMBOAT, where there is a tramway :,
| have seen car stop and heard the driver
Gse, not the lash, but soft and persuasive
words in order to induce the NANCY cur to
remove his headquarters from the rail across
which he lay doing in the sun.
