wheat cakes, some game and light kind OF
pastry, nothing but champagne being drunk
at such a meal. Masquerade balls, dancing
and theatre parties prevail among the rich,
but neither are the lower classes of the cities
forgotten at that time. The municipality of
every city causes large barracks to be erected
on the best available open space inside the
city limits, and in those barracks cheap COM

freaks are exposed, panoramas are displayed,

just as in England, the clubbing of the police
man being the most popular feature of the
show.
Elsewhere on the same space great swings
are erected, and those are almost as well pa
tronized by the lower classes as are the leo
mountains near by. These mountains, some
sixty and even seventy feet high, are built in
wood, with ice frozen down on their sloping
sides. People ascend the mountain by stair

the sleighs that are on hire and slide down to

THE Art OF Cuitcnranl,Y,


The early maps used by Professor Ho1.sford
are partly French, and this, with the remark.
able display of maps ut the Paris exposition,
and the great work undertaken by the
French bookseller, Hatchctte, leads me to
say word about map making, or ''cartogrn-
phy,n as the French call it. The age OF Louis
XIV, which produced SO much else, gave an
impulse to map making, and early in the last
century the great atlns of D'Auville, which
was forty years in making, was the first an
cestor Of innunerable maps since published.
France also, under tho Bourbons made the
first important Typographical survey, under
the lend OF Casina de Fleury, who was en-
gagged on it from l7+i to 1883, and his maps
were used by Napoleon and Wellington in
their campaigns.
In our century, however, geographical
science and art under Humboldt, who studied
in Paris, and Ritter have migrated to Ger
many with other branches of learning. The
great publisher, Porthes, ct Gotha, employ
ing men like Stieler, Sydow, Spruncr and
petermann, and the rival Berlin publisher,
kiepert, have for fifty years held sway in
map making. Hachettc, in the days of the
second Napoleon, undertook to break down
the German monopoly in this art and to re-
store France to her former eminence i'll it,
and this Paris publisher employed Vivien do
St Martin to edit his new atlas, which is
now coming out in monthly numbers, begin
ming with 1887. A still larger atlas, begun in
1877, is waiting to follow. Vivien dc ST.
Martin died before much had been issued,
and he had been succeeded by F. Schraeder
The preparatory work is done and the publica
tion will soon begin again. "A single map will
occupy an engraver a year or two. III tho
smaller atlas, maps of Switzerland, the Brit
ish Isles and the Russian empire are published

ICE PALACE,


Very fast driving is often indnlged in by
the nobility in the course Of the winter, and
mostly so at carnival, but then regular driv-
ing parties are organized by young people.
Wide sleighs are hired, each sleigh being
driven at furious rate OF speed by three
horses, called s'troikas." Merchants OF the
highest, most educated class do not gem
orally drive out on the above mentioned
piazzas, given up to the enjoyment Of the
populace, There are many millionaire mer-
chants to be met in the piazza drives ION
parade" but those are all uneducated, old
time people, who mostly bring out their
handsome overdressed daughters to show off
the girls beauty as well as the latter's dia-
monds, and here it is also that the selection
Of future brides and husbands is generally
made, young people of both sexes keeping
their eyes wide open and trying to make their
choice
Last winter, in addition to other amuse-
ments, there was largeice castle built in st.
Petersburg by the owner of the Aquarium,
palace that Is said to be as beautiful in its
outlines of as large proportions and splendid
appointments as any Ice palace ever built in
Canada for the frolic set up for carnival
week. This is seemingly new departure in

AN OLD TIME CALIFORNIAN.

Gen. Mariana Guadalupe Vallejo, who died
n few days ago at his home in Sonoma was
probably the last of the eminent Californians

fornian" meant Mexican, and all Others
Americans included, were called "tringos,'
or foreigners If not the last, he was Ger

whole population Of California was legs than
100000 and all its exports few shiploads of
hides, and to think Of tho long cru i'll which
it was growing even to that.
In 200 years California passed through the
mission period and was settled by a scant
population of the Spanish race. but in the five
years preceding the discovery of gold about
5000 Americans trailed over the 5000 miles
of devious routes from the Mississippi and
located IN the province; among whom were
such veterans as Ex-Governor Boggs of Mis-
souri,; tieu John II. Bi1wcll, Edwin Bryant
and the survivors Of the ill latel Bonner
party A few Russians and Swiss like Capt
Sutter, were already in the country, but uli
were i'll fair way to be merged in the Nlexi-
can population when down upon them like an
avalanche came the gold seekers, and the old
population WAS completely overrlrl Now
and then at long intervals man like Don Pio
Plco, ex-Gorefnor, or Gen. Chico became
prominent, unl one Romunlo Pacheco was
elected lieutenant governor but as Il rule the
state was thoroughly Anglo -Snxonzed.
