that while dining recently at the house
of one of his friends he was pleased to
observe that he was the objectof marked
attention from the small son of his host,
whose eyes were riveted upon him. After
dinner the bishop approached the boy and
said:
We'll, my young friend, you seem u
be interested in me. Do you find that
am all right?"
~Yes, sir, returned the boy, with
glance at the bishops kneebreeches,

Canadian Criminal Statistics.

The blue book dealing with the peni-
tentiaries of Canada shows an increase
in the number of convicts for the year
ending June 30, 1890, of Sc over the pre-
ceding year, the total number in all the
penitentiaries being 1,25l. In the
course of the last fiscal year 1SS9-90, 431
convicts were sentenced to penal service
in all the penitentiaries, as compared
with 434 in 1SSS-S9. The number dis
charged in 1SS9-9O was 34S, as compared
with 333 in 1SSS-S9. The increase lastyear
was 45 less than the record on June so,
1889, which was 1O1. 1t is 81 more than
on June 30, 1886, when the total num-
ber was 1000, and 81 less than on Juno
so, 1870, when our convicts numbered
1878 1t can be seen from these totals,
at different periods within the last
eleven years, that year by year there
has been a fluctuation in the criminal
population, which has seldom varied
any year in the direction of either in
crease or decrease more than fifty.
Taken at it's highest rate since 1870,
the percentage of convict criminals is
slight-about one in 1900, assuming
the population of the dominion to be

One Dollar Per Year,
TAE IMPROVED WOMAN.


Her Physical Condition iins IN ths fAN
Few Years Improved Wonderfully.
1t may be ungallant to suppose that
there is, or has been, any room for im-
provcment in woman, but it is undoubt-
cdly true that in the last
ten years there has been
marked bettering of the physical con'
dition OF American women, Whether
it is the result of gymnastics or the
travelling of many of our girls in for
eign lands, where they have had an OPP
portunity of admiring the superior phys
ical qualities of English and German
women, or the general discussion of the
subject, do not know. Perhaps the
fact that so many of those females who
prided themselves on their bewitching
languors and fashionable invalidism
having been passed by when our young
men came to make selection of lifetime
partners, may have helped to cure the
folly. 1t has been found that doll-ba-
bies are of but little worth in the strug-
gle of life, and capacity on the part OF
woman to sweep out drawing-room
without fainting, and to make loaf of
bread not sour nor soggy is of more
Importance than the satin in the cheek,
which the fingers of diphtheria may un-
ravel, or the color of the hair which
one strong grip of fever may pull out
There is cause for congratulation in the
fact that woman's physical condition is
rising, but there is room yet for higher
stages of progress. A race of weak
women will make race of puny men.

A French Philanthroplst.

A sound scheme of philanthropy has
been carried out with good results by
NJ Felix Deleuze, gentleman of for
tune in Paris, who some years ago, be-
reft of wife and children, adopted six
teen orphan girls. These he installed
in his fine but desolate house under
suitable staff of governesses, and had
them educated carefully under his own
supervision. Two of the girls, now
grown to be women, were happily mar
ried last year, three more, attended by
nine of their companions, were welded
at triple ceremony this spring and
two have taken the veil. Each girl is
presented with 1000 and an excellent
trousseau on her wedding day, but as
the magnificent fortune of their bene-
factor is not to become their property,
they are brought up with no luxurious
tastes or extravagant expectations -
