CnnnIbalIsm In SaRhalien.

The Vladivostock, a newspaper pub lished in eastern Siberia, reveals terri ble state of affairs among the convicts on the island of Saghalien. It would ap- pear that the convicts there have been treated by some of the subordinate prison authorities so harshly that the governor of the island has been obliged to inter fere for their protection.
 A warden named Khanof and some of his assistants, who at one time were convicts themselves and had been raised to the rank of jsilers, have been removed from their posts. Khanoff's treatment of the prisoners was so abominable that a number of them crippled themselves, cutting off fingers and toes, in order to be treated as invalids and to be freed from his terrible cruelties. Others fled to the impenetrable forest, where they suffered all the horrors of hunger.
 In satchel belonging to a fugitive convict who had been hunted down were found some pieces of human flesh. Investigation revealed that this man had been one of a party of four, and that only one of them now remained. The others had been killed and devoured by their comrades. Similar cases of canni. balism are, according to the Siberian journal, not infrequent.

In Frozen Runsia.

In Russia, where the cold is very in- tense, the markets are very curious things. The meat is frozen; the carcases of dead animals, as sheep and pigs, stand upright outside the stalls; everything, even game and poultry, requires to be thawed before it can be cooked. and the market peoples dress is as picturesque as it is warm and comfortable.
 Then the rivers are frozen over all the winter long, and so thick is the ice that every one can skate, anywhere and any time. Stalls are put up on the ice and busy markets held there.
 In the Asiatic part of Russia the peo- pie live chiefly by hunting and fishing, and the fur of the Russian animals is very beautiful-the ermine, fox, sable, sea otter and others.
 At the end of the winter, when the snow melts, the huntsman pursues the elk, wearing long shoes, in which he can glide over the snow very quickly, while the poor elk sinks into the snow deeper and deeper every step and is at last overtaken and Hlled.-Good Words.
