A Trapper's Life.
The winter, though not without its ex- j
citements, is a long and lonely one, and

fee no living soul and have only youi
dog for company. Very likely, too,you
may be poorly paid for your time. I
trapped one whole winter and only
caught four marten by my land trapping.
After I had been at it for a time I saw
that there were no marten in the country,
and as I happened to have two No. 4
traps with me, I started trappiug otter
and caught thirty-seven during the
winter.
When the trapping is at an end, you
begin to think of getting your fur to
market. The skins must first be got out
to your canoe, if you are trapping on the
coast or a large river, or else out to some
settlement. The furs are made up into
r>f n B17P rr>nvr>nipnt for packing
and carried out, a cache being made of
your first load if you have to make two
or more trips. Then your canoe is
stowed and you set sail for your market,
which on this northern coast is generally
Victoria, where the skins are sold at auction.
Nothing definite can be said about the
returns in this business. Much depends
on the skill and industry of the trapper,
and quite as much on the abundance or
scarcity of the fur. ^bout the best
winter I ever made in lnnd trapping was
twenty fishers and from 180 to 190 marten.
Besides this iegular fur a man may
pick up odds and ends by steel traps
and poison; a bear or two, a few wolves,
perhaps a wolverine. These would bring
in a lew dollars in addition to the
regular catch. Then, too, a man may
have an opportunity on his way down
the coast to catch a few otter or bear or
- < r lil. .V. _
to traue lor a icw iurs wuu uiu xuumus,
but on the whole, even in the best of
years, a man got but small return for a
season which lasted perhaps from August
1 to June 1.?Forat and Stream.
Does the Moon Cause Earthquakes?
"With regard to the phases of the
moon's motions, M. Brisoo found that in
four years, 1886 to 1S90, the number of
earthquakes near new and full moons,
exceeded the number at the quarters I
very nearly in the proportion of six to
four. In a cumber of exceedingly
elaborate calculations M. Brisco has endeavored
to show that, however the figures
were handled, they always present
the same general conclusions; but there
are not as yet sufficient facts to justify
more than a passing allusion to this
curious speculation. It does, however,
appear to be an inevitable deduction
from the evidence, not only that earth- j
quakes occur more frequently at the j
periods of new and full moon, but that !
their frequency increase at the time when
the moon is nearest the earth and diminish
when it is most distant; and, moreover,
thit earthquake shocks are more
frequent when the moon is near tho ;
meridian that wheu she is ninety de- I
grees from it. M. Perrey, the French j
scientist, tried to figure out some connection
between moon phases and earth
quakes as long ago as 18-4-1.?St. Loui

important and practical conclusions: 1.
The air of an island, even when of considerable
size, contains fewer bacteria
than the mainland. 2. When the wind
Is off the sea the number of bacteria is
enormously decreased. 3. A comparatively
narrow arm of the sea is sufficient
to purify the air blowing over it. 4.
Atmospheric bacteria increase in proportion
to the velocity of the wind. 5.

Women are in great uemiiuu. nowadays

a lawyer the other day. 4-Almost all v
tho law firms employ a man solely to c
serve papers, but often the server runs I
up against some individual whom it is
impossible for hir? to get at. Women p
are especially hard to serve. I had a z
case the other day in which I spent a -v
great deal of money and was very much a
annoyed by the delay caused by my
man's failure to serve a female defendant f
in a case where personal service was
necessary. t
4'One of my clerks said that he
thought that he could have the paper v
served. Sure enough, he came back the
next day with an affidavit of service and
told me that a young woman friend !
served the paper. Since then, whenever 1
I have a difficult case of that kind I call I
the young woman to my assistance. The c

DRESS rNG THE NECK. s
One of the lessons that womsn l&arn
most slowly involve the advantageous t
dressing of the neck. We know what [
an abomination to the eye is a bared bony i
and scrawny neck. Yet they are very *
numerous and very conspicuous on every ?
full-dress occasion. What these womcu I
require is a yard of beads, a pendant i
necklace, a ruff of fur, flowers or fringe,
or a collar as near her ear-holes a3 it can {
be fitted. The lines which uge first ,
draws around the throat can always be J
concealed by a velvet collarette to which ?
anything can be appliqued?beads, me- j
dalions, miniatures, cuff buttons,flowers, (
broochcs and even rings. Then there (
are passementerie bands in every width,
jeweled with mediaeval, Egyptian and
modern effects that are very pretty. The
Medici flat collars, with their broidery of
mock gems, are not expensive, and, if j
undesirable, a scarf of diaphanous gauze ]
may be artfully arranged and pierced ]
with a drifrorer or nnaint i

THE PROMISE CIRCLET.
Whilo a young man's fancy id lightly
turning to thoughts of love, a young
woman's fancy is turning to thoughts of
an engagement ring. i
What shall be the material, what the
style, what the emblem and what the de- '
sign of this, the band which is to mark
her betrothal finger? The heart-shaped
designs which were the pride and the ,
delight of our grandparents have come J
in again with all the vehemence of which
the spring season of 1891 is capable.
Yet there is a certaiu design for an en
Mrrnmont. rin<r which is in delicacv of
| b"pv,,,v"" ? ?/ -j
conception so much above and beyond
I the merely ornamental heart-shaped ring
j that the latter has shrunk into insig1
nificance by the side of it.
The new design is this: A large, peri
fectly clear, somewhat flat diamond is
I selected, and underneath It is placed the
| likeness of the dearest boy on earth.
: Ground tho face, as it sparkleB forth
from the depths of the diamond, is a
rr\Tt7 nf finu pmornMg Thfi nf
Btoues to surround the diamonds is purely <
arbitrary. Just now emeralds are chosen
because they are dearer than turquoise,
jearls or any other gems, save diamonds
;hemselve8.
To get quite even with her young j
nan for this reckless and lavish expendiure,
and also to carry out the law which
egulates the general fitness and equality
)f things, the young woman sends the ^
roung man a jeweled likeness of herself.
Lnd this is the way she does it. In the
:nd of a gold lead pencil she has a dianond
6et similar to that in her ring,
md, underneath it, goes her own fair
ace. The young man fastens the pen- h
:il upon his watch chain, and both of *
he twain?the ardent lover and the a
oaiden fair?are ready for any and all *
imergencies, for each bears a talisman i'
hat will exorcise all evils save those of A

on the identity of our raco
with the Hebrew race, discoverer of the
jxact date of Joshua's long day, und
reader of Scriptural prophecy, now submits
an "ominous exegesis," based on
Scriptural texts, in which, by a mathematical
computation, he has arrived at a
prediction that the end of the world will
some in March, 1899. Hia exegesis is
is follows: j
Now when these things begin to come to <

" A FAMOUS FAIR.
iUSSIA'S COSMOPOLITAN MARX
AT NIJNI NOVGOROD.
L Ptace Where Merchants Prom
Evei-v Clime Meet lor Commer
cial Exchange?The Town and
Its Bazaar?Tea Tippling.
The union of the Oka with the Volga,
nth long and navigable rivers, makes
Jijni Novgorod a place of importance
nd & mart of trade. The former river
uns eight hundred miles before it pours
ito the Volga, anu the united streams
!ow two thousand miles together before
hey enter the Caspian Sea. By these
raterways the extreme north, the shores
f the White Sea and the Baltic, are
inked to the great southern countries of
lussia which lie upon the Black Sea,
Lzof and the Caspian. It is not wonderful
bat mercantile interest, ever keen to recgnize
the value of position, should have
eized upon the junction of these two
reat rivers for the establishment of an
aternational commercial exchange. As
arly as the middle of the fourteenth cenury
Nijni had its fair, but the present
azaar, which is very extensive and elabrate,
was built in 1824 to replace the
uildings destroyed by fire eight years
efore. The bazaar is built on the plain
f the northern bank of the Volga, a
uge sandy expanse, and consists of a
sng mass of houses, twelve long rows
rranged in regular lines, and divided
ato four equal parts by transverse
treets. This is the centre or kernel of
he fair, which was erected and is still
wned by the Government. It contains
letween five hundred and six hundred
hops. Beyond aud around this bazaai
re thousands of buildings of brick, wood
nd mats, red and yellow and green ic
olor, and stretching out in every direcion.
The bazaar is surrounded on three sides
iy a canal crossed by a number of bridges,
nd on the fourth side there is an open
quare, in which are the residences of the
Jovernor and the other officials. The
rhole enclosure is thoroughly drained,
nd these stone drains are flmhed twicc
, day during the continuance of the fair.
Ldmirable arrangements are also made
or preventing and putting out fires, and
10 one is allowed to smoke within the
imits of the fair.
Here are shops with the choicest furs
rom Siberia, silks from Per.-ia and preious
stones from the Oral Mountains, toother
with fancy goods from England,
Germany and France, gems from India,
Arnnmenfa onri n^rfiimpa frnm Onn
tantinople. The Chinese quarter has a
[ueer look, its houses being all builtwith
irojecting roofs, with bells at the coriers,
and covered with yellow paint and
;ilded characters. Here are to be found
he offices of the great tea merchants
nth their samples, the warehouses filled
?ith vast stores being on the Siberian
uay. Tea is the great staple of the fair,
ron and silks and cotton and Caucasiun
oods have a large place in the market,
ut in spite of the supply by water ol
,'anton tea, the Kiakhta which comes sis
bousands versts overland, and takes eigheen
months in transit, still rules at Nijni.
Ve visited a tea merchant and sampled bis
ca. It is packed in a case of lead, which is
irotected by a paperea woouen cnesi,
rhich is again packed in a strong oowide
covering with the hair on. Our
bopkeeper had the cowhide covering
nfastened, and then with a long steel
uger in which there were an oblong
;roove and a very sharp point, he bored
nto the centre of the chest. When
mlled out the groove of the auger wa?
all of tea. A professional buyer testa
he tea by rolling the leaves in his fingers
,nd then smelling of them; sometimes
lso he chews a few leaves. We preerred
to take our little package to
he hotel, and we found it a deliriously
lavored black tea. The cost was less
han half a dollar a pound.
Tea drinking is the universal habit in
lussia. My guide in the Adirondack
:ould never build his fire in the morning
ill he had taken a "chaw of terbacker";
,nd Sulieman upon the desert was good
or nothing before his coffee and pipe;
o my Russian servant, like all of his
ountrymen, swallowed hot tea a3 soon
3 he awoke, and repeated the act a
lozen times a day. Tea houses are as
:ommon in St. Petersburg and Moscow
o ??c..lr>nr>a1' am in "Wow York or Chicago.
The "samovar" is the household god,
.nd no peasant is so poor as to be with>ut
one, though he may be destitute of
hoes and have no clothes besides those
fhich are upon his body. There are forty
nakers of samovars in Toula alone, and
>000 dozens are sold in Nijni every year.
The samovar is a larg? urn made of brass
>r copper, With a tube running through
he centre, in which charcoal is placcd
ind lighted. This burning charcoal, like
he sacred fire in the Jewish temple, is
lever allowed to go out, and heuce the
vater around the tube is always hot.
The teapot stands upon the top ot the
amovar. A scoop of tea is put in the
eapot, the boiling water from the 6amorar
is turned upon it; the infusion is in<
itantly poured into a glass tumbler, and
