Iritlio Lon don earthquake of 174!, roach and other fish in a canal showed evident feigns of confusion and fright: and bometimes after an earthquake ti?;li rio to tho sur face dead and living. During tho Tokio earthquake of 1SS0, cats iuhido a house ran about trying to escape, foxes barked, horses tried to kick down the boards confining them to their Ftables. There can, therefore, be no doubt that animals know something un usual and terrifying is taking place. Moro interesting than these aro tho ob servations showing that animals aro agi tated just before an earthquake. Ponies Lave beeu knowif- prance about their stalls, pheasants to tcream. and frogs to cease croaking suddenly a little time bo fore a shock, as if aware of its coming. The Japanese say that moles show their agitation by burrowing. Geese, pigs and dogs apiear more sensitive in this respect than other animals. After tho great Calabriau earthquake It is said that the neighing of a horse, thcrbrayingof an ass, or t bo cackle of a gooso was sufficient to cause tho Inhabitants to fly from their houses in espectat ion of a shock. Many birds aro said to show their un easiness lK?fore an earthquake by hiding their heads under their wings and behav ing in an unusual manner. At tho time of theCalabrian shock, little fish like sand eels (cirrieclli). which are visually buried i;i the suiid, ramo to tho top and were caught in multitudes. In South Amer ica certain quadrupeds, such as dogs, cats and jerboas, aro, believed by tho peo ple to I'ive warning of coming danger by their rest k'ssiiiji-s; M!iictii:ic3 immense tlocks of sea birds fly inland before an earthquake, r.j if alarmed by tho com mencement of !o-:-( sub-oceanic disturb ance.

Such thing3 are not seen in British Honduras. The working classes make a comfortable riving, apparently without great exertion. The principal product of tho country now Is tho banana. Formerly Honduras, was a great sugar reducing country, and largo arc-as of land were devoted to rais ing sugar cane, but owing to low prices the crop became unprovable and the farmers havo' nearly all turned their at tention to the cultivation of bananas. Plantains and cocanuis. also flourish thero- Lemons and oranges aro cultivat ed to a very limited extent, and the Indians in tho interior of the country raise some corn. The banana crop, however, is the chief source of revenue in tho country,' and it is a very profit abla crop.

Of course you cannot cut or shoot a man dowu with impunity, and murder is sometimes as severely punished there as it is anywhere else; but what I mean to say is that it doesn't cost much to kill a man by accident. Yon frequently hear of cave' ins In mines or fractured skulls by falling down winzes or shafts, and the thought that comes to you natur ally is that the mine ownsrs have to pay 3,C0Q pr $10,000 damages.' That isn't so. X skjt w hile ago' four men were tilled in a' mine near Leadyillo. TLpy were Ital ians, and the widuws or families cf the men were more than delighted to receive $l.0C0 and tho funeral expenses. In the same mine more than ten men have been killed, and never more than $1,000 has been paid. Tho plan in hq vpst, when a man is killed til a nune and tbo Company is'eom?whftt to ' blame, is to go right to the heirs and make a settlement? Most of the laborers aro Italians, and their people take $1,000 as quickly as it is of fered. A. J. Gray in Uleb&i-DeiUOCi'ttt. s - - Indoor Game for Winter.

The result is that Lnglish girls are able to hi ing a move rocato bloom to their cheeks, to walk longer distances and to stand much more fatigue; they are, in fact, moro robust and havo better devel oped figures; and although there are, no doubtin Now York, or in any other large city of tho United States, n dozen women as perfectly beautiful iu form and faco as any chiseled by tho greatest artists, our American girls aro iu the main loss bright in cr.lor, more delicate and pale than would otherwise bo the c;'so if they moro stead fastly resorted to tho invigorating means of health, outdoor exercise, long since adopted by their English sisters, and to which, doubtless, the" latter owe their ex quisite forms and also the fact that they remain j-outhful in appearance much longer than our compatriots; in fact, an English woman of 40 looks younger than an American woman of 0 years; of course I do not now refer to women of the work- ing class. Frank Leslie. RiiHia'H New Ituitway Route. The Siberian Pacific railroad has not yet been commenced, and already a new Silcriau railway Is projected. It will bo called after the" river Obi. Its connection with tho bed of that stream and with a suitable port to tho west of Walgatz islaud will open a double new road to Si beria by laud and by water. It is pro pesed to "circumvent" the mouth of the river Obi, tho peninsula of Yalmal, and tho Kara sea, which aro difficult of access, owing to the masses of drifting ice. Tho new route will only bo 400 versts long, taking a northwesterly direction from the mouth of the river Obi to the AValgatz sea, in a bay of which a harbor is to be built. Tho site chosen for this harbor is sheltered from the wind by tho I'uo-Ch.cJ mountains. The country being level and well stud ded with forests, tho construction of tho line will offer little difficulty. Tho entire cost, including tho harbor. Is estimated at 20,000,000 rubles. Under existing- con ditions tho transport of jn&ichandiso to Barnaul, via Ttnneu, Perm, and St. Pe tersburg tq London takes three months, whereas by tho new lino two months will bo saved.
