three hundred people who Htnrled from
DawBon for Fort Yukon, were stranded
there, but moat of them procured small
bouts utitl continued on their wity to
Fort Vukon, which is ninety miles dis
tunt.
Circle City, owing to the unexpected
increase In population, wuh nlmoBt void
of grub. Of the 127 residents of thut
camp, nenrly till were calculating on
sondiiiR to Fort Yukon for supplies,
lirielly, wore it not for the supplies tit
Fort Yukon, which to a certuin extent
are an unknown quantity, the situation
nt Circle City would be far moro desper
ate than tit Dawson.
Joaquin Miller arrived tit Dawpon
from Circle City December 4th, at 11
o'clock, fie was very badly frozen,
having loBt a part of the great toe on his
left foot; his left ear wus shining oil' and
both cheeks were frozen. He left Circle
City 1(5 days before, in company with
Herald Conovon, of Ottawa, lute of the
coast survey. They started from Circle
City without dogs, having been unable
to secure them. They pulled their out
fits on sleds.
Mr. Miller brings u story of great suf
fering along the river by parties who
were caught on the ice on their wuy to
Dawson, but who had not yet reached
Circle City.
He reports also the death of Charles
Anderson, u young man from Urooklyu,
N. Y., who luxidentullv shot himself
while in u boat, about 50 miles above
Circle Citv.

Who goes to the club while her litis

lessness, fainting or dizzy spells. The
most wonderful remedy for these women
is Electric Bitters. Thousands of sutler

medicine for women. Female com
plaints and nervous troubles of all kinds
are soou relieved by the uso of Electric

level the downward cage struck, and
the engineer having no knowledge of the
trouble, continued to lower the 4-inch

A now olliee ha just been inaugurated
at, Windsor etixtle in connection with
the household of the queer. It is t.hat
of court telephonist, and the respon
sibility of the position may be con
ceived when it is borne in mind that the
(lueen does not herself speak over the
telephone or place her ear to the re
ceiver, deputing that to the newly ap
pointed court telephonist, who, accord
ingly, becomes initiated into every
secret nnd confidential matter that
pusses over the wire between her maj
esty and her ministers and ollieials.
I he court telephonist, who will rank
with Mr. Jliley, the court telegraphist,
is a son of the Into Gen. Sir George
Maude, known to so many American
tourists m London, an KUjwrintcntlciit
of the royal stables and crown equerry.
Young Mr. Maude, who is a relative of
Lord Mouttilt, has for some time past
been attached in a secretarial capacity
to the olliceof Sir Fleetwood Edwards,
Keeper of her majesty's private purse.
I he latter s colleague, Sir Art hur Uigge,
private secretary to the queen, by the
by, has become such an enthusiast
about the bicycle that he iu&ists on us
ing it even for conveying himself a few
hundred yards from one part of the
eastle to the other. Ixmdou Letter.
The "HiirH" of lusoctH.
The naturalisUs have not as yet been
able to answer the burning question:
"fan bees hear'.'" but tiheir loon relies
nlong that line have resulted iii many
queer di.seoveries. Simply because a
lice has no curs on the sides of his head
It is iionlgu w haicicr thai, he is u holl,
without home sort of mi auditory nerve..
This last assertion is proved by the
fact tllint grawhoppers, crickets, lo
custs and tiles all have their ears situ
ated in queer places- under the wings,
on tlio middle of the Ixxly and even on
the sides, of their legs. The common
house fly does his .hearing by means of
Koine little rovfs of corpuscles, wihicJi
ore situated on the Knobbed tlireada
whlcih occupy the place which nreliikpn
up by tJie hind wings of other specie
of insects. The garden nlug or shel
less spall has his organ of hearing
situated on each side of his neek, and
tJie common grasaliop)or has them on
each of lite broad, lint thighs. Iu some
of the smaller Insects they are nt the
bases of tihe wings, and in others on
the bottom of the feet."
