SETOG &IELS OF PAEIS HOW THE POOR SEAMSTRESSES OF THE GAY CITY LIVE. EIGHT PERSONS BURNED. An Entire Family Knvelopeil In Flames by an K\plaiiioii or l.aAollne. A despatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says:â€" The family of Jacob Ciclecz, of 66 Canal street was almost completely wijied out of existence on Fl-iday morn- ing by fire. Eight persons were burn- ed, and it is thoojgbt five wiU die. The injured are at th« Cleveland General Hospital. Jacob Ciclecz, his wife and three chil- dren, aged three, two and one years, yrexe in bed. ilohn Ciclecz, a brother of Jacob, arose about 5 o'clock to light the fire. He took what he thought was the kerosene can. Insleotl he got hold of the giisoline can. He poured it on the kindling and tom-hed a match to the stuff, in an instant there was an explosion. Jphn Ciclecz wa.-* hurled to the end of the room, his clothing catching fire. The fire communicated to the feather bed, in which were Mrs. Jacob Ciclecz, the three children and another woman. Jacob Ciclecz was al- so in I be same room at the time of the explosion. Willi iheir clothing all ablaze, the faWtier, mother and the other woman seizeil the three children and ran out intotjio yard.

There are 65,000 sewing girls in Paris, Of these 5,000 receive a living wage. Of the remaining 60,000 a. large number live with permts or friends, whose combined efforts prolong on honest ex- istence that is never far removed from starvation. As many more, "after suffering all that can be suffered in this world," give up the unequal con- test and by slow stances enter that female throng which patrols every Paris street by night, not as maidens and not as wives. A few find their way into the Seine. The work of these sewing girls is a.lmQSt entirely taken up by those who deal in ladies' costumes â€" in dressmak- ing and linen wear, in embroidery, mil- linery, artificial flowers, and feathers. The work lasts eight months at most. When the pleasant days of summer oome and the rich go off to mountain or seashore, the mountain girls, too, axe at leisure. Only they must live until the autumn and winter fashions are in dema,nd on what they have sav- ed from their scanty wages. It is for them "the dead season " while oth- ers are enjoying life ; and they are 20 years old. Suppose, which is rarely the case, that the young girl earns 4 francs, or 80 cents, a day while work is on. Counting out the Sundays and legal holidays, she has a littlje less than Z'^0 a month. OC 11118 she must pay at least 9- ioi her room â€" very smaJl, up under the roof, and without fire. She must make 92 more do for her washing and the absolutely necessary repairs of her toilet. Then she may succeed in cutting down her total expenses of food and drink to 40 cents a day or 91:2 for the months She widl thus be able to lay aside 9^ a month during the eight months while work holds on, against the dead season. This sup- poses ihat she buys nothing new for her own dress, although even the cos- tumes of sewing gir.s wear out sooner or later. And she must deprive her- self of every amusement that costs the lea^ sum of money^of books and ex- curaions, of music and the thea.tr»â€" the whole year round. It is bard, in Paris, at 20 years of age. At best, thiLOi, these sewing girls reach the dead seo.'ion with 932 saved up to meet it. As it lasts four months and their necessary expenses go on aX the rajte of 918 a montli, they have a very pretty problem in economy be- fore them. If, as happens to many, tbey have been earuiug only seventy cents a daor, or, as with beginners, only sixty, the readju'^lment of their mode of living preseurts yet nicer difficul- ties. There are various way of solv- img them. in a big shop near tbe luxurious Opera, toward tne end of the dead sea- sun, when tourists start up trade by having iheir dr«s.<anaking done in Paxis oefore sailing homeward, a young girl asked for work. "We have none at present," was tbe answer. Shu turned in silence to go away, when she staggered and would have fallen. She w<i« made to sit down, and the kindly forewoman questioned her closely. 'I am very hungry," she .saj.d at last; and then, now that the bounds were broken, she added, blu'^hiiig: "Oh, mar- dame, ilt is .so long since I have been able to change my luien I" It is well to know the details ot this economy in food which has to be practised by so many young girls that never know what it is to eat according lo their hunger. Their first step is naturajiy to try to get cre- dit from the creamery and oakery. This does not last long, and it only adds painfully to the next year's bur- den. The lodging house and eating house never give anything on trust. \Vhen the credit has run out, retrench- ments have to be made, not in the superfluities, but in the ueces.saries of life. So far the "little breakfast" â€" the warm mouthful taJien in the morn- vng to stay the stomach till the noon- day lunchâ€" had couiiled for about three cents in the day's expenses. Ot this, two cents are sjieat for a bowl of hot miik or of milk and coffee, accord- ing to taste, with one cent for a roll or piece ot bread. It is hard for a young stomach to remain empty until noon, but hard- er things are to come. This is when the noonday meej itself has to be cut down. The glass of cheap wine and the little cup of black cofioe, without which even the French poor scarcely think It hey can eajt, go first. If things come to the worst, meat also has to be dispensed with. Then the meal win I consist of two cents' worth of bread and a few more cents for hot potatoes or bean-s â€" starchy food that 13 filling and deceives tho hunger. And at the very worst, the two cents' worth of bread have to do alone, eat- en whiile walking about that the misery may not be betrayed. Some- times, for here superlatives are want- ing, starvation only marking the limit, the noonday meail is .simply replaced by sitting m a public .squsxe for half an hour, or, when the weather io bad, in a church. In the evening, when something must be eaten, the bread is eked out with cheap sausages from the. pork but- cher, Yr a potato stew, into which a bit of meat is throwrn to give it a taste. In this way some of th,fse young girls manage to reduce their expenses for food to 10 ce.nt3 a day. When hun- ger gnaws too sharply they can stay the whole day in bed. It is the dan- gerous time for their youth and inex- perience, with the glad summer all around them. They are never so open to the delusions of kind smiles and wojrd3 of sympathy. "The weaker ones among us," says one who has had experience, "listen to the demon and fail. I think you cannot be ignoraat of this. For us, who arc the little tools of the great workshops of Paridf tltrma aMB aecretv." The Biirong hold their .souls in pa- tience. A young girl was in tlM hanit of taking her evening meal in a boarding house and her luncheon at the shop where .she worked. As the dead season advanced the shop re- duced the glris to half work and sup- pressed the luncheon. She made no change, and it was only after two weeks that her failing strength made it impos-sible for her to conceal that she was eating but once a day. In another shop the girls were accustomed to bring their iuucheon with them. One came every day, like the rest, with her little basket. After awhile it was noticed that the basket never had any- thing in it. Is it a wonder that consump- tion finds its richest harvest among these girls, who should be as flowers only oiiening to the joys of life ? Of course, the quick feminine wdt finds ways and means out of this slow agony which men would scarcely dream of, juat as the woman's endurance holds out longer. Two or three friends will do their cooking together, for this food in common costs less and goes further. Then the big shops pay more attention to their good workers than they once did, and manage to BLCOE-CDEDLIIGCRDSLTI HOW PRISONERS ARE TREATED IN SPANISH PBISONS. â-  The Burran af ihe inqalklllun Kevlved bf JadKO lo F»rce Prtsvurn to Vomttiuâ€" U-rpt a Man Awake ElKht Day*, aad Torn the KmIIh Froat HU Flnaiera. A great sensation has been created in Madrid by the arrival of £nglish, French and German papers of the moat reputable character, containing blood- curdling accounts of tbe cruelties to which prisoners are subjected with th* full sanction of the authorities, not alone in Cuba or the Phillippioe It- lands, where the torments of the in- quisition have been revived for political offenders, but right in Spain â€" at Bar- celona, Saragassa, Cadiz and tictuaUy in Madrid. There have long been rumours cur- rent that judges and magistrates were resorting to methods contrary to cir- ilization and humanity in order to ex>- tort confessions from prisoners. But no native paper had until recently dared keep many on at haOf work. Or the to print what has now become known employers and forewomen give out their own and their famiiiiM' clothes to be made at this time ; and tbey allow the poor girls to fill in the workshops the poor little orders they may have got for thems^vQs. Aunts and cousins and friends can pt^y something for the making of tneir common gowns, and every little helps. This is even given as the reason why aU the women of Paris dress in the fashion. The cheap gowns of the telephone girls are made by the same hands as those of the rich ladv who descends from her car- nage. Of laSje years, also, the multi- plication of ready-made clothing shops of all kinds increasea the chanoe of earning a pittance in the dead season. So fax it is religious charity that does the most to lighten the burden of these brave young women who wish through the intervention of the for- eign press.

The British and Afriosn Company's steamship U:ikona, which has reached having been unchained from the wrall, was forced to trot round and round the prison yard, being unmercifully slashed on the bare back with rawhide whips. He was kept thus trotting until he fainted from pain and fatigue. Then he was taken bock to bis call and burnt about the hips and lower part uf tbe body with a redhot iron until he re- covered consciousness. In spite of t heae tortures the nuin escaped conviction.

In Madrid a prisoner named Callis, from whom it was desired tu obtain a confession incriminating his associataa, was not allowed for eight days and nights to sleep or eat, and had each one of the nails of his hands firat of all pried up and then pulled out with pincers. At Cadiz a prisoner named Nogia has become a raving maniac in cuusaquence of the torments to which he was sub- jected by having his head compressed in a steel frame. In that instance the magistrates did not even make any pre- tense of concealing the fact that they were condemning the prisoner to tor- ture. Refusing to answer in court in a manner satisfactory to the judges, he was taken tu an adjoining apart- ment, whence a few momenis after- wards bloodcurdling screams were heard â€" screams of such a character that the Spanish pul>lio, callous as it is to suffering, revolted and raised such cries of ' shame !" and ' assassin !" that the juiiges ordered them all cleared by tbe police. These are only a few of the Instances recorded. But they serve to convey an idea of the extent to which Spain is still steeped, not only abroad, but also at home, in mediaeval barbarism â€" a barbarism which can only be ai-count- ed for by the presence in the lilood of its people of the old strain ot the cruel Moors, from whuiii ihey are lo bea great extent leecendeo. U is to this Moor- ish strain that those who know Spain best were wont to attribute the intense savagery that characterized the last Carlist civil war io Spain, when Inith sides vied with one another in disem- bowelling aU the women and mutilating all the men, living or dead, ju^t pre- cisely as if tbey bad heeA red Indians or Abyssinians. ed' on Feb. 1.

'I'rempeh begged hard to be allowed to go back to his country, and promised nwvep to do anything against the Eng- lish, or, as he expressed it, :igainst the "Gread Whit© Queen." He had no idea that, the white men cxiuld do such (treat things .IS they did. lu spetiking ol this ha said he no^v believed the white man could tiring the top to the bottom, morning that he could bring down the sky to touch the eorlh.
