Mrs. Richardson was'tireel; there was a pucker between her eyebrows that betokened perolexity as she bent above -the gridiron to turn the chicken. "Gertrude," she called, "what is the time--half after five?" "'A quarter to six," answered a voice from an adjoining room: and Gertrude Louis made her appearance, fair and fresh as a May blossom in her evening costume of olive crepe. "Hasn't Frank materialized yet?" she asked, going to the door a mo­ ment to look out into the wild March night. "No. I suppose he is calling upon Hiss Sharp, as usual," Mrs. Richard­ son said vexedly. "Call Genevieve and Idalia, dear. We won't wait supper any longer." Mrs. Richardson was just in the act of pouring the last cup of pale, fra­ grant tea, when a Arm step crushed the snow on the door-stone without, and the delinquent Frank entered, singing, in lugubrious tones-- "And your sins shall be counted in the end." "Whoever counts yours will have his hands full," exclaimed Genevieve Percy. "My good child, sins are not count­ ed by the handful, especially in cases like yours. A shovel is used," Frank retorted, as he hung up his coat and hat and came to the table. "What, Gertrude! You here? Why did you not telephone?" "I did," Gertrude replied, butter­ ing her tpast, "out not to Edna.M "What a . sharp remark," said Frank, at which exercrable pun everybody looked painfully solemn. "Edna and I have been to the "Musec," Frank ventured alter a brief pause. "There's a new attrac­ tion this, week--a genuine Simon- pure faquir from the torrid plains of distant India." "What is a faquir?" queried Ger­ trude, forgetting to remain on her dignity. Frank favored her with a look full of commiseration tor such ignorance. "A faquir, my unsophisticated maiden, is a very holy being, who performs no work, owns no superior, despises everybody and everything, and benefits the community by tying his wrists to his feet, spreading saw­ dust along his backbone, and trun­ dling himself along like a cart-wheel for a couple of hundred miles or so. Of course every one is anxious to have the honor of intertaining a man so holy as to roll into their presence doubled up like a hoop. So at a vast expense the proprietors of the 'Mu- see' have secured this wonderful creature -of whom I speak, and for 'positively one weqk onl^ he may be seen by the elite of Omaha, in daily exhibitions in the curio hall." "What does he look like?" asked Genevieve. "Well, his personal attractions are undeniable. His eyes are encircled by bands of white paint, his cheeks are a rich mustard yellow, a white streak decorates the bridge of his nose, and another surrounds his mouth. He is dressed in a flowing green and yellow robe, none too clean, and he carries a pair of tongs, with a brass dish at the end of them for the gifts his admirers bestow upon him." "What did you give him, Frank?" Idalia curiously aSked. Frank laug! ed uproariously. "t had Genevieve's carbolic ball in my pocket, and I stepped upon a chair and snapped it under his nose. He sneezed so violently that the tongs flew half way across the room; and as soon as he could speak he pronounced a curse upon me--in excellent En­ glish, too." "What was the curse?" said Ger­ trude. "That I should be shorn of my glory--or something to that effect- that everything I most valued would be taken from me; that I should wither from the face of the earth, root and branch." And the irrepres­ sible young man drew down the cor­ ners of his mouth and tried to look grave. "Your glory! That means your latest acquisition, of course," Gen­ evieve commented, with a glance at the silky black mustache on Frank's upper lip. "What would you do, Frank, if that faquir should trundle himself out here some night, and in the morning you missed your mus­ tache?" "Advertise in the Herald," an­ swered Frank, unhesitatingly. "Let the subject drop, mv son," 6aid his mother, wearilw "Will you have a doughnut?" "Do not be eross, motherkin," the scapegrace said, as he helped himself liberally and passed the plate on to Gertrude, who bit her lips to keep from laughing. Pleasanter people than Mr. and Mrs. Richardson it would be difficult tq find in all Omaha. Their cozy residence was charmingly located near Hanscom Park, the loveliest bit of green wood in the 2ity. Born and bred under the sunny skies of Virginia, and inheriting all the warm-heartedness and genial hospitality characteristic of Southern people, it was no wonder the Ricbard- sons were general favorites, and their beautiful home a gathering place for young people, especially. Having no daughter of her own, Mrs. Richardson was never thoroughly happy without a houseful of girls, and made them welcome at all timfcs. Gertrude Louis was a special favor- It® with her, and frequently dropped in to spend the evening with the two boarders--or adopted daughters, for such they were made to feel thern- seKes--Idalia Reed and Genevieve Percy. As Gertrude was something of aj flirt, on such occasions she ex- pecte(i Frank to be in attendance, and relented any neglect on his part. To-night, the four young people were in the wildest spirits. Nothing would do but they must visit the Musee and see the wonderful faquir, so Frank good-naturedlv escorted them thither. Idalia and Genevieve shrank back from tire repulsive looking object whom tne crowd about the rostrum were admiring.. Gertrude, however, favored the holy hermit of India with one of her most ravishing smiles, and dropped something wrapped in tissue paper into the brass dish. The scowl with which the faquir was regarding France faded into a grin of delight as he unfolded the package. <4I believe Gertrude would flirt with a Hottentot/' said Frank, indig­ nantly, to Genevieve. "Some one should inform the Bruce. You wotft be a ttonny Scotcty lassie, after all. it you are not careful," addressing Miss Louis, who tossed her head con­ temptuously ana deigned no reply. Not in the slightest degree abashed, Frank rattled on,-- "The Bruce says you remind flint of a beautiful swan, Gertrude. Rather equivocal praise, that--intimating you are nearly all neck. I don't think much of Scotch compliments, do you, Genevieve?" ' "Oh, do be quiet!" said Genevieve. "We shall not catch the car unless we hurrv and it is nearly 10 now." 'They did not catch the car, how­ ever,and were soon at home entertain­ ing Mrs. Richardson with an account of the faquir. * » * » » « » Frank was late down to breakfast next morning, but when he Anally appeared the three girls gave three simultaneous shrieks, and his mother stared at him. "Shorn of his glory!" gasped Gene­ vieve. "The faquir's curse ful­ filled!" "Ah, young lady, that remark has betrayed you!" exclaimed Frank, tri­ umphantly. "How?" asked Genevieve amaz- edly. "Why, some one cut my mustache with a pair of scissors, last night, after I had fallen asleep upon the sofa in the front hall. I could have sworn I heard the rustle of a silken gown and felt the cold steel touch my face. When I awoke the outer door stood ajar and there was silted sleet all over the hall carpet. 1 went up­ stairs to my room, and found a va­ cancy on my upper lip. Cbtifession is good for the soul, so make itViean breast of it, Genevieve Percy." \ "There is a greater void in your head than op your lip if you thi^k I had anything to do with it," retorted Genevieve, scornfully. "I was asleep before the clock struck 11. Beside, I am not fond of having freaks around me, and you are more of a curiosity now than the faquir himself." "It serves you right; for that habit, of going to sleep on the sofa instead of retiring properly is most absurd," said Idalia, her beautiful eyes alight with laughter, as she marked Frank's rueful expression. "Johnny did it, perhaps--or Ritchie. You and Ger­ trude played a hateful trick on him once." "No, it was the faquir," cried Genevieve, clapping her hands. "He has fulfilled his own curse and taken revenge for that sneeze." ° The whole family joined in her mprrv laughter and the room rang with peals of mirth. "I advise a shave, Frank," said Gertrude, maliciously. "After lunch we'll go down to the Musee and look for your mustache." "On my soul, I believe you were all in the conspiracy!" exclaimed Frank, as he swallowed his coffee, and then, seizing his hat, rushed off to the nearest tonsorial parlors. The usual throng surrounded the rostrum that afternoon as the quar­ tette entered the curio hall. But the faquir was evidently on the lookout for them. A smile made his paint- besmeared face more hideous tha n before, as he extended the tongs toward Frank. The girls pressed close behind him, arid, looking over his shoulder, saw two jagged bits of black hair reposing calmly in the brass dish. Frank turned to look into Ger­ trude's crimson face, and an expres­ sion of enlightenment dawned in his eyes. "Ah! The flirtation--the inno­ cent package--1 thijnk I understand,' he said in^hei/ear. \"What will the Bruce say?" v.Jf "You won't tell?" gasped Gertrude, her self possession deserting her in this crisis, and her eyes drooping be­ neath the astonished gaze of Gene­ vieve and Idalia. "I'll hear your confession first," said Frank enjoying her confusion. "Will you, indeed?" pluckily. "Then you'll wait a long time, and I have nothing to fear. A promise is a promise." Not a syllable could Frank get out of her, although he tormented her with questions all the way home. As for Idalia and Genevieve, never having been in her confidence, they were utterly dumfouuded at the denouement, for they had be­ lieved some of Frank's madcap friends the perpetrators of the joke until they looked into the faqhir's brass dish. Gertrude told them all about it that night. In the supposed faquir she had recognized a vagabond quarry- man who used to blast in the quar­ ries near pysan Hollow some years previous.. The scheme had instantly flashed through her brain, and, snatching a moment when she was unobserved, she scribbled ^ few lines on a leaf torn from her note­ book, and wrapping it around a gold dollar dropped it into the dish. Obedient to instructions, the faquir had entered the house by the un­ latched door, and finding everything as represented-^--Frank sound aslesp on the sofa and a pair of seizors on the hat-rack--lost no time in per­ forming his appointed task and tak­ ing his departure., The trip to the Musee next day was a part of the plan, but Gertrude had not counted on such swift detection. The Richardsons enjoyed the joke, when it was made knowD to them,' although Mrs. Richardson was con­ siderably horrified at Gertrude's im­ prudence in giving a vagabond like that access to the house. . Frank loses no opportunity of tormenting Gertryde and threatening to tell the Bruce. But it is simply talk, for "the Bruce,"a tawny Highlander, and one of Miss Louis' warmest admirers, is still in blisssful ignorance of the faquir's curse.--Waverley Magazine. Mot to Be florae. That dogs arc affectionate is univer­ sally allowed, and that they are jeal­ ous no observer can doubt; but that a dog may show true philosophy in ac­ cepting a hard, situation is occasion­ ally proved. Says the London-Specta­ tor. A young man had for some years owned a dog which was his constant companion. Recently, however, he married, and moved with his wife and dog into a house on the opposite side of the street from his father's house, his old home. The dog was not hippy, for atten­ tion-. which had once been his own were now given to the young wife. His piaster tried to reconcile him to the altered state of things, and the bride endeavored to win his affection, but he constantly showed his dis­ pleasure and misery. One day the master camp borne and sat down, putting his arms about his wife. Jack was lying by the fire, and he at once rose, approached the two, and made the usual exhibition of his disapproval. "Why, Jack!" said the master. "This is all right. She is a good girl." and as he spoke he patted his wife's arm. , Jacklookedupathim, turned away, and left the room. In a moment they heard a noise, and going into the haii, found him dragging his bed downstairs. He reached the front door, and whined to be lot out. The door was opened, and he dragged his bed down the steps, and across the street to his old home, where he scratched for admittance. Since then he has never returned to his master, and has refused all overtures toward reconciliation. KOMIM Nobility. The Russian nobility is constitu­ tionally not an exclusive caste. There is constant fluctuation in its numbers. Persons of the lower classes are often raised to nobility if they make them­ selves deserving in the Government service, and nobles are degraded if for the commission of crime the courts deprive them of their "titles and pre­ ferences." A complaint has reached the Senate that an assembly of no­ bles had refused to enter upon their rolls the names of persons recently raised to their station. Upon further inquiry it. was found that the assem­ blies of many districts had made it a practice to do the same. When a person who had been made a noble sought for admission into their coun­ cils they would decide Ills case ballot. If he did not receive a sulti cient number of votes he was ex­ cluded from their rolls and assem biies. The "pedigree nobility" have zealously watched over such ballots and taken care that no new-made noble should be admitted into their circle. The Senate, therefore, de­ cided that as soon as any person is admitted to the privilege of nobility he becomes defacto a member of the assembly of nobles of his district, is the duty of the assembly to enter his name upon their rolls and to notify him of the constitutional and special meetings held by their body. They have no option in this matter, and their balloting for new candi­ dates is a mere farce. . V# "Autnenat" mm • Lecturer. In 1852 Doctor Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered in various cities a course of lectures on the "English Poets of the Nineteenth Century." He was much in demand, and for several years traveled about the country actively during the lecture season. He stated his lecturing terms in a letter to a certain official as fol­ lows: "My terms for a lecture, when stay overnight, are$15 and expenses, a room with a fire in it, in a public house, and a mattress to sleep on-- not a feather-bed. "As you write in your individual capacity, I tell you at once my habit­ ual exigencies. I am afraid "to sleep in a cold room; I can't sleep on feather-bed; I will not go to private houses." Doctor Holmes' landlady had the following observations to make on this period in his career: "He was a man that loved to stick round home as much as any cat you ever see in your life. He used to say he'd as lief have a tooth pulled as to go away anywheres. Always got sick, he said, when he went away, and never sick when he didn't. "Pretty nigh killed himself goin' about lecturin' two or three winters, but he got nigh enough of it, and said he preferred natural death to puttin' himself out of the world by such violent means as lecterin'." Motion or Uleetrtelty in Wlrea, Kirchoff, in his paper on Motion of Electricity in Wires, first showed in 1857 that, under certain conditions, electricity moves in a thin wire ac­ cording to the laws of wave motion and with a velocity about equal to that of light. This, however, is only true of straight wires stretched in the air. He found that if the wire be in a zig-zag form, or wound in a spiral, the velocity of propagation ex­ ceeded tliat of light. Prof. J. Stephan has recently been studying the same question, using the method of Hertz, that is, of producing sta­ tionary waves and comparing the length of the waves in straight wires with th^se in circuits. He finds them longer in the latter than in the former, and the increased velocity of propagation in the latter ovpr light, much greater than that given by Kir­ choff or Wheatstone, who has alto in­ vestigated the subject.
