BY MJUY KVI.IC 11.41 1.1,
To boliovu the following otory, which
in rocouutud l>y u L iunch histoimn, one
must mu. inbor (hat tlu- word of n Hiu-
Man Emperor or Empress 1ms ulwuyB
been a very diffierent tiling from tlio
word of an English King or Queen ; nod
that where—asm this eiiHii—the Biitish
cabinet would decide that her miij-.-sly
was temporarily insane, tl.e liu.-.-iaii
lady would bo eoimidorod only a little
more nevere than her i>vedcccKBors.
In the time of Catherine tho Geoond,
there dwelt in Russia u gontleinuu
named Honderlan l, who, though Eugli.h
t.y birth, had become a Russian subject,
and also a great lavorito with the Em
press. Bho. loaded liim with favors ;
made him immensely wealthy; gave him
a palace to livo in, and embi'uood him
publicly.
What moro could a sovereign do to
thow her atV otion for a subj oi ?
Her partiality was so well-known that
the greatest people at Court sough) his
favor mid feared his fro,wn ; but lie was
a very pleasant and good-hearted per
son, who thought more of ids dress ap
pearance. and tho client lie produced oA
tho fair sex, than uuytliing c bo ; and it
was rather a beuelit to tlio community
Uiau oth.-rwiso that ho shell d Have the
cm. of tho Empress, lie, himself, was
perfectly happy, uud spent a great, deal
of his time m writing verses expressive
of thecharms of the Empress, her good
ness, and tlio amiability of her disp si-
tion,
One morning he had just finished a
most ilutlojiiig poem in several cautocs,
setting forth the story of her condescen
sion to a poor old soldier to whom she
bad really been kind, slid was rending it
to u select nudi nee, when n servant
entering tlio room, announced to him
that tlio Chief of tho Police, whose
Uiinio was Rcliew, desired to speak with
him, having a message irom tho Em
press.
Tlio poet instantly throw down his
pnp-r, and, delighted witlitliis proof of
confidence on tho part of tlio sovereign,
excused himself to his friends, and hur
ried to the room where Itoiiew was wait
ing for him.
The Chief of Police sat loaning back
in his chair, with u very grave face, and
minted the Englishman as a jailor might
salute a prisoner whom he was about to
lead to execution.
“What can‘T do for you, Reliow?”
asked Wonderland, with a condescending
twist of his mustache. “I soo you uro
in trouble, aud it was well to come t ime
at once. The Empress was kinder than
usual yesterday, and expressed herself
iimie anxious to take my advieo than slio
has ever done before; so have no fears. I
esteem you, Reliow. I considoi you my
best frieud.”
“Alii” said tho Chief of Police, doubt
fully. “And I am very sure I liavo a true
friendship for you; but I regret to say I
liuvo terrible news for you. You have
utterly lost the favor which bus been
yours so long. Indeed, though I may
not question the royal mandate, I suffer
terribly in bringing you tho nows. Hoe
hoiv pnio I am. Look how I tremblo.
Oh, how can I tell you ?”
“But liow have I offended?” asked
Sunderland. “Assuredly you nre mis-
tnkeu. The Empress kissed me on my
forehead last evening before tlio wliolo
Court.”
“So one loses tho favor of royalty,”
•dghc 1 Rcliew. “ Perhaps you have ad-
mired a pretty woman.”
“No, no,” replied Wonderland,
“The Empress told me nothing,” said
Reliow; “ nothing whatever. Who gave
me her commands, and bade mo accom
plish them at once. But they nre too
horrible! too horrible !”
“ Am I to bo sen t away ?” asked] Won
derland.
“You could bo very liappy in some
other countr}'. I should not dread giv
ing you that news,” replied Reliow.
“ Am I to be exiled to Siberia?” asked
Wonderland.
“In that ease there might be some
hope of your coming back,” replied Rc
liew.
“Then, good heavens! I am to be
whipped with tho knout,” sighed Son-
derland.
“ You might, get over that; it seldom
kill-.” answered tho Russian, moodily.
“ Then she wants my life,” said Won
derland. “But I know her better than
you do. I will fling myself at her feet
and implore her pardon. And, at all
events, one cm die but onco.”
“ Oil. niy poor friend 1” moaned Rc
liew, bursting into tears, “it is worse
than anything you can imagine, The
Empress has ordered me to have you
stuffed.”
“ What?” cried Wonderland.
“To ha vf it you stuffed," replied the
agitated Relicw. “ Liston, my poot
trioml. ThXmoruing she sent for me
“ ‘ Reliow,* she snid, ‘ you saw to the
shifting of my favorite horse, who died
last month ?’
“ I bow'd a id assented.
“ ‘ W md Wpnderlmd to tlm same taxi-
lennist mid have him stuffed, in at? atti
tude of supplication—begging, vou un
derstand—and placed upon a stand in
my privnle-apirlinent. Lot tlm stand
l»e elegant and bear bis name with those
words; “The Favorite of tlm Ftm
press.” •
. “ ‘Yonr rblvj os tv is good enough to
•ost,’ I Raid, humbly.
“Sim flashed a fierce glance nt mo.
“ Tam in no jesting humor. I valued
Idm,’slm said. ‘Look, I have even shod
tears ; but, m. I do not wish to see him
again. Take him to the taxidermist till i
morning. I will write my orders for
him and slm gave mo this paper and
ho handed lo poor Wonderland n paper
on whioh vi're written these words :
“Stuff Sondorland very onrofully and
set, him upon moss in the attifndo of
bogging. Bigin your work within the
hour. Gran' fts \vIS my affection for
p > r Sunderland, bis beauty was bis
greatest charm. There nro others ns
faithful and ns affectionate, and I slmll
now always have ldm to look at ; he is
certainly a Btdcndid creature. On mid
make all sp«ed possible. Havo tho word i
‘The Favorite iif the Empress,’in letters
of gold on a black p d t il tbreo foot in
h'iglil.”
“There, mv poor Wonderland, you
fi'p,” snid the Chief of Police, “it is not
T who have gone mad.”
“ Then it is the Einprosn,” said Wonder
land. “ Unhappy sovereign, she has lost
her mind.”
~“A1! the worse for us,” sighed tho
wr< tolled Russian.
“As soon ns I felt sure of lmr ronl
meaning, I fell on my knees and begged
her not to intend tlio terrible news to
mo; to reconsider bor intention. 1 lmnlly
know what T said. For nnswer ttho
pointed to the door.
“‘If Wonderland is not taken to tlio
taxidermist within nil hour, you slmll bn
knonted and sent to Siberia,’ she raid.
“Wretch that I am, 1 nm hero with tlm
news.”
“Let mo boo tho Empress ; let me
know whuf I have done. Lot me write.
Take a nets to hor from me."
“I dare, r " snid tho{Jliief of Police,
“ 1 have a wife and seven children. You
nre dear, lint they are dearer to me,”
Wonderland began to hopo that the
Empress only wished to play a practical
joke upon them, and pitying his friend
for his terror and tho grief he suffered,
nft a few moments more, arose and
offered to go with him at once. Wrap
ping themselves in thoir furs, both men
jumped into tho sleigh at tlio door.
Meanwhile lie had written a letter to
tho Empress, and calling a servant, dis
patched it by him. As yet no ono
guessed at the reason of this visit from
the Chief of Police, and the servant hiul
no fears concerning the safety of his er.
rand.
Meanwhile tho two gotlemon pro
ceeded together to the house of the tax
idermist, GottschekolT, Wonderland yet
hopeful—for an Englishman could hot
believe that such a command could bo
given in earnest—tlio Russian half mad
with horror. In fact, in delivering (ho
command of the Empress be lost com
mand of his voice and fainted away.
The taxidermist liimself grow pole.
“This is my eonteuoe of death, as
well ns yours,” lie said to Wonderland,
“ fur I do not know how to stuff a man,
and I know what Empresses nre. I
shall liavo to try, of course, but I don’t
think it can be done.”
“Iam sure it is only a jest of our
sovereign’s,” said Wonderland.
Tlio Russians shook their heads. But
at this instant a loud tramping was
heard, nnd armed men cut red, seized
upon the Chief of Police, Wonderland nnd
tlio taxidermist, forced them into a
sleigh and drove madly uway to the Roy
al Palace.
Wonderland still kept his courage. A
man knows well enough when a woman
really likes him, but tlio Russians knew
that if the Empress hod lost her senses,
her maddest mandate must bo obeyed.
Perhaps they would now be all stuffed.
Led into tlio royal presence,* they
found Catherine furiously pacing tlio
*4oor.
“ Wretched madman,” she shrieked
to tho poor Chief of Police, “ whut have
yon been about ? ”
Tho poor fellow fell upon his knees.
“My Empress,” lie cried, “endeavor
ing to oboy you, though it broke my
lieai t,”
“And you, beast?” she cried to tlio
taxidermist.
Tho taxidermist also prostrated him
self with iiis teeth chattering in liis
head.
“ My Empress,” said Wonderland, of
fering her the paper she had written,
“ hero i:i your royal mandate. There
wero some difficulties (purely profes
sional) in tho way of stuffing me.
Otherwise I should have been already
in an attitude of supplication on a black
marble pedestal, I make no doubt."
“Great Heaven!” cried Catherine.
“ My friend—my most faithful and most
earnest friend—liow dared you believe
me capable of su?ii a thing? And you,
idiots, get up.” And she spurned (lie
crouching men with her royal foot. “It
was my dog, rn.v favorite spaniel—whom
I had named after this dear Wonderland
bccauso lie was so handsome—that. 1
ordered yoy to stuff. He died last night.
The whole palace knew that. Good
heavens !”
Tlio absurdity of tlio mistake forced
itself upon the royal mind at this instant.
Catbeiihe.’in the midst of her rage, be
gun to laugh, and ended by growing
good nntnred.
“Amusing idiots," she said, “go, nnd
always obey mo as well as you have
done to-day. I see, at least, that you
meant well. ' 1
And thereupon tlioOhicf of Police nnd
the taxidermist crept away, thankful for
their lives, to convey tho dead dog to its
destination. And Wonderland wont to
lunch with the Empress, who leant upon
his shoulder as they walked together
through tlio Palace.
RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.
A Sclenlinc Koine.
That, admirable organization, Soros's,
liseusie I a momentous question nt its
meeting on Tuesday. It was: “Will
lionie-mnking ever become a science?”
I luce erudite papers were read on
llm subject, and a learned discus
sion followed in which Rev. l’huibo
IInnilfoi'il pnrtieiimteil. We regret pro
foundly that neiltiiT the contents of the
papers nor t lie points of the argument*
used in the discussion have been pub
lished. We are loft in the dark, there
fore, as to what sort of a place a homo
construe e I on selentilic principles, as
they appear to the feminine mind,
would bo. The information is also
lack ngas to which side had the holler
of the argument. Apparently the
question was not pul to a v< to, and the
M -anbntion ad oiirned without decid
ing whether liom.'-making would o.or
become a science or not. This throws
the ili-eussion open to tho public, and
gi\es the m n a chance to express their
views on a question of vital importance
to thoir happiness.
Let us suppose for a moment that
home-milking will become a science,
1 and Unit we shall shortly have a com
pany organi/nd which will guarantee n
thoroughly seio itilie home to all sub
scribers. Whut sort of an institution
would it lie? Tlio ideal home is, of
course, a luiven of rc-t whore the lina-
bnud and wife both have their own w ay
in everything; where tho children never
cry; wiieretlie servants are models of
holies!. nnd 'ndustiy; where tho dinnor
is nov. r late and is always well conked;
where there is no perceptible washing-
day: where the sweeping and dusting
are done when nobody knows it; where
selfishness nnd bad temper aro never
known; in short, a Utile Heaven upon
earth, inhabited by thoroughly angelic
mortals. Homes of tleil kind con
structed upon a scientific basis, and
served hot, liko steam through -ubtor-
rnnean pipes, would meet a long-felt
want. Nearly ever . fmuiiy iutills great
e'i v woo'il' - ii r, ‘-<‘ |, !h(Kyfir non.' * Hut i • I>v
a scientilic home is meant a jiluce where
“intellect” perpetually reigns; where
the constant o l'ori. is “to make homo
interesting liy milking it Instructive;”
where “happiness” is served out liko
cough medicine in a spoon un i accord
ing to receipt, we are afraid tlie demand
will not he great History to Is of a
man “blessed” with such a home,
who, as lie sat listening to the lain bar
words: “ Home, sweet, home, thoro is
no plaeo like homo,” remarked with
deep feeling (hat he was “thundering”
glad there wasn’t.
A great doai depends upon the ehnr-
aotor of the scientific homo, and that
point must lie clearly ox|dained boforo
any opinion ns to the sucooss or failuro
of the, scheme can be formed. As for
the men. there is little doubt, alio .1. tho
kind of a scientilic home which would
Do popular with thorn. All they want
is a home where they can havo thoir own
way always, where the meals are al
ways good. always fresh in variety and
always served on time; and where tlio
wife is so accomplished an economist
that when she asks her husband for
money and ho says: " Whoro is that 1
five dollars I gave you a week ago! 1 ” she
will lie able to reply, sweetly: “I havo
bought both the children a pair of
shoes, my self a new bonnet, anil a car
pet for tlio library, all out of that livo
dollars, and have a dollar aud a half
left.” That is the kind of scientilic
home the average man is y earning for,
and if .'-orrisis or any other organization
can supply it, the sum of human happi
ness will bo enormously increased.--(V.

An ingenious Frenchman 1ms invented
a game for facilitating the study of ge
ography by children. This now game,
approved by tho Paris Booiety of Geog
raphy, consists of a large planisphere
map of tlio globe, accompanied by nu
merous objects representing animals,
plants, flags, costumes, towns and land
scapes. These objects of painted card
boards stand upright when tho small in
scription accompanying them is folded
back ; they carry, moreover, a number
corresponding to ono on tlio map.
Placing each in its proper position, tlio
child becomes acquainted with tlio sub
ject ; if it bo a plant, lio knows the
placo which produces it and its use;
if a town, lie knows its population, its
position, etc. The map is folded, and,
with its various objects, put into a box

In a stairway on Woodward avontie
Monday sat a man who looked the
picture of sadness, and every now and
then he pulled out a red handkerchief
with many holes and rents in it, and
wiped tears from Ids eyes. By and by
a pedestrian halted and askod:
“Say, stranger, what ails youP”
“Oh, I dunno. I guess I feel sad.”
“You shouldn’t feel bad on Now
Ynar’s Hay. It’s Lho day on which to
brace up and swo iroff.”
“That’s just the point!” replied tho
man, as he, brought out tho handker
chief. "I haven’t anything to swear off
from.”
“Don’t you drink P”
“Not a drop.”
“Nor smoko, nor chow?”
“Neither ono; nor do I swear, gam
ble, bet nor lio."
“Well, you must be a pretty good
man.”
“Oh, I am —I am, I’m too good. Tlio
rest of you can resolve to-day not to rob
or steal again. You can swear off on
whisky and tobacco and lay plans for
economy, but I’ve got to plod right
along in the old track.”
“Can’t you think of ono single point
for reformation ?”
“Not a point—not a ono. I've vat
here for a whole hour trying to find
one single weakness, but I can’t do it.
Stranger, it makes me sad, and you
must excuse those tears. When I realize
that 1 am so all-fired good 1 am half in
clined to commit suicide.”
“I’L tell you of a point, old man.”
“Will you? Thanks! thanks! What
is it?”
“Why don’t you resolve to get your
hair cut, wash your face, clftan out your
nails, and put on a clean shirt?”
“Why don’t I? I will! Thank Heaven,
there is a show for me after all! I’m
not as good as 1 thought I was. Yes,
sir, I’ll do it. Shake with mo! You
have probably saved my life, and my
gratitude is unbounded.”
And then lie cried some more, but
they wero tears of joy.— Detroit Free
