The Romance OF a Musrache.

There was, during the reign of Mich
olas an actor in st. Petersburg named
Ivan Layechnikiff, a comedian, in high
favor with the Emperor. Ivan was the
possessor of a superb mustache, OF
which he was exceedingly proud. In
some play which was TO be produced
the manager ordered him TO remove the
hirsute ornament, OF which he was so
careful.
~ will not" was the reply.
you must, or take the consequences,
exclaimed the manager.
81 shall appeal to the Emperor;" and
he did. Obtaining an naudie!.ce he ap-
pealed to his Majesty. The Car smil-
ingly asked him, 'Do you prefer re-
tanning your mustache TO your position
in the theater?"
"Your Majesty, l do" said the
plucky Ivan.
"Ah. What if the choice, were your
mustache or your life.''
.By all means, Sire, still the must
ache" answered Ivan, thinking his
Mat sty was indalging in little pleas
antry.
"Then," said the Car, with sudden
sterness, "Ivan, If you do not obey
your manager you will receive flrst the
knout, then death. 1t is my order. Go.
Crestfallen. utterly crushed by this
sudden and imperions change IN his
powerful patrons temper, poor Ivan
bowed and left the presence.
That night they waited in vain fer
Ivan. Search was made in his usual
haunts. No one had seen him since
the hour after his departure from the
palace. But next morning the mystery
was solved. An officer of the Cars
household brought TO his master small
package, which had been left with the
guard, directed to his Majesty.
"Open IT," said Nicholas.
Ii contained a note and bunch OF
glossy hair. the note read simply:
"YoUR MAJEsTY-I send you my
mustache. IVAN
Three days after, the waters of the
Neya floated up TO the bank the dead
body of the comedian, who thus obey
ed the order of his master by losing his
mustache, and Kept his own word by
sacrificing his lite rather than to be
seen with a shorn lip. In glass case
in the managers room of the Imperial
Tleater In st. Petersburg, 10 this day,
is preserved the mustache of the luck
less comedian.

Wild Cattle and Music.

We have heard it said that caravan
drivers are in the habit of singing to
cheer their over-weariei and groaning
camels. a similar custom. with like ef-
fects, is reported of the herders. or
.'cow-bOys," of Texas. \ recent ira
veler in that state says. The cowboys,
while tending amounted on their wiry
mustang ponies their Texan cattle,
which are almost as wild as buffaloes,
and rs dangerous to man on foot, are
accustomed to sing great deal to while
away the lonely hours. At night they
hobble their ponies, and, wrapped in a
blanket, lie down to sleep on the prairie,
little way from the cattle. Sometimes
in the night tlunder-clap or some
strange sound will start up the cattle
with wild alright. and they will snort
and paw the earth, and in a moment a
wild rush and stampede would COM
mence; but the cowboys would spring
up, and while they loose and mount
their ponies they commence singing
their old songs The cattle. hearing
the well-known and accustomed voices,
will soon quiet down, thinking all is
right, and resume their rest again.

The Dukes Escape.

The story of the escape of the late
Duke of GramoIt from France after the
disastrous collapse at Sedan is full OF
romance. The Duke, as Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, naturally heard OF the
Emperor's surrender a day before the
news was published in Paris. He saw
at once that flight was necessary, as the
wrath of the mob was sure to be turned
against the Ministry, which was respon-
sibie for the war. He accordingly went
to his bankers to provide himself with
money and various securities, but was
informed that the partner who had
charge of his affairs was in the country,
whittier the Duke pursued him. The
partner was found engaged in burying
his property in his garden, but returned
to Paris and delivered up TO the Due de
Gramont the papers and money which
were required. On the next day Il. e bad
news was published, and the Minister
fled. He sent Off a servaLt In his car
llaES oIShit anu SSNdlSA AhhsSii " n
private door. The mob pursued the
carriage, but of course found no one In
it that they wanted, and the Duke got
safely to Calais. On his arrival there,
however, a new cause for alarm arose.
1t was necessary for him 10 produce his
passport before he could leave the coun-
try. and it was evident that in this way
his indentity would be discovered, and
he himself, as seemed only too probable,
would be arrested and sent back to Paris
never TO quit it again. The risk, how
ever, had to be encountered, and he
showed his passport TO the proper officer
and was, much to his relief, suffered TO
go on board the English steamer without
remark. He at once Aent TO the cabin
and, the better TO escape notice. pre-
tended to be very ill. In few min
utes, however. he felt an Ominous tap
on tie shoulder and looked around ex-
pecting TO find himself a prisoner. He
saw only the passport officer, who said
to him: "When you were In the Office
you gave my son an appointment. In
return for that | bave to-day let you
pass and thereby in all probability
saved your iife." The officer went his
way and the Duke got safely to Dover.

An Electric LOGAN electric log, de-
vised by N. Fleuriais, has been fully
tested, with satisfactory results, on
board the French frigate La Magicienne,
in a recent long cruise. a description
Is given in La Mature. A lour-armed
cross-piece, with cups at the end of the
arms all directed similarly In relation
10 the arms, is supported on a vertical
axis, so as to rotate in beng pulled
through the water, and proportionately
to the rate at which this is done. The
"mill'' is of bronze, but to diminish
friction the axis is supported in small
blocks of guaiacum, which are at the
ends of the arms of a bronze fork, pre-
senting little resistance to the water.
This fork is attached, through a short
chain, to the log rope, onestrand of
which Is removed to make place for the
electric cable Ga MenIer military cable.
with seven wires). The wire OF the
cable passes from the negative pole of a
battery on board ship to the log, while
while the ''earth wire" passes
from the positive pole into an electric
bell with out trembler); them, by a
ontract breaker, on to metallic bar COM
municating with the ships sheathing.
The rotating axis Of the log (which has a
double cylinder of wood and copper on
it) has the resistance of very elastic
copper slip to overcome, and the ar
rangement is such that the bell gives
one stroke for each turn. A sand-glass
is also used. To determine the ships
velocity at giving moment the ID cir
cult Is closed; (2) the sand-giass is
turned at one stroke of the bell, while
one counts nothing, one, two, three,
four, etc.: (3) the number is noted 1t
which the sand-glass stops and il e. g.,
this is 20, the velocity sought is seven
knots and five-tenths. Several Of II.
Fleuriais's logs are now used in the
ships Of the French Navy.

300 feet long and forty feet wide, and
this is succeeded by room ;0) by fifty
feet and fifteen feet high. From this
beautifully arched passage leads to a
chamber fifty by fifty feet and thirty
feet high, in which one OF the wonders
Of the cave is to be seen. Tine floor Il
divided by an immense fissure, which
extends IN a semi-circular form 10 the
next apartment. A stairway has been
constructed to the bottom of the fissure,
fifty or sixty feet below. where Is
found stream of pellucid water five OF
six feet i'm width. The next chamber,
called the ''diamond room" because OF
the brilliancy of the incrustations on
its walls, is 225 feet long, fifty feet
wide, and forty or fifty feet high, with
level ceiling, and following this Is a
magnificent hall, 400 by 100 feet, and
from thirty to forty feet In height. AT
one end of this apartment is a pit fif-
teen or twenty feet in length and
depth. This is the farthermost point to
which path has been opened and any
one can comfortably 60. With great
difficulty person can creep over a
steep and slippery surface between the
pit and one of the walls, and then by
crowding himself through small OPEN
ing can reach another interesting feat
ure of the cavern. This is gallery
formed in perfect circle, 300 or 400
feet in circumference, with floor as
level as that of ballroom, and cell
ing six or eight feet high. arched with
the utmost accuracy. At a point nearly
opposite the entrance are two wells
with perpendicular walls leading to a
lower level, and here exploration in
this direction have stopped. From the
bottom of the pit before mentioned a
narrow crevice leads to series of low
chambers 100 feet below the gallery,
which have not yet been Investigated.
The formations in this cave comprise
all of those which are common TO the
other caves of Virginia. The resem-
blances to statuary are numerous. In
one OF the chambers Is a stalactite,
brown in color, with figure in pure
white of tie exact form of mouse
upon it. The characteristic feature Is
the presence of a vast quantity Of fine,
perfectly llmpid crystals, covering
large sections of the walls and floor.

A SIMPLE device Is within the reach
of every one having an ordinary win
dow in his room. by which fresh outer
air can be admitted in small quantity
with such an upward current as will
prevent its being felt as an injurious
draft by the Inmates. 1t Is particular
fy adapted to sleeping-rooms when the
weather is too cold to admit Of an open
window. Thus, start both top and bot
tom sashes of the window half an inch,
which is not quite enough to clear the
rebate or stCp-beads at top and bottom,
but which leaves an opening of an inch
between the meeting rails, through
which a current enters, but diverted up
ward by the glass, as it should be, so as
not to fall directly to the floor, as its
GOODNESS might otherwise induce it to
do. Itthus becomes well mixed with
the air of the room without being felt
as draft.

Doll Furniture.

Some ingenious method of making dolls
and doll furniture out of the simplest mater
ials are thus described by an English writer
Very pretty toy ottomans are made of CON-
mon spools, the seat of cardboard, and
stuffed, and single seats by simply putting
each spool in a chintz bag, with little
wadding at the top, and piece Of ribbon
tied in the center. A cigar box, set on end,
vanished, and fitted in with shelves. is
transformed into a wardrobe, and without
shelves. merely with largish dress hooks,
fastened round with small tacks, it makes a
hanging wardrobe A sardine box, cut in
half, and bent into shape, makes a doll g
fender. Toy tambourines, to attach 10
dolls dressed as gypsies. are made out of
the lids of pill-boxes, the cardboard being
replaced by parchment and small gilt
spangles let into the edge at intervals, a
tuft of colored ribbons on either side. A
pill-box cut down little, and a brim Of
black paper added, makes a sailor hat, or,
with silk bag inside, serves to contain
sweetmeats. The ''wish-bonc" of fowls
may be dressed as sailors, or nurses. The
head is made of wool and seallng-wax
covered with white calico, which should be
slightly painted for the face. The two bones
make the legs, the upper portion being
stuffed for the bodies. And the shell of a
lobster can be turned TO very good account,
especially If converted into the semblance
of Oxford and Cambridge Deans. Two of
the lobster's le-s make the mans legs, and
must be fastened to a square piece of wood
for a stand; the outer shell of the body
must be placed upright and stuffed, the
stuffing covered in the front with black vel
vet made to look as much like waistcoat
as can be. with row of steel beads down
the front for buttons. Two more legs make
arms, and a piece of newspaper placed in
them keeps up the delusion. The pioneer
ends of the claws, with tiny spectacle across
them, and q college cap poised on the top,
form the head-piece. Sometimes, how
ever, piece of colOred candle is moulded
into capital face, with heads for eyes,
and the fuzzy bits for whiskers, hair and
mustache. An academic robe depends from
where the shoulders should be. Round
strawberry baskets can be be covered either
with chintz or with muslin over pink or
blue calico, and fitted up as a complete
dolls wardrobe, small china dolls dressed as
babies occupying the centre; and white
frocks and under linen. hood, cloak, sponge
in sponge bag, and all the details
of baby toilette, filing the several
pockets. One of the common mustard
boxes, set ON end, with two shelves at
equal distances, makes good dolls house,
the nursery at the top, and drawing room
below, the kitchen under that. Paper the
walls, carpet the floors, and then proceed
to furnish. seidlitz powder boxes are
easily converted into beds; the depth Of the
box is cut down to half, the lid is sawed
edgewsys to the top, and widensd little
for the overhanging portion, ane then the
whole is covered with chintz, and furnished
with bed, pillows, ahests and blankets.
