ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 10 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. AN EARL AS AN INDIAN. - II w Lord Dnnmore "a Flan to Travel Like a Sav age From Montreal to Paris. ilr. Ciioi'tca Murray was born a lord, but prefer to be a tramp. He is not a tramp or toe Cox ey variety, but a traveler, an ex plorer and a stu dent of nature. These things oast l money, but Lord Dunmore s rich Testates in soot- Uand furnish htm with all the cash he needs, and Jwanders over the wild sections , the world at will. I The earl conies of one of the oldest families in Great Britain. He about 60 years of age and a gtnn in stature. His height is 6 feet inches tall, and he pulls down the scales at about 250 pounds. He is an old and experienced traveler and seeing to despise civiliza . lord pusMOBB. tiou 4 tne iron horse as heartily as did the mythical Leatherstoeking. He has just finished book called "The Pamirs," describing his latest Journey, which was from India to the Caspian sea, a distance of 4,500 mile. This remarkable journey was made on horseback, afoot and by sledge, and the plucky earl was one year and three days In traversing India, Balucnutan, Aignan Istan and Persia. The next great trip Lord Dunmore will take is a decidedly novel one as he has planned It. He proposes starting at Mont real and traversing the entire length and breadth of British North America until he reaches Alaska. During the whole Journey he will refuse the aid of all civi lized means of travel. He will make the trip en horseback, afoot, by canoe and by sledge exactly as he might have done had he been born a noble red man instead of noble lord. The object of his trip, aside from the pleasurable notoriety it may bring him, is to cross the continent by route never before attempted by civilized man and to learn the secrets of the com' paratlvely unexplored interior. There is a general impression that musk oxen and Eskimos roam over the country, and Lord Dunmore desires to increase (he world's store of knowledge on these and other points. . . The earl expects to travel in boats for part of the way on the Mackenzie river. Other parts of the journey will be covered on foot, by sludge and by snowshon. He expects to live on jerked reindeer meat, Il .li, musk ox flesh and whatever proven der the natives utilize in keeping soul and body lopether. Ho is an ardent Nlmrod and cxjiccte to bag some big game before reaching Alaska, From A lat lea he intends to cross Bering sea on the ice and tramp through blbcria and other countries until bo reaches Paris. SOMETHING NEW FOR WOMAN TO Da The Inequality of Development. . Few peoples have equaled the Hindoos in architecture. In philosophy their specula tions go to a depth to which European thought has only recently arrived. In lit erature they produced admirable works, : even though they fell short of those of the Greeks and Latins. But they were medi ocre and far below the Greeks In statuary, and were nullities in the domain of scien tific and historical knowledge, while they betray an absence of precision which we meet- in equal degree among no other peo ple. Gustave Le Bou in Popular 8cience Monthly. 5. Professional Reciprocity. I saw a letter some time ago written by the secretary of the national board of un derwriters, who were about to hold a con vention st Buffalo, asking Chauncey Depew for reduced rates in consideration of their large numbers. It was written on paper beaded with the title of their weekly pub lication, The Shroud, and concluded in these words: "If you should see fit to grant our request we shall be happy to exercise toward yon professional reciprocity."

"What can you dof" "Anything a woman of ability can do. -ana more than most men." "Great opinion of yourself, voung wom an," said the elderly lawyer present. "Per haps you think you could serve this sum mons?' i "I might," said she. "May I look at itr ies,i win. ' "If you do that you'll be doing something we've all been trying to do for a week.

He controlled his temper and accompanied me to the door." "Another field open to women!" was the lawyer's only comment Kansas City times. about you, Ulysses.'.' said Mrs. Murfree as she brushed out her back hair in fror.t of the dresser glass preparatory to retir ing for the night. "Not a particle," she emphatically repeated. "What on earth your mother was thinking about when she named yon I can't imagine. I am sore that I never saw a man mora un like his natneBake. I have known yon to be positively cowardly at times." Mr. Murfree looked up in a weary way from the coruer where he tat, "I'm sure, my dear," he began "No, you're uot," snapped his hotter half, giving the pincushion a whack with the hairbrush to emphasize her words; "you are not sure; yon are never sure of anything you only think, Baht I hate a man who 'only thinks.' And she jerked the tangles out of a refractory auburn lock with additional force. When Mrs. Jenks was telling tonight about that paragon of a husband of hers was simply consumed with envy. It shows how much to believe in names. Look at you two men: look, I say!" Yes, my dear, responded Mr. Mur free. pnlling off his boots in a resigned way, "I'm looking." Bahr retorted his wife, "I mean your names Ulysses Murfree, Peter Jenks just think of the difference, and yet Pe ter Jenks knocked a burglar down stairs this week with one fist; one, I assure yon; and you yon are afraid to go call tug on the Simaongibbers after dark be cause they keep a dog." Well, my dear," feebly expostulated Mr. Murfree, 'it is a very large dog and r Here Mrs. Murfree suddenly turned around, and through lips containing sun dry hairpins, combs and such trifling ar ticles hissed, "Don't talk to me!" in such an impressive and disgusted man ner that Mr. Murfree subsided at once and proceeded to finish pulling off his socks. He was not disturbed again until the moment came for retiring, when, con trary to their usual custom, Mrs. Mur free turned the gas entirely out, leaving the room in darkness, save where a streak of moonlight fell through the window, open for ventilation. Now, if there was anything that Mr. Murfree hated it was to have the bed room gas turned off at night, but know ing the defiant state of mind which prompted his wife to extinguish .it, and fearing to provoke another outburst he climbed sadly into bed, and lay cogitat ing a plan whereby he should be able to shoot a burglar in the dark should one chance to visit his abode that night I don't see how I could do it, he sighed, turning uneasily. "Are you ever going to he stall and let a person sleep?" snapped the partner of j bis joys and sorrows as she flounced over, dragging half of the comfortable with her, and thereby causing small chills to chase one another down her hus band's vertebrse. Mr. Murfree laid still. Be held his breath, figuratively, until the deep, not to say sonorous, breathing of his amiable companion told that peace and quietude bad folded their downy wings upon the bosom of Mrs. Murfree. Then he sighed again. "I do hope no one will come tonight.' be murmured sleepily. "Dear me if- P ; And here his thoughts floated vaguely off and he realized no more.

Just as the city clock was striking 1 Mr. Murfree awoke with a start and looked in a dazed way up into the dark nesa. "What's the matter with me?" he mut tered, a sensation of uneasiness creeping over bun. "1 think ha! What's that'" And, broad awake now, with the cold perspiration starting from every pore, he became conscious of a faint rustle in the room, the cause of which the heavy por tieres draping the alcove prevented him ascertaining.

And the poor man shook so mat the smnngs creaked and sent him into a fresh fit of trembling. Kusue, rustle, it came again, and then a soft thump and a clink. Hes got my pants," ejaculated Mr. Intellectual Work and Long Ufa. Now that so many women are adopting various forms of intellectual labor as a means of livelihood it may not be without interest to consider the result of brain work on the duration of life. V ery satisfactory references with regard to this matter may be drawn from the ad dress delivered by Lord Kelvin at the anni versary meeting of the Boyal society. His lordship gave a list of the number of fel lows who had died since the last annual meeting. These were thirty-two in num ber, including five foreign members, and the deaths were unusually numerous, or. as Lord Kelvin said, a sadly great number. Of course it is hardly necessary to say there were no women among them, as ladies are not yet admitted to the dignity of the fel lowship of the Royal society. Of these thirty-two deceased fellows, the ages of thirty were given by his lordship; two only were under sixty. Both of these were for- eign members. On the other hand, two had reached the age of ninety namely. Sir George li. Airy and Sir Francis U. Knowles. The average length of life of the thirty. who were all presumed to be highly distin guishsd in science or literature, was upward of seventy-four years a very satisfactory proof that even the highest intellectual la- Murfree to himself as he cautiously sat our beat didn't hear anything or come up in bed and tried to calm himself. tur table he thought all was over, and shrank down behind (t despairingly. But fortune was kind; the bnrglarstill searched busily, and Mr, Murfree, gutb ering himself for a grand effort and nerved to the point of desperation, made a flying leap, aud landing with terrific force upou the burglar's shoulders grabbed the revolver, yelling, "Police! thieves! oh" Over he went, buntpety bump, and as he found himself prostrate on the floor, with a chair and something soft and thick over him, he finished his exclamation with " it!" "Oh. Ulysses! Ulysses!" screamed Mrs. Murfree, tangling herself up in the bed clothes In her efforts to rise, "Help! Where are you?" Mr. Murfree was on his feet in a flash, holding in his arms the harmless cause of his fright aud disturbance, Mrs. Mur free's fur cae, which she had hung over the chair back, in front of the dresser, and which, with its high shoulder and collar, had looked in the dim light like a stooping figure. Men thiuk quickly sometimes, aud Mr. Murfree realized the situation with re markable speed, aud being on his met tle determined uot to be made a fool of.

Then he Hinted breathlessly up again, sinking on the top stair, sore, bruised and mad, just as bis wife succeeded iu lighting the gas. "Burglar," he gasped. "Where, oh. where?" she screamed ex citedly, half helping, half dragging hiin into the room. "Gone," he managed to say; "knocked him over got away front door see there?" pointing to the jewelry strewn around the floor. Mrs. Murfree gave one look, and then, with that faithful sense of obligation to the tradition of her sex which the aver age woman seems to possess in an emer gency, she proceeded to faint away. Mr. Murfree dumped her into a chair. He was too weak to hold her, and besides he felt a fiendish exultation in glorying in bis superior strength of mind, so when she recovered he was picking np the cleverly scattered trinkets with as bored an air as he could assume. "What are you scared of?" he said scornfully. "Man's goue; I'm here; I rather think I have protected you even if I am a coward. Perhaps you will kindly leave the light burning after this so that I Bhall not be obliged to struggle for my life in the dark, and he wiped from bis forehead a few drops of blood trickling from a scratch he received in his encounter with the large pin on his cape burglar, making bis face as gory as possible with the small amount of mate rial. Veritably the tables were turned. Mrs. Murfree looked at him a moment in a hysterical way, and then falling on his neck alternately implored forgive ness and wept over her former severity, calling him her hero and all the de lightful names which Mr. Murfree's soul was thirsting for. "I'll never say such mean things again," she sobbed, "never, never." "There, there," said her spouse, straightening np and putting on a pa tronizing air to conceal the nervous shaking of his muscles scarce over their recent shock. "Yon sit down and I will search the house, so that we can feel easy during the remainder of the night." So that while Mrs. Murfree bid behind the bed curtains for fearol another visit or, her Ulysses went out into the hall and stayed five minutes in a dark corner, returning with a serious air and the as surance that all waa well. Locking their door, the couple once more sought repose, but both were too excited for sleep. "Wont I just gloat over Mrs. Jenks," exclaimed Mrs. Murfree as she convul sively patted the pillow into a more ac commodating shape. "Oh, Ulysses, 111 tell every woman in the block."- Just then the ludicrous side of the thing struck Mr. Murfree, and he stuffed the corner of the sheet in bis mouth and shook convulsively.
