1'hora In a peed iloal of Inspiration obout
the Lcnton season , notwithstanding the pop-
Dior Idcn to the contrary. It Inspires the
funny paraRrnpbor on the dully pupon to
Boy briRlit things nbout Its otjsorvnnco by
tbo young womnn of fiwhlon ; Its usefulness
m n'toiiio for tired muscles. It nffords the
cartoon lit opportunity to nnnually draw pic
tures for the tnllor-raado Kirl asking tbo
Uovll In a dress suit to stop behind her for a
few ilnys but not to go too far in the back
ground , and It brings positive Inspiration to
tbo overworked "humorist" to take down

It's Lent. Without these annual visits or
frlonUs wo Imvo known from childhood ,
/Lout would bo tlrcsomoly monotonous , but
with them dropping In on ( is at the moat un
expected momenta makes llfo nearly worth
living during the "sackcloth and ash" period.
IJut though only outwardly observed by the
followers of Dame Fashion , It still has Its
uses and an omlnont divines has sketched ,
for the bcnollt of humanity , seine of the
Rood which may force Itself upon so
ciety , oven against Its will , through
this perfunctory pioty. If a man has
boon eating heavy dinners , public or private ,
overweighting his body , living n way ttat Is
not natural , that is not healthful , It may lie
of decided benefit to stop even for forty days
to glvo his body an opportunity to right it
self , so that bo irmv start afresh when Easter
Sunday Joins the cons past.
Thou along with this over-cullng , this too
high living , there comes naturally n drown-
-"K of tbo higher mental manifestations , fern
n man cannot reach the highest mental life
when ho Is catering too lavishly to the body
all the tlmo. A man works best with his
body well fed , but not ever fed , so that It
may bo a mental bcnclll for a person whc
has not learned to llvo plainly at any other
tlmo of year to train himself to do so for at
least forty days in Lent.
It Is n charming sight to see tbo Omaha
Rirl wending her way to church , prayer-.book
in hand , and clad in sackcloth ana ashes.
VVhat though tba sackcloth bo of irroproach-
oblo fit and in the latest mode , and the nshca
these of roses , the principle Is the same , and
the cost ot'lhnt sackcloth Is tanon Into con
sideration only by these scolTors unil jcrrcrs
who nro Irreverent enough to look behind thu
scones to sco whether this suddenly acquired
plotv Is for nny dcopor reason than the fol
lowing of fashion's dictates.
from 0 In thCi morning till the light fades
of an afternoon thcro are iimnv Into resting
things to bo hpon In the Aucdomy of Fine
Arts , which Is presided ever by J. L.aurlo
Wallace , the art director and teacher.
The rooms are located In the top story ol
the Williams building , a big skylight making
the studio us light us day , and under this
arrangement for light the artist pupils labor
from early morn to dewy eve upon thi
m various branches of their art work.
Kasols to thu rUht , easels to the loft , in
1 stiff and unbending lines catch the eye of the
visitor. Upon some are yet wet sketches ii
oil and wuter colors ; on others there art
drawings In black and white , copies o
plaster casts , horses In repose and In action ,
Loads of old CJrcok gods nndgodossos , gcomo
trlcal figures both plunoand spherical , giving
tbo Improislon of a sculptor's inoro than :
painter's htudlo and the nlaoo of uugmdlnt :
for the coming nrtUls of the west.
Notwithstanding thattwcnty-lH'o men nut
women are at work in iholtu go control room
there Is HtUo noise , tno artists in cmbr.vc
content to lot their brushes speak for them
Over thcro In the right hand corner , dl
rectly underneath the wide skjlieht , a dozen
men and women are sketching the head ani
shoulders of n right proity young woman ,
who stands in the cantor of the circle , watch
ing with considerable interest the progres'
of her picture under the brush of ono ol
Omaha' * best young painters. For forti
minutes she has stood in the sumo attitude
without so much as moving u muscle , and shi
lias seen iho outlines of her fuco and snout
dors grow into an almost speaking likonos :
upon half a dozen canvases of us many work
era In oil about her. Upon some of the otliei
canvases she is represented as a most pro
nounced virago , item and relentless in ex
nresslon , witli a neck that would do credit ti
3ohn L.'s ' physique. But then the person :
/who painted this Mcotch are but beginners

Mr. Wallace , active and alert , bonds ovc :

which he is a most enthusiastic member. No

The artist's model is the subject of a gooc

Btory Is told with the model as iho heroine
which may Imvo some semblance of tiuth

Hig young woman who finds posingns toput
able a means of livelihood as any of tin
other callings open to women. And she goo :

She doesn't bollovo she is to have a nlc <

Ono fair young woman , who crcato-1 a sen

Tennyson's heroine , ono cannot help but
think of nobler things
"Her Imlr that lays ulonz her buck

Hut tbo academy does not conIIno Itself to
'omalo models , several of the best pieces
turned out by the pupils being heads of men
who have posed for the class. Mr. Wallace

English to make herself understood she
asked if she should come on Monday and she
was told lhatshn should. Mr. Walloco then
mndod her 11 dollar and Informed her that
was the prlco paid professional models. It
didn't take the woman moio than a second to
say that she would not como on Monday for
two dollars for tbrcn hours. Llko thousands
she no doubt imagined that it professional

wanted to bo In on the ground lloor.

The twenty-live or thirty years of freedom
and clli7cnshtp which the black man has had
lu this country has demonstrated his sterling
worth and his ability to cope with the white
man in nearly every profession. In the pulpit
and In Journalism , perhaps moro than in nny
direction , has ho shown his ability to keep
up with , mid in fact almost load the procos-
slot ) . Thcro nro moro than 200 colored news
papers published In the United States. The
largest , the greatest and most successful ono
is the Freeman , published at Indianapolis ,
Ind , , President Harrison's homo.
It is a ncgrc journal in thu broadest sense ,
that Its typo-soUcrs , artists , editor- ) , and in
fact all of tbo work done on the p.ipor is done
by colored pooplo. Another novel feature of
the paper is that it Is illustrated , nnd ouch
week is full of illustrations showing the
wiltyand humorous side of negro life , and
ctvlitg the pictures and sketches of repre
sentative colored men and women who liavo
won distinction In the last two decades.

Thursday , March 24 , for three nights , the
Hiblcs French Burlesque company commences
monces nn engagement at the Farnnm street
theatur. This excellent organization has in
its ranks several well known specialty artists
whoso fame extends throughout the length
and breadth of the land , namely. Miss Allen
Kingsloy , the famous baritone singer whoso
voice of oxqulslto sweetness charms her
hearers ; Charles T. Aldrich , the great char
acter actor who , in his wonderful impersona
tion of a trnmp.hat entertained the people of
both hemispheres : iho two Hiblos , who have
justly boon termed the greatest tnuk come
dians before the public , and n host of others.
The first part , "Stanley's Reception , " ' is n
burlotla written to make pegplo laugh , and
certainly fulfils its mission ; the ladies are
young nnd pretty , appearing In gorgeous cos
tumes , and in the famous Ama/onian mau i
are uueaiialled. Tbo burlesque , ' "Hi- rubs
and His Norbs is a facetious fermentation of
frivolous fonciesand funny facts.lntorsporsod
with beautiful singing , comio sayings , funny
situations. A grand olio of specialties Is also
sprinkled throughout the burlesque , making
the performance remarkably strong. Doubtlessly
lossly largo audiences will erect the appear-
ancj of this most meritorious aggregation.
Sato of scats open Tuesday.
'iho coming Modjoska engagement at
Boyd's now theater will bo a dramatic event

neiress , but us a oomodicnno us well. The
Modjeska comptny Is the sumo that uho had
with her during her rctxmj hlghly successful
engagements in Chicago , nud. Now York.
An attraction to bo suc&c'ssful must plcaso
the people not only thWo who go to the
tboator to laugh ut anything und everything ,
but those who never lauMl , or at Joast who

theater goers , "Oh ! WbnO'a Night , " Is sure
to urovo highly cntcttaiu.jtyj . , as tboy cannot
