gal Babaji had the reputation of cur

ployed by the Dowager RAM, whose
adopted son the Rajah is, to cure him of

Mosr people breathe properly often
more by accident or instinct than by de-
sign; but, on the other hand, hundreds
of thousands do not breathe properly,
while many thousands at this present
moment are suffering from more or less
severe affections of the lungs or throat,
owing to a faulty mode of respiration
in other words, because they breathe
through the mouth instead of through
the nostrils. The mouth has its own
functions to perform in connection with
eating, drinking, and speaking, and the

error of respiring through the mouth is
not SO evident as at the colder season,

danger to the person who commits this
mistake.
SIGNOR BERrOLOrTI has extracted
from the archives of Rome some new
facts relating to Beatrice Cenci and her
incestuous father. The latter he pOr-
trays as vicious and violent noble OF
type common enough in the sixteenth
century, but by no means monster
the latter as criminal to be. pitied
rather than a victim one would wish to
exalt. He says she was 2l years of age
at the time of her death, instead of 16,
and suggests that her having remained
until that age unmarried, is presumptive
proof that she was not good looking,

instead of being young and handsome,
was fat, ruddy, and middle-aged. And,
to strip the poetry more completely
from this famous story, it is intimated
that Beatrice shared the profigate tastes
of her father and brothers, and was nc
better than she ought to be.

Race Between Pigeons.

The homing pigeon was the only mes
senger to the outer world of Frenchmen
that the besieged residents of Paris had
when the city was surrounded by the
Germans in 1870. The bird then proved
of such value that dilligent efforts have
been made by European governments
to improve the breed. Some interest in
the subject seems to be taken in this
country. The Scranton Pa.) Volant
Club recently offered prizes for pigeons
that would fly $50 miles most quickly.
The race is to take place on June II,
when pigeons brought from New York
City will be liberated at Sanbury, Pa. :;
Philadelphia birds at Huntingdon, Pa. !;
Troy birds at Auburn, and Utica birds
at Albion. The Utica birds have been
tried several times during the past fort
night over part of their course; from
Rochester to Utica, a distance of 1875
miles. At every trial the birds have
flown swiftly back to Utica. A race of
500 miles distance for q purse of 800 in
gold is soon to take place.

the second gang stated that they were
waiting for q strike ON the Boston &

scattefed about in that country about
four hundred men, who were all
waiting to Join the strikers. These
men appeared ready for any plan of

pose Of stopping the cars was discuss
ed but, as q strike was confidently

for . few days. The detectives took

they met were such from choice or
