There are occasions, however. when

Two other lodgers, Mr.. and Mrs. Gray,
who had steadily reused to be tempted into
drinking with the landlords, heard quarrel

found the last victim under heap of straw

never caught, although he returned to Edin-
burgh many years atterward. Burke was
captured, however, and soon afterward
hanged.

of an indiscret familiarity offered the

sensation in Russian society for time and
the Gar ordered the Duchess to travel for
a while-tor her health.
Vladimir and his wife are a remarkable
pair. He is as handsome man as is to be
found in the Empire, and she is every bit as
fine woman. Both are wealthy. intelli-
gent, and, while always together, never
interfere with each others enjoyments, and,
taken all in all, are as happy a couple as
royalty can boast of. Should Russian
persecution drive the Duchess out of the
country her husband, in spite of his close
relationship with the throne, would be more

The Last Of tho Borsias.
Last week q poor photographer of Rome,
who for 20 years past had endeavored to exc
out an existence by means of his trade and
found his efforts vain, gave up the ghost as
last resort. His closing hours were
marked by suffering from extreme poverty
and want, and the neighbors were called
upon to see that his renal ms were decently
inferred. Who would think that this starv-
ing manipulator of the camera embodied
the last representative of the once princeiy,
famous and notorious House of Borgia.
They were originally Spaniards. but, from
the middle of the fifteenth century the his

Roman Catholic hierarchy with some of it's

scions have mated with the children of
kings, to the present day the blood is flowing
in the veins of MANY of the royal families of
Europe; but, now the name is gone and it
sinks out of existence in ignominy, a re-
markable instance of how almost royal
powers can be disseminated, enormous
wealth dispersed, and hame, which at one
time might almost have been conf jured with,
lose its potency and significance in COM

Birds Carrying Off Human Beings.
1t is scarcely month since q prominent
scientist declared emphatically that there
was not on record single genuine case of an
eagle or any other bird having carried off a
human being, either man, woman or child.
This was indeed a sad blow to the many
picturesque and thrilling tales of the kind
handed down from time immemorial. Now
we have d story from province in Hun
gary, given forth on the very best authority,
in which an eagle carries off child years
old in plain view of the father and mother.

Grand Duke Nicholas

Grand Duke Nicholas. Sane, Ddt, tnen
it was generally conceded that he was not in
his right mind as long ago as the Russo
Turkish War, when, as Commander-ln-
Chief of the Army of the Danube, he made
a sad mess of things. He was always con-
sidered dull fellow, being the butt of his
brothers who played innumerable practical
Jokes upon him, Alexander himself, while
Emperor, being at times unable to resist the
impulse. Even his marriage with the Prln-
cess of Oldenburg was considered something
of Jest.
Although lacking in mental qualities, he
was big, handsome fellow at 25 years of
age when his father made match for him
with his little red-haired, red-taeed cousin.
He had sense enough, however, to make the
best of the business, but retired IN meas
ure from the public gaze, and, like our own
ex-President Hayes, betook himself to farm
ing and raising poultry.
The story is told that when the Gar
sternly asked one Of his leading Generals
what had become of his army, the latter
burst into tears and replied that Duke
Nicholas had commanded him to take cer-
tain position against the advice of his
officers and when he returned his army had
no existence.
The Soul Leaving the Body.

strument with which he claims the soul can
be seen passing from the human body at the
moment of dissolution. In his description,
the soul short time before death. gradually
appears, assuming the shape and appearance
of the dying person, but in an exceedingly
vaporous state. The figure is also described
as being dfvinely perfect and beautiful and

William has changed wonderfully in q

power now resting in his hands as Emperor
renders unnecessary any further displays of

cult to forget that scene which we are told
took place at San Reno, in which he was
charged by his royal father with wishing
and gloating publicly over his coming
death and the possibility of his own speedy
succession to the throne. Then again at
supper the same evening, it Is said, Will

many changes then contemplated in the
affairs of the young man.
Typhus Fever From Hamburg.
The investigating physician of New York
has discovered that nearly all the typhus
fever cases in that city come from Ham
burg. Two of three patients now in his
care came from that city, and by tracing
their origin the doctor was convinced that

fact that the sanitary reports of the city OF
Hamburg revealed no deaths from typhus
in more than ten years.
The conclusion arrived at by tho doctor is
that the disease ls either brought from East

the matter'sh6uld be rigidly investigated by

Murd.rer Burke, Of the murderers form q
story without parallel in any age or coun-
try. While the Jack the Ripper" affairs
viii 20 on record among the most remarka-
BILE in the annals of crime, they as yet do
not equal those of Burke and Hare, either
in number of victims, time in taking place
or execution.
William Burke was an Irisbman who To-
Gated in Edinburgh at the lodging house
kept by William Hare. One Of the latter's
boarders, an old pensioner, died, and Hare
conceived the idea Of abstracting the body
from the coffin and filling it with stones.
After the practically empty coffin was buried
Burke and he carried the body to the Col
lege of Surgeons In the city and sold it for
a7 10s Delighted with the success of their
experiment. the two then began the famous
series of murders for the sake of the money
which the medical institution, curiously
enough, were ever ready to pay without ask
ing questions.
The first victim was middle-aged woman
named Abigail Simpson, who was enticed
to Hare's place, made drunk and suffcoated.
They received e1o for her body. The next
was an Englishman, whose body readily
commanded as much money as the other.
Then a nameless old woman lodger was
smothered with feather pillow and another
a1O earned. Margaret Patterson, hand
some young girl, was the next, and within
four hours after death she was on the dis
secting table and eS in the pockets of her
executioners. An old woman and her deaf

were treated to liquor, put in bed that night
and the next in herring barrel, in which

process Of development. There is no storing
up of reserve force as in adult lite, every
atom of material is Immediately used up in
meeting the wants of the growing organism.
Exercise, whether in games or in gymnastic
maneuvers, is useful as helping the due
performance of the vital functions, but
anything like fatigue is most injurious. In
estimating the dangers of any particular
kind of exercise it is not the Heracleidae,
but the ordinary sons of men who form the
bases of any general formula. The weaker
lads are often tall, growth having outrun
general development. and in their case vio-
lent and prolonged muscular exercise should
not be permitted till the frame is sufficiently
consolidated to bear the expenditure of ner-
vous and vital energy which it entails.
From 20 to 80 it matters little what exer-
else is taken so long as it is sufficient with
out being excessive. For men who live in
towns it is often very important to obtain
the maximum amount of exercise in rela-
lively short time, and in such cases gallop
for an hour or even three-quarters of an hour
answers the purpose well. Fencing, how
ever, is perhaps the most effective form of
concentrated exercise, but it has the disad-
vantage OF exercising the right side of the
body much more than the left, and thus in
some cases producing o slight deviation
from perfect symmetry. Rowing, or rather
sculling, is perhaps the most perfect form of
exercise for young men and girls, for nearly
all the muscles OF the body are brought into
play, with the exception OF those passing
from the front of the chest 10 the arm. In
young persons with tendency to phthisis
or asthma have many times seen sculling
effect a complete cure. During the period
of adolescence gymnastics under compe-
tent instructor are often of the most signal
service, especially to young people who are
naturally awkward or otherwise physically
backward.
