carriara Of Moral Disease.

passed from the physical dangers pre-
scented. by books and newspapers toAa
criticism from the mental and moral
point Of view. ' -,
There is unhappily in circulation in
these days. he said, literature that
altogether apart from prudery or any
p%uritanical prejudice must be pro-
nounced pernicious to health. Mtngling

speed of Fitch. Of pigeons.
From the Outing Magazine.

OF our game birds the most gre
garious and most beautiful passenger
pigeon, now unhappily practically ex-
tinct, is or was doubtless the most
rapid OF continuous flyers; yet to a
total length OF about 1914 inches, its
wings length Ia about 1910 inches, a
proportion less favorable for speed
than with certain other less rapid spe-
cies of its family. Their sustained
speed certainly exceeded a mile a min
ute, and some authorities have esti-
mated it as high as 120 miles per hour.
The fact Is often quoted that the wild
rice OF the Carolinas was sometimes
foundsin the stomachs OF birds shot In
Canada. showing both marvellous speed
and endurance.

'Mummified remains OF beings who
existed hundreds of years g have
been dug up during the work of exca-
waiting that has been going on in the
old catacombs Of Quanajuato, Mexico"
said DR.. S.. Burg. The people whose
bodies were discovered must have lived
long before the settlement of the re-
public, and the inds have occasioned
much interest among scientific men.
Some of the bodies were decked with
beads, and ivory trinkets that were In
vogue before the coming OF the Span
|iards, so hat these people must have
lived in that part Of the country cen
turtles ago. The mummies were dis
covered under an old cemetery while
the excavations were being made by
some prospecting miners"

From the Bohemian Maya

1T is a very dangerous thing, I have
found, to tell stories TO the present
younger generation" a Sunday school
teacher recently remarked. Now, l
have always been fond of illustrating
the gospel lessons with little stories
which helped to point the moral, and a
favorite with me was n OF a young
Roman athlete who used to swim the
Tiber- three times every morning. This
generally made a hit with the boys In
my class, but one Sunday a new lad
with Irish eyes appeared, and at the
conclusion of this story he snickered
audibly. -.- L ~ D.
