Noticing that day on the steam- boat a man who was carrying a cage rather carelessly, Nicolini ran over to him with the exclamation, “Prenez lgarde, monsieur, c’est le Prince!" Prince was a dove~colored parrot, of which Mme. Patti was eSpecially fond. One of the features in Patti's career has heen the physical care which she has always taken of herself in order that her voice might remain unim-â€", paired as long as possible. Much of‘ this care was due to Nicolini's caution. He watched over her regime almost like a physician.

To do this he must draw his quill through the space of a rodâ€"sixteen and oneâ€"half feet. In forty minutes his pen travels a furlong and in five hours and a third a mile. We make on an average sixteen curves of the pen in writing eaLh uord; w,rit- img thirty “ords in a minute we must make 488 to each SBlO'Dd; in an hour ’8, 800; in a day of only five hours 144,- , remarkable.
