 According to a correspondent of the Co., logne G0sette the Italian army is not in first class condition. The able bodied population Is divided into three categories. The men of the first category have to serve three years in the regular army, five in the reserve, four in the movable militia, and seven in tue territorial militia those of the second cate gory five years in the regimental depots, four in the movable militia, and ten in the territorial militia and those of the third category the whole of their time in the ter ritorial militia, The territorial militia is on paper only, and heretofore the reserves have not been out for training. There are ten army corps Each company, however, con- sists of only ffty-four men for four months of the year, and of ninety when called out for duty. The law makes the strength of each company, when mobilized, two hundred men, or total of three hundred and thirty thousand for the army but under existing circumstances the mobilization would be confusing and difficult operation The force is to be increased to four hundred and thirty thousand men, and from ten to twelve army corps. The correspondent remarks This result, however, cannot be attained in less than eight years; and nothing is being done to increase efficiency In the artillery the proportion of guns to men GAO per thou- sand) is far too small and the strength of the cavalry is also insufficient as compared with that of the infantry. The Qualifications of the country, too, in very incomplete state, and the Italian fleet is, according to this critic, only capable of preventing the landing of troops, and could neither face enemy on the high seas nor hinder his bom- barding the Italian harbors.

New Hampshire's educational prospects are not bright, according to the annual report Of the State Superintendent of Public In struction. Within year eighty nine schools have gone out of existence and the attend ance has fallen off in those that remain. The pay of teachers averages $3G month for men and $22 for women. The superintend- ent complains that the schools do not do thorough work; leaving the boys hands, eyes and ears untrained, cramming his mem ory with useless things, and attempting to enlighten his understanding with visionary and absurd illustrations.

Weather Facts and Probabilities.

AS we are passing through a pc

atmospheric changes, the following
ten short rules by the use of
which a person can stand beneath
his own vine or fig tree, in any part
of the northern hemisphere, north of
latitude 15, and for hundreds Of
miles around him form an accurate
opinion of how the wind and wealth
er are progressing, may be of value.
They were supplied some time ago
to the Farmers club of the Ameri-
can Institute by scientist of New
New Jersey.
l. When the temperature falls
suddenly, there is q storm forming
south Of you. l
3. When the temperature rises
suddenly, there is a storm forming
north of you.
3. The wind always blows from a
region of fair weather, towards a re
gion where storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds always move
from a region where a storm is in
progress towards a region where
a storm is forming.
6. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or north
west, there will be rain in less than
twenty four hours, no matter how
cold it may be. ..-.
Z. When cirrus clouds are NOV
ing rapidly from the south or south
west, there viii be a cold rain storm
on the morrow, lift be summer; and,
if it be winter, there will be a snow

s. The wind always blows in a
circle around a storm, and, when 1t
blows from the north, the heaviest
rain is east Of you; if it blows from
the south, the heaviest rain is. west;
if it blows from the east the heaviest
rain is south; if it blows from the
west, the heaviest rain is north Of

A Patronizinr Subscriber,

The patronizing subscriber is the
most exasperating man with whom
the journalist has to deal. He does
not hand 50 to the editor and re-
quest that the paper be sent to his
address for q year. q He is not that
sort of a man. 4Als' li
When he buys railroad ticket
he pays cash down to the clerk
who edits the tickets with a hand
stamp, and to tho. Chinese journalist
who edits the shirt with a hat-iron
he disburses some of his wealth be-
fore he gets his shirt. But when
he patronizes the editor his tactics
are different. He says: "Well, L
reckon you'd better put my name
down for your paper. Ireally take
more papers now thanlI read, but /
suppose I'll have to take yours, too,
We are all expected to do some
thing toward supporting the press,
you know" He says this with the
air of philanthropist subscribing
for the controlling interest In mar
rowlgauge railroad, or a new church,
on which he never expects to draw
q dividend, but, at the same time,
he forgets to reduce his cash bal
ance by subscribing his 50 in adj
vance. He tells the editor to call
ON him for the amount when he
needs it. He is careful to leave the
impression that he has no possible
use for the paper, and he will like,
ly never read it, but he merely
wants to help the editor out with
the 50 he does not pay, -, Although
the patronizing subscriber does not
contribute a cent, he positively i'm
agines he has squandered money
that should have gone to the really
deserving poor. In time, as the pa
per prospers, he comes to regard
himself as the founder and chief
proprietor of it. The only wonder
is that he does not sell out when, as
is frequently the case, it fails to re
feet his political and religious views.
When an editorial demolished one
of his pet theories, he begins to re
gret that he has been nourishing a
serpent to his bosom, and talks Of
Withdrawing his support from the
paper. He even hints at establish
ing an independent organ that will |
properly represent the people. In !
return for the copy that he has not
yet paid for, the exacting patron |
expects that the editor will at
tempt in some slight degree to pay |
off the national debt of obligation to
him, by bringing his name before
the, people as a suitable man for
some prominent position. If this is
not done he regards it as an evi-
dence of base ingratitude.
He comes into the editorial-room
with a manuscript describing the |
wonderful idiosyncrasies of charac7
ter displayed by his house dog, or
some other such matter of national |
Importance, and wants it put in the
paper, and when the editor reads it,
and suggests that his columns are
crowded and that he hardly thinks
the matter offered would interest
the subscribers anyhow, the pa
tronizing subscriber is astonished,
and says, "My heavens, man, amt l
subscriber?'' and then he goes off
determined to bestow his patronage
on some live paper that will appre-
ciate his assistance. What exas
perates him most is for the editor
to send him a bill for the 81 Of cap
ital stock. that stands opposite his
name on the books.-LTexas Sift-
