Last Of Napoleon. Grand Army.

The Italian papers report the recent
arrival AT Baretto central Italy, oi a
strange looking parsonage. He was
tall and noble looking old man. with
long. white beard. who presented to
the mayor fcUiHc de route. signed by
the Italian ambassador nj ~. Peters
burg. inviting the Italian authorities
10 take good care of the bearer, Michel
Linovitch, OF Orcnburg, Russia.
In reality this mysterious old man
was an Italian named Limo, born at
Paretto l05 years ago, and perhaps
the last living relic OF the Gran dc Ar
NEE Of 1912. Limo formed a part OF
the CONSUMPTION Of Italy in 1903 and
was enrolled in the Imperial Guard
With his regiment he went through
the campaign Of 1906 and 1907 in
Prussia. Later on he was sent with
his battalion 10 Dalmatia, and thence
10 Spain. where he passed two years
OF continual lighting. Wounded in an
assault. he returned 10 his native
country, where he remained for two
years. working on his fathers farm.
On the outbreak of the terrible
storm. which was destined 10 carry OFT
20 Russia the flower OF the Franco
Italian youth, Napoleon called under
his victorious eagles his old soldiers.
Limo rcjoined the service and with the
rest of the cis-Alpine army formed
part OF the grande armcc. He fought
against the Russians nj Smolcnsk and
Moskova, where he lifted from the field
OF battle the mortally wounded Gen
erHl Plangonne. After that he entered
Moscow with Napoleon and finally In
the bloody battle Of the 2ith OF Octo-
Der, while lighting under the orders
Of General Pine. he was taken pris-
oner, after having been severely
wounded by the cossacks Of Platow.
Transported with q large convoy of
French prisoners TO Orcnburg, he was
sent with few OF his comrades 20 n
distant village situated at the foot OF
the Caucasus. where. although kindly
treated by the Russians, he had 10
suffer cruel privations during ten
years. Tired at last OF such a misern-
bic existence. he asked and obtained
permission to join the Russian army
as private soldier. In this capacity
he passed through the campaign OF
the Caucasus in 1929.

Secretary finds that the soldier sick
encd and died at the end OF 2s months
Of continuous army service. and that
while II does not distinctly appear from

the pension claim OF the widow OF

The California Fruit Grower gives

of quicklime which will weigh about
two or three pounds into three-gallon
pail filled with clean, pure water, and
let it remain until the dregs have set
tied to the bottom. Pour off the clear
liquid. Get two clean trace chains and
fasten them together. Tie strong
leather string firmly to one end of the
chains. Have the free end of this
leather a half inch or more in width.
Plug the Spite hole and vent of the bar
rel and pour the lime water into the
bunghole. Introduce the trace chains,
leaving a portion of the leather string
outside, and drive in the bung so firmly
that it will hold the string in place.
Roll the barrel around and churn ii
back and forth so that the chain will
come in contact with all parts of its
sides and wear off the mold if any has
collected. Set the barrel on one end
and work it back and forth, then re-
verse ends and continue to work it
about until the friction of the chain has
worked every part clean. When this
mas been accomplished remove the
bung, take out the chains and pour out
the lime water. Put in butketful or
