The Bersaglieri were formerly re-
cruited in northern Italy almost exclu-
sively, but of recent years the tendency
has been strong in the Italian army to
destroy the feeling Of sectionalism, and
the result is that now men from all sec
tons OF the country are found in the

THE ITALIAN ARMY.
What It Costs to Maintain the In.
mense Establishment.
Burden Which May Cause the Downfall
of the House OF Savoy Any Day
The Pride of the Army Are
the Bersaglieri.

The average annual cost of the Italian
army is 100, 600, 900 lire. Service is COM
pulsory upon all Italian subjects be-
tween the ages of twenty and thirty
nine, with the exception of convicted
criminals. The annual number of con-
scripts who are actually available for
service is $50, 200. These are divided
into three categories- The first and
second, says Lesle's Monthly, join the
permanent army for eight years, the
mobile militia four years and for the re-
naming period the territorial militia.
The army comprises the men with the
colors and those on unlimited furlough.
The mobile militia Is liabl to be called
out in time Of war, or for training, or
for the preservation Of the civil peace.
A member of the territorial militia
must attend for instruction at least
thirty days, spread over period of
three years. The third category of the
annual levy of recruits pass their whole
nineteen years OF service In the terri
torial militia.
About 5000 volunteers are annually
accepted, who serve for three years or
for a special term. The nominal
strength of the army Is TOO, 900; mobile
militia, $50, 900, and territorial militia,
$4,000. But of these about one-half
are entirely unframed. For actual
service the regular forces would proba-
bly, number 43o, 900 men. The army has
II territorial commands, "a territorial
divisions and 81 districts for recruiting
purposes. Each infantry company con-
tainS about 90 men.
Alpine regiments are distinct in char
acter, and are recruited from the border
districts
Volunteers pay for their service in the
cavalry 1000 lire per annun, and 500 lire
for service in the infantry. Under these
conditions volunteers service is made
up thus: One years active service, seven
years on furlough, four years in mobile
and seven years in territorial militia.
The permanent army is thus arranged:
The general staff, the staff corps, the
artillery and engineers, infantry, cav
airy, royal carabiniers, corps of inva-
lides, sanitary corps, commissariat
corps, corps of paymasters and the vet
Urinary corps.
The artillery contains 10 regiments of |

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

the st. Louis team.
The Reading Pa-) club has disbend
ed owing to lack of support.
Won der Abe has signed Third
Baseman Haigh, Of Allentown, Pa.
Fred Pfefer wants Mullane and /.

Cincinnati has signed Pitcher Sui.
Ivan, late of Albany, Syracuse and
Utica.
"Chippy" McGarr, of the disbanded
Milwaukees, has signed with Roches-
ter.
Campau, Walsh and Jantzen, of Co
lumbus, will finish the season in Ne "
Orleans.
Milwaukee is figuring on Wiscon-
sin-Michigan league franchise, and is
trying for Oshkosh's place.
The eastern league has discarded the
millennium plan, and clubs are now free
to sign their own players.
Comiskey has signed Pitcher j. W.
Sullivan whom Arson had in the
brotherhood year. Rettger has been
released.
Buck Ewing has been advised by a
physician to take rest. The public
doubtless comedies with the physician.
Comiskey comes to the front with the
prediction that Philadelphia will win
the present seasons championship and
then defeat Boston in the play off.
According to Manager Powers "there
is now in the New York team what has
not been there before this season-har-
mony. 1t was necessary to secure that
before team work could be expected"
Jake Beckley is field captain of the
Pittsburgh team once more. He was
restored to that position by Acting
President Buckenberger. Miller was
satisfied with the change and may be
depended on to do about as much talk
ing during the game as he ever did.
Here is a pointer for the prophets: In
the first league season Brooklyn,
which finished second by close shave,
led the league in batting, run-getting
and bases stolen. The team also re-
ceived the greatest number Of bases on
balls, and was second in sacrifice hit
ting.
Dan Coffee, Jr., of San Jose, Cal, met
death in strange way. Some time
ago he strained himself reaching for a
high-thrown ball while playing base
ball and a bleeding at the nose fol-
lowed. 1t was checked, but he was at
tackled with frequent hemorrhages and
he finally wasted away and died
Nash resigned the Boston captaincy
because he did not relish the salary cut
He probably also reckoned that he
could get no more credit by winning
the second championship and might lose
some reputation should Boston fall
down in the second season, which
seems probable.

OBSERVING THE TRIPLES.
Some of the Little Things That Have De

pome OF the Little Things That Have De-
veioped Remarkable Proportions.
An American neurologist, eminent in
the medical profession, told the other
Say the following anecdote, illustrative
Of the value to physicians and nurses
Of the habit of quick observation of
trifles
The doctor once was called in con-
sultation to case of peculiar disease
In woman, which had baffied the skill
Of her physician. No cause could be
found for certain perplexing symptoms
AS the doctor stepped to her bedside he
accidentally displaced an empty cologne
bottle on an old, highly vanished table
by the bedside.
'0h," said the patient, quickly, "the
nurse upset that bottle last night, and
spilled all the cologne"
'On this table?" asked the doctor.
carelessly.
eyes"
When the physicians retired for con-
sultation the doctor who had held this
conversation said: 81 think this won-
an has been drinking cologne Alcohol
spilled on that table would have left a
white STAIN
Here the quick observation of trifie
and the chance knowledge that the
alcohol in cologne water would blanch
vanished surface detected dipso-
maniac in the patient, and enabled her
physicians to treat her more intelli-
gently.
The keen notice of TRIES and the
rapid matching in the mind of cause
and effect constitute what NAV be
called the detective quality, which be-
longs in its highest grade to great in
yentors or naturalists.
One man, for instance, watches the
force with which the lid of his wife's
teakettle Is raised when the water
Ooils, and out Of that observation comes
the steam engine
Another observes that the fame Of
his candle as he enters door NAV be
blown one way when he holds it above
his head, and another when he lowers
the candle, and out of that tribe de-
duces the explation of some Of the great
atmospheric currents.
Yet how many thousands of men had
seen the lid move on a boiling kettle
with no result, and how many had car
tied flaming lights without detecting
the secret Of the mighty winds which
had puzzled all mariners since the first
ship sailed.
So keen an instinct for discovery is
usually born in man, yet the quality
can be cultivated by every person. 1t
