italian MariOuettes.

The first modern Italian writer who al
ludes to the public performances of mar
ionettes is the learned DR.. Jerome Cardan,
who was born at Pava in 1901. He speaks
with positive enthusiasm of the perfection
to which the art Of working the little fig
ures had then been brought, how by the
pulling of Il single string they could be
made to play, fight, hunt dance, blow
trumpets and cook 1<ery artistically."
Judging frCm sixteenth century pictures
and descriptions, the popular puppet shows
of those days differed but little from the
performances that may be witnessed Oh
the piazza OF any Italian city in our OWN
time.
There was the little portable stage, or
castcllctto on which the burattini of Flor
ence and Rome and the fantoccini of Ma
pies played their mimic parts. The latter
city was the birthplace of the hero of the
modern street drama, "Pulcinella," so
named, it is said, from the hen chicken,
whose cry his voice is supposed to rcsem-
Bile. The Neapolitan Pulcinella was by no
means such Il monster of iniquity as our
English Punch. He seems to have been
nothing worse than pleasure loving
quick witted, irresponsible scamp of the
"nobody's enemy but his own" type

Another Application.

A certain schoolmaster occasionally
compares the achievements of his pupils
with the work of noted men in their boy
hood days, much to the scholar disadvan-
tage.
Now, John, have you solved the prob
lem"" asked the teacher the other day.
mo, SIR" replied the boy II can't"
"How old are you, John2'
Sixteen" was the answer.
"Sixteen!' repeated the instructor.
Sixteen and can't solve a simple problem
like that! Why, sir, at your age George
Washington was surveying the estate of
Lord Fairfax
The pupil looked thoug htful, but made
no reply.
After the class was dismissed class
mate inquired of him if Washington ever
did anything else remarkable when he was
16.
II don't know" responded the boy.
He was surveyor when he was us old as
am, and when he was as old as our teach
er he was pre- ,ident of the United States. "

Nests Of the Gray Squirrel.

In the east the northern gray squirrel is
the commonest species, and that which is
most widely known. There is no need TO
describe it here, but when you come to &C.
scribe the nesting habits beware of maxi g
assertions as to what it does not do. In
Washington once heard lively three cor
nered dispute ON this subject, which was
quite instructive. One boy asserted that
the gray squirrel nests in hollow trees,
beech or oak preferred. Another declared
that in summer it builds a nest of green
leaves, for summer use only. A third con-
tended that the summer nest is built of
bark strippings from cedar trees, made into
o big, round ball. Within month we col
lected, within ten miles of the National
museum, three fine nests which proved
that all three of the disputants were right

NAPoLEoN'S MASTERPIECE.
The italian Campaign Showed His Irez1-
est Military Genius.

Tn later wears Napoleon himself believed,
ond SUBSEQUENT criticism has confirmed his
opinion, that the Italian campaign, taken
rs :, whole. was his greatest. The revolu-
tion of a system. social, political or MILL
tary, is always gigantic TASK. IL was
nothing less than this which Bonaparte
had wrought, not in one, but In all three
spheres. during the summer and autumn
of 1896. The changes, like those of most
revolutions, were changes of emphasis and
degree in the application OF principles al
ready OWNED. "Divide and conquer was
an old maxim. 1t was novelty TO see IL
applied in warfare and politics as boha-
partc applied it in Italy.
1t has been remarked that the essential
difference between Napoleon and Frederick
the Great was that the latter had not TO-
600 men a month to kill. The notion that
war should be short and terrible had in
deed been clear to the great Prusslan; Car
not and the times afforded the opportunity
for its conclusive demonstration by the
genius of the greater Corsican. Concen-
tration of besiegers to breach the walls OF
a town was nothing new, but the trlum-
phant application of the same principle to
an opposing line of troops, though well
known to Julius Caesar, had been forgot
ten, and it's revival was Napoleon's mas
terpiece.
The martincts of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries had SO exaggerated
the formalities of war that the relation of
armies to the fighting ground had been
little studied and well nigh forgotten; the
use of the map and the compass, the study
of reliefs and profiles in topography, pro-
duced in Bonaparte's hands results that
seemed to duller minds nothing short of
miraculous. One of these was to oppose
the old school rigid formation of troops by
any formation more or less open and ir-
regular according to circumstances, but al
ways the kind best suited to the character
of the region chosen for conflict.
The first two days at Arcole We're the
triumphant vindication of this concept.
Finally there was Il fascination for the
French soldiers in the primitive savagery
of their general, which, though partly con-
cealed, and somewhat held in by training,
nevertheless was willing to devote the
spoils of their conqucsts to making the
men themselves opulent; which scorned
the limitations of human powers in him
self and them, and thus accomplished feats
of strength and stratagem which gratified
to safety that love for the uncommon, the
ideal, and the great which is inherent in
the spirit of their nation. In the success
full combination and evolution of all these
elements there was grandeur which
Bonaparte and every soldier of his army
appreciated at it's full value-Profcssor
Sloane in Century
