with the collection, but Mr.. Budd

INVASION by Italian troops In case Of
war with that country, or, indeed. with
any member Of the triple alliance. Of
which Italy Is a member. organized
twelve mountain Jager battalions to
serve on the Alpine frontier. During
the summer the troops are actively en-
ploycd in their special districts Of de-
:ense and in winter the bulk Of them are
withdrawn to garrisons In the valleys.
Small detachments consisting Of one
officer, a doctor. two sergeants, four
corporals and about 30 men are Left in
the stations near the various noun

1000 or 10000 feet above the level of
the sea they spend the dreary winter.
When the warm weather sets in
about May-the various Alpine detach-
ments leave their winter quarters for
their particular strategic section Of de-
fence. Each party consisting Of q
mountain lager battalion, a mountain
battery and a pioneer train. Divers
military exercises are then practiced-
field antics, artillery and rife drill,
forced marches, intelligence service,
reconnoitering, making roads, sham

TBe Peerless Gladstone.

The hale old age of Mr.. Gladston.
has caused some delving in history to
find parallels Of statesmen who have
attained q remarkable age. There is
one instance mentioned In French his
tory. that Of Cardinal Fleury, who
served his king up to the age Of ninety.
Another is that of Lord Lyndhurst,
who, while verging on his ninetieth
year, made o stirring speech in tho
House of Lords. There is, however, it
is believed, no instance in history
where n man of Mr.. Gladston.'s age
has been capable of such energy as he
has shown.-New York Sun.

old. is at st. Mary 3 Hospital, Rochester,
N. Y, recovering from the first stage
Of peculiar surgical operation When
young, necrosis Of the nasal bones de-
stroyed his nose, leaving an unsightly
depression. Doctor John o. Rowe, Q
Rochester specialist, undertook to pro-
vide an artificial nose. He has done
so by amputating the third finger OF
the left hand at the frat joint and
taking the bone Of the middle finger
for the bridge of the artificial nose.
The skin of the face was raised and the
finger put in place and stitched to the
tissue above the nose. In order to
secure circulation and maintain life in
the finger the hand has been bound to
the face for q week, but will be re-
leased on Sunday by an amputation at
the fingers second joint, after which
new nostrils will be established In con-
nection with the old. Doctor Rowe
has had one case Of tho kind befRe.-

WISE WORES,

Taste is the microscope Of the judg.
uent.
A quiet conscience makes one SO
serene.
If poverty make man groan, he
yawns in opulence.
After croases and losses men grow
humbler and wiser.
Ill humor Is but the inward feeling
Of our own want Of merit.
Since We cannot get what We like,
let us like what we can get.
Hope warps judgment In council.
but quickens energy In action.
He who can conceal his joys il
greater than he who can hide his griefs.
Every thought which genius and
piety throw into the world alters the
world.
The highest reach Of human science
Is the scientific recognition of human
ignorance.
The soul without imagination il
what an observatory would be without
Q telescope.
Wrong ever builds on quicksands,
but the right to the firm centre lays ita
moveless base.
Those who have but little to attend
to are great takers. The less meE
think the more they talk.
The cheerful live longest in years,
and afterward in our regards. Cheer.
tulness il the odshoot Of goodness.
Good temper. like Q sunny day,
sheds brightness over everything; it Is
the sweetener OF toll and the soothez
Of disquietude.
Our yesterdays follow us; they
constitute our life and they give
character and force and meaning ia
