They too have heard the drum-beat,
They follow the hugle'S call
These who are swift with pity
on the field where brave men fall.
When the battie-boom is silent,
And the echoing thunder dies.
They haste to The plain red sodlen
With the blood Of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is markell with crimson Sign,
Pledge nf Il great compaSsion4
And the riftcd heart Divine
That once for mans redemption
knew rIrth's compieteSt loss,
h"Se To the tield of Valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And 81 they follow the hugle.
And heed the drum-beatS call.
But the if crrdnd is one of pity

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You May Apply Your Boot
 with Empunity.

Perk and Quirl5 were walking along the crowded street, feeling very kindly toward themselves and the rest of humanity. Just as they reached the middle of crossing one of those aegfavating individuals who walk one way and look another stepped di- reetly in front of a cable car which was rounding the corner. Of course the eae had no fender on it. Nearly. everybody in the vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil- dered man looked in the wrong direction.
 Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to the side of the track and grabbed the man by the collar and yanked him clear of the tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then he gave him another feroeious jerk to get him out of the way of an express wagon, and, getting him at proper range at the same time, he gave the poor man kick that must have driven his spine up into his hat. And with the kick Quirll roared:
 'Confound you, keep your eyes open when you are on the street."
 Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perh tottered to the curb sat down and laughed until the tears came. Then he said:
 You are the only big enough idiot on earth to save a mans life and then kick him for it. "-Chieago Times-Herald.

CLIMBING THE ALPS BY RAIL.
An Electric Line Up the Gornergrat Peak Will soon Be in
 Operation.

There shall be no Alps" said Ma poleon, and he dragged his army over them. Modern science has accom- plished the same annihilation. The new electric railroad up the side of Corner grat, one of the highest peaks of the range, will be opened soon. So elated Is the engineer with his success that he IS already planning to build a road up the steep ascent of Mont Blanc, the monarch of mountains" The road up Gornergrat is ten miles long and rises by a gradient of about one foot in five during most of it's ascent, reaching it's highest point at Ryffelalp station. This is situated on the ridge and is over 10,- 900 feet above the level of the sea and lies between Findelen and Corner gla- oiers.
 From Gornergrat the traveller has a view unrivaled throughout the Alps. 1t has long been the favorite excursion of Swiss travellers who ascended it to Ger matt by mule path with comparative safety and comfort. Beyond a foot path ascends almost to the top, but its dangers and difficulties forbid it's as- cent to all but the most intrepid noun tain climbers. The new road, however, brings it within the reach of all
 Ryffelalp there overlooks the entire Findelen valley and the traveller might be well satisfied to return by the way he came. However, the engineer has been even more eonsiderate. By re- versing the direction of his train he carries you right down into and through the valley, bringing you back by a beautiful circuitous route to Ger matt
 The trains will be driven by electricity generated from the torrent that flows from the Findelen glacier, a huge pipe down the mountain side carrying the water at a high pressure to the dynamos beneath the bridge The dynamos are capable of developing 1,5oo horse pow CT and the current will be conveyed by overhead wires to the motors attached to the carriages. The bridge across the Findelen is unique, as it is 164 feet above the river, or Is feet higher than the bridge at Fribourg, hitherto the high est hallway bridge in Switzerland. The electrical motors will drive onto a cen tra1 cogged rail, between the two ordi- nary rails, as the gradient is much too steep for the train to be driven by sim pie adhesion.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

HOW WE sIMPRovIsED'' WAR.
A French Writers Opinion of the American Way of Winning
 Victories.

The following is from q letter written from Paris by correspondent of the Italian paper, La Tribuna It is trans lated from the Italian paper by friend of the Mail and Express residing in Brewster. Mass. The communication shows that the French did not in their hearts think so meanly of American valor and achievement as their national organs about that time led their read, CTS to believe 'tThe Americans" said Le Matin, "are still apprentices in the art of war" Such, however, was not the view of an intelligent French cor respondent when he wrote the follow ing to his Italian newspapers;
 Paris, Aug. 8, 1898.-We are pro foundly humiliated as Latins in par tieular, and as Europeans in general. For 28 years all the civilized countries on the eastern continent, in a course at once foolish and fatal lavish millions or more (those who are able) to or ganize their armies and their fleets. Millions of men are torn away from work, to learn to kill reciprocaIly, in war perhaps that no one wishes, and that no one hopes anything from. They do as he who ruins himself in ac- cumulating materials to build a house, that finished may fall on him and crush him. And here is a country of r5, GOO GOO of souls, that in normal times has neither army nor fleet, which inn trovises both in three months and ac- eomplishes miracles And note that, the war finished, soldiers and sailors will be disbanded, and that there will only remain of so great force the titles of captain or commodore, or of general on their visiting cards, and also a small army of pensioners. Every three or four years we change our armaments, guns, the powder, the models of our ships, and the Americans stand and look on! We spend systemat- ieally the nerve and sinew of our for tunes, and they come in moment, spend in twinkling the twentieth part of what we spend in 20 years, and they succeed And of what avail is the hero ism of the Spaniards. who have served at least the worship of honor, against this Improvisation? Nothing, be- cause the Americans improyise' also generals and admirais, and playing tkeir lives in war like this absolutely as when playing, they gain, lose and regain fortune in coup on the Bourse without lowering an eyelid. ."-N.
