{ The untrained big man will beat the untrained little man at fisticuffs or ill a wrestling match, but in trained arm ies weight tells for very little. So long as their armies were recruited from the cities and villages of Italy, the srfiall-1imbed Romans defeated the large-1imbed Germans in almost every encounter, and this although the men of the forest were hunters. lived in the open air, and ate, it is always as
 suined, quantities of meat. The wiry little Roman who took blows from a
 vine stock from his own officer must have been one of the best soldiers who ever lived. It was after Rome had enlisted the big barbarians in scores of thousands that her standards went back in battle. The slight and pallid
 Saracen drove the picked soldiers of Europe out of Palestine. If armor is any test, lthe sheroes of the middle ages were comparatively little men.

Carroll soon hove in sight. When the former saw the attractions in the win dow his wrath knew no bounds. He did not know what happened. He was on the point of calling the police when shout from within the. store inform ed the we'll known bottler that some thing was doing.

The crown of Portugal, which King Carlos has just taken out of pawn, is a most highly prized ornament. Sew eral years ago, when his majesty need ed ready cash, he gave it as security for loan which, while considerable, was in no wise commensurate with the value of the crown. It is said that the king took the crown out of pawn not so much as. a matter of pride as for future use in the way of a pledge with which to raise money. He was given pecuniary assistance by Edward of England. The gems in the royal bau- ble are said to be worth $6,eoo, ,0o0.- Albany Argus. ss
