1taly's smuggler-tight Fence.

London Mall.
 Spurred thereto by the losses sustained through smuggling. the Italian Govern ment has determined to erect along the Swiss Italian frontier many miles or metallic netting covered with bells. The object is to prevent contrabandists send ing over the frontier dogs and other an- imals loaded with dutiable goods-a device which has proved very profitable to snug glers in the past, as 1t was carried out mainly at night. when the guards could not sec the dogs, of course, being trained to carry their load to the smugglers &C., complices in the next country. The net ting has not as yet been carried the en- tire length of the frontier but 1t will be extended shortly. No one can climb over it, nor can parcels of any kind be thrown. over. as it is too high, and when it is touched the numerous bells start changing and attract the atteption Of the customs officers. Experiments have prov ed that the cost of the device will be fully covered by the extra duties obtained from persons who would otherwise escape, and in the course of time a profit will be re- alized for the Government.

Initiating Bret Harte. :.

A Bret Harte story comes from Chicago
 and concerns Sam" Davis, Nevada ed- flor and ranchman. He was a contem- porary of Bret Harte and Mark Twain on the Pacific coast, and soon after Harte' success made the remark at dinner that any modern author could be successful and bet an oyster and wine supper that Davis could not initiate Bret Harte. In. side of a week Davis had written and published a poem called 'Binley and '46,
 which was said to have been found in an old trunk which Bret Harte had left be- hind him on departing from San Fran cisco. The poem was copied all over the country, and its authenticity was not auegtioned, one New York paper going so far as to reproduce 1t with illustrations. When that happened, Owens paid his bet

 The life story of Rouget de Lisle, who wrote and composed the national song of France, has recently been told under "A Daily Lesson in History" In French seiilaise sei is because esas is ~aS first sung in Paris by troops from MarseiNes during the French Revolution. The name given by De Lisle is translated, War Song for an oiiicsr in that army. was . guest of the Mayor of Strasburg One winter night in 17S2. while they were ealing garrison bread and ham, the mayor declared that in his oeliar to inspire De Lisle to com pose a patriotic song for the public cer- emonies shortly to take place in Stras- burg. After dinner De IAsle sought his once sat down at the plano. and between writing and piaytng and singing even, tually composed La Marseillaise," and then thoroughly exhausted, fell asleep ing. able to compose every note of the song, he immediately wrote 1t down and ried tt to his friand.

De Lsie himself, proscr4oed as . royalist, heard, while fytng for his life in the Jura mountains. the song as men, known air. asked his guide what It was called. He died in 1858. The following translation was published in 17s5. It is not at all literal.
 Ye sons of Freedom. wake to glory!
 Hark! hark, what myrtads bid you rise Your children, wives. and grandsires Behold their tears and hear their cries. Shall hateful tyrants. mischiefs breeding. With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Alright and desolate the land, While peace and liberty lie bleeding?

 Now. now. the dangerous storm is seowi- Which treacherous kings. confederate. The dogs of war let loose are bowling. And lol our fields and cities blaze; And shall we basely view the ruin,
 While lawless force, with guilty stride Spreads desolation far and wide. With crimes and blood his hands im-

 March oni march on! all hearts resolved To victory or death!
 With luxury and pride surrounded,
 The vile insatiate despots dare, Their thirst of power and gold unoounded To mete and vend the light and air; Like beasts of burden would they load us. Like Gods would bid their slaves adore: But man is man and who is more? Then shall they longer lash and soad us? To armsl to arms! ye brave!

 March on! march on! all hearts resolved To victory or death.
 O, Libertyi can man resign thee,
 Once having felt thy generous flame? Can dungeons, bolts and bars connne thee, Oh whips thy noble spirits tame? Too long the world has wept, bewatling That faisehood's dagger tyrants wteld; But Freedom is our sword and shield, And all their arts are unavailing.

Maine

The untimely death of former Speaker Reed brings up the subject of Maine the twenty-third State in the Union, the Pine Tree State. the Lumber State, the land of the Foxes. Reed, says Tip, In The New York Press. was the biggest man the State ever grew. Blaine. whose name and fame were so intimately associated with Maine, was a native of Pennsylva- mia, therefore an adopted son of the orig Inai "New England" Maine has given us one President-Hannibal Hamlin. She has never produced a President; oe- ing 0eo9rauhically put of it. But Blaine lost by a close shave. Reed missed the nomination in 1896. She has afforded us a Secretary of State, two Secretaries of the Treasury, Postmaster General and the widow Gower, fair Nordica.

Paris police in the art of describing facea An interesting part of the instruction is that special value is attached to the ear. No two ears are alike. Therefore, that organ is chosen as the basis of the sys- tenn employed. Close attention Is also given to noses. Each policeman gets an album containing 1000 photoghaphs-full face and profile-of persons expelled from Paris. To facilitate the research these portraits are grouped methodically ac- cording to height, ear and nose. It is believe that when the police become fa- miliar with Bertillons system recogni- tion of criminals will be greatly facili- tated.
