ALPINE Troops.
Soldiers Of Italy Who Maneuvsr Liter.
ally Above the Clouds.

~ aiiy ApoNo tHo Olouuss
> William G.. Fitz-Gerald writes of
The Alpine soldiers of Italy: Cali
these soldier mountaineers are crack
shots, and it is difficult to see how
one of the forts held by them amid
the great granite powders and ter
rible pinnacles and spires of the
Great st. Bernard could ever be
forced BY an enemy in the face of
these troops, who would act as
scouts, crawling up precipices and
planting themselves on wild and
seemingly inaccessible spots, whence
they would pour an invisible fire
which nothing could withstand
These Alpine troops when scouting
OF reconnoitering in the mountains
use curious kind of rifle rest, form
ed by three alpenstocks and one of
the pillows they use at night when
they sleep in the snow. For, strange
as it may seem, these men when bv-
ouacking at great attitudes do not
trouble to put up tents, but merely
dig out cayerns in the vast snow
drifts and line these with water
proof sheets and blankets and there
sleep amid dreary Alpine desolations
as comfortably as though they were
, down on earth in a comfortable city
bed.
''The life of the men is magniti-
Gently healthy and exhilarating, as
may be seen by the bright eyes, rosy
cheeks and clear compilations Of
party of scouts that come glissading
like lightning down the slopes of
frozen snow on their long curving
,skees, guided and supported by the
'alpenstock. The troops also carry
arctic sledges for the transport of
their wounded, and sometimes real
istic demonstrations are given, when
one or several men will lie at full
length on these sledges and be drag
ged or glissaded over glacier and
snowfield."
Of Sunday in the Swiss Alps: 'It
is a fact that these troops maneuver
literally above the clouds, and there
is no more impressive spectacle than
a Sunday morning service in some
little icy recess al 5000 or 10000
feet, when the chaplain of the regi-
ment mounts into rude portable
pulpit and discoursc' to the assem-
bled soldiers who are shivering in
their furs even though it be July or
August. The members OF the band
play the hymns, which reverberate
through the awful desolations of
glacier and snow peak. Chicago

"Pin Money"

Pins were unknown at the begin

people used a sort of wooden skewer,
while he rich used silver, bone or
lockwood. When pins first came into
use they were so expensive that only
fashionable people could indulge i'll
them, and they were given as New
Year gifts and greatly appreciated,
1t became customary at last for hus-
bands to give their wives the money
to buy them instead, and so the
term pin money" meaning an al

QUEER coINcIDENcEs.
Andrew Lang Tells About Clock and
Letter.

Here is real curious coincidence,
reported to me by Il Trustworthy
friend, My friend paid Il visit, with
il companion, also known To me, TO
a lady. On the chimneypicce OF the
drawing room was a black marble
clock, not going, and near it small
round clock in working order. Sud
denly child OF the lady Of the
house, standing on the hearth rug,
raid, Mother, the big clock" (the
black marble clock) is ticking"
''Impossiblcn' said his mother. 1T
has not licked for many month.
| broke the pendulum myself" Ev-
cry one present then examined the
marble clock, which Vas ticking
away steadily, and the coincidence
was that ii had taken up the time
correctly and was in accord with the
small clock beside it, No one had
touched the black marble clock.
OF this coincidence can only Of
fer the explanation which must al
ready have occurred to every reader.
Somebody in the house must have
got the clock mendcr to m,nd the
marble clock without informing the
lady of the house. The clock must
have been set to the right time, and
neither the lady nor her visitors
happened to notice its ticking till it
was observed by the child on the
hearth rug. If this view be dis
proved, then there was a genuine
miracle-a clock going, or ticking al
all events, with II broken pendulum.
Such is the weakness OF human tes-
timony that my friend does not tell
me whether the BIG clocks hands
were moving or whether it only
ticked.
! know nothing analogous to
clock that licked without going ex-
cept "A queer story of letter, which
is youched for by the signatures of
the persons who wrote the narrative
and who stuck to it when cross ex-
amined orally. They were brother
and sister, living together. One
evening letter came to their house
directed to their care, but address
ed to a third person, who did not
live with them. The sister placed
the letter on the chimneypiece,
meaning to put ON the proper ad-
dress. Presently the letter began
to tick like a watch and kept on
ticking. The brother came in and
heard the ticking. They examined
the letter, could find no explana-
ton and next morning carried the
strange epistle to the person for
whom it was meant. The letter
proved TO be extremely important,
though the envelope was not marked
"Immediate," like envelopes con-
tanning advertisements. Apparent
ly the letter, like all matter, accord
ing to Haeckel, was not destitute Of
consciousness and knew that it was
in a hurry. OF course, the black
marble clock may on these principles
have had not only consciousness, bpt
conscience, and said to itself: "Let
Inc fulfill the purpose of my being.
Go | cannot without pendulum,
but tick l can and will" None the
less the normal explanation seems
the better Andrew Lang in Illus
trated London News.

The aRacs of the zoophxtss.u

Much OF the superstition in poet
ry, says Andrew Wilson in the Lon
don Graphic, is due to the imperfec-
tions of science. Crabbe, for exam
pie, wrote of the Zoophytes that he
styled "a race, which science, doubt
ing, knows not where TO place" In
Crabbe's days at Aldborough he be
came familiar with the sea flowers"
with which the sea wrack was often
mixed. TO him they represented
singular growths that were neither
animal nor vegetable. Yet even i'll
Crabbe's day the zoophytes We're
known to represent colonies of ami
mails growing in The strange yerisi-
Multitude of plants. At the very
least the poet committed no vital
error, for he knew the race involved
in sea wrack' was living one, and
he duly commented on the difficulty
of science placing it in any category
of satisfactory kind.
