It Was ths Last sUrlous Conflict of Our
 War With Mexico.

Chapultepec Is the name of a hill three miles southwest of the City of Mexico, rising about fifty feet above the surrounding plain. On 1t the Aztec monarchs are said to have made their summer home, and here in 17S5 Gal veg, then Yiceroy of Mexico. began to erect an imposing fortified castle, which, though never completed, was used after 1922 as a military school Tn the war between Mexico and the United States the hill was strongly fortified by the Mexicans and was the scene, on Sept. 12 and 19,, 1S47, of the last serious conflict of the war.
 After the battle of Moline del Key, Sept. 8, General Scott planned a move ment against Chapultepec and on the 18th opened a heavy bombardment, un- der cover of which, on the following day, Generals Pillow and Quitman. supported respectively by Generals Worth and Smith. made gallant as- saults, the former carrying the fortif- cations on the west and the latter on the southeast. The Mexicans. after making a stubborn defense, were driven in confusion back toward the city. On the 14th the Americans en- tered the City of Mexico. and the war was virtually ended.
 During the three days Sept l2, 13 and 14 the Americans lost S63 in killed and wounded, General Pillow being among the latter. while the Mex jeans are known to have lost a much larger number. On the side of the Americans about T,500 men were en- gagged and about 4,0O0 on the Mexican side.

CANNOT SEE
 ITALIAN SUITS

Headquarters of the Italian Ar my-The uniform of the Italian army is said to be both the ug- Hest and the least visible of any Worn in Europe, Its wearer does no even make a shadow" said one visitor recently among the party of American officials that accompanied Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page tr the front.
 Tho color is officially described as gray-green. An Engishman tried 70 convey his idea to it as fol- lows: Take some blue Nile mud, rub in carefully two pounds of ship rat hair, paint .rOan horse with the composition and them you will understand why the Aust7ians cant see the Italian soldiers in broad daylight at fifty yards"
 The color was adopted . ten years ago especially for use in mCugtain fighting. It and a Sdnu-. colored yellow for the Italian troops is expected to take part in .Atr1- can desert fighting, as in the case of the Tripoli war.
 The Italian army was among the first 10 make a science of the ques- ton Of uniform color. It did not selecf, for instance, the 'horizon-col- ored uniform adopted more than a year ago by the French because while this is the least visible on roads and plains Of a flat, open ca lntry, 1t would not do well in tse rains and 'muds and among the trees of the mountains.

A Wise Provision.

Did you ever notice when man smites his thumb with hammer while putting down a carpet under his wife's supervision how quickly he thrusts the bruised and throbbing member into his mouth7 People think 1t is because the application is soothing. But the move ment is purely involuntariy, like wink ing. The man cannot help 1t. The fact is that nature knows what a man Is apt to say under such circumstances and so has provided him with an auto matic stopper. Whenever he hits bis thumb hard enough to hurt-and 1t doesn't take a very hard blow almost to kill a man when he is doing some thing he doesn't like to do-by a sort of interlocking system his thumb flies into his mouth, and for the critical moment speech Is cut of.

 Shortly after the assassination or Emperor Paul of Russia. Tennyson, the father of the poet. dined with Lord St. HeIens. the British ambassador, In Moscow. Several Russian officers of high rank whose names he did not know were also guests During dinner A guarded reference was made to the emperors death.
 "Why do you speak so gingerly about a matter so notoriOusF cried Tennyson impulsiyely, leaning across his neighbOr. Russian whose breast was covered with orders. We know very well in England that the Emperor Paul was murdered. Count Zobor knocked him down. and Benningsen and Count PahIen strangled him"
 There was a strained silence; then the ambassador abruptly changed the subject. As the guests filed out into an adjoining room Lord St. Ielens drew Tennyson aside. Don't go into the next roum." he whispered, but fly for your life. The man next you, across whose breast you leaned, was Count Pahlen. and Zoboff was also at tue ta- ble."
 He gave a few hurried directions and Tennyson rushed off, threw his clothes into portmanteau and fled be- hind fast horses to Odessa, still in evening garb, though the cold was tn- tense. He lay hidden for weeks and at last, In the disguise of a servant, was smuggled on board an English frigate
