The reservists of Italy | have been begging to be permitted to take their mandoins with them to the front, for if the Italian is an or: gan grinder for commercial purposes | gbroad he is a mandolin player for { his. own affairs of love and war at' | home. A contingency unprovided for int connection with ftaly's intervention' | according to Music, has been the de- | mand for Italian national music in England. Theater and restaurant orchestras in Ilondon have shown such ap eagerness to add it to their tepertoires 'that a prominent Italian, | | publishing hoifse in London has heen | unable to cope with the demand. The Mameli hymn, "Fratelli d'Italia," | | which was sung with fervor diring the last war with Austria, has been | completely sold out and bids fair to} rank. next to the "Marcia Reale" as| the most popular Italian composi-| tion duping the present campaign. | Both Mercantini's famous "Hymn to| Garibaldi" and "The Bersaglieri," { the song of Italy's crack regiment, | however, wid? give it a close #fn for| second place, | Sp -------- i | Coaling Warships At Sea. How the British vessels of war are : coaled, while sailing through heavy | seas ata rate of twelve miles an | hour, without hindering their aetivi-| 128 in any way, is told in the Man] chester Guardian: | A collier, packed to the hatches .with coal, gets into touch by wireless| with a battleship whose bunkers need | to be replenished. On sighting the| vessel, "the supply ship manoeuvres until it is within' four hundred foot of the battleship. The collier then dispatches .a small boat that carries two. cables; one end of each is at- tached 'to the masthead of the supply vessel. The lines pay out as the boat advances, and. when it reaches the warship .the sailors fasten the | cablés to the stern of the ship-on the| port and starboard sides. The two ships, therefore, travel in! a straight line fastened together | while from the mast of the coil;er to the deck of the warship stretches al transport .cable for carrying coal bags. Sacks of coal that weigh al ton are hoisted from the foot of the| collier's mast to a platform at is head, below which there is a net to protect deck hands pieces of coal. the from falling By means of whea:s that run on cable, automatic winches force the load along" the sloping transport line at a rate of three thousand feet a minyte. On| reaching the deck of the battleship the load, is 'automatic ly released, and the transpopter starts on its re- turn. journey.

Then the biggest raven came close and looked at her, and he Said: 3 "See that chain with a little ring. Why, that little ring belonged to our 'Sister. Don't you remembér? This must be our sistér." So they sat there by her bedside until she awoke, and when she saw them she said: "Aren't you my brothers?" "Yes," said the oldest raven. "We know you by the little ring that you wore when we weré at home," little girl. > "No, said the brother, "we don't." "Won't you come home with me then and be good and I Em sure.that mother will fix it so that you can.he boys instead of ravens." ) "Ah said the biggest raven, 'could we truly be good eneugh for that?" : "I am sure little girl. "Then we will go home," ravens. And the biggest raven said: "Here is something I want you to | to take home with you when you go," | and he handed his sister a little case.
