THE BERSAGLIERI,
GHaOK iNfANTRY
Italy's Plumed Troops Fines!
Rlfiemsn In World.
Of the several corps that make up
the Italian army none are more famous
than the bersaglierl, Italy's plumed
warriors, who are regarded as the
finest infantry rillemeu In the world.
Originally formed In 1830 by General
Allessandro de la Marmora as a por
tion of the newly organized Sardinian
army, they took part In the Crimean
war and acquitted themselves splen
didly. The dress of the bersaglleri is
of the most picturesque type, consist
ing of a dark blue uniform with red
facings, but it Is the headdress which
Is the soldier's greatest glory. This
comprises a low crowned black slouch

hat with a very wide btitn and deco
rated with drooping plumes of green
cock's leathers. Although only paid at
the rate of one penuy a day. the mem
bers of this uiu:uul. corps save up their
coppers in oui. tb..c tlioy muy be able
to ob!:.iu f< r t'; :use'.vcj j luuies of bet
ter quality at l richer hue than thoso
provided by the government.
Every iretiil or t f the bersaglierl Is a
picked man. chosen for his stamina
and strength. When out marching
these soldiers don't walk, but go at
a sort of trot. So well trained are they
and such are tlw lr pi.wore of endurance
that they can keep u;> this trot for
hours. Every man of them is an ath
lete. and whether performing the ordi
nary functions of a soldier or going
through the n:ost intricate evolutions
of military drill, lie displays a proficien
cy and an ability th.it could only coino
from long and careful training.

THE GARDENS OB! ALASKA
(Continued from page'l.)
pansies—all growing there In, & riot
of color and so large it's hf.rdly be
lievable.
The Inhabitants were getting
ready for a horticultural fair, where
these products of their gardens
wer« to be exhibited jrith the pro
ducts of theJr farms.
"Find out something about farm
lug in Alaska," was the admoni
tion of a friend Just before I sailed,
aud here was my first glimpse of
it. I'm almost afraid *o tell you
the 8tea of the cabbagcs, the
rhubarb, the turnips and the berries
thc-y grow. It takeB from thirteen
to twenty-six strawberries to fill a
quart box, and If you hare any Im
agination you may guess how largo
they have to be. One cabbage on
exhibition weighed sixty-five pounds
and sixty-two pounds of rhubarb
came from a single hill.
Do these figures leave you cold?
Remember, thpn, that this is a land
of ice-clad hills from which we do
no* exuect anything more than coal,
iron and gold.
Across the way from Skagway,
which was the entrance to the
White Horse Pass, i' Dyea, which
twen<v yeanB ago wao a thriving and
rival town of twenty thousand too
ple. It lay at the entrance to the
ChJteooj Pass, and all those search
ers after the pot of gold at the end
of tne rainbow bad to take one of
these two roads to fortune.
Dyea Bhows even less tro.ce of
the spirit of her youth than
SkagwRr. Mrs. Pullen has bought
the townsite for a farm, and where
tho dance hall and the Baloon flour
ished riotously there is a potato
crop. All the delicacies necesasry
to tickle the palate of the Eastern
tourist are being grown bere, and
the only Inhabitants are the farm
hands who conspire with the sum
mer sun to coax these vegetable
prodigies.
The great scenic trip over the
White Horee railway, where one
climbs a height of twenty-eight
thousand feet In twenty miles fol
lowing the old trail, rerveala the
faces of several other deserted
cities, where men drank deep
of the> excitement of life for a while
and t-aceed on, leaving them to tho
fate of towns that spring in, a night
cut of the nothing into the here.
They say little of the past, but
enough to help the imaginative one
to travel back over the trail of
'98 atid get Just a glimpse of life
as it was when, they were young.
