Vegetable Diet.

The Vatican

The word " Vatican" il often assd, but
port. 1t may not be amiss to snlightsn
such Of our readers as may be at fault In
this particular. The term refers TO col
lection Of buildings on one of the seven hills
Of Rome, which covers n space Of LOO feet
in length and 1000 feet In breadth 1t Is
built on the spot once occupied by the
garden Of the cruel Nero. It owesits origin
to the Bishop Of Rome, who. IN the early
part of the sixth century. erected . humble
residence on its site. About the year ll60
Pope Eugenius rebuilt 1t on . magnificent
scale. Innocent IL, a few years Afterwards,
gave it mp as q lodging to Peter II, King
of Arragon. In 1905. Clement ", at the
instigation Of the King Of France. removed
theP npal See from Rome to Avignon, while
the Vatican remained In o condition Of OBJ
security and neglect for more than seventy
years. But soon after the return Of the
Pontifcal Court to Rome-an event which
had been 20 earnestly prayed for by poor
Petrarch. and which finally took place In
1870 the Vatican was put into q state Of re-
pair, again enlarged. and It was thence
forward considered as the regular palace
and residence Of tho Popes. who, ono after
the other. added fresh buildings to 1t, and
gradually encircled 1t with antiquities,
statues. pictures. and books, untilit became
the richest depository in the world. The
library Of the Vatican was commenced
1.4oo years ago. It contains 10000 manu-
scripts, among which are some by Pliny, st.
Thomas. st. Charles Boromeo. and many
Hebrew. Syrian. Arabian and Armenian
Bibles. The whole Of the Immense build
ings composing the Vatican are filed with
statues found beneath tho ruins Of ancient
Rome, with painting by the masters and
with curious medals and antiquities Of
almost every description. When it IL known
that there have been exhumed more than
10000 statues from the ruined temples and
palaces Of Rome. the reader can form some
idea Of the richness Of the Vatican
