THE VATICAN.
Something About This Very Famous

Something About This Very Famous
Old Building in the City of Rome.
The vatican covers a space of twelve
hundred feet in length and one thou
sand feet in breadth, and is the largest
palace in the world. 1t is in Rome, on
the right bank Of the river Tiber, and
on the Vatican hill from which it de-
rives its name. 1t is said to have been
founded by Pope Synlmachus, who
erected small house on its site about
300 A. D., On this site, too, a building
was inhabited by Charlemagne in 800.
Several times it has fallen into decay
and been restored. Pope Eugenius re-
built it on magnificent scale in 1850.
In 1905, Clement V. removed the papal
see from Rome to Avignon, and the vat
lean was in q neglected and obscure
state for many years. Nicholas ", in
1850 commenced the great work of
making it the noble palace that it now
is. After the return of the pontifical
court to Rome, 1t became the actual
residence of the pope. One after an
other, a long line of popes have added
splendid buildings to it, and at present
the lowest estimate gives the number of
rooms at 4,422 Gradually it has been
enriched with great paintings, statues,
books, curious medals, gems, frescoes
and antiquities of every description,
until it is now the worlds richest de-
postory. The museum of Statuary is
about a mile in length and contains
more than seventy thousand statues
that have been eXhumed from the ru-
ined temples and palaces of Rome. The
vatican contains the Sistine chapel,
built by Sixtus w, 1873, and adorned
by the wonderful genius of Michael An
gelo; the Pauline chapel built by Paul
Ill, in 1910; the Loggia and Stanze of
Raphael, and the court of the Belve-
| dere. The library of the vatican is tru-
| ~ a great one. 1t is exceedingly rich in
manuscripts, containing as many as
forty thousand, some of which are by
Pliny, ST. Thomas and St Charles Bor-
romeo, and many Hebrew, Arabian,
Syrian and Armenian Bibles. 1t has
about fifty thousand printed volumes,
and several rich museums of ancient
and modern articles or vertu.

WASHINGTON's BIRTHDAY

We may reckon Feb, %, as one of our
Oldest holidays for, though no Legis-
lature had that time set it apart as a
legal holiday, the regular celebration Of
Washington's birthday began in 1888.
On Feb. % of that year party of gen.
tleman met in a tavern in New York,
says the Evening Sun. One of them
had written an ode on Washington, an
other brought a list of tracts still
others had prepared speeches. There
was great feasting patriotic toasts
We're drunk and before the company
went singing home they agreed to meet
together on every coming Feb. 20 in
honor of their countrys chief Other
little knots of friends followed their
example, and before long the celebra ton
became general Though not publicly
recognized, wherever there were a score
or more of houses the people gladly de-
voted at least few hours of the day
to jollity and good cheer.
The celebration of the day gradually
grew in Importance till in the beginning
of this century. Every theater on that
day brought out some new play and
made itself gay with flags and trans
parencies. Taverns spread their best
cheer. There were balls and bonfires
barbecues and cannonading, bell ring
ing, feasting and toasts. A glance over
the Gazettes and Advertisers of that
period shows that it was quite the end
of March before they ceased to publish
accounts of the festivities which had
taken place in every city and town in
the land.
Washington was born sefore the
adoption in England of the Gregorian
calendar, and was, therefore born on
Feb. II, old style. For a long time
some of his most ardent admirers per-
sisted in celebrating this day rather
than the 22d. We find as late
as 1895 certain certain counties
in which men of the old school
were unwilling to adopt the new calen-
dar. at least so far as concerned the
birthday of the father of their country

unintentional negligence, it was frozen
to death. He continues;
II found that the singing or whistling
mouse Is by no means exceptional and
frequently heard them in Chicago and
in North and South Dakota, where they
are numerous. I found that the inciscr
