for his protection and for the safe keep
ing Of the glorious art treasures en-
shrined in the Vatican some 250 picked
men.
OF all these Papal soldiers none are
so striking as the Swiss, whose appear
ance Is a perfect feast to the eyes for
form and color as they stand at the
gateways to the Vatican. With the
greatest difficulty the writer managed
to make a sketch of this guard, which
gives a perfectly accurate representa-
tion Of the remarkable uniform they
wear, so striking in it's originality and
splendid defiance of convention, that 1t
is typical of the genius of Michael An
gelo. In their ordinary everyday cos.
tune the Swiss wear kind Of muffin
cap of black with a red band, but on
Sundays they don black and gold he'll
met, and on special feast days, or at
times of rejoicing, this helmet Is sup
plemented with gigantic white plume.
These three forms of headdress, how
ever, are said to have been of much
later invention than the rest of the uni
form, as Michael Angelo intended the
Guards to go bareheaded. The uniform
itself is yellow, black and red in color,
the black being very black, the red a
crimson scarlet, and the yellow a pure
bright chrome. The stockings are
striped black and yellow, and the shoes
are black with large bows. The bay
onet of the rifle Is the old-fashioned
long sword-bayonet, and not the short
stabblng knife which Is now almost
universally used. The drummers of this
corps wear similarly shaped tunic and
breeches, but instead of being black,
yellow and red, their uniform is red and
white with red stockings. On great oc-
casions, when helmet Is worn at all,
the men wear a white ruff around the
neck, but this is absent in ordinary cos
tune, and on occasions of state the
rifles are replaced by halberds. The
great-coat, which is a modern inven-
ton, Of course, Is a blush gray with
brass buttons and two large red tags
on the front of the turned-down collar.
The officers Of this Guard have breech-
es Of alternate scarlet and crimson, and
tunic Of braided black.

from a dangerous visitor. Since he
was willing to see almost any one who
asked for him, he once told his servant
to usher into his study a gentleman
who had called, and who happened to
bear name which was familiar to
him.
When the gentleman appeared he
proved to be an entire stranger. 1t was
evident there had been some mistake.
This became still more evident when,
advancing with an air of great excite
ment. the gentleman exclaimed: "Sir,
l have a message to the Queen from
the Most High. l beg that you deliver
1t instantly"
I'm that case" said the dean, taking
up his hat, there is not moment to
be lost. Let us go at once" They
went downstairs into the hail. and,
opening the door, the dean requested
his visitor to step out. No sooner had
he done so than the dean shut the door
behind the lunatic.

PALACE OF THE POPE,
Holy See the Smallest Sovereign State
in urOpe.


in urope.
The smallest sovereign state in Eu-
rope is the Holy See at Rome, which, by
the Law of Guarantees, passed by the
Italian Government in 1871, includes
the Pope's Palace of the Vatican and
the Vatican gardens. which are con-
nected with the palace by two separate
extensions of the building. There are
in addition the Palace of the Lateran
and the Castle of Gandolfo, the latter
being considered the Pope's country
house, though it has never been occu-
pied by him since the entry of the Ital-
ian troops into Rome. 1t will be we'll
known that his Holiness, as a matter Of
principle, and as a protest against the
annexation Of the Roman States to the
Kingdom of Italy, never quits the mar
row limits Of the palace and garden still
belonging to him. The palace is an
enormous rambling building of not par
ticularly handsome structure, and of
various styles, dating back in its oldest
portions only as far as the fifteenth cen
tury. 1t Is said to contain as many as
1,1OO apartments. Only small portion
Is reserved for the actual personal use
of the Pope, the bulk of the accommo-
dation being given up to the offices of
the many organizations he controls, to
the residences of Papal officials, and to
the housing of the Papal guards.
These latter consist of four bodies of
men. Firstly, there is the Guardia No
bile, who as their name indicates are
recruited from men of good birth and
are practically a small cavalry force
about fifty in number. Then comes
tie celebrated Swiss Guard, recruited
chiefly among the German-speaking
Swiss, but whose components must alb
solutely be subjects of Switzerland.
This Swiss Guard has existed for some
centurieS. They wear uniforms de-
signed by Michael Angelo, and are
about 100 in number Then there are
the Palatine Guards, of which there are
eighty, and a small number of gen.
darmes so that the Pope has about him
