ferred to the corporation counsel, who de-
c1ded that the District authorities could not
sell the bonds without the express author
ity from Congress.
The bonds were received by the former
corporations Of the cities Of Washington
and Georgetown, from the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal company, in exchange for like
amount Of stock issued by those corpora
tons under ordinances approved in 1847, to
assist the canal company to construct the
canal and its appurtenances
All OF this stock was subsequently pre-
scented to and duly redeemed by those
municipalities. so that the debentures I'M
der consideration practically represent a
cash loan made by them to that company
The District Of Columbia is entitled to any
proceeds that may be derived from the
disposal Of these obligations, as 1t super
ceded the corporations of the cities of
Washington and Georgetown, and sue
ceeded to all their rights, title and interest
therein.
The Commissioners deem 1t advisable that
this Indebtedness should be made an avail

posed bill, so that they will be in a DO

Prince Philip Orsini attempted to retire

The Swiss Guard.
1t is not safe to place any reliance in the
rumors that you hear from Rome these
days, particularly - those which promise
radical changes in the policy and the
habits Of the pope. Every casual remark
he drops is received as of great moment
and he often says things that sound more
serious than he intended. For example,
in his democratic and simple nature the
pope has no love of ceremony, and when
he observed to a friend not long ago that
he would like to ge- rid of the Swiss
guard the rumor at once, gained circulation
that he had decided to abolish them, but
he has no intention Of doing SO. They
are not an expensive luxury and some
substitute would have to be supplied be-
cause the pope cannot remain unprotected
These guards, which date back to the
middle ages, are not mercenaries for they
receive no salaries and only s. a month to
pay for their rations. and are volunteers
from the best Catholic families of Switzer-
land Their gorgeous uniform was de-
signed by Michael Angelo at the command
Of Pope julius II and they have ever since
served faithfully as bodyguard for his
holiness. There Is no doubt that the pope
regards their constant attendance as a
nuisance. He prefers to be alone. He has
never been accustomed to a bodyguard.
but especially with the freedom he has In
troduced at his receptions they are alb
solutely necessary for the protection of
his life. and no matter how much he dis
likes ostentation and display he cannot dis
pense with them.
You have also doubtless seen the state
ment that the pope promised an old friend,
the abbot of a monastery In the Apprentices,
that he would soon visit him. That report
is due to remark his holiness made In the
hearing of a dozen persons as the abbot
was taking leave of him, and 1t created a
great sensation. The next morning Rome
was full of rumors that the pope was
about to leave the Vatican, but he has no
intention of doing SO. The vote of the
conclave of cardinals which elevated him
to the throne made him a prisoner for
life.

Utilizing the Cat.

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that a woman
OF Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more OF the
wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her cat up In
her parlor--the parlor is directly below
the bathroom-and into the basin OF
the defective washstand she poured a
vial Of the oil of valerian. Cats are ex-
cessively fond Of the odor of valerian.
A cat would rather inhale this odor
than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's 5
cat after It had been 10 the parlor a
few minutes began TO pur. Purring, II
crossed the room. II settled itself on
the floor with its face to one spot on
the wall, and here its mistress found II
when she came downstairs, its nose
glued to the spot, smiling and purring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point
and here, sure enough, the leak was
found. Here the valerian had trickled
through, impartlng its intoxicating
odor to the cat Philadelphia Record.

Those who imagine that the care Of

natural grinders with false ones is
something new under the SUM- may
be surprised to learn that artificial
teeth were made OF ivory, placed on
plates of the same material and held
together and in place by gold wires and
rivets 500 to 1000 years before Christ.
Herodotus, ''the father of history" tells
US that the Egyptians of the fifth dy-
nasty understood the diseases OF the
teeth and their treatment. There are
several passages in history to lead one
to the belief that both Caesar and An
tony wore artificial teeth.
The date OF the introduction OF falls,

were known in England as early al
