had escaped safe and was now on her
way to mingle congratulations with her
most affeetionate son. The ship had
done its offices, but as 1t turned out, the
old lady could swim like duck and the
whole result had been to refresh and in
vigorate her with a little sea bathing.
Disguised with the miscarriage of his
aesthetic attempts at matricide, Nero
had his mother bundled off and executed.

and hurtful war" This caused fierce
reaction throughout Italy which resulted
in bringing the national war to a disas-
trous close, and Austria resumed her ty-
ranny.
At the congress of Paris 1856, Cavour
proclaimed the menacng dangers of Aus
trian and papal misrule and urged the
withdrawal of French and Austrian
troops. In 1869 Victor Emanuel pro-
claimed from the Sandman parliament
his intention of aiding Italy in her strug-
gle against Austria, and he joined forces
with France in the Austrian war of 1859
Parma, Modena and the Emilian provinces
were incorporated with Sardinia in 1860
and also the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
In March of tho same year Victor E~'s''-

southern provinces, followed by Umbria
and the March of Ancona, were next in
corporated, and the government was

created duchy for the rightful Duke of
Parma whose hereditary estate was con-
ferred on Maria Louisa, ex-empress of the
French; the papal states to the pope; the
kingdom of Naples to the Bourbons. Thus
Italy was cast again at the feet of the
papacy and of Austria.
From 1895 to 1925 italy became the battle
ground of the fierce struggle between
France and Germany. The ascendency
o. the latter became thoroughly estab
lished and Germany appointed rulers of
her own selection over the various Ital-
Ian provinces.
Joseph Mazzini voiced the first ten
dency toward national unity when upon
the accession of Charles Albert to the
Piedmont throne, he urged that monarch
to become liberator and leader of Italy.
The French revolution impaired a strong
impulse and the great revolution was in
augurated in Italy in 1S4S by a stimuli
tareous outbreak in Milan and Sicily.
Charles Albert became the avowed cham
pion of independence and all the Italian
sovereigns contributed troops to the
cause while Pope Plus pronounced a sol
emn benediction on their banners. But
Plus wavered in his enthusiasm and
launched severe censure of this unjust

OlHtF NCITTYeTdtOTS.
The Odorless differs from every
known system of refrigeration. To
keep food fresh is essential to the
life and health of the family in all
seasons. Old methods of building re-
frigerators do not embrace correct
ideas of air circulation; GOODNESS alone
will not preserve food. 1t must be
dry cold. The circulation of the Odor-
