THE PoPE's SWISS GUARD.
It is Four Hundred Years Since II
First Appeared at the Vatican.

$3.50 +AAAr@hAe
That prince Of journalists Bur-
chard, describes, under the date OF
January %, 1906, how he saw
sturdy band Of $50 Swiss soldiers
enter Rome and receive a most cor
dial welcome from the relgning pom
tiff, julius III They were the first
band of that famous corps, known as
the Swiss Guard, which forms such a
characteristic feature Of the Vatican
life of to-day. This afternoon the
fourth centenary of its establish
ment was celebrated with solemnity
in the Vatican, when Cardinal Merry
del Val unveiled commemorative
tablet in the barracks of the corps
and Herr Virz. councillor OF the
Swiss Federation, delivered an elo-
qnent panegyric on the long career
Of faithful service rendered to the
Roman pontiffs by this chosen body
guard. He referred to that terrible
scene on May 6, 1927. the day which
opened the Sack Of Rome by the
constable Of Bourbon. Clement VII.
had taken refuge in the castle Of
SAINT Angelo, selecting a dozen men
of the Swiss Guard to protect his
person and leaving the rest, ESQ in
number, at st. Peters to endeavor
to save the shrine Of the Prince Of
the Apostles from pillage. They
were not successful, but they allowed
themselves to be hacked to pieces, to
the very last man, before the invad-
ers were able to penetrate into the
basilica
For twenty years after that fatal
day, the Swiss Guard was practically
nonresident, but in 1548 $50 volun-
teers again enrolled themselves in
the service of the Pope, and from
that day until this the corps has re-
manned more or less at that strength.
Michelangelo is commonly credited
with the design for the picturesque
uniform they have worn for the last
four centuries--without the slight
est foundation. Plus VI. made ODE
dience very hard far his faithful
Swiss in 1898, when he ordered them
to lay down their arms and permit
the French revolutionary troops to
penetrate into the apostolic palace
Of the Quirinal. Even Plus TX, hop
ing to assuage the passions Of the
Roman mob, consented to disband
the Swiss and replace them by a
civic guard, but the events of the fol-
lowing months obliged him to re-
consider his decision. and the guard
has survived to celebrate its fourth
centenary to-day.-The Tablet.

THE GRAVEL PATTI

To tidy housewife gravel walk.
Is often an annoyance. Unless 1t is
continually looked after it will get
untidy, and then it does look SO for
Torn. IN France the practical natives
have invented preparation with
which they freely water gravel paths
and roads and thus save much time
and many a backache. Here is the
rule for it: Ten gallons of water,
twenty pounds Of lime, two pounds
of -four Of sulphur. Rr all together
In an iron kettle. u cold pour
on the clear part az SO on the
walks, being very careful not to get
any of the mixture on grass or flower
beds. Buffalo Times.

equipped with such chairs, it would
be easy to create passageways for
persons to walk when taking and
leaving their seats. In case Of fire,
an easy exit could be made. In the
picture a portion of the floor is
shown in which there is a recess or
counter-sunk portion. This recess
corresponds in depth and size to the
seat and back of the chair. The back
folds upon the seat, and when both
are lowered into the recess smooth,
surface is established which can
readily be walked over by persons
without endangering their lives.
Supporting the seat of the chair is a
rod which can be released and low
cred into an opening in the centre
of the recess.

Scales. jars, strainer, colander,
SKINNER, silver spoon, perforated
wooden spoon, preserving kettle, jelly
bag, measuring cup, funnel, tray,
dishpan, towels, holders, and plenty
of hot water and big kitchen table.
For a small far II select pint jars;
for a large family quart jars are bet-
ter than half-gallon. Do not use old,
stiff rubbers; thew are not safe. Fill
each Jar full of water, seal and in
vert II it leaks. do not use it, no
matter how slight the leak. The
trouble may be with the rubber, or
the top, or some flaw in the jar top.
Remedy the evil If you can, but do
not attempt to use until all leakage
is stopped, using the rubber and top
with the jar that has been tested.
Canning must be done right, or it is
but a waste of time and material.

Artificial pumice stone is now
being made by mixing sand and
clay. Natural pumice stone for in
dustrial purposes comes from the
islands Of Lipari, and is nothing
but lava which was cooled rapidly
under strong development Of gases.
1t is not firm enough to last well;
so the artificial variety, made in five
grades, again demonstrates the SUI
periority Of art over nature--some-

CANNIBALISM IN NIGERIA
DIR. Stewart, Who Accompanied an
Expedition to the Interior of the
Country the Victim.

Liverpool, Jan. 1.-The steamer
Olenda of the Elder-D empster line.
which arrived here today. brought a
horrible story of cannibalism in Nige-
ria, of which DR.. Stewart of the
Southern Nigerian government, was
the victim. The doctor accompanied an
expedition to the interior, but was sep
arated from the main body. With only
few carriers he proceeded to Gala
bar river He was riding a bicycle
and, being outstripped by the carriers,
missed the main road and ran INTO the
village of a hostile tribe.
The carriers, returning, found Dr.
Stewards bicycle and later parts of his
body. Joining the main force, they
gave information as to their discov-
cry. The investigation which followed
showed that the body had been hOr-
ribly mUtilated, and there was I'M
doubtedly evidence that it had been
partially eaten.
It is stated that the village is only
two days march from Calabar river.
It is known that the natives often in
