The old customs, and with them

THE PoPE'S SWISS GUARD.
Fourth Century of Their Service at
the Vatican-Prepare for
Great Fete.

Already preparations are being
made for the great anniversary
fete Of the Swiss guard, which
was to have been in October, but
has now been fixed for next Janu.
airy, relates the Pail Mall Gazette.
This fete will celebrate the fourth
century of their existence at the
vatican, where they were first
called, 200 of them, by Pope julius
ii. In those days they were
grandly called "Pretoriani excubi-
torres Pontifcis corpOris ct palatii
custodiae." Julius II.'s predeces-
sor, Nicholas ", was the real pro.
moter of this body, but he could
never carry out his idea through
the opposition of the ambassador
of the powerful Louis XII.
Their first captain was Caspare
de Silenen, of Lucerne, who
brought the first 200 personally to
Rome, and stayed with them until
his death here. The first company,
however, had a rough time of it, az
they had not been at the vatican
long when the Constable de Bour.
bon sacked the Eternal City, and
killed every one of the Swiss
guards who had barricaded
themselves in st. Peters. After
that the popes went 81 years with.
out daring to propose a new
guard, but eventually another was
formed, and here they have been
ever since, with only two interrup.
tons, in 1898 and in 1909, through
the French occupation.
Christine of Sweden would not
have real Swiss guards when he
came to Rome, but took Italians
of Perugia and put them in the
Swiss guard uniform, the pope
Struggling his shoulders, saying:
"After all, the habit does not
make the monk" Ever since then
there have usually been some Ital-
lans among the Swiss guards, but
just at present they are all genu.
inc Swiss.

COOKING Of FISH IN CLAY
North Woods Natives Have Many
Novel Ways of Preparing Finny
Creatures for the Table.

"The natives of the North woods
have more appetizing ways to
cook'fish than any other class of
cooks in the world, believe" said
Leonard Kehoe, of Tomah, accord.
ingtO the, Milwaukee Sentinel. ut
surprises people who come isto
the fishing country to learn that
there are so many ways of cooking
fish. The universal favorite, how.
ever, seems to be the clay method.
This lis so simple. that it
is nearly always used when
the cook can secure some good,
firm clay. The fish is wrapped in
the clay without having so much
as a scale rufied by the cleaning
knife. He.is not dressed, and the
only: seasoning i: a pinch of salt
placed in the mouth. When the
fish is done up in the clay the pack.
age is placed in the embers of the
camp fire to bake. When it is done
the clay'is cracked open, and the
scales of the fish are found to be
sticking to the clay, and the head
is then broken off. The delicate
favor of fish cooked in this way
cannot be described. Some of the
cooks have a habit of cutting a
long cash along each side of the
dorsal fin and inserting a. slice OF
Sat bacon. This adds greatly to
the favor of the fish.
"Another thing which makes
the fish so fine in the woods is that
they ere generally cooked in a
short time after coming out of the
water. The cold streams keep the
flesh firm and hard, making them
far superior to the fish one gets in
the cities"

SOME FACTS ABOUT wAsps,
Like Flowers and Are Taught to Fly
by Flies-Their Likes and
DisIikes.

The wasp is a more frequent viz
Itor to flowers than is generally
supposed. Darwin noted four
species as visited by il for nectar,
viz, helleborine, figwort, snow
berry and tritOma, says the Lon7
don Globe. Delphino gives the
former three alone as wasp fowl
ers in Italy. There are, however,
several other flowers TO which id
not infrequently resorts. During
July and August it may often bel
seen on the white lowers Of the
COW parsnip, working as carefully
and Systematically as a bee. The
hive bee may also frequently bel
seen on the same flower. In late|
autumn the wasp does not despisel
the honey Of the ivy flower. Other
flowers on which it may be seem
are fuchsia, evening primrose,
gooseberry, and fennel. Lord
Avebury remarks that the fgword
is one of the few flowers specially
visited by wasps, ''the honey be-
ing not pleasing to bees" Yet
bees do at times visit it, and in
America it has a great reputation
as a honey plant. The helleborine.

1t is contended by many entoi
biologists that insects generally
are short-sighted. And an obserI

wall of a building. They not only
made frequent dashes at the flies

spots of black paint, nail,

4 CASE OF DIsCRNIINATIoN.
Not For FIFTY ThOnsand Dollars But
For Five Thousand Against
Baltimore & Ohio.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. S-In the
United States Court here yesterday a
verdict was found against the B. &
o. Railroad Company which was
charged by the Riverdale Mining Co
with discrimination in regard to
cars and the railroad company was
ordered to pay a fine of $500. The
mining company had brought suit for
$50, 900 damages and the verdict is
regarded as victory for the railroad
company. Prominent among the wit
nesses here for the trial which has
been in progress all week were Cen
'eraI Manager Lee L. Malone. Auditor
r.. T. Cunningham. of the Fairmont
Coal Company. and Assistant B. & o,
Trainmaster T. w. Reynolds, OF
Fairmont, W. Va.
The Riverdale mines, which are To-
Gated on the NJ. r. division of the
B. & o. near Shinnston were opened
up and formally owned by Messrs,
Adams and Evans, of this city.
Later they were purchased by the
rairmont Coal Company. 1t is said
that while the mines were operated
by the RiverdaIe company they were
not a success financially and the COM
pany charges the B. & o. with be-
ing responsible for this condition on
account of the non supply of cars.
The case went to the jury on
Thursday but no verdict was reached
until late last evening. 1t is said
that the B. & o. will appeal. The
court was confronted with 400
pounds of documentary evidence.
Three huge boxes and trunk were
