The papal gensdarmes owe their origin
to the time when Plus VII was in exile
after having been kidnapped and taken to
France by general obeying the instruc-
tions of the great Bonaparte Forced to
submit to the will of Napoleon. he had as
guards the French Grenadiers. whom, how
ever, he admired greatly, When Plus VII
returned to Rome he constituted a body
guard for himself. which he called the
"Papal Carabineers. wearing the same
uniform as Napoleon's soldiers, and be-
ing composed of men who had served I'M
der the emperor. Napoleon himself took
a great interest in this body, but he did
not like the name given to it and he in
duced the ponuff to change it into that
of gensdarmes.
Nowadays, the gensdarmes are recruit
ed almost entirely from among retired
carabineers of the Italian army, and their
commander. Count Ceccopieri, was for
merly police official Of the Italian gov
eminent. They number rather less than
one hundred and they do almost the en-
tire police work inside the sacred palaces

eral occasions have not despised the

fire about 9 o'clock Tuesday evening

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

When It seems impossible to get a
Jar lid loose, try the following simple
method: Turn the jar upside down
on the stove. AS soon as the lid is
thoroughly warmed through, it can be
removed without any difficulty, and
both lid and rubber can be used again.
n using a gas stove, first place an
asbestos lid over the blaze, and of
course, only allow the jar to warm,
not crack.
II your lamp wicks do not burn
evenly, try rounding the corners. Then
push in toward middle of wick from
each side. II done properly the light
will be quite even.
A floor pad of newspaper piled two
inches high or so will be the delight
OF the busy ironer. One side should
be covered with floor linen, the other
with carpet-the linen for summer and
the carpet for winter. 1t is an unbe-
levable relief for tired feet.
II only half melon is used, keep
the other half fresh and in good con-
dition by covering 1t with paraffin
paper laid on so as to exclude the air
from the cut surface. Grape fruit and
other fruits and vegetables may be
kept for short time in the same way
The most obstinate coffee stains
can be removed by solution of luke
warm wafer and the yolk of an egg.
II a coat of thin white paint is put
on the ordinary wire screen, those in
side may look out, but outsiders can
not see into the room.
The rust which collects in the hot
water boiler is the chief destroyer OF
water-backs. The life of the hot
water system will be prolonged II you
will open the faucet at the bottom of
the boiler occasionally and draw off a
few gallons of water.
When the table cloth shows signs of
wear, cut it up into cloths the size OF
napkins. They will often save you
good napkins and will come in very
handily for the picnic basket or to
wrap about dainty bit of food which
is sent to the neighbors.
An old fashioned cleaning medium
for silk is gotten by peeling and wash
ing and grating potato, then steep
ing in water overnight, Use only the

In old houses the boards are some
times far apart and the floors are
very cold. good cement can be
made of old newspapers soaked in wa
