RETAINED RELICS OF GALILE0
FanaticaI Admlrer Of the Great italian
Insisted on Keeping Portions
Of His Body.

The report that Robert Bruce's
heart has been discovered at Mel
rose, In Scotland, reminds an italian
paper Of the fate of GalileO's remains,
according to the Manchester (Eng)
Guardian.
When the body of Calico was ex-
humed from Its original resting place
on March l., 1897, and removed to
the magnificent mausOleum In the
Church of Santa CrOce, Florence,
Marquis Vincenzo CappOnl, who was
a fanatlcal admirer of GallleO, took
possession of the right-hand thumb
and fOrefinger.
Some of those present at the ex-
humatiOn protested strongly, but the
marquis had his way, declaring his
intention TO Cherish these fingers as
sacred relics" which prompted the re
tort: Instead OF Gallleo's fingers 1t
would be better for you to have his
brains"
This bad example proved cOnta-
g.0uS, for the left thumb and one Of
the ribs were annexed by two other
members of the company. and these
relics are now In the museum OF the
university. Marquis CappOni had an
urn made for his portion of the body.
which all newcomers were called upon
to admire as the greatest treasure In
the house.
At the beginning of the last century
the Capponi family fell upon evil
days and emIgrated to France. leaving
the Calico relics to become the prop
erty of an old butler who had long
been In their service. Other Oddments
given him by his master proved sal
able but he could find no market for
GalileO's finger and thumb, and these
eventually passed to one of the but
ler's descendants, SignOra Laura
Joni. In 1905, when she was old and
poor, some one advised SignOra joni
to offer to sell the relics to the Ital-
ian government. Inquiries were in.
stltuted which proved the authentic
ity of the relics beyond a doubt, and
they are now preserved with other
mer1entOes of Calico, the vendor
having received a handsome price fol-
them.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be

If the kidneys are not in a healthy

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
