Invention of Ma arOni.

Macaroni is eaten with relish equally
by all civilized European peoples. But
the incident which originally gave it its
name is known to few of those-even in
Sicily, its birthplace-who hold it in the
highest esteem. Once upon time a
wealthy Palermitan noble owned q cook
with an inventive genius. One day, in a
rapture OF culinary composition, this
great artist devised the farinaceous
tubes which all love so well, and the
succulent acces ,ories of rich sauce and
grated parmeSan, familiar to those who

in Southern Italy. Having filled a
mighty china bowl with this delicious
compound, he set it before his lord-a
gourmet Of the first water-and stood by,
in deferential attitude, to watch the
effect OF his experiment. The first
mouthful elected the ejaculation,
Carl automatically equivalent to sex
cellent in English, from the iliustrious
epicure. After swallowing u second
modicum he exclaimed: Ma cari,' or
Excellent, indeed." Presently, as the
flavor OF the toothsome mess grew upon
him, his enthusiasm rose, and he cried
ont, in voice tremul louS with emotion,
"Macaroni ~" Indeed, most supremely,
ssublimely and superlatively excellent "
