A Curious Ceremony Observed in the
Courts of Venice.
In the courts of Venice curious
custom has been observed for five
hundred years When the Council OF
Ten. "a body of men acting as jury,
brings in IA sentence Of death, before
the presiding judge puts on the black
cap the venerable crier advances and
cries thrce times in a loud voice: Re
cordatevi del povera Marcnlini" Near
the grand landing place of the gon-
doas are the columns of Saint Mark
and Saint Theodore Nearly all the
people passing the grand landing place
pass around the columns. Only for
eigners and strangers pass between the
two slender pillars. 1t is the ancient
place of execution, and there Mar
colini met his death. Many years ago
Marcolini, a young Venetian noble,

whose family occupied "a palace ON the

ents of his tia1cee had given consent to
their nuptials. Passing across small
campo he picked up an embroidered
belt, with an empty ieweled seabbard.
and fastening the girdle around him,
he continued his course. still humming
