yors packing. burning and mechanical
deterioration of the soil. and the es-
cape Of heterogeneous plan'-food by

crop has the effects Of mulch: keeps

vided. however. that these are not per-
mitted TO mature or scatter seeds. So

LEGEND or MARcoLiNl.
a Curious Venetian Custom That Keeps
ALIVE Poor Lovers Fate.

a Curious Venetian Custom That Keeps
ALIVE = Poor Lovers Fate.
In the courts OF Venice a curious
custom has been observed for five
hundred years. When the Council OF
Ten. a body Of men acting as jury.
brings in sentence Of death, before
the presiding Judge puts on the black
cap the venerable crier advances and
cries three times in a loud voice,
:" Rccordatevi del povera Marcolini. "
Near the grand landing place Of the
gondolas are the columns OF Saint
Mark and Saint Theodore. Nearly
all the people passing the grand land
ing place pass around the columns.
Only foreigners and strangers pass be-
tween the two slender pillars. II Is
the ancient place of execution. and
there Marcolini met his death.
Many years ago Marcolini. 4 young
Venetian noble. paid court 70 the
beautiful Giulietta, whose family oc-
cupied palace on the same square.
One night N the dial on the clock
tower marked the early morning hour
he was returning home from visit TO
his inamorata. softly singing in the
exubcrance Of his spirits, for he had
been accepted. and the parents Of his
fiancce had given consent TO their
nuptlals. Passing across small
campo he picked up an embroidered
belt, with an empty jewclcd scabbard,
and fastening the girdle around him.
he continued his course. still humming
his tune. When he came TO the steps
OF the Rialto he was seized by the
guard and accused Of murder. lie
was taken to the spot where Senator
Rinaldi lay dead with dagger in his
heart 1t was found that the stilctto
exactly fitted the sheath which Mar
colini carried. lie was speedily tried
condemned and behcaded. Giuliett;
went mad and was confined on the LITTLE
island devoted TO the insane.
Many years after bandit on hi
death-bed confessed to priest that Ia
had been hired TO murder the senator
The sentence against Marcolini wa
reversed and his coniiscated estate
were restored to his family. But poo
csiulietta's reason could not be re
stored BY an edict OF law. When tn
Judge who condemned Marcolini cam
to die he provided in his will that
mass should be sung every night for
ever in chapel Of the ducal church
St Marks :. for the soul OF Marcolin
and Others who had suffered from IN
Just judgments. Such Is the story Q
7 the Twilight Mass and the words Q
. the court cricr: Remember poo
Marcolini." Every night the bell
! rung and ray Of flight is seen to issu
/ from the little Gothic window th'
looks upon the ancient place Of cxcc'
