A VERY PARTISAN PERFORM
ANCE
The Solemn Dedication Of a Street to
a Chef

One of the. streets that run through
the central markets in Paris was
called a short time ago after Antoine
Careme, the chef Of Prince de Talley-
rand, of George ". when he was re-
gent Of Great Britain, of the emperor
of Austria and the king of Wurtemberg.
The official baptism took place the
other day. The Paris correspondent
of the London Daily News writes:
The syndicate of alimentary products
stood sponsors by giving an afternoon
banquet in the pavilion appropriated
at the HalIes to game and poultry. A
number Of old trades corporation flags
were unfurled for the occasion and
grouped round shields. The bust rose
from amid a clump of Towering shrubs
in the center. NJ. Goblet, as the deputy
of the Halles district, was asked to
preside at the banquet The vice-chair-
man was NJ. Badrain, a cook and poet.
A medal had been struck for the oc-
casion in honor Of Careme and in three
metals. The gold medals Were for the
chairman and vice-chairman and the
head of the alimentary syndicate, the
silver for other distinguished guests,
and the bronze for others. NJ. Goblet
spoke Of Careme as not being an illus
trious cook merely, but one of the most
erudite men of his time. If the hard
line in which his youth was laid had
not forced him to pass his life among
saucepans he would have probably
been a great historian OF glory to
the academy of inscriptions, or per-
haps both. Caremes menus Tor the
grand dinners that he cooked We're
little masterpieces of delicate taste and
cleverness. He had a high opinion of
his art. and said that the French chef
was of greater use to France abroad
than the French ambassador. He
brought with his copper saucepans
French civilization and French ideas.
French cookery, according to Careme's
ideal. refined away the brute that lies
at the bottom of human nature. He
strove to hide away the fact that the
cook depended on the butcher. Sensi-
tive persons were never shocked by
the sight Of ''underdOne" meat &c any
of Careme's dinners. He was also

THE SITE OF VENICE.
A Mammoth Task to Secure Foundation
for the City.

TOR the CITY.
The city of Venice is approached
from behind by railroad constructed
over a stretch of swamp which is not
very unlike the near approach to sew
eral of our New Jersey coast towns.
There is trife IN ore water and not so
much grass, but the ride into the city
is anything but a subject for chapter
of fine romance. Out beyond this
swamp was another swamp which was
little higher. 1t had been out of the
water longer, and had caught enough
of seawecd. sand, shells and sediment
to be fit for birds to nest on. There
was one island called the Rialto which
was really quite secure, and around
this one there was said to be about
seventy-fve or eighty other islands
which to-day are occupied by the city
of Venice. Some of these were origi-
nally not islands at all. They were
mere high places in Il great bog, which,
by the cuttin ng of channels and by arti-
fetal means, were converted into more
or less fit places for the erection OF
buildings
| Without consulting history one could
almost guess that such an unfavorable
spot as this was not selected as the site
for city out of free choice; and, in
deed. 1t was not. Venice was started
during the fifth and sixth centuries.
The inhabitants of Padua and few
more north Roman cities, chased out
by the Huns, the Goths and Other
tribes of barbarians. took refuge here
in an Adriatic lagoon. The savagcs OF
Asia had no boats, SO that the settle.
ment was very safe, and. leading an
independent life, prospered here by
itself during the Middle Ages at u sur.
prising rate.
1t was monstrous work to make
the city secure from the sea. Ship
loads of stone were brought from other
coasts. Dams and canals were built
at great cost, and the residents final
ly got enough of dry land about them
to feel moderately safe. 1t was still,
however, difficult thing to find
foundations for the houses, especially
as many of the rich men desired to put
up heavy marble palaces, and it fre.
