JTIFYING VENICE.
Gifts of Spirited Citizens for AdOrn.
ment of Queen of the Adriatic.

Correspondence of the London Globe.
\ little over two years ago there died in
Venice a well-knoWn money changer, Signor
Fiorentini, whose office was at the corner
OF the Bocca di Piazza, just outside St
Marks square. He was alone in the world
and had accumulated vast fortune, and
this fortune he left to the city of Venice
for various benevolent purposes. A very
large sum set aside for the benefit of
the Institution of the "Esposti''-the Foun-
ding Hospital-on the Riva degli Schiavoni
and at the same time for the removal of Il
great blot on the beauty of Venice. All
frequenters of Venice must remember the
church, with its SCARED and ragged front
which occupies such a central position on
the Riva, just little beyond the Hotel
Daniel, with its heavy stone basement, its
half built brick columns and portal, plas-
tered to look like marble, and its raw, bare
brick wall rising above up to the common
tiled roof, all of which forms whole that
would disgrace a country village, and far
more the magnificent stretch of the Riva.
This. thanks to the generosity of Signor
FiOrentini, is to be altered by the erection
of a facade to the church worthy of its
central position.
This generosity seems to be catching, for
six months ago a clever young architect of
Venice offered to the municipality as a free
gift a design at which he had worked with
zeal and love, and. it seems, with great
success. The facade is in the Lombard
esGue style, of which there is such a SPLEEN
did example in the Church of San Zacaria
hard by. and with which it compares not
too unfavOrably. The architect is Signor
Pic Agazzf. son of the director of the gov
eminent mosaic works of ST. Marks
Church, who has charge of the repairs of
the mOsaiCS now being so intelligently car
Tied on. The son seems to have inherited
the artistic taste Of his father and the
practical sense of his English mother, for
his design satisfies thoroughly the demands
of both beauty and use. His task was not
an easy one. because he had to suit his de

tian in its character and as filing up har-

according to the plan of the original archi-

was the perpetratOr of some of the worst
examples of the degraded architecture of
the eighteenth century 1t is to be hoped
that this suggestion will find no one in
clined to take it up seriously, but that be-
fore long Venice, which has felt too often
the hard of the destroyer, may see some of
its old beauty being restored to it.

The AngOra Cat,


The possession Of an Angora cat has be-
some a fad, particularly in fashionable cir
Giles, and you will not wonder when Won
have made the acquaintance of one Of these
beautiful. affectionate creatures. The hair
Is long, soft and silky. and their immense
tails are used very gracefully, and express
emotions as plainly as words. When dis
pleased the tail is swayed from side to
side in manner the meaning of which
cannot be mistaken. The eyes are large.
playful and full of expression. The ami
mails are beautifully formed and are CON
siderably longer than the ordinary cat
They are wonderful jumpers very inouisi-
tive and want to understand everything
that is going on. They are affectionate
and loving, very graceful, and have most
charming manners and dispositions. unus,-
al intelligence, and, as naturally follows
great dignity and vanity. The ordinary
price for a good Angora cat is from twenty,
five to one hundred and fifty dollars.

Stills for Short Men.


There would seem to be both field and
fortune open to any one who will invent
some light and compact contrivance to en-
able people who are small, or who dislike
being wedged in a crowd, to get a good
view Of the various professions and pae-
eants which are to take place in London
this year. On Thursday the devices were
of the most elementary nature. Some neo-
pie had mirrors tied on to the end Of
sticks, but at the crucial moment thew

resemble purchases at shop and stood on

But this is a cumbrous way of doinp
things. What is wanted is something that
can be carried without Inconvenience, that
does not take up too much room and that
is not too violent trespass on other peo-
pies rights These requirements would be
satisfied if an improved kind of stills tn
