Chinese Poet is Artist in Cookery

/ ChlneSe Poet is ARTIST IN NooketS
Yuan Mel may well be described
as the Brillat- Savarin of China, says
a writer in the London Mail. Like
the famous French epicure. he was
magistrate, a poet and an author.
At the early age of 40, he retired
from the official life and lived the
life Of lettered ease in his beautifui
garden at Marking. His cookery
advice was given in scholarly fash
ion with dignity and authority.
The Chinese, as artists in cookery,
stand next to the French. Ii you go
into q Chinese restaurant in London,
you will find n menu of astounding
length and interest. l remember
seeing a list of over 270 dishes with
a brief description of most OF them.
Cookery" wrote Yuan Mel. is

have known people to mix grated
lobster with birds nest and mint
with chicken or pork
"The cooks of today think nothing
of mixing in one soup the meat OF
chicken, duck. pig and goose. But
these chickens. DUCKS, pigs anu
geese have, doubtless, souls. And
these souls will most certainly file
plants in the-neXt world on the way
they have been treated in this"
AS the four heroes of the table.
Yuan Mel gives the chicken, the pig,
the fish and the duck.
He was a delicate feeder and dis
liked display of overlavishness. He
tells how he dined with friend
who gave his guests bird's-nest
soup in bowls more like watts. The
other guests applauded vigorously
But Yuan smiled and said Il came
here to eat birds-nest, not TO take
delivery of it Wholesale"
Don't eat with your eyes" is one
Of his maxims. BY which he means
that the host should not cover the
table with unnecessary dishes and
too many courses. Don't eat with

THE little picture at the right
possesses historical value out OF
all proportion to its meagre artistic
merit. II is the only contemporary
sketch coming down to the present dav
from the Middle Ages, representing the
ceremony OF homage, or the pledging
of fealty by freeman to his lord. By
this pledge. the freeman held land; it
was the last step down from the king,
through the lords and knights to the
common freeholder,f which was the
general structure of the feudal system
Of land tenure.
From this system are derived the
real property laws existing throughout
the western world today. As feudaism
gradually disappeared the quaint
phrases OF titles and deeds were mod
ified only slowly Thus the legal
papers OF as modern a transaction as
the transfer of lot in a Florida or a
Long Island subdivision retain traces
of the old forms.
The sketch OF the ceremony is in
