The injection Of young blood
into the municipal government is
the principal feature of the Sec

Youths were assigned to various

heads Of departments, and Junior

However, principal points Of in

bells record the fire alarms which
are sent in throughout the city,
and the scientific laboratories in

In the taste Of the world the
French cuisine now ranks first.
French cooking, however, was an
undeveloped art until 1880, when
the delicacies Of the Italian table
were introduced to Paris. From
that time on the French made
quick Improvement in cooking and
soon surpassed their Italian mas
tiers. ,s., ..,..
Cookery began to be recognized
as an important art during the
reign Of Louis XIV, who always
accompanied his great fetes with
sumptuous banquets. During the
time Of Louis XIV the Gordon Bleu,

Saint Esprit, instituted by Henry
III, became the definition Of a
skilled female cook. The first
cook on whom Louis XIV bestowed
the honor was the cook Of Madame

Majesty's appreciation Of the ex-
Cellent meals prepared for him.
