What Came of a Scullion :
i? 4
[Original. ] ^
There was trouble on the mind of the
Chief cook of Signor Fallen), a wealthy
Venetian gentleman living In France.
Signor Fallero had invited a number of
distinguished people to dinner. There
were to be princes, nobles and mer
chants of Venice and, more Important
thau all, a number of art critics. I say
"more important thau all" because
that was an age when the fine arts
flourished aud a man who could judge
of a painting or a statue was looked up
to more than one possessing birth or
wealth. At any rate, these men were
it more Intrinsic worth thau all the
rest at this dinner of the Venetian.
But what was amiss in the kitchen?
A confectioner who had been charged
with making a large candy ornament
to decorate the table had sent word
that it had been "polled and there was
no time to make another. The chief
ewk storraeil and tore his hair. Per
fection was his aim. and what would
all the delicacies he had prepared avail
without the georgeous centerpiece?
A boy who served as scullion ad
vanced and said in a timid voice:
"If you will let me, 1 think I can
make you something that will ilo In
place of the confectionery piece."
"You itouio'.1 What do you know
about fashionable things?"
"I have worked in the yard of my
grandfather. I'isano. the stonecutter."
"Nonsense! A stonecutter knows
nothing about artistic work."
The boy beggi-d hard, and as there
was nothing els** to be done he was
given permission to try his band. He
sent for some butter and fashioned it
into a crouching lion. It was p la col
upon the table, and soon after the
p.inces, the merchants and the art
critics were ushered into the dining
room The chief cook wore a melan
choly look, keeping his eye fixed on
what he considered a bleiulsh to an
otherwise splendid table. Tile guests
ntuged themselves around the table
and took seats.
The i-ook saw one of the art critics
look i uk fixedly at the butter lion, and
the i?x>r man luwardly cursed the mo
ment that he hail consented to use the
sculliou's work Then he noticed that
the art critic said something to the
man sitting next to him. and they both
looked at the lion. The chief cook's
knees tre;r.hled beneath him. Surely
his master would discharge him for
putting this tierce looking create -
that was made of such soft material
before the^e great men. He had hoped
they would not especially notice It.
and already two of them were looking
at It and talking about It. But when
several other groups laid down their
spoons, neglecting the soup that had
cost the chef so much pains and began
to stare :tt the centerpiece he was In
despair
"Slgnor Kaliero." said the man who
had first noti'vd the lion, "we are not
surprised at your munificence in grac
ing your table with a work of genius,
but we are at a loss to know how you
obtained the services of one who should
cousetit to place the expression of his
genius in so perishable a substance as
butter."
The host looked at the lion, then In
quiringly at the chief cook. The latter
hail become so confused over the out
come of his substitution of a few
pounds of butter for a splendid candy
centerpiece that he did not hear or did
not understand what the guest had
said. He broke down and confessed
his culpable folly.
"Signer." he said tremulously, "par
don my Iniquity. Just before the din
ner was ready the confectioner sent
word that he hail spoiled the splendid
candy centerpiece I had ordered and
which would have l>eeu in every way
worthy of your noble guests. When 1
was In great distress at this mishap
Antonio, the scullion, nine to me and
offered to make something to till its
place. In an evil hour I listened to
("Mm. If you and your noble guests will
orgive me I will remove the blemish."
For a moment there was a hush of
astonishment about the table; thou the
guest that had spoken, an eminent art
critic, said to the chief cook:
"I>o you mean to tell me that the
lion was fashioned by a scullion and
shortly befo,V dinner*'"
"Yes. slgnor. He begged so hard"?
"Slgnors." said the critic, "one of the
world's greatest geniuses has Iveen
born !"
"The !>oy. the boy! Let us see the
boy!" cried the guests.
"Send him in," said the host to the
cook.
The mystified servant retired and iu
a few minutes returned, bringing wi;b
hi in the scullion.
"Signors." said the host, "this Is?
Boy. what's your name?"
"Antonio Canova," said the aston
" lsbed boy.
Then the critic, rising, held forth his
wineglass and said:
"Antonio Canova, I drink to au art*
lit. Gentlemen, drink with me to An
tonio Canova. May his genius grow
constantly brighter."
The guests rose anil drank the toast,
while the astouisbed boy stared at
tbem as If he had suddenly come under
the Influence of enchantment. Then his
bos' told him that hi* scullion work
was ended. He had resolved to be re
apontible for the boy's education.
( The promise was kept. The worts
afterward achieved by the great ?culjv
tcr are curious not only for their In
trinsic value, but that they came from
?uoh a small beginning. It Is a re
markable fact that the beautiful mar
ble "Cupid and Psyche." the delight of
all civilized mankind, should have been
produced by one who was once a scul
