of wood project from every beam and 
support, corresponding to the gargoyles

The old bronze bell which hangs on the 
balcony was cast four hundred and fifty 
years ago, and was used to summon the 
devout to prayer. 
In the interior on the second floor are 
the shrines and religious treasures. 
1 he shrine of the Goddess of Mercy 
stands in the center, guarded on each 
side by two sacred dogs which were 
carved six hundred years ago. Hung 
about are the curious cymbals, gongs, 
bells and drums which are used in the 
religious ceremonies. On the wall 
hangs a picture of the Buddhist para¬ 
dise, painted on silk. Eternal Buddha 
is seen in one corner. The mural paint¬ 
ings are by the best artists of the time, 
and the design is different in each panel.

A SCULPTOR’S INDIGNATION 
COMEi young ruffians broke the nose 
^ of the beautiful statue of Paul 
Veronese which adorns one of the prin¬ 
cipal squares of Verona. After a long 
consultation, the city fathers decided to 
call upon the sculptor, Romeo Cristani, 
to repair the damage. But the signor 
declined to obey their instructions, on 
the ground that it would he beneath the 
dignity of a great sculptor to attempt 
to patch up the statue in such a man¬ 
ner. 
It would be necessary, he contended, 
to chisel a new head for the work of art 
at the cost of 1,000 lire. The Council 
did not feel inclined to pay this sum 
of money, and made a contract with 
another sculptor to repair the nose alone. 
Signor Cristani, enraged at the action of 
the aldermen, hastened to declare that 
he would not allow another man to touch 
the work which has made him famous. 
Up to the present time no one has cared 
to run the risk of getting his own nose 
placed in the condition of that of the 
statue. It is possible that he will carry 
the day. Many inhabitants of the old 
city uphold him, and declare that they 
will assist him in preventing the dese¬ 
cration of the statue. At any rate, the 
nose of Paul Veronese promises to play 
an important part in the local history of 
Verona for some time to come. — New
