"A Century of Painting" by viii H. Low.

is picturesquely concluded in the January La

unusually interesting, and there are short
stories by Miss Wilkins and Jerome X.
Jerome.
The complete novel in Lippincott for the
month is Mrs. Crichtons Creditor" by
Mrs. Alexander. Among the short stories is
one of Italy, "The Woman of Asbestos" by
Elizabeth CevaZZa, and 1.-The Way of Will"
by William T. Nichols, who has an especial
gift for inyenting unique situations for short
stories.

approaches conclusion which promises to
leave every one happy Zangwill discusses

stories, all of which are interesting The
frontispieoe is a charming drawing of the

'The Development Of Sculpture in Amer
lea" is Interestingly discussed by William
Ordway Partridge In the Forum. His as
sumption that the artist furnishes such art
as the people demand, and that 1t is the
function Of the latter to demand great art and
hold the sculptor up to his possibilities is a
reversal Of the current way Of looking at the
relation between the creative artist and his
public, but the demands Mr.. Partridge would
make of both are strenuous and noble, and
his prophecy as to the future Of sculpture in
America Is tinged with the highest patriot
ism.

THE INIMITABLE SAUSAGE.
1t Has Been Loved From the Days
of Aristophnnes to These.

1t Has Been Loved From the Days
of Aristophanes to These.
One of the earliest methods OF prepar-
ing meat was the form of sausages.
The sausage vender is a common person
age in the comedies of Aristophanes.
The men of old seem to have known no
other method of treating tough pieces
of meat than to mince them. The
secret of hanging beef and meats in a
cold atmosphere until the fibers soften
is comparatively modern one.
The Roman preparations of minced
meat, seasoning and bread-crumbs
were more like a modern forcemeat
than sausage. The best sausage
makers of those days, as well as of
these, however, used no bread-crumb BIS,
but lean of beef, veal or pork, mixed
with clear fat Of pork, and seasoned
with spices and herbs. Excellent sau-
SageS of clear meat were made in Ro-
man times at Mordena, and probably
at Bonoma, now Bolonga, a village
near by, whence our best Mortadella
takes it's name.
The true bologna sausage is always
boiled before it is sold in market There
fore, these Sausages are properly served
without further cooking. They should
be merely sliced in the thinnest posi-
BILE slices and served with a slight gar
nish Of parsley. Lyons sausages are
served the same way. The best bo-
logna sausage is made of the lean
beef and fat Of pork. These two vari-
cites are the only ones Of foreign make
that can be purchased without sus-
picion. There is not the slightest doubt
that the flesh of variety Of animals
not known to American butchers stalls
enters into the composition OF the
cheaper European sausages. Mortad-
ella and Lyons sausages, when pur-
chased from perfectly well-known and
trustworthy dealer, are above such
suspicious. They are better, therefore,
purchased than reproduced by any i'm
itation in home cooking.
