NEW-CENTURY CLUB.

The first halfhour OF the Current
Events Class was devoted to household
topics, and especially 10 bread. 1t il
a question whether, by the light of
modern science, which declares il to
be poisonous, ID ought 10 be made at
all, but il so, how. Mrs Rorer's last
Feoipe for it given at the Food EN-
position in Philadelphia. 10 this: Pour
one pint OF boiling water into ono pint
of milk. When lu;ewarm add tea
spoonful Of salt and one yeast cake dis
solved. Then stir in sufficient flour to
make dough, turn out on a board and
kuead. Put back in a bowl, cover, and
stand In a warm place for three hours.
At the end of that time turn il out on
board, mould it into leaves and put
into bread pans. Cover and stand
aside one hour, and bake as whole
wheat bread.
1t was assorted that Mrs. Rorer must
have experienced a change Of view
since, when she lectured in Whining.
ton few years ago she said wholesome
bread could not be made without the
usual three risings," although at the
same time she unwittinGly awarded a
premium to bread made as above.
Those who use bread made only Of fine
white flour eat starch and little else.
The elements needed for the nourish.
ment OF the teeth, hair, and nails arc
not contained in it. 1t il much better
that children, at least, should have
whole wheat bread. One housekeeper
grinds the whole wheat in coffee mill
and makes bread of it.
An interesting article on the leaves
Of trees, written by member of the
Natural History Society was read by
Mrs. j. 2. Pyle. Miss Lore described
some recent works OF art. There il at
present an interesting exhibition OF
pictures at Wanamaker's in Phiadel-
phia; 766 of the original paintings for
new illustrated Bible. This Old
Testament pictures are charming.
Among them: "And the Angel of the
Lord stood in narrow place." and
1.-THE Burial Of Moses" with its hosts
of angels. One is almost grotesque.
1t is 1.-THE Descent of the Clovsn
Tongues like as fire, ON the
Apostles" which looks like elongated
flames from miners head lamp. But
as a whole the exhibition is worth
seeing.
The most ardent admirers of the
bicycle have never claimed that it ia a
thing of beauty, but an English artist
has put q wheel on canvas, drop-
frame machine with feminine rider /;
itpnssed before the eyes of conservative
Judges and has neither okyed, nor
fioored, but hung ON the line. Those
opponents OF the wheel who assert that
it is impossible for a woman to look
we'll on a bicycle are referred to the
committee on admission to the Roy al
Academy.
Since the death of Dore there has
been no one to occupy his peculiar aud
distinctive position in the world of art
German critics now assert that sue
cessor to the wierdly imaginative
French painter has been found in
SachHa Schneider, young German
artist unknown until about year ago
when he exhibited remarkable series
OF drawings on biblical subjects. His
work attracted attention at once and
his success in Europe makes it only 4
matter of time when his drawings will
be familiar here.
Mrs. William NJ. Field described the
totem poles of Alaska, of which she
showed models and photographs.
These poles are fast disappearing into
museums and private collections, and
as Alaskan beliefs and customs are
changing by contact with civilization,
no new ones are being made. A nun.
Der of guests from distant cities were
present at the class.
