Salt-Rising Bread.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune.
Some dyspeptics think salt-rising bread
much more digestibe than bread made up
with other kinds of yeast. 1t is the favorite
bread all through the Valley Of Virginia and
Maryland. The following recipe is given by
a Virginia housekeeper:
Pour half pint of boiling water on two
tablespoonfulS of cornmeal and add a pinch
of salt. Let this stand ten minutes, then
stir in two tablespoonfuls of -four and set
1t in a warm place to rise overnight. In
the morning add half a pint OF fresh sweet
milk or warm water and -four enough to
make the yeast smooth. Then put IL I'm a
kettle of water hot enough to bear the
hand in.
which has been made of two quarts of the
mornings milk, scalded. Be careful not to
scald the flour by mixing when the milk is
too warm. Beat this well and set it to rise
again In warm place. which 1t Will do in
twenty-five thirty minutes IL managed
right. Be careful that the place is not too
hot
Now put in flour enough to make stiff
batter that cannot be stirred with a spoon,
then pour ii out on molding board which
has been we'll covered with sifted flour. and
add piece of lard the size OF large apple
and mix it we'll with the dough. Work it
Wen. and after dividing ii up in small loaves
put them in well-greased pans and set them
in warm place to rise again. When risen
sufficiently bake as quickly as possible.
When done brush over with a little melted
butter to prevent the crust from hardening.

A Practical Art School.

chicago Post
In this whirling Chicago where women
are. to the full, as busy as the other half
of the population, one should not be sur
prised at anything they do. Up on the top
floor of the Athenaeum is the most original
of art schools, where practical newspaper
man is educating practical newspaper art

was a gas stove with a rather dreadful
saucepan of melted lead upon it and three
students gathered around it like witches

The most original part of this school is that
the students don't listen TO lectures about
the processes of illustration. They carry
them out. Even their drawings are not exc
cuted in scholastic SecluSiOn. They are told
some piece of news and sent off to make a
picture of it, One of the girls. for instance
was sent to illustrate murder case that
was mentioned in the morning paper, and
she somehow contrived to get details that

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF TELLING
A PRETTY WOMAN SHE Is PRETTY.
Dainty Salads and Sandwiches to
Tempt Jaded Appetite-What
Young People Are Doing in Art.

The idea that compliment to a woman
on her beauty is vulgar is very silly idea.
says Mr.. G. s. Street, in the Pail Mall Mag
azine The compliment may be vulgarly
phrased, as may be anything else, or course
Our ancestors, with their anything from
so fair a hand" sort of conversation, over
did ii, no doubt; they overdid everything,
the dear warm-blooded people. But this is
no reason why we all, who would not be
thought underbred and offensive, should
have 10 pretend not to notice whether a
woman is beautiful or not. On the one
hand the ignoring argues a lack of sense
for the kind things of life, and on the other
it implies an overestimate of them; for de-
liberately TO ignore any human quality Is
mysteriously to increase its Importance.
Now, to be conscious of a woman's beauty
is not at all necessarily to rate II higher
than brains or goodness, whereas to ignore
it altogether comes of a canting, quasi
puritanic notion that beauty, being mere
accident must never be allowed to be
cause Of pride. What nonsense that is! In
tellect is an accident, muscle is an accident,
and. at the risk of heresy, say that good
ness is an accident also. All these things
are accidents as much as beauty, but who
objects to reference to cleverness and
strength and good works? To many Of us
the sight of beautiful form is as comfort
ing and stimulating to the pulse of life as
the hearing of an epigram or even the re-
port of charity. Then why should we not
be grateful to the possessor of it? And why.
If due occasion arise, and rightness of
speech be ours, should we not please its
possessor by an acknowledgement of the
debt? There is a way in all things. On no
subject should compliment be made which
might discomfort the uncomplimented or
put nlodesty 10 the blush. But I protest
that the skulking. hang-dog, evasive trib-
utes to beauty which are all that our man
ners allow to it's face, are worse bred than
bold recognition of it, and since that is So
the amiable of us, of course. let ii alone al
together. But it is a confession that we
are not fit to be trusted with our tongues.

HENRY Wits LOVE.
One Of His Letters TO Anne Boleyn

Photographic reproductions have been
made recently of various ancient archives
in the Vatican library in Rome. particularly
those that bear upon the episodes OF early
English history. Sir Benjamin Stone. Nj.
p, was the lucky man to obtain special
permission TO make the copies. Among the
treasures selected by him for the purpose
was a series of manuscripts on the achieve
ments OF King Henry Wits adm!nistra-
the Kings signature and arguing against
Martin Luther's teachings. That paper was
sent by an envoy extraordinary TO Pope Leo
" in return for which the Pope gave the
King the title OF Defender OF the Faith
Another interesting subject was an orig
inal love letter written in his own hand in
French by Henry VII TO Anne Boleyn. A
heart marked with the letters "A. b."
adorns the paper at the end of the letter.
The letter. as translated reads:
