NEW-CENTURY CLUB.

At the literature class en- yesterday
weok in discussing Wordsworth,
Prof. Hancock said "A person hither-
to unacq uainted with Wordsworth and
beginning 10 read his complete works
would probably wonder how this man
came to be regarded as one OF the
greatest English poets when about
three. foarths Of his verse is not poetry
at all but unimaginativs platitudes,
or versiiied prose. Yet the remaining
one fourth entities him to rank as one
of nur greatest original poets. His
best work was produced in the first ten
years OF his career; for the remaining
years he was studiously and laboriously
producing poems which like aThe
Excursion though containing some
fins lines, are already doomed to OBJ
livion. lie was incapable Of criticising
his own work and had no sense Of
humar by which to detect when his
images vergcd on the ridiculous.
His originality was not that of
creating new ideas but he gave new
meaning, infused new force into those
already existing, ard made them vital
and effective He felt the joy offered
to us in nature and in the simple pri
mary affections of humanity and leads
us back to the primitive sources OF
pleasure. The writer's who proceeded
him, while protesting to love nature,
knew her only at second hand and
could write as good description of n
country they had never seen as of any

beauty of mountains. Addison could

nature; to their idea the mountains
should have been shapely pyramids and
cones. They Trimmed their trees into
nature, but nature as revised by man.
Order in variety we see;
Though all things differ, all agree.
They got their idea of nature from
Virgil and Theocritas, but Wordsworth
used his own eyes, he indisid ualized
all lie saw and reported its emotional
effects. and brought to the conscious
ness of men what they never saw
before. Nature opened her soul to him
for he studied her; he detected thr
spiritual essence back of the inert
matter and impaired tidings Of In
visible Things. He was the poet o.
nature, but the shock Of the French
Revolution made him feel that the
living life was the greatest thing after
all and he became humanist. His
poems of humanity are sometimes bold
in thFir directue's; they have no vivid
imagery, no high color, but they have
tue direct simplicity and nobility Of
the Book of Ruth. He makes US fee

affections and duties of humanity.

GRAVES AND SAUCES


Editor OF Good Cookery;
Why Is It that In hotels ana restac-
rants we have such flne rich iookins
gravies, when, do the best We may. the
ordinary housewife cannot secure thems
think am very good cook--every-
body tells me so, at any >rate.--and l can
roast any kind Of meat until 1t is done
to turn. but when It comes to making
q gravy, II seems to me fail lamentabiy
The product obtain Is often lumpy. and
also light, unpalatable appearing mess
have tried many ways suggested for
making brown gravies and sauces, but
none seem to be just what 1 need. Can
you tell me what to do and how to do 1t
in plain terms. so can understand the
processe MRS. j. l.. b.
The making OF good brown gravy is
sometimes very difficult. even to a pro
fesslonal cook. The conditions that make
1t easy are sometimes absent. Ordinarily
speaking, the Seiices left in the pan in
which Joint Is roasted should form the
basis of a good gravy.
After the roast has been removed YOU
should skim of as thoroughly as possible
all tho grease, as. II left there. II would
spoil the best efforts of anyone. II this
skimming has left but little juice In the
pan, common way of making a gravy
is TO set the dish on the top Of the xange
and dust Into the little liquid a little
flour, stirring constantly as 1t browns,
until you have a smooth paste. Then
add by degrees sufficient amount of
good stock TO give the quantity and con-
sistency required.
II there is reasonable amount of
juices, You may first add more stock or
even hot water, II the product OF the pan
Is very rich, and then stir In table
spoonful OF -four or corn starch wet in
cold water.
II the -four Is we'll mixed with the
water and the product Is not lumpy,
there Is no reason why there should be
Jumps in the gravy. g..
The color Of the gravy depends upon
several things, II roast of pork Is
cooked dry, -four being sprinkled over
the bottom of the pan. the -four will
brown. at the outset and will color the
juices sufficiently to give you a good
brown grovy.
IN rpasuhg Ncti. hoSte frequently, us
ing at first half cupfm of warm water
In which a piece OF buater the size OF an
English walnut has been melted. THIN
this with the juices from the meat
should be used for bastlng. Sufficient OF
this will burn on the pan to brown the
LIQUID. which you will .hicksn to the
consistency desired.
You will find beef and lamb as a rule
fat enough TO cook themselves so far as
the bssting Is concerted.
II your gravy Is not brown enough to
suit when made as above, you may color
u In this way: In large iron spoon put
small psece Of butter. MI up with sugar
and place the spoon on the Goals. The
heat will melt and color the mixture a
very dark color and this hastily made
caramel will color the gravy as dark as
you could WISHED.

AT A DUTCH WEDDING.

A Dutch wedding is quaint
ceremony-very different from
an American one.
The wedding party enters the
church in couples, the bride and
the bridegroom together, and
the relatives of both following.
Seats are arranged in semi
circle in front of the pulpit,
where the black-gowned pastor
stands to conduct the service.
This consists of the reading
of a portion of Scripture, a
long, extemporary exhortation
and a number of prayers. Dur
ing the whole service the con.
gregation remains seated, tor it
is against Calvinistic custom to
kneel for prayer.
At the close of the service the
