Loaves T-o Large for Ovens.

From the New York Times
 A familiar sight on Mulberry, Elizabeth, and all the other streets which the Ital- ians have taken possession of in this city is an Italian woman, carrying an immense loaf of bread as large around as a dish pan. She is carrying home loaf which she has made herself, but which she has baked at the bakers, because it was too large for her own oven. The Italian wives of the poorer classes seem to have one interchangeable receipe for a baking. Agents of charitable societies have found this out by the women always asking for cer- tain number of pounds of four just enough for one baking, In their grocery lists. They make the flour into number of loaves, which, put into one pan, bakes into one great loaf. The size of the fam fly seems to make no difference. If the family is small the bread simply lasts a little longer, and gets little drier The bread is very good when fresh They do not use as much yeast as American cooks, and the bread is very crusty, some- thing on the order of French bread The poorest families also use a great deal of "polenta." This is merely flour stirred in- to boiling water, after the manner of old fashioned American "hasty pudding" meal. No people in the world are so de- voted to wheat as the Italians. Whether in the form of bread poenta or the on- nipresent maearoni 1t forms the bulk of their diet.
