Baked loaves of bread are | practically unknown in portions southern Austria and Italy, throughout the agricultural of Roumania, says the London Stand. ard. Austrians aver that in the vil PA. from Vienna, bread is never seen. The staple food is sterz, a kind of por ridge made from ground beech nuts, taken at breakfast with fresh or cur dled milk, at dinner with broth or fried lard, and at supper with milk. The dish is also called heiden, and is substituted for bread, not only in the Austrian district mentioned, but in Carinthia and other parts of the Ty rol.

It is eaten cold as often as it is hot, and i in every sense an Italian's dally bread. There is a variation of polenta called mama- liga, the favorite food of the poorest classes in Roumania.
