Bread i.akin- in London.
A London hakchou>c is almost invari.
ably situated in q cellar. Generally il il
n cellar that might do we'll enough for
the reception OF lumber, hat is utterly
! unfit for any other purpose, and, of all
purposes to which it might possibly he
| put, for the manufacture of bread. The
writer spent Il ni.eht in such Il place u
short time ago. The walls were hulgin~,
cOhwchl'y and old; the ovens were I'M
der the pavement of the street; the
refuse of the hakchnuSe WAS deposited
near the ovens; tn" four or five com

sacks of iiour.and holding assemblies in
the bins. This, however, WAS rather 4
superior bakchnuSe. The dirty and
dismal caverns in which most of our
bread is made are inaccessible. If the
baker does not regard cleanliness Is Il
moral obligation, h. is, at any rate,
fully aware tina; the cellars in which he
practices his mystery are not quite such
show places rs they ought tG he. The
circumstance that they are underground,
and that the ovens are So placed rs to
draw the air which fools them often
from the close proximity of the drains =
over the trOuyhS in which tn" dough il
kneaded, IS in itself sufficiently appall-
inS. Broad readily ab,orb> the mir that
surrounds it, and ought never To be
made or To be kept in confined places.
In London, however, it is hahtuallv
made in dcns so confined and nauscous
that the bakers trade is one of the most
unhealthy in existence.
| The condition of the hakrhouScs IL
one of the least evils connected with
the evisting system of bread making
Bread is made now after much the same
fashion as was in vogue, probably, in
the Cities of the Plain. The baker still
uses his naked arms in the process of
kneading. The ''Spnnge" is Laid in long
wooden troughs. Over these the jo',r-
neyman baker, often working in Il tenn
prrature of ninety degrees, bends for
half an hour or 50 while he knrad> the
dough. OF course he pcrIpires. His
occupation is ~ laburlous almost rs that
of the blacksmith, and produces similar
outward effects. However much he may
be disposed 10 cleanliness, he can not
pursue his occupation except under
conditions that To any Que not accus-
TONED to the process are Sickcnng to
behold. After belaboring the dough
much rs Il housewife belabors feather
bed, he "rubs his arms out'-that is,
he clears them OF the paste with which
they are encrustcd by dipping his hands
In dry flour and rubbing them down his
arms. The dough comes off in little
rolls, which are returned to the trough
ane kneadcd in with the bread. This is
not the case only in bakehouses which
are doing a "cutting" business. Ii is
the process common in all bakehouScs.
The dough which adheres to the arms,
saturated rs it must be with impurity,
would otherwise be so much waste, and
in a bakehouse nothing is wasted.
such things are not pleasant to dwell
upon; but bread is the chief food of the
people, and it Is as well that we should
know how it is manufactured Before
being made up into loavcs and put in
the oven it goes through tiresome
amount of handling. After being
kneaded in the troughs it is pulled out
in pieces and rolled vigorously on a
bench. Now and then a knife is taken
up and the bench is scraped, and the
scrapings are returned to the trough.
The old proverb about eating II peek of
dirt has a more literal application than
is generally supposed. We take great
deal of our allowance in our bread. 1t
is Il remarkable fact that there is more
popular ignorance on the subiec: OF food!
than on anything else which Is nrcess:l.
ry to our daily life. In nothing, more
over, do we take so much on trust rs in
the article of bread. If, by some acct
dent, the public could watch our bakers
at work for a few hours there would be
II general and immediate resort to home.
