How Oatmeal is Made.

The first operation in the manu-
facture of the meal is the removing from
the oats all cookie. small oats and for
eign seeds OF whatever kind, for if any
OF these remlin the quality of the meal
is much injured. Black oats, if even of
good quality, give bad appearance to
pears in the form of black particles.
which to the tidy housewife appears to
be something much more uncleanly.
After the oats have been properly
cleaned by sitting they are sub, ected to
the operation Of drying. This is &C
complished in dry kilns, with special
apparatus constructed for the purpose,
This operation requires some care to
prevent the oats from burning. AS soon
as sufficiently dry they are removed
from the kiln while still very hot and
stored in such way as to lave them
retain their heat; after thus remaining
three or four days and hardening they
are ready for the shelling operation.
This Smelling is accomplish by pass
ing the oats through millstones of q
special pattern. The product that
comes from the stones is greats, or the
whole kernels, dust, seeds, etc., and
these must be separated By means OF
combination of sieves and fans the
greats are separated from the other
material, and are then ready for grind
ing. For extra quality meal the greats
may be shelled and also passed through
brushing machine. The grinding of
them must not be long DELAYED, as
few weeks exposure renders them unfit
for milling. In grinding the groat, the
great aim Is to avoid pulverization, and
to have the granules cut square and OF
uniform size. Oatmeal Is generally
denominated by the cut-as pin-head
cut. rough cut, medium and fine cut
though these terms have different neal
ings in different districts. After the grind.
ing the meal is passed through sieves
and the siftings graded according to
size. IN y Herald

The architectural disposition of near
~ all the houses in kairwan is the
same: q square block, in the middle OF
which is q square court. The door is
low, strengthened by nails, and fur
nished with large bolts; it only opens
half way with terrible grating. The
rooms are arranged around the court,
which, as well as the terraced roofs,
slants in order to facilitate the running
of the water into cistern. They drink
only rain-water; the water of the wells
contains much magnesia, but serves for
all household purposes.
The living-room of the family serves
at once for reception, dining and bed
room: it is the only one decently fur
nished and clean. 1t is in the shape OF
. Latin cross, taking away the foot, and
forms, in fact, three distinct compart-
ments separated by curtains. To the
right and left are the beds; in front, low
divans furnished with cushions; the
walls are hung with variegated carpets.
or ornamented with encaustic faience to
the height of a man. The ceiling is
made of young olive trunks placed
transversely upon the walls, which ex-
plains the narrowness of the rooms and
the absence of large square ones. In
the dwellings of the rich the paved floor
is covered with mating and carpeting,
the ceiling is covered with a panelling
of wood decorated with arabeslues,
and little shelves are hung
here and there. Sometimes fam
tastic animals. painted in red
with q hieratical rigidity and barbarism,
relieve the baroness of the whitewashed
walls. During the hot hours of the siesta
the door, carefully shut, preserves in the
interior an agreeable freshness. a little
window furnished with glass gives a
discreet light, which leaves all the OBJ
jects in shadow-like obscurity propi-
tious to nonchalant revcrie. There are
no cellars, but in the pavement of the
floor of the court and rooms one notices
large square flag stones, the situation
of the silos-a kind of great hole, with
careful mason-work, where the provis-
ion o. grain is kept for the whole year.
These houses, veritable gynecaa,
shelter the women, whose husbands are
arbitrary and jealous masters, and Sc.
clude them from all contact with the
outer world. To enter here is an es-
pecial favor reserved for the physician
and the marabout. Fortunately for me,
l had brought traveling-case of med
icine, and the very first days l had to
attend several neighbors. 1 had regu-
lar patients, and my reputation extend
ed itself little by little. This character
of physician, the best passport in Ara
bian countries, allowed me to see and
observe closely many things which,
without it, fanaticism would have hid
den inexorably from Christian eyes,
