Inc reporter descended pair of steps 10
der saloon and entered a small hot room
with row Of furnaces in the wall and !,
row OF white aproned Germans working at
table.
This is where they make pretzels2n
Yes, sir, this is pretzel bakery" said a
venerable man, apparently the boss of the
establishment And then the old halar
kindly volunteered to explain the process to
the writer
There Is nothing strange or mysterious
about the baking Of pretzel. In some
citles machinery is used, but none has vet
been introduced in Cincinnati, although Ias
marvellous number of pretzels made and
eaten here would seem to necessitate II
"hite family Hour water, yeast and great
quantity of salt, are the only ingredients
used IN preparing the pretz,l for the oven.
Inc dough Is tough and heavy, and after it
mas been fairly worked, is placed in great
heaps on the long table before tie workmen.
These grab handful at a time, roll it out
into long, thin strips, and tie it up into the
proper shape One workmen can make a
pretzel every two seconds. After the dough
has been worked into the form of a praztel
IL is placed on a fiat wooden rack in the CEN
ter OF the room. As rack is filed, another
Is placed on top of it. Each rack holds 100
pretzels, and the tier, ten times as many.
The pretzels are next put into the i'm
mense ovens over the furnaces and thor
ouShly baked They are then run through
solution of I'VE water, for the purpose Of
making them look bright and glossy. The
fresh pretzel, after being sprinkled with
salt, Is ready for sale Those intended to
Keep for some time, however, undergo one
more process. They are put into the steam
box, where they remain two or three hours.
This renders them capable of being kept
many months. A very plausible supposition
has gained currency among beer drinkers
that the great quantity of salt which is
found in the pretzsl serves the clever pur-
pose OF producing thirst, and thus increasing
The profits OF the saloonkeeper. This is a
mistake. Salt is very generously used by
all pretzel bakers, but it is done for the pur-
pose of keeping the pretzel from becoming
stale, and giving it sharp, decided taste.

ask the lads whit they particularly wished
They pointed out two cheap dolls, and the
princess entered the shop to make the pur-
chase. The price was p cents, but to the
great Annoyance OF Queen yictoria's daugh
