Tho Family Oven in Greece.

On inquiry found that there was not,
as a rule, in Greece, as there is in New
England, any regular day for baking.
Washing and baking take place when
these are needed. The cooking is done, in
many instances, out of doors. Immedi-
ately outside Of the house, close to the
corner, you often see the family oven It
is like huge hens egg, made of baked
clay, with the narrow end pointing up
ward In the side IS large round aper-
ture. which is the door, and at the apex
Is small vent for the escape of the
smoke. This is closed by stone as soon
as the cooking is done. A large number
of the houses consisted of four walls Of
stone, covered with fat roof overspread
with earth or grassy turf. Where there
was any escape for the smoke. it was q
rude chimney consisting Of four small
piles of stone, which supported fat slab,
to prevent the wind of heaven from inter-
fering with the srroke. But l found In
many Instances in Megara, and elsewhere
In Greece, that the smoke was allowed the
freedom of the house, and, where it did
not creep out unwillingly through some
doubtful hole In the roof, it generally oc-
cupied itself with blackcning the rafters
or inducing a certain lschrymose condition
Of the ewes. which was extremely painful.
Owing to the steepness OF the hill, the
wall which we passed In the rear of the
house was often not more than few feet
above the level Of the street.-Cori1th
