THE ANTIQUITY OF BAKING.
Bread Making a Prehistoric Art
Egyptians as Bakers.
tChicago News.]


The origin Of baking precedes the period Of
history, and is involved in the obscurity of
the early ages of the human race Excava-
tions made in Switzerland give evidence
that the art of making bread was practiced
by our prehistoric ancestors, as early as the
stone period. From the shape of loaves it is
thought that no ovens were used at that
time, but the dough was rolled into small
round cakes, and laid on hot stones, being
covered with glowing ashes; Bread is mem
ham, wishing TO entertain three angels, Of
fered to fetch morsel of bread" Baking
is again referred TO where Sarah has inStruc-
lions to make ready quickly three measures
of fine meal. kneadit, and make cakes upon
the hearth" Lot entertained two angels by
giving them unleavened bread. The mere
mention Of unleavened bread shows that
there were two kinds of bread made even at
that time.
The art of baking was carried on to high
perfection among the Egyptians, who are
said TO have baked cakes in many fantastic
shapes, using several kinds of flour. The
Romans took up the art of baking, and pub
lie bakeries were numerous in the streets of
Rome In England the business of the baker
was considered one so closely affecting the
interests of the public that in 1866 an act of
parliament was passed regulating the price
to be charged for bread This regulation
COutiuucu III OptIdtlOH uubli 1o1l III louuOus
end until 1886 in the rest of the country.
The art of making bread has not yet reached
some countries in Europe and Asia. In the
rural parts of Sweden no bread is made but
rye cakes are baked twice a year, and are as
hard as flint 1t is less than century ago
that bread was used in Scotland, the Scotch
people of every class living on barley ban
nocks and oaten cakes
Owing to the fact that bread is sold very
cheaply in Great Britain, the bakers of that
country are poorly paid class of laborers.
For years the employers made use of child
labor to such an extent that Parliament in
1868 passed law making 1t a criminal offense
TO employ young person under the age of
eie hteen years to work in bskehouse be-
tween the hours of o'clock D. M. and
o'clock a. m. As most of the work done by
bakers is in the night, this statutory law in
Great Britain virtually prohibits child labor
in bakehouses. In all countries of the world
wheat flour is the principal material for max
ing bread, although rye is used largely among
the peasantry in some parts of Europe. The
price Of bread has always followed the
market price of wheat very closely, and a
recent rise in wheat advanced the price of
pound loaf in Chicago 25 per cent.

all the horrible sensations of an assassin cutchng
your throat and pressing the lifebreath from your
frightened chest? Have you noticed the languor
and debility that succeeds the effort to clear your
throat and head of this catarrhal matter? What a
depressing influence it exerts upon the mind.

the nasal passages, throat and lungs of this pois-
onous mucus all can testify who are afflicted with
catarrh. How difficult to protect the system
against its further progress towards the lungs,

terrible disease and cries out for relief and cure
