DELICIOUS BREAD.
How the staff of Life Is Made by the
Bakers of Southern Spain.


The bread in the south of Spain is de-
licious; it is as white as snow, close as
cake, and yet very light; the four id
the most admirable, for the whea6 ~,
good and pure, and the bread we'll
kneaded. The way they make this
bread is as follows: From large, long
painters filed with wheat they take
out handful at time; sorting it
most carefully and expeditiously,
and throwing every defective grain
into another basket. This done, the
wheat is ground between two circu-
lar stones, as it was ground in Egypt
two thousand years ago, the requisite
rotary motion being given by blind
folded mule, which passes around and
around with untiring patience, bell
being attached to his neck which, as
long as he is in movement, tinkles on,
and when it stops he is urged to his duty
by the shout of ''ar mula' from some
one within hearing. When ground, the
wheat is sifted through three sleeves,
the last one of these being so fine that
only the pure -four can pass through it;
this is of a pale apricot color. The bread
is made in the evening. 1t is mixed
with sufficient water, with little salt
in it, to make into dough; a very
small quantity of leaven or yeast
in one batch of household bread,
as in Spain, would last week for
the six or eight donkey loads OF
bread they send every day from their
oven. The dough made, it is put into
sacks and carried on the donkey's back
to bake it Immediately after kneading.
On arriving there the dough is divided
into portions weighing three pounds
each. Two long, narrow wooden tables
on trestlcs are then placed down the
room, and curious sight may be seen.
About twenty men, bakers, come in
and range themselves on one side of the
table. a lump of dough is handed to
the nearest, which he begins kneading
and knocking about with all his might
for about three or four minutes, and
then passes it on to his next neighbor,
who does the same, and so on success
lively until all have kneaded it, when it
becomes as soft as new putty and ready
for the oven. OF course, as soon as the
first baker has handed the first lump
over to his neighbor, another lump is
handed him, and so on until the whole
quantity of dough is kneaded by them
all. The bakers wives and daughters
shape the loaves for the oven, and some
of them are very small. They are baked
immediately.-C

LIFE FROM DEATH.
1Benefactions from the Grave Illus
trated by the Egyptians.


trated by the Egyptians.
A package of peas was once found in
fold of the wrappings of an Egyptian
mummy, where it had lain undisturbed
three thousand years. The peas were
at once soaked in tepid water and after
ward planted. They soon terminated,
grew finely and produced good crop.
1t will be remembered that at various
times kernels OF wheat have been found
in the wrapping cloths of mummies,
which, on being planted, have grown
and fiourished finely.
The above facts teach US a very inter-
esting lesson regarding the Egyptians
of the years far, far back. 1t is this:
Their religion taught them to provide
for the continuance of the fruits of the
earth in remote times, SO that the bless
ings of God might be made manifest to
man as we'll through the bounties of
nature as in the growth of the spirit.
And thus they made use of death for
the transmission of the germs of life to
ages in the incalculable future, for they
knew that the repose of the dead was
sacred among the people of the passing
generations, and that only chance and
natural changes and causes would reveal
their good works-reproducing for 9TH
ers, perhaps at time when the need
would be greatest, those life-giving
plants whose benefits they had enjoyed.
If the Egyptians honored the dead
with costly buria!s, they took care that
life should have the benefit of death in
something more durable than monu-
mental stone and the fulsomeness of eu-
lory. How much nobler, how much higher
the economic morality of this, than the
later custom of placing marble memori-
ais over or beside the dead, and inscrib-
ing upon them, not always the true
character of the occupant of the tomb,
but a supposititious one which wealth
could purchase-perhaps a lie to the
generation then passing onward, and
only description of that which Should
come after. The Egyptian priests tried
their dead in solemn court and with an
imposing ceremonial, and they gave
honorable burial to those only who had
been honorable in their lives. Why may
we not believe that those dead in whose
custody were left seeds for the repro
duction Of fruit in after ages were per-
sons of peculiar sanctity of lives or dis
tinguished by the noblest virtues? We
may venture to suppose that these
things we're confided to their ghostly
keeping so that tho blessings of the in
heritance might be magnified to us.
The world is every day learning by
sharply presented contrasts to respect
more and more highly the wisdom and
religion of those mighty men of Egypt
whose histories they have SO carefully
handed down to US. Their monoliths
and tablets, thus inscribed, now thou
sands of years old, if left where they be-
long-under the burning heaven of the
East, and onveloped by pure, clear at
mosphere-will be fresh, comparatively,
as though newly hewn, when our shafts
and memories shall have crumblod into
dust, our books become widowed and
worm-eaten, and the memories of our
honorable dead shall be perpetuated
only in other and perhaps inaccurate
histories, Washington Post
