CARAVAN BREADMAKTNa.
AfOhans Use CobbIestones, While Fur.

AfQhans Use CobbIestones, While Fur.
 comans Like Sand.
 The bread of the Afghan caravan was cooked by heating small round cobblestones in the fire and then polk ing them out and wrapping dough an inch thick about them. The balls thus formed were again thrown into the fire, to be pOked out again when cook ed. The bread tasted well there ill the desert, although in civilized communi- ties the grit and ashes would have seemed uncomfortable.
 After good fellowship had been es- tablished the Afghans actually sold us some flour, says writer in the Ma t1Onal Geographical Magazine. The camp where We used it a little later happened to be beside the sandy bed of a trickling salt stream, which was dr1nkable in winter, but absolutely un- usable i1 summer, when evaporation is at it's height and the salt is concen- tFated. :,-- 5a
 "See," said one of our Turcomans as we dismOunted; "here is some sand. Tonight we can have some good bread.'
 When some dry twigs had been gath- cred he proceeded to smooth off bit of the cleanest sand and built upon it a hot fire. When the sand was thor oughly hot he raked off most of the coals and smoOthed the sand very nedt4 ly. Meanwhile one of the other men had made two large sheets of dough about three-quarterS of an inch thick and eighteen inches in diameter. Be- tween these he placed a layer of lump~r of sheep's tail. fat, making huge round sandwich. This was now spread on the hot sand, coals mixed with sand were placed completely over it, and it was left to bake. Now and then an edge was uncovered, and a Turcomafl' smelled it appreciatively and rapped' on it to see if it was yet cooked. When the top was thoroughly baked the bread was turned over and covered. up again. 1t tasted even better than the Afghan bread after it was cooled a little and the sand and ashes had been whisked off with girdle. The Turcomans are so accustomed to life. in the sandy desert that they think it impossible to make the best kind of bread without sand, while the Af- ghans, who live in the stony noun tains, think that cObblestones are a requisite.

THE ZANZIBARlS.
Dense Stu upidtty and Amusing 5lunders of the Natives.

Dense Stu pidity and Amusing 5lunders
 of the Natives.
 In the Autobiography of Sir Henry M Stanley" the author says of the colored natives of central Africa:
 Good as the majority of Zanzibarts were, some of them were indescriba- bly, and for me most unfortunately dense. One man who from his personal appearance might have been judged to be among the most intelligent was after thirty months experience with his musket unable to understand how it was to be loaded. He never could remember whether he ought to drop the powder or the bullet into the mus ket first. Another time he was sent with a man to transport company of men over a river to camp. After wait ing an hour l strode to the bank of the river and found them paddling in opposite directions, each blaming the other for his stupidity and, being in "a passion of excitement, unable to hear the advice of men across the yriver, who were bawling out to them how to manage their canoe.
 Another man was so ludicrously stupid that he generally was saved from punishment because his mistakes were so absurd. We were one day floating down the Kongo, and, it being near camping time, I bade him, as he happened to be bowman on the occa- sion, to stand by and seize the grass on the bank to arrest the boat when I should call out. In little while we came to fit place, and cried, Hold hard, Kirangov Please God, master he replied and forthwith sprang on the shore and seized the grass with both hands, while we, of course, were rapidly swept down river, leaving him alone and solitary on the bank. The boats crew roared at the ridiculous sight, but nevertheless his stupidity cost the tired men a hard pull to, as cend again, for not every place was available for camp.
 "He it was also who on an occasion when we required the branch of spe- cies of arbutus which oyerhung the river to be cut away to, allow the ca noes to be brought nearer to the bank for safety actually went astride of the branch and chopped away until he fell into the water with the branch and lost our ax He had seated himself on. the outer end of the branch"

Cat and Dog Laws In England In The
Sixteenth Century.

Disease and the dog were believed
to walk together In the sixteenth CEN
tury.' The terrier then was as much
a suspect as the rat today. In plague
times he had only to venture into the
street to court death. Here L. an or
der issued by the authorities at Win
chester In 1888. which Is typical Of the
rest: THAT II any house within this
cytie shall happen to be infected with
the Plague. that theme every persOne
to keepe within his or her house every
his or her dogg and not to suffer them
to goo ut large. And If any dogge be
then founde at large 1t shall be lawful
for the Beadle or any other person to
kill the same dogg and that any owner
Of such dogg going at large shall lose
q shillings."
Among the records Of Kings Lynn.
under May. 1886, appeared this: For
as muche as 1t hath pleased Allmightie
God to Begun to send us his vista
cion with sickness amongst us and
that dogges and Gates are thought
verie unfit to be suffered In this TYNE.
Therefore. Mr.. Major. aldermen and
common council have ordered and
decreed that every inhabitant within
the same Town shall forthwith take
all their dogges and yappes and hange
them or kill them and carrye them to
some out place and burye them Tor
breadinge Of great annoyance.
"And likewise for Gates. II there be
any nigh unto any house or houses WIS.,
tied with sickness. II Is ordered that
the cnttes shah furthwith be killed In
all such places" An exception was
made in favor Of any "dogge OF ac-
