Primitive Rrsadmakinq.

/. The Arabs adhere to those ancestral
pt!r ciples of breadmaking which have
been sanctioned by the experience OF
ages. The very first baker Of bread
that ever lived must have done his
work exactly as the Arab does at this
day. He takes some meal and holds
it out in the hollow Of his hands While
his comrade pours over it few drops
of,:water. ! He then mashes up the
nioistened -four. into a paste, pulls tue
lump of dough- so made into small
pisces and TRUSTS them into the EN-
bers. His way of baking exactly re-
sembles the craft or mystery OF. roast
ing chestnuts As pracHeed by children.
There is the same. prudence and cir
cumspeetion In choosing good berth
fot the morsel. the same enterprise
and valor in pulling it out with the
