These are a very pleasing type through

add much to the rich and tasteful ap-
pearance of the rooms. The entire

MADE BREAD OF LOTUS SEED

n T is the habit of writer's. speakers
and even of plain conversationalists
to refer to certain classes of man
kind as lotus eaters" meaning. of
course, that they are idle, indolent per-
sons of luxurious and frivolous tastes.
There were in the ancient world real
and true lotus eaters and it may be
that they were as industrious and
Woodworking as the persons who did
not eat the lotus.
Among the old Egyptians the lotus.
which is an important member of the
water lily family, was an article of
food with the common people and it
was SO extensively used that it may
properly be said to have been staple
article of food.
Herodotus of Halicarnassus, in his
famous record of travels and re-
searches through the world of his
period wrote of the Egyptians who
ly fond of the lotus, and they found 1T
to be of great value as food. Herodotus
said that when the Nile is full and has
made the plains like q sea, great num-
bers of lilies, which the Egyptians call
lotus, spring up in the water These,
according to Herodotus. they gathered
and dried in the sun, and then having
pounded the middle of the lotus, which

wrote that the root of the lotus was
also fit for food "and is tolerably sweet

of the size of olive stone. and they

HerodotuS wrote of an annual plant
of which the Egyptians were very
fond. He calls this the "byblus. and

relished stewed byblus also esteemed

Lotus bread was not the oldest form
of bread by many centuries. The earli-
est bread was probably made Of crush

generally called milling" was, in the
ten record. an integral part of bread
making. In Genesis it is written that
Abraham bids his wife Sarah make
ready quickly three measures of fine
meal. knead it and make cakes upon
the hearth
1t is not to be inferred that the an
cient Egyptians used lotus bread al
together. They ground up a number of
varieties of grain. among these being
wheat and millet. and they baked loaves
like modern mullins. 1t has also been
proved that they ate hot rolls and that
understanding and pleasant tasting
seeds.
