Bread Baking in London.
A London bakehouse is almost invari
ably situated in a cellar. Generally it is
a cellar that might do well enough for
the reception of lumber, but is utterly
unfit for any other purpose, and, of all
purposes to which it might possibly be
put, for the manufacture of bread. The
writer spent a night in such a place a
short time ago. The walls were bulging,
cobwebby and old; the ovens were un
der the pavement of the street; the
refuse of the bakehouse was deposited
near the ovens; the four or five com
partments into which the cellar was
divided were small and close, and when
the ga3 was lighted at midnight cock
roaches were swarming over walls and
ceilings, chasing each other about the
sacks of flour,and holding assemblies in
the bins. This, however, was rather a
superior bakehouse. Tka
bread is made are inaccessible, if the
baker does not regard cleanliness as a
moral obligation, he is, at any rate,
fully aware that the cellars in which he
practices his mystery are not quite such
Bhow places as they ought to be. The
circumstance that they are underground,
and that the oven3 are so placed as to
draw the air which feeds them —often
from the close proximity of the drains —
over the troughs in which the dough is
kneaded, is in itself sufficiently appall
ing. Bread readily absorbs the air that
surrounds it, and ought never to be
made or to be kept in confined places.
In London, however, it is habitually
made in dens so confined and nauseous
that the baker’s trade is one of the most
unhealthy in existence.
The condition of the bakehouses is
one of the least evils connected with
the existing system of bread-making.
Bread is made now after much the same
fashion as was in vogue, probably, in
the Cities of the Plain. The baker still
uses his naked arms in the process of
kneading. The “sponge” is laid in long
wooden troughs. Over these the jour
neyman baker, often working in a tem-
Eerature of ninety degrees, bends for
alf an hour or so while he kneads the
dough. Of course he perspires. His
occupation is as laborious almost as that
of the blacksmith, and produces similar
outward effects. However much he may
be disposed to cleanliness, he can not
pursue his occupation except under
conditions that to any one not accus
tomed to the process are sickening to
behold. After belaboring the dough
much as a housewife belabors a feather
bed, he “rubs his arms out” —that is,
he clears them of the paste with which
they are encrusted by dipping his hands
in dry flour and rubbing them down his
arms. The dough comes off in little
rolls, which are returned to the trough
ane kneaded in with the bread. This is
not the case only in bakehouses which
are doing a “cutting” business. It is
the process common in all bakehouses.
The dough which adheres to the arms,
saturated as it must be with impurity,
would otherwise be so much waste, and
in a bakehouse nothing is wasted.
Such things are not pleasant to dwell
upon; but bread is the chief food of the
people, and it is as well that we should
Know how it is manufactured. Before
being made up into loaves and put in
the oven it goes through a tiresome
amount of handling. After being
kneaded in the troughs it is pulled out
in pieces and rolled vigorously on a
bench. Now and then a knife is taken
up and the bench is scraped, and the
scrapings are returned to the trough.
The old proverb about eating a peck of
dirt has a more literal application than
is generally supposed. We take agreat
deal of our allowance in our bread. It
is a remarkable fact that there is more
popular ignorance on the subject of food
•than on anything else which is necessa
ry to our daily life. In nothing, more
over, do we take so much on trust as in
the article of bread. If, by sonv acci
dent, the public could watch our bakers
at work for a few hours there would be
a general and immediate resort to Rome
made bread. —Pall Mall Gazette.

A scandal prevails at Loveland, Ohio,
concerning the boy evangelist Harrison.
The Camp-meeting Association erected
a cottage at a cost of $175, furnished it
in elegant style, and set it asido for
Harrison’s exclusive occupancy, or use.
"When the camp-meeting closed, the
other day, Mr. Harrison offered to dis
pose of the cottage, furniture and
grounds, all in a lump, for S2OO. He
was notified by several members of the
Association that it was not bis to dis
pose of, but on his vacating it, reverted
to the Association. Mr. Harrison was
non-plussed, and went away dissatisfied,
and now there is considerable talk and
scandal about the matter. The ladies
all think Mr. Harrison ought to have
the cottage, but not so with the hard
hearted men.
What Arabi’s rebellion is already cost
ing Egypt may be judged from the
Alexandria dispatch to the Manchester
Examiner. Her cotton crop averages
two hundred millions of pounds an
nually, and that is altogether lost for
this year. Her exportation of wheat
ought to be about twenty-five millions
of pounds, but there will be not enough
garnered in this season for the support
of the native population. England has
recently been paying her t**n millions of
dollars annually for cottonseed that i:;
compressed into oil cake, and ow that
item of revenue is sacrificed. The Lon
don Shipping and Merchant Gazette de
clares that it is almost impossible to
compute the monetary disaster in
um wutab uenvenes 10 England musf,
however, be supplied by American ex
portation, and if the war is inevitable,
our shippers may conscientiously con
sent to make all the money they can out
of it.
Burns.
Extensive burns are apt to be fatal,
even when death does not follow from
the shock caused by the accident. Why
they are fatal has been a cause of sur
prise in cases where no internal organ
lias been harmed. Recent examinations
of persons who have died from this
cause have shown that the blood was
thick and viscid. Much of tlie blood
water ( liquor sanguinis) had been
drained from the blood, rendering it
unfit for its functional purposes. The
loss was undoubtedly due to rapid exu
dation from the inflamed surfaces.
To what an extent exudation takes
place has been shown by the large
drops of fluid that have been pressed
from the burned skin of a rabbit. When
the animal was placed in a hot room,
the fur over the burned part remained
moist, although it quickly dried when
moistened on other parts of the body.
In cholera there is a somewhat simi
lar loss, but there are also great thirst
and shrinkage of the itibscle, which is
not the case in burns. It is, however,
only the serum—blood-water without
the fibrin—instead pf the water of the
blood-proper, which t* framed off. As
this changes the density of the latter,
the blood-vessels, according to a well
known law, tend to draw a supply to
meet the lack from the tissues,
causing their great shrinkage.*
In the case of burns, however, there
is simply a diminution of the qu.SUity
of the blood-water, and no change in its
density; hence no absorption from the
muscular tissues takes place.
Burns in which the scarf-skin is not
destroyed do not so seriously affect the
system.
The aim in the treatment of burns
should be to arrest the exudation of the
water on the surface. Soda not only
removes the pain of burns, but it will
save life even when the burns cover
surface enough to cause death. Its re
markable curative power probably lies
ln the fact that it renders the surface
dry.— Youth's Companion.
He Took the Cue.
A Chinaman, clothed in the conven

Avenue cigar store yesterday, laid down
a ten cent piece on the counter, and held
up two fingers. The mute demand was
readily complied with by the intel
ligent tobacconist, who, with the
nunost suavity, addressed his customer
in “pigeon English:”
“ Livee ’round here, John?”
The Celestial gave his interrogator a
curious look and replied in excellent
English, with a faultless pronunciation:
“ Well, not in this immediate vicini
ty ; I am temporarily sojouring with a
friend on Fifth Avenue, but eventually
expect to return to New Haven and
prosecute my.studies in the School of
Science. Good morning, sir.”
The cigar dealer had entertained a

some nights ago because, as he said,
they had no right to write about En

—Venice and Amsterdam are the

Berlin will soon have 50. Altogether
the most beautiful and striking bridge

It is impossible to divert her thoughts

—They pulled down a chimney at the
Royal Mint, in Berlin, the other day,

—Mr. Dijoud, who had previously
been convicted eighteen times, and
spent thirty-five years in prison, lately

fire being quickly discovered, only
$7,000 of damage was done. He said
he was tired of prisons in France, and
wished to end his days in New Caledo

—The recent solar eclipse calls to
mind an incident of Francois Arago,
who gained among his simple country
neighbors an almost unoanny reputa

eclipse. Not long afterward he was a
candidate for election to the National
Assembly, and was elected by an al
most unanimous vote of his constituents.
The wealth and government influence
of the rival candidate created no impres
sion upon the voters. “No, no,” they
cried; “we must vote for Arago, for, if
we don’t, he may get mad and hurl an
other eclipse at us!”

—The following clause was found in
the will of a Yorkshire rector: “Seeing
that my daughter Anne has not availed
herself of my advice touching the ob

her arms bare up to the elbows, my will
is that, should she continue at my death
in this violation of the modesty of her
sex, all the goods, chattels, money,
lands, and all other things that I have
devised to her for the maintenance of
her future life shall pass to the eldest
son of my sister Caroline. Should any
one take exception to this as being too
severe, I answer that license in the dress
of a woman is a mark of a depraved
mind.”
Killed the Wrong Hens.
All irascible sea-Captain settled down
to Portland life by the side of a well
tempered man, and the two got along
very well until tlie hen question came
up. Said the Captain:
“ I like you as a neighbor, but I do*V
like your hens, and if they trouble
any more 1 11 shoot them.”
The mild-mannered neighbor studiv
over the matter some, but knowing the
Captain’s reputation well by report, he
replied:
“ Well, if we can't get along any
other way, shoot the hens, but I’ll take
it as a favor if you will throw them
when dead over into our yard and yell
to my wife.
“ All right,” said the Captain.
The next day the Captain’s gun was
heard, and a dead hen fell in the quiet
I man’s yard. The next day another
was thrown over, the next two, ami the
next after three.
“Say,” said the quiev man,
“couldn't you scatter them along a lit
tle? We really can't dispose of the
number you are killing.”
“Give’em to your poor relations,”
replied the Captain, gruffly.
And the quiet man did. He kept his
neighbors well supplied with chickens
for some weeks.
One day the Captain said to the quiet
man:
“ 1 have half a dozen nice hens I’m
going to give you if you’ll keep quiet
about this affair.”
“ How is that,” said the quiet man.
“Are you sorry because you killed my
hens?’’
“Your hens!” said the Captain.
“Why, sir, those hens belonged to my
wife! I didn’t know she hau any until
I fed you and your neighbors all sum
mer out of her flock.”— Portland (.lfe.)
