This Joaf or enko or bread is
^ I dark brown in color. Inside are
| many- large holes: Probably this
! part of the bread long sljd-e fell
j into dust, but much of the bread
I still remains in the., shape of
i whole kernels and pieces of grain,
j Elimination proves that the
1 bread was made of, Barley, and
the grains were only rudely crush-
ed and hot sifted. This proves
that barley bread was one
earliest, kihd made, and
baked and covered with twigs
jand leaves of the syeumore tree.
The process of preparing • for
bread is to be gathered frpm a
wall Inscription discovered at
Thebes. It is a graphic picture
of the entire process. - This pict-
ure shows that at that early
period even the hand mill was
till! fet invented.' The flour was
of course, fur ffomifllic, and the
bread resulting was the kind
found in the tombs. It was not
baked in ovens, but after being
kneaded into dough, by f the
addition of water, was placed
between two heated stones, or
pul, on. A j?!ntc ttnd laid upon the
redhot coals.

T he great Texas State Fair, now
conceded to be the largest com-
bined fair, exposition and race
meet in the United !>lates, was
organized in 188(5 with *L B.
Simpson as"* Prcsidcut and .Syd-
ney Smith as Secretary.
Its first entertainment opened
October 26, and continued teiw
days, .'Unlike most other insti-
tutions of its kind, it had no
• small hegi.tiug; no 'slow subse-
quent evolution, but was
the start, a full-fledged,
^Xomplcto State fair.
.Sjntw its organization fourteen
years ago, it hail paid out more
than $750,000 in premium, pur-
ses and attractions npd more
than $NMl,000 in buildings and
general iinprovcn.onts, theiTby
parceling out these princely u-
i.iounts to exhibitors for their
trouble, to material men for their
supplies, to mechanics for their
services, and to laborers for
their hint, to say.nothing" of (he
tnaity millions of dollars left in
htrt for inorc than 400 dpgs'J

■Vow/ Railroad ptation.
The London Globe gives an ac-
count of a unique Architectural
feat recently achieved in the me-
tropolis, A London railroad de-
.sifed to extend its line and build
a new station! The site selected
for a station was occupied by th«
church of St. Mary Woolnoth ami
Condemnation proceedings having
failed ail arrangement was made
whereby the station wAs.^jty be
built directly under the cliuritH,
on the same groiliul. After a lot ,
of tedious propping ttnd under-
pinning the old church; Which Is
(........ very niassive, w-jp* lifted bodily off
of the itit foundations aud sijiported on
it was ".system bf-hug^ gii-d|rs. Then
twins excavations were, made and the
station, with all its appointments,
is now nearly ready for occupan-
cy. The railroad at this point is
100 feet below the street leVelj iir
a tunnel, and to get to it the pas-
sengers will have to go down in
great elevators, which have i ca-
pacity of MOO people at a time:
