For the wheat and tha chaff are mixed for us

It had been so handy in the goo

But now all was changed. Mile. Am- |

and we were all desperately head over

dents that were desperately in love with

cause Daburon never expended more than
ten centimes at a time. It was the so-
ciety of Mlle. Amenaide that Daburon
hungered for, and he got it because he
was entitled to it, being a purchaser.
Mlle. Amenaide was Jobinard's cashier,
It was a large shop,and there were several
assistants, but all moneys were paid to
Mile. Amenaide, the cashier, who sat in
a glass box underneath the great chiming
clock. :
Daburon, the sculptor, would enter
the shop, nod in a cavalier manner to
Jobinard, as though he were the very
dust beneath his fect; then he would
look at Mlle. Amenaide, raise his hat
with his right hand, place his left upon
his heart and make her a low bow: then
he would pretend to blow her a kiss
from the tips of his fingers, as though he
were a circus rider; then he would take
up a box of matches or some other pe.
culiarly inexpensive article,
“Have the kindness to wrap that up
carefully for me in paper,” he would re.
mark in a patronizing manner, Then he
would march up to Mile. Amenaide with
the air of an Alexander—you could al.
most hear the tune of ‘See the Conquer.
ing Hero Comes” playing as you saw
him do it. He would pay his 10 cen-
times and whisper some compliment into
the ear of Mlle. Amenaide. Then he
would receive his purchase from the
hand of M. Jobioard in a nificent
and condescending manner. Then he
would strike a ridiculous attitude of ex-
: rated admiration and stare at the
unhappy grocer as though he were one
of the seven wonders of the world,

“What muscularity I” he would say, and |
then he would heave a sigh and swagger
out of the shop.
Jobinard, oho was a particularly ugly,
thickset, hairy little man, used at first
rather to resent these roferences to his
personal advantages. His four assist.
ants and his cashier would titter, and
Jobinard used to blush, but at length
the poor fellow fell into the snare laid
for him by the villuin Daburon,
He got to believe himself the perfect
type of manly beauty. When a French-
man has once come to this conclusion, |
there is no folly of which he is not ready |
to be guilty. |
The fact is, Daburon had passed the |
word round. The Art students, male |
and female, invariably stared apprecia
tively at the little, hairy, thickset Jobin-
ard as though he were the glass of fash- |
jon and the mold of form. Jobinard |
now began to give himself airs. He
swaggered about the shop, he exhibited |
himself in the doorway, he posed and &t- |
titudinized all day long, and then we be-
gan to make it rather warm for Jobin
ard.

Art! Ah, if we only had vou to sit to

“You really ought to sacrifice yourself

remark. ‘You'd ruin the professional

would reply, his hairy, baboonlike face
grinning with delight, “‘a too benevolent

gain in the avoidance of the germs is
exceedingly plain
But while we can easily see the
dangers which attend the use of yeast
it is certain that the vesicnlating effect
prodaeed by it on the dough is to the
inst degree perfect. It is apparent
that if we are to substitute any other
system of bread making we must have
one which will give us, first, mechanical
resulta equally as good, that ix, that
will produce minnte bubbles of
carbonic acid gas throughout the mass
(of dough. Now it is in no way diffi-
{enlt to produce carbonic acid gas
chemioally, but when we are working
at bread we must use such chemicals
as ave perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find.
The evils wheh aitend the yenst-
made bread are obviated by the use of

‘and an alkali which, if properly com-
