In I'rnnce the bread Is baked In rolls about the size of n man's arm und four feet long. In France, (lerniany, Austria nnd oilier civilized countries of K.uropo, however, the dif ference Is not very noticeable except lu the form of the bread. In Bulgaria the bread Is heavy nud black, ami mixed with sand tlie re sult of carelessness lu handling nnd milling the wheat. In large towns the "iiillchbrod" of ticrniiiny can be ob tained, but the peasantry bake their clammy lumps of coarse brown dough In tlie ashes of their hearth and cat them with morsels of rancid cheese, lu Asia the bread is cal'.cd "cmek" ami takes the form of tint cakes, Or sheets, about two feet III diameter and tlie thickness of ordinary blotting pa per. It s made merely of coarse wheat Hour ami water, nnd is best when n few days old. As It advances In age il becomes hard and brittle, ami Is useful for persons traveling n long distance. It Is eaten chiefly with bowls of clabbered milk, the bread be ing rolled Into scrolls and one cud (lipped Into the milk. Tu Asia Minor I lie bread Is made of liner wheat and flour than the cluck, ami is rendered light by the addition of leaven. It Is baked lu little hoops or lings, nud the traveler threads a number of these on a string and hangs them on the pommel of his saddle. They heroine very hard, but can be eaten by holding one end In water tin till It becomes soft enough to bite, when it will be found sweet and wholesome.

These are red hot and quickly convert It Into a cake of nicely browned Indentations and spongy ris ings that lender It almost as light as If leavened with yeast. Tills bread should be eaten when quite new, as Il soon becomes tough. This bread when baked by the peasantry is some what different, their oven being n large upright earthen Jar, In which live coals are placed and a cover put on the top. The dough being patted Into n cake by the hands, the woman sprin kles it with water, daubs It against the side walls of the jar and then quickly replaces the cover. In n few minutes the cake Is nicely baked. The housewives, however, not being noted for their cleanly habits, it Is not con ducive to good appetite to watch their mode of procedure. They use for fuel "tc.ok," which corresponds to the "buffalo chips" of the Western plains, nud handle it nud tho dough at the Hiime time with Impartiality.

RAILROAD MAPS Cr AMERICA. !! llppnrlmont TOIters tfio Snpremnrj' of tho l ulled Mated It Marked. One marked effect of the progress )f American arms, the extension of Unerlenn supremacy lu other lands tnd the expansion of the foreign mar. ket for American goods has been a .noro general demand for maps of for ?lgu countries. Heretofore map mak ing for general nud not for technical 31' topographical requirements has been a feature of the publishing busi ness of tlie Vnited States, and lu cheap, accurate, portable, up-to-date nnd comprehensible railroad maps the Vnited States has long been nt the head of all countries. The process of railroad map making Is not so simple as might at llrst ap pear. The map maker takes a flat cop per plate and smokes tho face by con tact with the flame from a gas burner. Then he covers it with a composition of wax nnd gum. To make the compo s'tlon even over Its surface the plate Is heated and It Is then ready to re ceive n transfer of tlie draughtsman's work on tracing paper. The back of the paper Is covered lightly with chalk nnd this chalked surface is laid upon tho wax composition which covers the copper plate. Then the engraver with a steel pencil goes over the Unci of drawing. As the steel point moves over the paper the drawing Is copied on the composition. Thi! engraver then goes over the chalk lines, cutting out the wax com position, and tlie next feature of the work the marking upon It of the Humes of the cities ami stations ami the typographical symbols used In map making, such as a circle for tlie coun ty seat, n circle with n Maltese cross lu the centre for the State capllal, und nu asterisk for steamboat connect ions. These typographical marks nre mad;1 wlih ordinary type, which lit Into a hand stamp. The name of each place, in what ever form of type Is desired, Is stamped upon the soft surface of the conilMisltlon layer, and when there has been completed by tills process a ropy of the drawing, a copper electrotype of It Is made, from which the map is printed. There are fully ."IX railroad compa nies lu the Vnited States requiring maps of their line or system, as the case may be, for distribution. Some of these maps are for advertisements; some nre circulated for the conve nience of travelers and contain on one side time tables; some nre framed at railroad stations; others are sent to hotels; others are In demand by drum mers, shippers nnd freight agents, and still others nre sent abroad. Compared with the clumsy, expen sive, often misleading and always un satisfactory railroad maps of other countries, nnd especially those pub lished on the continent of Kurope, the supremacy of the Americau maps is uarked. An Ingenious Student. There Is a certain young "Jeff" stu dent who will be In his second year when the medical college opens this mouth who Is uotod among his fellows ns a mechanical genius ns well as a hard student. He Is not lu ntllucnt circumstances, and during the college term he turns his ' Ingenuity to good account In paying for Ids tultlou. Most of his studying Is done lu the early morning, but he confesses that he Is j natutjally averse to early rising. In common with the average run of inor- tills, he likes his warm, cozy bed on u cold winter morning. Toward the end of last term he put his wits to work and evolved au appliance which he will put into effect during the com ing term. From the ceiling Is sus pended a claw-like thing that Is gov erned by nn intricate piece of mechan ism which he closely guards. Tills is adjusted at night, before lie goes to bed, nud at a certain hour in the morning the ' machine goes off. it weight falls, and this lifts the bed clothes up to the celling. Once the coverings nre lu this position it is necessary to get up, and by that timo ono is wide enough awake to resist the temptation to readjust them.
