Duudce Advertiser. ParloUnii' Hread. There is no city in the world whera so much breud is consumed as In TarIs. It is estimated that every inhabitant eats one pound a day on the average. Even in past centuries the French ?especially Parisians?had a horror of atale broad. And, as in those days people manufactured their own bread, they had a curious way of making It palatable. Strange as It may seem, the bread they prepared?huge round or aquuro slabs?was used as a dish on which the meat was carved and bore the name of 'tramhoirs," or tailloirs." The Juice of the meat having pene trated into the bread imparted a pleasant taste and prevented it from becoming dry. Illicit I'rlcctl Copy.
