HOW TORTILLAS' ARE MADE.A. Delicate Morael of Indian Food feooao

thine Like Sole Leather.I was recently looking through socaa-o- f

my old copies when I-- came across amorsel contributed by-

- Lady RebekahPhillips Dixon. In describing, some--'Indians in Arizona she spoke of them-makin- g

toiiillas, but could not de-scribe how they were made, as there-wa- s

an obstruction to her view. I havevery often watched the Indians pre-paring them.

They first get a large bread-pa- n (and"it doesn't particularly matter whether-i- t

is scrupulously clean or not), andicamp in a quantity of flour without,measuring it. and which, by the way,"has generally been done up in tbecorner of an old shawl, and hidden inthe brushy part of the wick-i-u- p, or-stow-

under the bed. From the cor-ner of the shawl she has on, or perhaps-th- e

hem of her skirt, the squaw ex-tracts a can from which she takes, also-witbo-nt

measurement, a bit of yeast.From still another portion of the sbawlshe gets a little salt and mixes thewhole together with water.

The dough thus made is divided intoballs, a trifle smaller than a biscuit,and laid out in a row until she resur-rects from a neighboring cactus, orfrom under a saddle, or. still more-likel- y,

out of bed, a very greasy fry-ing pan which, often without wash-

ing, is transferred to the fire to heaL.The squaw seats herself in front of it,,and taking one of the small lumps of:dough she very swiftly tosses it fromone palm to the other until it is verythin, when it is transferred to the fry-ing pan, where it remains until slight-ly browned, when it is tossed up verydexterously about two feet and comesdown again in the pan turned. When,it is done it is laid on the coals, where-i-t

completes its baking. The tortillas'are about a quarter of an inch thick,and to my taste about as near tcsole leather as anything not leather,can be. Harper's Round Table.
