, ORIGIN OF THE HOE CAKE
Southern Negroes Credited With Hav
ing Started This Delicacy on
Its Way to Popularity.
Did you ever hear of boe cake? If
you have ever been in the southern
| part of the United -States of America
you have surely beard of it, and per
‘ haps you have eaten it, too, for this
! dish originated in that part of the
| world.
Long ago, in the days before the
Civil war, when great plantation*
flourished in the South and many ne
groes were owned by the planters, the
I slaves were usually sent out to work
all day in the held* and given a luuck
I to take along with them for their iniiP
day meal. Wishing something hot to
eat, they acquired the habit of mix
ing a butter, generally of conuneal
i and water, with a little salt stirred
' in, and baking it upon their hoes on
the hot coals of a fire which they
built. It was the same thing which
the women in their homes cooked on
I the hearth before the cabin fire, only.
! in the house*, they usually added
| about a tea*i>oouful of butter, lard
i or bacon dripping*. They used Just
| enough water to moisten the meal, so
! that they could spread it out upon
| their tins or boards.
Later on. so a Southern woman
says, the white people, the plantation
owners, made a similar dish, with
variations, and liked it very well,
i They added or. rather, substituted,
milk for water, and added baking pow
der and more shortening, mixed the
dough thoroughly, rolled it out. cut it
into diamond-shaped pieces and linked
| it in the oven.—Christian Science
Monitor.
WHEN JIM CLAIMED ANNIE
Maid Wat Sorry to Leave, but, aa She
Put It, It Was a Matter
of Duty.
Ellis Parker Butler, the well-known
humorist, has a story in the American
Magazine In which the main character
says:
“‘Well, Jimmy bad been with the
Burtons six years and Annie, our
hired girl, had been with us five years.
I guess everybody thought she hadn't
any other name at all until one eve
ning when Jimmy came over and
knocked at the back door and asked
mother if Miss Dorubacher was borne.
She wasn't, because she had gone to
the Evangelical Lutheran church, but
after that Jimmy used to come over,
und Annie would put two chairs out in
I the yard under the apple tree and they
would sit and talk. Or Jimmy would
talk. He would talk and talk and talk,
and every once in a while Annie would
! say, ‘ Yes,’’ and, after she learned It,
! “No.” So, after a couple of years,
Jimmy began to hold Annie’s hand
; when he talked to her, and in a couple
of years more they got engaged. I
guess they liked ea< h other.
“ ‘I wag in our dining room one day,
looking to see if Annie bud put any
fresh cookies In the Jar In the closet,
I when X heard my mother say, “Ob,
{ Annie!” in the kitchen, as If she was
I sorry about something. So then Annie
| said:
“ ‘I bin sorry to go avay, too, ma’am,
but it is right everybody should get
married once or twice.’
“‘I know,’ my mother said; ‘but X
don't know what I will ever do with
out you, Annie.'
“ ‘So then Annie cried, and there
were no cookies, so I went ouL'"
What Makes Thunder Rumble.
Why does thunder rumble? The
I path of a lightning flush through the air
j may be several miles in length. All
! along this path the sudden expansion
of the heated air—a true explosion—
sets up on atmospheric wave, which
spreads in all directions, and eventual
ly registers upon our ears as thunder.
Since the lightning discharge Is almost
Instantaneous the sound wave Is pro
duced at very nearly the same time
along the whole path. But the sound
wave travels slowly through the air.
i Its speed is approximately 1,01)0 feet
per second. Thus the sound from the
part of the lightning’s path that is
nearest to us reaches us first, anil that
from the other parts of the path after
ward, according to their distance. In
termittent crushes and booming effects
are due chiefly to irregularities in the
shape of the path.—Popular Science
Monthly.

Eggs One Hundred Years Old.
A strange find was made at North
allerton, Kng., recently. While work
men were sawing through a large elm
! tree they came across In the very heart
of the tree five dried-up starling eggs.
The eggs were 18 inches from the ex
ternal bark, and from the concentric
ring It is estimated that they must
I have been deposited about one hun
dred years ago. It Is surmised that
when the tree was young a pair of
birds had made their nest In a cavity,
and for some reason the eggs were
forsaken, and In course of time the
wood grew around the hollow.
-•—
Frogs and Their Eggo.
In the manner of disposing of their
eggs many species 01 frogs exhibit re
markable peculiarities. One of the
most curious, a tree frog, native of
Paraguay, makea Its nest In a bush
overhanging a pond. The lower ends
of a number of leaves arc drawn to
gether and fixed In that position by a
number of empty egg-capsules. The
eggs are also covered with n shield of
empty capsules, to protect ihein from
the sun and air. When the eggs
are hatched the ping at the bottom ap
pears to fall out and the tadpoles tum
ble Into the water.

Iii spite of a subnormal food supply
In this country the American people
have been able to ship to the Allies
as well as our o*n forces overseas
141.lXNi.fH*) bushels of wheat, besides
S4l.iVHi.fHHi [m.mills of meat, during the
year ending June 30 lost. This haa
been made possible by the whole
souled co-operation of the people,
who, besides practicing self-denial,
have speeded up production and re
sponded nobly to the appeal from
abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a
letter to President Wilson, gives a
brief summary of the results of food
conservation In the United States and
of the activities of the Food Admin
istration to tills end. The conserva
tion measures have been put through
practically on a voluntary basis which
la regarded aa a splendid tribute to
the patriotism of the American people.
Meat shipments were Increased H44.
000,<XH) pounds during the first fiscal
year, as <r>mpared with our meat ex
ports during the year before America
entered the war.
‘The total value of these food ship
ments," Mr. Hoover wrote President
Wilson, "which were In the main pur
chased through or with collaboration
of the Food Administration, amount
to, roundly. $1.400,fMX),<XXJ during the
fiscal year."
In 1910-17 the United States sent
the Allies 2,106.500.000 pounds of
j meat. In 1917-18, with voluntary con
servation practiced In America, and
aided by extra weight of animals, we
sent the Allies 2,011,100.000 pounds of
meat, an increase of 8ft.6fX).iHjO
pounds.
Wheat Saving Enormous
When tin- Food Administration be
j gan operations In the summer of 1917,
this country was facing a large deficit
in wheat. Counting in all carry-over
wheat from the 1910 crop, we had al
the beginning of tin- 1917 luarvesi year
Jusl enough wheal to lake rare of
America's normal eonsuiapiien. not a
j buslici of surplus.
At the close of ilie 11*17 18 harvest
year the Food Administration's official
I reports showed ihut our total wheat
; shipments to ilie other side had been
j 141.IXXJ.fXXJ bushels Every bushel
i shipped was wheal saved by Ilie
Anierienn people from their normal
consumpl ion
III cereals and cereal produets re
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
340.8fXJ.fXX) bushels, SO.DOO.fXNJ bushel*
more than the amount sent In 1916-17.
Included In these figures are 13.1XX).
000 bushels of rye end the 141,fXXJ.00C
j bushels of saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on US
10.IXXJ.fHH) bushels of prime breads tuffs.
‘These figures do not fully convey
the volume of the effort and sacrifice
made during the past year by the
whole American people," the Pood Ad
ministrator wrote. "I am sure that
all the millions of our people, agricul
tural as well us urbun. who have con
tributed to these results should feel
a very definite satisfaction that In a
year of universal food shortages in
the Northern Hemisphere, all of those
people Joined together against Ger
many came through to the new har
vest. not only with health and strength
fully maintained, hut with only tem
porary periods of hardship.
"It Is difficult to distinguish be
tween various sections of our people—
the homes, public eating places, food
truoe, urban or agricultural popula
tions—In assessing credit for lliese
results, but no one will deny the dom
inant purt of the American women.
