The Hoecake Is Fast Disappearing

The HoecaIxe Is Fast Disappearing
 From Southern Tables.
 Most middle-aged persons remember well when corn bread was served upon nearly all tables in the south and west at least twice a day. Sometimes It ap- peared in the form of "hoecake. or batter bread" and again in apones' It was par excellence the bread o1 t1e negro. and every man who served III the Confederate army was also IuIi graduate in the use of 1t. No" lu9 darkies eschew it where wheat bread Is to be obtained, and upon the tables or thousands of southern and western whites it never appears at all, |hi4e others continue to use it only for an her.
 Now, why is this? Surely corn meal is as 1t ever was. Those Wa9 sneefeiss but probably mistakenly, believe that "water-grounde meal is better than the product of mills turned by steam can always find a supply Of that tn most cities. and it is common enough iH the country. There Is 10 trouble about the meal; but we doubt whether the art oI cooking it has be5n preserved. The high-toned coI0red damsels who are turned out by onr public schools are not the adopts th.tt our old Aunt DI- nahs and Aunt PeEgys were. No selI- respecting pan of tough would be con= jared into shape by such unskIlled hands. And then we may seriously doubt whether cora bread can be cook ed in a stove as wtlI as in an open fire place
 The Indians laid their dougheakes between layers of forest leaves or upon the hard ground, and cooked them in the hot ashes. Henae ash cake. 3 very luscious product. indeed. when one has Whetted his appetite for 1t by long lays hunting. Tbe Boecake was SO called because it vas originally baked 1 upon a hoe-that eSer-ready and useful instrument of agriculture which is to be found upon evsry plantation. But later on cooking utensils were manu- faetured which took the place Of the humble hoe. So. too. shingles were used whereaDon to place the dough while it went through the process Of 1 becoming ] We1I-done ash cake.

When a person builds house in Manila he must decide first whether he prefers death and destruction by earth quake or typhoon. If he wants to die by the earthquake method he builds a masonry house, which tumbles down on him when the earth quakes. If he prefers death by typhoon, he builds a bamboo house, The eartheuake doesn't affect il, but the typhoon moves t over into Mindanao. As Manila gets both typhooas and earthquakes the choice is imperative.
