An ingenious cook keeps cracker boxes,
three inches by twelve inches in size, to
bake loaf cakes in. Of course, the quick
baking cakes are not indicated. but when
a cool or a slow oven is required the
boxes run no risk of burning, and the
parafine paper with which they are lined
prevents the cake from sticking. The
size and shape are exactly right for
slicing.

Captain and Mrs. Hardeman, with the Filipino commissioners, left Manila the
 latter part of April, on board the Siberia, one of the most magnificent floating pal aces that has ever crossed the Pacific. After touring Japan and China, the com mission sailed for America and are mak- ing an extensive tour of this country, being received every where with distin- guished honors. Few more interesting visitors have been in the country for years. The interviews with the more prominent Frilipinos in the party that have been published in the newspapers indicate that those once leaders under Agunaldo are men of marked ability. Many of them speak several languages and are entirely conversant with foreign affairs.
 The commissioners will visit the St. Louis exposition and August 12 has been designated as Filipino day.

Mrs. James Hardeman. formerly of B

Mrs. James Hardeman formerly of Bir- mingham, but who has been residing in the Philippines for several years, is the only American woman who accompanied the Filipino commissioners to this coun- try.
 When the commission decided on send- ing fifty prominent F'ilipinos to the states for the purpose of showing them the ex- tent and resources of this country, one of the two Americans appointed to ac- company them was Captain Hardeman. formerly of Birmingham, and now hold ing one of De most important government positions in the Philippines. Besides the honor of the appointment 1t gave an op- portunity for Captain Hardeman to spend several weeks in his own country, after . an absence of five years, and under cln cumstances that doubtless have seemed unusual in contrast to the conditions ex- istng when he went to the front.
 1t was natural for a woman who braved the discomforts of a transport and the dangers of actual worfare, to say noth- ing of the privations to be endured in the Philippines in order to be near her hus- band, to take advantage of the opportun- ity of returning to her native land. eyen if she must travel the length and brtdth of China and Japan before .sneaching America Then above every .fhing else that drew her to America wasffhe thought of seeing her little daugbs~f who had been sent back from the Philippines to be educated in this eoj<ntry

SOCIAL GOSSIP.

The recent announcement that Mr. James Holtzclaw Kirkpatrick of Mont eomery, son of Captain and Mrs. John Kirkpatrick, had won the Cecil Rhodes scholarship was of unusual interest in the state.
 The family has long been a noted one in Alabama in social. political and pro- fessonal life. Gen Holtzclaw was dis tinguished brigadier in the civil war, and, returning to Montgomery practiced his profession, the law successfully till his Geath. He was prominent in politics and socially popular. His wife was one of the most beloved women of her day, full of life and humor, and with a heart that responded to every call of affection, sympathy or charity. Devoted to her relatives and friends, her left hand never guessed the charities of her right. No death in Montgomery for a generation has been more widely and sincerenly mourned than hers which preceded her husbands by several years.
 She left two remarkably bright child ren, Miss Callie. Holtzclaw and MT James T. Holtzclaw, Jr The former married Captain Kirkpatrick and their children are holding the family record for bright ness and originality. Mrs. Kirkpatrick as Miss Calie Holtzclaw was perhaps as popular a belle as southern society has ever known. She numbered her friends by scores in other cities where she was an ever welcome visitor
 Miss Mary Kirkpatrick is as popular today as her mother was in hers. She is original. clever and fluent writer. having made a success of the society paper "Tattler."
 General Holtzclaw's son, who was his idol, was a remarkable young man. Af- ter graduating with high honors at the University of Alabama, he went to Cam bridge, where he graduated with marked distinction. Then he went abroad, and on returning was seized with pneumonia

 Just outside the beautiful city of Lex ington lies the home of Henry Clay, the home of the man of whom every Ken tuckian is proud, and whose name will go down In history as one of the men who helped to make our own United States the greatest country in the world.
 A stranger driving past this old home stead would stop his horse and gaze with admiration and delight upon the beau tiful lawns the stately trees and quaint old home and stables, even though he did not know that it was the home of place and do it justice is beyond the power of any man. The approach to the house leads the visitor first through a large gate above which is a massive arch of iron. then up a winding driveway through a long avenue of trees whose towering heights seem to indicate the greatness of the founder of the home which they so majestically and silently guard The driveway is of great width and is bordered on the right by the most beautiful lawn imaginable. It stretches over several acres and resembles a rich velvet carpet. The grass is of the blueish tint so famous in Kentucky and is thick and luxurant Each blade seems to be exactly of the same length and not the smallest speck of earth can be seen. The ground rolls in graceful curves while not a flower shrub or tree breaks in upon it's beauty.
 On the left of the driveway Is a mag nificent grove, just one mass of trees towering above it and shading it at all times Here and there beneath the trees are benches of wood and iron, quaint in design and inviting in appearance. Be- heath one large tree not far from the road which passes the home is the fa- yorite bench of Clay. It has been left undsturbed in It's old place by his chill dren and grandchildren. so that those who care to may see 1t. It is slowly decaying and in a few years will crumpie away entirely
 The old house stands in the center of this magnificent plot of ground Com- pared with the homes of our richest men of today 1t loses none of it's beauty of stateliness and although few changes have been made in it. it is house in which any man would be satisfied to spend his life
 To the right and some yards to the rear Is the old stable. Like the house only such repairs as were necessary to keep 1t in good condition have been made and 1t looks today. in it's vine bedecked beau- ty just as it did when the thoroughbreds of Clay occupied the stalls
 To the left of the homestead proper is a pasture containing many acres, upon which horses are to. be seen grazing. whose beauty it does not take the eyes of an expert to appreciate. Their small and shapely limbs, glossy coats and in teligent heads show quite plainly that in their veins flows the blood of thorough breds The thick grass in the pasture makes 1t almost equal in beauty to the

lawn. and were 1t not for the fact that horses are allowed to graze there no one would know that it is not a lawn.
 When Clay was alive his home could not have been more beautiful or better cared for than it is today The shady trees, the soft grass beneath the feet, the odor of clover in the air and the grandeur of the scene around you makes you forget for a time the worries and cares of life, your brain is filled with noble thoughts. your heart with content ment and good will to all mankind
 The visitor to Clay's home, while not intending to depreciate the greatness or detraet from the glory or one or the brainest men the world has ever known, is nevertheless confronted with the thought that such a home as this such an opportunity to commune with nature in her most beautiful form would awaken and develop to the fullest exeient all that Is good and pure in any man.
