Hoecakes and Their Origin.

The hoecake is the most common
form of corn bread found in the south.
1t was named by the southern slaves
in early slavery times. The women
slaves hoed cotton and rice by the task.
When Il task was begun in the morn
ing it was completed before going back
home. Sometimes they would get hun
cry; then the hoe was detached from
the helve, a fire started and hoecakc
was cooked then and there upon the
hoe. 1t was discovered by the plant
ers that meal cooked thus was palata-
BILE, and the hoecake was hencefOrth
made part and parcel Of a complete
plantation dinner.
For hoecake take one pint Of sifted
meal, One-half teaspoonful of salt; add
lard or fried meat grease and mix with
enough lukewarm water to form thin
paste. Spread on hot and greasy
griddle. Bake both sides brown. Serve
hot with vegetables, fish. bacon, pork,
etc.
For corn pone use the above formula,
but make the dough or paste thicker.
Make into loaves and bake, in hot
oven.-A. w. Brabham in New York

Shearina Sheep In Syria.

The manner Of shearing sheep in Syria
and all Asiatic Turkey does not differ
materially from the ancient methods Of
the people as applied to practically ev-
cry other vocation. While the sheep IN
dustry is one Of the oldest in the coun-
try, having existed for centuries in the
same pastures where the ancestors OF
the present herders also tended fiocks,
there does not appear to have been any
improvement in the manner Of shear
ing or breeding the sheep. Shearing Is
still accomplished III the crudest way,
the workers always leaving consider
able amount Of wool on the animal,
while the fleece removed is cut most
unevenly. The shearers frequently cut
great holes in the skins Of the sheep,
which by the use Of modern shearing
machines could easily be avoided.

MINTING OUR DIMES.
The Way the Silver Coins Are Made,
Counted and Packed

The Way the Silver Coins Are Made,
Counted and Packed.
The process Of dime making is an
interesting one The silver bullion is
lrst melted and run into two pound
bars. These in turn are run through
immense rollers and fattened out to
the thickness of the coin. These silver
strips are then passed through ma
chine, which cuts them into proper size
for the, presses, the strips first having
been treated with kind Of tallow to
prevent their being scratched In their
passage through the cutters.
The. silver pieces are then put INTO
the feeder of the printing presses and
are fed to the die by automatic mai
chinery at the rate of 100 per minute,
$4,000 dimes being turned out in 4
regular working day Of eight hours.
As the smooth pieces are pressed be-
tween the ponderous printing dies they
receive the lettered and figured i'm
preston in manner similar to that
Of paper pressed upon form Of
type. At the same time the piece is
expanded In slight degree, and the
small corrugations are cut into its rim
The machine drops the completed
coin into q receiver, and it is ready
for the counters hands. The iustru-
ment used by the counter is not Il
complicated machine by any means, as
one might suppose. 1t is simple cop
per colOred tray, having raised ridges,
running across its surface at dis
lance apart the exact width of dime.
From the receiver the money Is
dumped on the board or tray, and as
1t is shaken rapidly by the counter
the pieces settle down into the spaces
between the ridges. All these spaces
being filed, the surplus coin is brush
ed back into the receiver, and the
counter has exactly 1850 silver dimes,
or 1925, on his tray, which number is
required to fill the spaces. The tray
is then emptied into boxes, and the
money is ready for shipment.-St Louis

Hanging the Flag.

When a tag pole Is III a slanting or
horizontal position II the rope holding
the upper corner Of the flag Ike pulled
very tight and the rope holding the
lower corner be slackened somewhat,
thus allowing the flag to drop slightly
away from the pole, the wind will spill
out or it. This will do much to prevent
the flag from wrapping around the pole.
A little experimenting will show how
much to slack away the lower corner.
1t depends on the size Of the flag and
the angle Of the pole.-New York Sun.
