} ORIGIN OF THE HOE CAKE
Southern Negroes Credited With HaV-
ing Started This DeIicacy on
Its Way to Popularity.

Did you ever hear of hoe cake? If
you have ever been in the southern
part Of the United States of America
you have surely heard 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 plantations
flourished in the South and many ne
groes were owned by the planters, the
slaves were usually sent out to work
all day in the fields and given lunch
day meal. Wishing something hot to
eat, they acquired the habit of mix
ing a batter, generally of cOrnmeal
and water, with little salt stirred
in, and baking it upon their hoes on
the hot Goals of a fire which they
built. 1t was the same thing which
the women in their homes cooked on
the hearth before the cabin fire, only,
In the houses, they usually added
about a teaspoonful of butter, lard
or bacon drippings. 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.
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 acknowledged pieces and baked
it in the Oven.-Christian Science
Monitor.

FOR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS
List of Requisites Which
Men in Commercial Occupations
Should Have at Command.

In a recent issue American Mag
azine draws up an interesting list
of requisites for. various commercial
occupations. For instance, it states
that the head of a department should
possess the following: Keen sense Of
Justice, sympathy, tactfulness, cour-
tesy, teachableness and knowledge Of
human nature. The bookkeeper needs
most: Accuracy, speed, perseverance,
concentration and mathematical ability
figures. To be successful in going
after new business, the trade solicit
tor should have: Tact, courtesy,
verbal expression, personality, Opti-
mism, self-confdence and knowledge
of human nature. An auditor is in
danger Of proving misft. and fail
ure unless he possesses in marked de-
gree: Love of details, perseverance,
patience, judgment, elaboration, calm
ness, accuracy and analytical ability.

WHEN JIM CLAIMED ANNIE
Maid Was Sorry to Leave, but, as She
Put 1t, 1t Was a Matter
Of Duty.

Ellis Parker Butler, the well-known
humorist, has story in the American
Magazine in which the main character
says:
"'Well, Jimmy had 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
ming when Jimmy came over and
knocked at the back door and asked
mother if Miss Dornbacher was home.
She wasn't, because she had gone to
the Evangelical Lutheran church, but
after that Jimmy used to come over,
and Annie would put two chairs out in
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 while Annie would
say, eyes," 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 couple
of years more they got engaged. I
guess they liked each other.
"T was in our dining room one day,
looking to see if Annie had put any
fresh cookies in the jar in the closet,
when I heard my mother say, "Oh,
Anniel" in the kitchen, as if she was
sorry about something. So then Annie
said:
"T bin sorry to go away, too, ma'am,
but it is right everybody should get
married once or twice.
"T know my mother said; but I
don't know what I will ever do With
out you, ANNIE
$50 then Annie cried, and there
were no cookies, so I went OUT"

Facts Concerning Red Cross.

In 1864 an international conference
Of II nations was held in Geneva,
Switzerland, the outcome Of which was
the Treaty of Geneva, known as the
Red Cross treaty. This treaty provid-
ed that hospital formations and their
personnel should be treated as neu-
trails; that each nation signing the
treaty should have an association of
volunteers to assist and supplement
the medical service Of it's army; that
the emblem of service common to all
nations should be a red cross on
field of white. This emblem, which
Is the Swiss flag with the colors re-
versed, was adopted in recognition Of
the fact that the Red Cross was found
ed at Geneva, Switzerland.

Euos One Hundred Years Old.

A strange find was made at North
allerton, Eng, recently. While work.
men were saving through large elm
tree they came across in the very heart
of the tree five dried-up starting eggs.
The eggs were IS inches from the ex-
ternal bark, and from the concentric
ring it is estimated that they must
have been deposited about one hum
dred years ago. 1t is surmised that
when the tree was young pair Of
birds had made their nest in cavity,
and for some reason the eggs were
forsaken, and in course of time the
wood grew around the hollow.

What Makes Thunder Rumble.

Why does thunder rumble? The
path of lightning flash through the air
may be several miles in length. All
along this path the sudden expansion
of the heated air-a true explosion
sets up an 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.
It's speed is approximately 1000 feet
per second. Thus the sound from the
part Of the lightning's path that is
nearest to us reaches us first, and that
from the other parts of the path after
ward, according to their distance. In
termittent crashes and booming effects
are due chiefly to irregularities in the
shape of the path.-Popular Science
Monthly.

Muscular Greek Porters.

AS pOrters and labOrers, the Greeks
of Salonica are unrivaled. You espy
a grand piano or gigantic wardrobe,
apparently promenading the streets for
its own pleasure, and a search reveals
a small Greek of no particular phys
ique supporting it without apparent
effort. There seems no limit to the
burdens they can shoulder. During a
fire, two men were seen go up steep
stairs carrying huge safe that would
have needed cranes and pulleys in any
other country. They are very useful
for road making and on the quays, re-
ceiving a fixed rate of 81 day.

GERMANS AT ONE POINT WERE DRIVEN BACK A DISTANCE OF
 THREE MILES-STllL GOING.
FIGHTING WAS FURIOUS
Thousands of Prisoners Have Bec1 Captured, the Roads to the British Rear Are Literally damned
 With Them.

With the British Army in France-- The British haze pierced the Dfo- court-Queant line In a fierce battle. which has been raging since dawn and which will probably prove to be one of Che most Important of the war, Canadian and English troops at last reports, had at one point driven n about five kilometers, or a little nof9 than three miles, and were still going.
 The fighting was as furious as any since the war began and incrrasei in intensitY4as the British battlei their way forward, meeting the ever growing resistance of the enemy who had put in every available man aud was rushing up reserves at the rear.
 Thousands of prisoners have been captured; the roads to the British rear are literally jaInmed with them. There has been fierce fighting in Dury, which was taken by the British and Mount Dury, which the Germans held in great strength, was stormed. The British went on after killing enor- nous numbers of the enemy. :he Germans died fighting here as else where.
 Cognicourt wood and Cagnicourt have been captured, and Bois de Bouche, to the southeast, is reported also to have been occupied.
 There has been heavy fighting in Buissy, northeast of Queant, where large numbers of prisoners have been captured, and some progress has been made against the northern end of the Queant-Drocourt line for some dis tance.
 All during the night there was very heavy fighting around the British pc sitions. which were almost jammad up against the great German defense system Piles of dead Germans wes one of the results. During one enemy attack a sergeant with machine gun killed 60 Germans who tried to rush him.
 It was soon after o'clock in the morning that the massed British can
  heard for miles in crash barrage. The whole sky seemed ablaze as thon- sands of British shells poured into the German wire and lines.
 When the barrage raised the Cana dans and English swarmed over the top. Just behind them were numer- ous tanks of all sizes. They had been over only minute when the enemy opened with counter barrage, which is said to have been by far the strong est he has put down since the Brit ish offensive began.
 The instant the British appeared the Germans in many cases jumped out of the trenches and held their hands high above their heads. In some cases, however, the advancing British met with hail of machine gun bullets, but in spite of this, they pushed on. Quickly the first line Was overcome.
