MARK TWAIN.
The April Fool Joke Played on
the Humorist. by George
w. Gable.

Mark Twain has revealed the fact
of an April fool joke OF large dimen-
sjons, OF which be was the victim.
George w. Cable, the novelist, vas
his guest few weeks ago, and no.
ticed Marks aversion to autograph
seekers. II was a topic of frequent
conversation With his host. This
was the basis of Cables joke. He
wrote and sert out nearly 200 circu-
lar letters to Marks literary and
other friends, suggesting that
they write him fer his autograph.
They readily fell INTO the ke, and
on Thursday his mail was sWelled
by over $50 letters, while the front
door bell was tesieged all day by
boys with telegraph messages.
Many of the letters are In the con-
vent.onal phraseology of autograph
hunters. Others are of great length,
and filed with business suggestions
or friendly correspondence, but in
evitably close with request for an
autograph. The manager of the
Madison Square Theatre asked one
for purposes Of dramatization. Sew
eral writers profess to be earnest adj
mirers of his books, but credit him
with. the authorship of works OF
other writers. Colonel John Hay
asks him to send, in his own chircg-
raphy, a few hundred lines OF

editor of the Century magazine
demands an autograph for lame
boy. Other letters are from FL enry

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
Facts Gathered from Various Writer
and Diffarant Sonrcas

Facts Gathered from Various Writers
and Different Sources.
There is less blood in cold-blooded
than in warm-blooded animals. The
larger the animal the greater is the
proportion of blood to the body. Man
has about a gallon and half of
blood, equal to one-thirteenth of his
weight.
Ten quarts of normal alcohol have
been made from six pounds of water
melon pulp. Free sulphuric acid was
added, the mixture was warmed and
the sugar was changed into glucose
and levulose. This product ferments
directly.
An engineer in Michigan has invent
ed an attachment to steam cylinders
which condenses the waste from the
steam cock on starting the engine. It
does away with the Kissing noise
which frightens horses and worries
men. The engineer has been offered
$47, 900 for the patent.
A possible clew to the sudden fatali-
ty produced by chloroform in some
cases, even when administered by the
most cautious experts, is furnished by
the just published experiments of M.
Dubois, of Paris, who finds that this
agent acts with extraordinary rapid
ty on criminals after the introduction
OF alcohol into the system. and termi-
mates in death with startling abrupt
ness.
A new roofing material is now man.
utactured from wood pulp, consisting
OF two-thirds spruce and one-third
poplar. The roofing is prepared by
the manufacturers under a patent of
their own, by which the greatest dur
ability is obtained Unlike metallic
roofs it is said not to contract, expand
nor corrode. 1t is also practically fire.
proof, and is adapted to locations
where smoke and gases are liable to
destroy metallic roofs. Being flexible
it can be used for ornamental work in
gables, panels and bay windows, and
also for valleys and Hastings.

can. Season it with pepper and spice,
and moisten it with clarified butter.
Put this into a mould, or earthen
bowl, and press it in very lightly.
Put it into the oven for half an hour.
Let it get perfectly cold. 1t can then
be cut into thin slices. 1t is nice if
used for filling for sandwiches.
Rose water is a peculiar flavor for a
sponge cake, but it is highly recon-
mended, especially if the cake Is to be
served with ices.
Wet the top of dish of mashed
potatoes with milk, and set it in the
oven to brown. Let it stay there
until there is brown crust over it.
CUCUMBER CATsUP Take fair
sized cucumbers, such as are sliced for
table use. Peel them and CRATE. To
two quarts of grated cucumber put
eight onions Clipped fine, two table
spoonfuls OF black pepper, three table
'spoonfals of salt, one teaSpoonful of
cayenne pepper, one pound of white
sugar, and bottle, ccrking and sealing
up tight. Cover with vinegar.
This receipt for ginger cake comes
from an English cock noted for the
excellence of her work: Put one
pound of butter into one pound of
flour; add half pound of tinely-pow-
dered sugar, the rind Of lemon graf
ed, two tablespoonfuls of ground GIN
GEE and one grated nutmeg. Mix
them together; then heat one gill OF
sweet milk, or warm it rather, stir
into it half teaspoonful of bi-carbon-
ate of soda. Roll out, cut in square
cakes and bake in moderate oven.
One of the novelties and luxuries OF
the period is banana cake. Take one
cup of butter, two cups of sugar, one
cup of water or sweet milk, three
eggs, four cups of flour, three small
teaspoons of baking powder. Mix
lightly and bake in layers. Make an
icing of the whites of two eggs, and
one cup and half of powdered sugar.
Spread this on the layers, and then
cover thickly and entirely with banana
sliced thin. The cake may he favored
with vanilla. The top should be
simply frosted.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
"Firing a Foreman. .

The composing room of THE
STATESMAN last evening was the
scene of one of those few pleasant
episodes that dot the path of the
printer. Mr.. e. B. Leachman, the re-
firing foreman, who goes to assume
charge of the mechanical department
of the Waco Examiner, under the
new management, on calling "lunch,"
was approached by the compositors
en- masse, who in a respectful yet
determined manner insisted on
presenting their departing "head"
with tokens of esteem in the
shape of two beautiful pieces of ew-
elry. The presentation speech was
neatly made and echoed the senti-
ments of "the boys" asl to the loss Of
one who has daily grown in their
esteem. Recovering his breath Mr.. l.
responded briefly and to the point, and,
the steady tramp. tramp down stairs
indicated that a popping of corks
would be the finale not only of a
period of authority that has been
marked by nothing but pleasant
"reminiscences, but also of one of the
heartiest expressions of affection and
good will to which composing room
has ever given birth.
