Small Cakes for Parties.

From the New York Evening Post.
For most festive occasions there
is greater liking for variety Of
misunderstanding little cakes than
for large loaves. Little forms of
many shapes are used for them,
and they are more easily handled
and not so apt to be wasted as a
cake cut into slices. MacarOOns
are among the small cakes that
every one likes the best, and when
fresh and creamy are delicious,
but they cost soc pound. If one
choose to fuss with them they may
be made at home for much less.
The process is simplified if the al
mond paste is bought ready for
use. All you need to do in that
case is to mix half pound of the
paste gradually, adding alternately
the whites of two eggs and three
quarters of pound of powdered
sugar. When the batter is smooth
and creamy flavor to taste with
bitter almond essence and drop in
small round heads on white paper
busted with flour or rubbed with
sweet butter. The macarOons
should be baked in slow oven for
ten or twelve minutes. When TAX
en- from the oven they shonld be
a delicate brown. 1t is best to test
the oven before putting a quantity
of the cakes into it. If you prefer
to make the almond paste yourself,
pour boiling water over half a
pound of the nut kernals, and as
quickly as the skins are loosened
put them into cold water for a
to harden. then pound the nuts in
mortar with the whites of the
eggs. And the sugar and mix I'M
til light.
Nearly all of the light white or
yellow mixtures used for loaves of
cakes may be baked in little drop
cakes and iced with icings of va
rious colors and fiavors. The rem
nants of loaves of cake that are of
rather close grain may be cut into
small squares or other shapes and
iced in the same way. Or they
may be cut in layers, put together
with raspberry jelly, and then cut
into little cakes, covered with icing
favored with raspberry syrup,
Raspberry tiavors are very delicate
for cakes, and the housewife does
well to put away good supply of
the red berries in the form of
syrups, jellies, preserves and juice
for use in choice cakes and pud-
dings. The French call these
mouthfuls of cake "bouchees."

DESTINY.
A PARODY.

Destiny, the enthroned goddess
of mystery, has marked out for
each and all of us course that
men call life.
Lured onward by this fateful
siren, we bid the cradles side
adieu and venture forth upon life's
tempest-ridden sea, where Turk
in every billow the dragons Hope
and Fear; and drifting on from
port to port, impelled by unseen
hands, we near at last, with droop-
ing form and age-dimmed eyes,
Deaths dark, unfeeling shore, that
dismal spot which once must mark
the wreck of each and all.

Editor San Antonio LIGHT.
Dear Sir: l saw in your last
issue where you stated concerning
the divorce case of E. a. Houck
and wife, Houck being a white
man and wife being a negro. E. A.
Houck is not a white man for the
simple fact he is my father and
most everybody knows him as
being a cOlored man and | am my
self of the same nationality. You
will please correct this statement
which you have so literally placed
, before the public. l don't claim to
be a white man, and everybody
knows me in the community in
which | live, it matters not what
my father claims to be, Pm man
of color, and such publication has
la tendency to throw a reflection
Fupon me among my people, how
ever / do not think it disgrace to
lbe called white. l love my race
land wish to respect them and my
|lself likewise. The negro race is
honorable and as much so as any
Llother; and consequently | see no
occasion for deserving; so please
Flavor me by correcting this mis-
Etake made by your reporter or
ISOme one else.
Respectfully yours,
REV. HOUCK.

NOT so HARD As II SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appsll
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that ii is not the great,
complex, aud expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
OF his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastuing a bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is amiracle of ngeuuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in

The Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle frictions OF life. Usually
such IDEAS are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclsims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
a way"
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF" grumbles the cook. "He
never h I'D TO work over a stove or he would
nave known how it ought to have been fixed !"
Hang such collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
sill lip out, or break Off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing elsa. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical sha ape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves asln-
dependeutly wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.
