MEMORIES OF MARK TWAIN. Two Lettora tha Humorist Wrote to Henry Wattarson. "Mark Twain—An Intimate Mem ory," Is the title of Henry Watterson’s article about bis cousin as It appears In the American Magazine. Mr. AVat terson recites the following Incident as being typical of Mark Twain’s whlm slcul point of rlew: "His mind turned ever to the droll. Once In London I was living with my family at 103 Mount street. Between 103 aud 102 there was the parochial workhouse—quite a long and Imposing building. One evening, upon coming in from an outing, I found a letter he had written on the sitting room table and left with bis card. He spoke of the shock he had received upon find ing that next to 102—presumably 103— was the workhouse. He had loved me. but hud always feared that I would end by disgracing the family—be ing hanged, or something—but the ‘work’us.’ that was beyond him; he had not thought it would come to that. And so on through pages of horseplay, his relief on ascertaining the truth and learning his mistake, his regret at not finding me at home, closing with a dinner Invitation. Once at Ge neva. In Switzerland. 1 received a long, overflowing letter, full of buoyant odd ities. written from London. Two or three hours later came a telegram: ‘Burn letter. Blot It from your mem ory. Susie Is dead.’ ” Susie was Mrs. Clemens. Free from Alcohol Since May, 1906, Ayer’s Sar saparilla has been entirely free from alcohol. If you are in poor health, weak, pale, nerv ous, ask your doctor about tak ing this non-alcoholic tonic and alterative. If he has a better medicine, take his. Get the best always. This is our advice.

When LI Hung Chang made his tour of the world his commissariat car ried with It a supply of Chinese pre served eggs for the venerable ambas sador’s special use. Some of these eggs were exhibited In New York while he was staying here, and a few experts had the temerity to sample them. “They were not so bad after all." was the verdict of one American connoisseur, “although by their looks you would think they would come un der the ban of the pure food law.” The eggs were Incased In clay and when unpacked looked like pieces of pumice stone. They are preserved In this way by the Chinese for a cen tury or more, and LI Hung Chang ad mitted that the hen which laid the eggs for his morning meal might have been decapitated anywhere from a quarter to half a century before he was born. The process of keeping Is very primitive, but as effective as It is simple. The eggs are first boiled hard, and then while they are hot they are wrapped In soft cloy and packed away. In this condition the Chinese claim they will keep forever and not lose their flavor or wbolesomeness. Indeed, they consider that age Improves the flavor. LI Hung Chang’s commissariat brought the eggs for his personal use In bags packed in rice busks, but as the clay was hard there was not much danger of breaking them. When opened the “white” was found to bo almost black and the yolks green. The flavor, however, was preserved. The Chinese chop these preserved boiled eggs and decorate most of their viands with them. They also enter largely into all their sauces. Duck eggs are also preserved by the Chinese In a somewhat similar fashion. There Is a considerable trade In duck eggs of the Peking and Muscovy breeds, and many Chinese in this coun try Import them from China In the preserved condition. The duck eggs are boiled and preserved In a paste of charcoal Instead of clay.—Harper’s Weekly. SEARCHLIGHTS. A Special Pattern Must Be Used on the Suez Canal. Every war vessel carries from one to twenty searchlights, and every vessel of any description whatever passing through the Suez canal has to carry one of a special pattern. A searchlight consists essentially of an arc lamp of special form, a para bolic mirror and a case to hold the lot, the case being mounted so as to be capable of movement in two direc tions—viz, vertically and horizontal ly. The hood, as this case is called, is made of sheet steel about 3.32 inch thick. The turnable, trunnions, etc., are cast In gun metal. The arms which support the hood are of cast steel. The lamp box Is form ed as part of the hood. The mir ror is carried on springs in the back cover, and at the front of the bood is a “front glass” mounted in a gun metal ring, and the dispersion lens when carried is hinged on in front of this. Training is carried out by means of a worm and worm wheel or by a rack and pinion. Slewing is effected by means of a pinion which gears into a crown wheel on the un derside of the turntable, or else it is doue directly by band. The Suez canal regulations require that the projector shall be capable of giving the light required under two different conditions—in the first case a broad, fiat beam of light illuminating both banks and the canal uninterrupt edly. this being used when no other ship is approaching; in the other case they require a beam having the same angle of divergence and consequently the same width as the first, but divid ed into two portions, with a dark in terval between, thus giving light at both sides, but not directly in front, and so not interfering with the navi gation of the approaching vessel.—J. M. Heslop in Cassier’s Magazine. A Fortune In Snuffboxes. Count Nesselrode, the Russian states man of the last century, was a famous collector of snuffboxes. He collected them as a diplomatist, receiving one or two for each treaty he signed, and when he had got $100,000 worth of them turned them into cash and be came a capitalist His capital he in vested so Judiciously that his descend ants are multimillionaires. The mor al of Coant Nesselrode’s experience is that a snuffbox is not to be sneezed at Teaching the Teacher. A village parish clerk who employed a grammarian to teach his daughter heard him with much surprise define the use of the articles “a.” '“an” and “the.” “You cannot place ‘a,’ thevslugular article, before plural nouus. No one can say, ‘A houses, a horses, a’"”— “Hold there!” said the parish - clerk. “I must contradict you in that Don’t I at church every Sunday say •Amen?’ ” —London Mail.
