Twain's Dilemma. Mark Twain onco expressed a desire to attend the annual dinner of the Gridiron Club of correspondents in Washington; but when an invitation was sent him, hi.-* regrets were received by return mail. Meeting a member of the club later, he complained that he had been neglected. When informed that an invitation had been sent him end his regrets received, Mr. Clemens scratched his head, as though in per plexity for a moment, and then said: "Those were Isaac's rcgr o*s." "Who la Isaac?" "He's my keeper. lie's the man my wife hired to prevent 110 hav ing any more fun." Mark then ex plained that Isaac opened all his let tors and Invitations, wrote answers, which In the case of invitations always consisted of regrets, and then burned them. When asked what i 3 Isaac's other name, the humorist replied, sad ly: "I don't know. My wife hired him, and she told me what his name 13, but I have forgotten. I call him Isaac, as he is doomed to the fate that nearly befell the favorite son of Abraham. When I get well I Intend to cut him up In chunks and burn him 011 the altar, and I don't care if the angels holler till they get diphtheria." "Doesn't ho ever consult you about the answers to your Invitations?" "Never. lie always sends my regrets and says I'm sick, and that's going to got me into trouble. I told him so the other day. Said I: 'lsaac, when I die and go to heaven, St. Peter is likely to take lip some morning and remind me about those polite falsehoods you're tolling in my name, and then I'll have to look all over Tophet for you to prove an alibi/ " 111 China.

The na tives say that the magnetic attraction of the bed of the river is so strong that were ordinary boats used the Iron nails would bo pulled out.

Two Thousand Barrels of Flour Con sumed Kvery Week—llow Ma chinery is Used. THE largest soft bread bakery in tho world is located in Del fast, Ireland, while tho next (, most extensive plant is lo cated in Brooklyn, N. Y, What is meant by the term "soft" bread bak ery is that nothing but broad is baked on the premises. Crackers, sea bis cuits, pies, cakes and tho almost cud less variety of products of tho average bakeshops aro not made in this estab lishment. Bomo idea of the magnitude of this business, says tho Brooklyn Eagle, can bo had from tho statement that from its forty ovens the product of 200'J barrels of Hour is distributed each week iu this city, New York and the vicinity. This is at tho rate of 104,000 barrels per annum, aud signi fies tho baking of 56,000 loaves of bread per day, 302,0J0 loaves per week, 1,73G,000 per month and the enormous total of 20,410,000 loaves every year. Tho employes of this establishment, with tho exception of a few who kneed and bake the ryo broad output, are in cluded in tho great army of night workers, who toil while tho average citizen is resting from tho labors of tho day. To partially supply tho million of people who do not make their own bread, but who depend on tho baker lor the ntalf of life, over three hundred people are employed in the various departments. Tho first relay of workmen makes its appearance at 3 o'clock in the morning. These are tho men who set the sponge for tho following night's work. At 5.30 tho men who work ex clusively on rye bread come oil duty and remain until six in tho afternoon. These two gangs constitute tho entire day force. To these men is delegated the duty of gettiug everything in readiness for a largo force of bakers, who make their appearance at 6 p. in., when tho real work of tho establish ment may bo said to begin. Tho Hour, which will soon coiuo from tho ovens in various shapes, ho 3 been sifted iu tho storerooms overhead. Following this, it passes through the several aerating machines and is sent below, through several great chutes, which lead to various sections of tho bake shop floor in tho basement. Hero it is again put iu barrels, where it is loft to settlo aud cool uutil it reaches tho proper condition to bo ruu through tho mixing machines. The sponge, which has been set dur ing tho day, is distributed iu long, deep wooden troughs, situated in lo calities convenient to tho work benches. Its transfer to and from the mixers i 3 ono of tho most interesting details of tho entire bread making process. Every thrifty housewife knows the consistency of bread sponge, but can, with difficulty, real ize that it requires tho services of sev eral stalwart men and a large cart to carry tho spongo of ono baking from tho trough to tiio machines. This cart contains possibly livo liun lred pounds of solid, unwieldy bread dough, which is dumped into a revolving cylinder, tho iuterior of which has been treated precisely as tho housewifa treats lier shining paus when about to bake a batch of bread. WLeu the spongo is once in tho mixer, tho various ingre dients, including milk, water and salt, aro exactly and carefully added, and tho mass is allowed to stand for a few moments, when it is ready for the flour. Again would the average house wife bo astonished at tho manner in which tho Hour is added to the sponge. No scoop, dipper, pan nor pail would answer the requirements of this gigantic sponge. Strong men pick up an open barrel and toss the entire con tents into tho mixer. Barrel after bar rel follows in quick succession, until nearly 1200 pounds have beeu thus distributed. Tho machine is started aud thus begins tho first step in the kuendiug process. As the cylinder slowly revolves, tho kuendiug being assisted by iron arms which revolve iusido tho chamber in opposite direc tions. Ho that tho mixing may be more thoroughly and quickly done, tho head baker stands by to stop tho machine. As soon as t'uo dough has reached a consistency in which it can l:o taken out in great masses of from eighty to 100 pounds, it is again leaded into tho cart and taken back to the troughs to raise. A very interesting feature is the actual kneading of tho various shaped loaveH, their transfer to tho ovens in a raw state, and their exit therefrom, brown, plump and giving out a pun gent aud pie isant aroma. When tho dough has "raised" suf ficiently tho busy time iu bread mak ing is at hand. At each work bench is stationed a man who weighs the dough which makes up each loaf. The scales aro uuerriug* and tho loaves consequently never vary in size. Each kind of bread has a separato scale, aud a separate crowd of bakers, who have become so proficient that where eight or ten are working at ono bench it is impossible to distinguish ono loaf from another, either before or after leaving tho oven. The dougli having reached ovau proof the hand kneading and rolling process begins. Practiced hands beat it aud roll it, pitying what may bo likened unto a arum chorus, as they rapidly prepare it for tho oven. Much of tho bread is baked in paus, vot there aro several of tho popular shaped and higher priced varieties which aro baked on the oven bottom. There is practically no was to iu tho manufacture of bread. Tho sweepings which acoumulato on tho store hou-c floor and iu tho bakoshop aro sold to iron molders, who utilize them in dusting in tho process of casting. Paste makers nro also ready purchas era of this refuse, and no inconsider able portion is disposed of to farmers who feed it to their hogs. It is in tli€ bread that tho company takes back from its customers that a frightful aud unnecessary waste occurs. Des pite tho established truth that stale bread is most healthful and nutri tious, notwithstanding tho opiniou of tho best medical authorities and the results of scientific demonstration that bread should not bo eaten until it be comes dry, tho American popple de mand that it bo fresh and will have uono other, and so this bread is sold to Italians at about one-fifth of its actual cost. WISE WORDS. Poets write few poems to thcii wives. Children need rnusclo more thau money. Beauty may palliate poverty, but if can't pay house rent. Women may change their minds of ten, but not their hearts. A sermon should be as short a3 tho way is narrow it preaches of. Women aro sweet, but not sweef enough to preserve secrets iu. It is easier for a mu to bo just be fore he is generous, thau a woman. If a man buys on credit, he docs not know when he is living within his means. Matrimony which makes the woman a plaything and tho mau a paymaster is wrong. After a man has been kind several times, it is regarded as a part of his plain duty. There is one thing every man can give without decreasing his own stock —happiness. It is unjust and tueau, but natural, for the weak to hato the strong and despise the great. The first thing a girl does when another girl calls on her is to ask to put oil her new list. A man in a position higher than his capacity suggests a cripple contesting with tho fleet of foot. Thoughts in the fewest words are generally more forcible than if dressed in elaborate rhetoric. A man should give Lis best moments i to himself; for a cultivated self is youi best gift to your fellowinen. Possessing real estate should raako a man a better citizen, ownership in creasing interest in public affairs. Tho world means to move ; make it move wrongly, there is notoriety; make it move rightly, there is celeb rity. Never under any circumstances in terrupt a mau who is telling of his complaints; not even if his house is on fire. Many a man is woll-to-do simply because ho is too well to be ilono by the enterprising projector of specious projects. Pen allies of Ignorance. In order to realize the dangers tc health which may arise from neglect of our larders, wo cannot do better than give some consideration to the local government's reports on fool poisoning. Therein may bo found every detail, from the deadly feast to tho subsequent iuqoiry. The repetition of cases is truly bewilder ing. There is tho " Wholesale Poisou iug of a Family," "Poisoning of a Wedding Party," tho sausage case, the brawn case, tho pork pie case, poison ing by sardines, tinned meats, etc. In these cases the poison has not beeu placed in tho food by any liiurdeious hand; but, manufactured iu the damp and dim recesses of the cellar, or larder, or iu badly closed tins, it finds its own way to the food with ail the subtlety of an invisible agent, acting in simple obedience to a natural law. To take one of tho many cases: A family who bad hot log of pork for dinner one Sunday were well on tho following day. On that Monday one or two members of the famiiv ate the cold pork for dinner again, au I were attacked with illness from seven to nineteen hours later. Now, in tho eveuing of the same day, two othor persous partook of the pork au I de veloped symptoms of poisoning after an interval of only four hours. The poisou at tho end of the day hid be come more intense as tho (lay wore, j consequently the supper proved fatal, and those two persons died. Tho his- J tory of tho pig was traced au I it was proved that tho animal was healthy, and that no one else had suff'jred j from eating tho other pirts of tho same pig. On the othor hau l, the cellar where the cold pork was kept was found to bo unlit for the healthy preservation of meat, and it was ob served that milk went quickly sotu and wou'd not keep in tffj cellar.— Nineteenth Century. A Floral Detective o! Long Ago. In early times tho Dutch farmers ol the up-river farms of Now York had au ingenious way of recovering pock et-kuives that might liavo been dropped or mislaid while plowing or gardening was going oil. Cutlery was not us cheap tlieu and abundant as in these days; so the farmers took tho thrifty precaution of keeping two or three sunflower seeds iu their knife handles. Then if tho knives fell upon broken ground aud could not bo readily found, tho owners would wait until tho seeds sprouted, and an iso lated sunflower stalk or blossom iu field or patch would sigualizo the pos sibility ot a missing article's being at its root. True, tho owner did not always realize tho result of tho scheme, be cause a pavsiug boy who understood the token often "got there" before the planter.—New York Tribune. s§l!i Brctelles are again popular, mado of tho dress material or a different trim ming.

One sees a great many military officers In Moscow, and their want of smartness Is noticeable. They nre alwnva to be seen lounging about the boulevards with their hands in the pockets of their gray overcoats. These boulevard warriors do not appear very formidable. The Cossacks are dirty looking ruffians, badly dressed, and mounted on small horses, which are said to be excellent animals, gifted with wonderful staying power. I was told by an officer that tho Cossacks have degenerated very much, and have been spoiled by being turned into regu lars. Tlio Cossacks of the Don, especial ly, have deteriorated, but those of the Caucasian regions are line soldiers. Ono of the worst characteristics of tho Russians Is their dishonesty in trade. In Moscow, even in many of the best shops, ono has to bargain for pur chases, as a much higher price than Is expected Is always asked. In this way foreigners ill Moscow no doubt fre quently pay three or four times the proper price for articles. In the same way one has to bargain for everything, and this constitutes one of the most disagreeable things connected with lifo in Russia. That the Russians are a dirty people Is well known; very few houses have even a footbath In them, and though there are fine public baths the Rus sians, oven of the upper circles, seldom make use of them.
