PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing,
The Winner hai a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Lotert Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would yon like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applicationa for Inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There is plenty
of Inventive tallent at large in this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That eucouragemeut the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The Idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he must devote years to delving In
complicated mechanical problems snd that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a wear comprehension
of the fact that It is not the great, complex, and
expensive Inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, aud
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of -bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
trom the patents on all his marvelous Inven
ions have not been sufficient to pay tne cost
of his experiments. But the man who con
nived the Idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewlng-ma"
chine Is a miracle of ingenuity 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
stead of at the other end.
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, atone time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make Its car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
without breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known ho- It ougtit to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button I" growls a man
who is late for breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venient opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons into
practical shape, aud then apply for patents
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
he fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce the people to keen track of their
bright ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
irize.
To tbe person whs uubmits to it
Ihe implesit aud most promising:
invention, from a commercial
point of view, tbe company will
give twenty. five hundred dollars
ill cash, in addition to refunding
the fees for securing; a patent.
It will also advertise the inven
tion free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condi
tions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent for
his Invention through the company. He must
rirstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. 8hould this
seach show his Invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and take out a patent In the regu
lar way. The total expense, Including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting of
three reputable patent attorneys of Washing
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with their
application:
"I submit the within described invention In
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prise offered by the Press Claims Company."
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETION.
This is a competition of rather an unusol na
ture. It is common to offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one merely selling his for the
amoun or the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer Is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self, and th. one who helps him self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing (it.
The prize is only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on a certain corner Is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
1. He use to him. But thepcrson who patents a
simple and useful device In the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry If he
fall to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show for his work one that wll
command its value In the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article in his dally
work ought to know better now to Improve it
than the mechanical expert who studies It
only from the theoretical point of view, (let

rid of the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simplerth
better. The person who best succeeds in
combining simplicity and popularity, will get
the Press Claims Company's tweuty-fivo hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of tbe leading newspapers
of the united States.

THE FLOWERING BROOM.
A Rare and Itrautilul I'lnnt Growing In
Miidelm.
The plant known under this name,
Genista virgatn, at Kew, is one of the
larjrost and finest members of the entire
genus, says the London Field, and
should be made ii note of by anyone
anxious to sele ' the best of our hardy
flowering shrub. It, forms a freely,
branehed bush of rounded outline that
reaches a lieijrhi i ten feet or more,
and about the rT.d of June it is so thick
ly laden with its :Lien blossoms as to
present quite, a puas of tlmt hue, which,
especially at that season, is particularly
attractive, ior l!io:i(?!i the bulk of our
hardy )frumiik:u produce yellow blos
soms, most of them are over before this
species commences to unfold its flow
ers. Though it has been sueh a conspicu
ous feature during eae.li reeurrinpr sea
son at Kew for many years, it. appears
to be but little known, r.nd may be
sought, for in vain in the rntnlognos of
many of our nurserymen, at least under
the speeiiie name of virgata. There is
certainly a pt! deal of confusion with
regard to its correct nonu nela'aire, for
the Genista viratu of tin "Dictionary
of Gartlfiunr" Is dewribed as a native
of Madeira, atlaininf? a hcijrht of three
to four feet, ami i'lowerinjr in March, so
that it is presapialily a greenhouse
plant: while 1 y London G. virgnta is
given us synonymous with (1. uphylla,
an inhabitant of the Siberian deserts,
of about the : ;:ir,e height as the pre
ceding, but with violet ilowers. The
Kew plant is certainly neither of these;
indeed, it was there for a long time
grown under the name of G. elata, but
within the last few years this has been
uperseded by the name it now bears.

Only a Few Genuine Sandwich
Islanders Remaining.
A Merry Raee Wnose Danee. Are Cali
bratedThe Chinese and Kanaka. Pop

ing Prosperous.
One of the saddest spectacles in
Hawaii is the rapid decay of the native
race. Disease and death have made
heavy inroads among them. More even
than the Samoans and Tahitians they
seem to absorb all the vices of the
white race. They are pleasure-loving,
indolent, good-natured and honest, but
virtue among them is practically un
known. It is still the custom to give
a guest the companionship of the wife
or the most attractive daughter; in fact,
the question of morality does not bother
the native Hawaiian, and he frankly
admits it. The Chinese have introduced
the vice of opium smoking, and they
also bring in large quantities of rice
brandy, which the native Hawaiian
loves next to "old square fuse," as they
call gin.
The Hawaiian families are steadily
decreasing in size and every census seef
a shrinkage in the already small num
ber of this doomed race. The census oi
1884 gave 44,232 Hawaiians and half
castes, that of 1890 38,054, a loss of 5,57
in six years. The Chinese now numbej
15,299, the Japanese 12,244 and the Port
uguese 9,100. Of this large number ol
Chinese only about 200 are women
Hence we find John Chinaman selecting
wives from the native girls, who an
only too glad to marry Chinese, because
they are better treated than by men oi
their own raee. They are indulgent
husbands and they love to see theii
women finely dressed, but when thej
return to China there is no record o'
any Chinaman taking his Hawaiian wife
The women are left behind and seldort
is any provision made for the suppor"
of themselves and their children. Thi
Japanese mix little with the Hawaiians
One peculiar thing which is worthy
the attention of the student of ethnol
ogy is that the crossing of the Chines
and Hawaiians make a better race,
physically and mentally, than either o)
the originals. Some of the brightest
young men in Hawaii have Chinest
fathers and Kunaka mothers. These
half-castes are remarkably shrewd in
business, while they have the agreeablt
manners of the Hawaiians. The Portu
guese are thrifty, but they are a pooi
race. They are now flocking over tc
California, and are going into the fruit
and vineyard districts, where theii
labor will certainly be better than thai
of the Chinese, for they are eager tc
buy homes and settle. Civilized vicet
and diseases and the leprosy threaten!
to wipe out the native Hawaiians in th
next thirty years. They are disappear
Ing more rapidly than the Maoris, oi
New Zealand, and for the same reason
The Hawaiians, even in their de
cadence, are a merry raee and theii
dances are celebrated. The hula-hulp
is probably the most perfect of tht
South Sea island native dances in honoi
of the goddess of love. It is a laseivioui
dance which so greatly excites the na
tives that it has been prohibited and it
only given now by stealth, but the, peo
ple are so fond of it that professiona
hula dancers are in great demand ant
no feast is complete without this ok
dance, that recalls in many of its fea
tures the dances of uneient Egypt am
Greece.
NOBLEMEN IN SWITZERLAND.

A few years ago tin: question wai
asked: "Does nobility siill e::ist ii
Switzerland?" And no one was able ti

not one, it would seem, had inquire!
whether Rudolph von I'.rhu li, uhosi

ever heard of the lieniese nobility--!
noblesse which hoi, Is itself so higi
that it thinks but slightly of tin
British legation. Vet from t!ie Jura U
the Lugane there is hardly u canton
there is perhaps no canton in which
according to Temple liar, noble fani'die:
are not to be found. Some of these
such as the l'lantas and the liuols o
Graubunden, have turned tl.'cir energj
Into modern channels and make thei
fortunes, like the Mausers or the Seil
ers, out of the English and the Americai
tourist. Others, like the Von A I linen
have sunk into a humbler rank, llu
the greater part remain in statu quo
Btill enjoying in the towns i r in th
country a social prestige that variei
with their wealth and their intelligence
For, from the very nature of the ease
all Swiss nobility is more or lessnnelent
and is therefore still venerable in a re
public which has not yet cast off al
reverence for historic tradition. Th
Valais, for instance, contains a verj
ancient noblesse, some of whom, as th
de Sepibus and the dc Cocatrix, beai
Latin nameB, whether or not thej
claim a Roman descent. And a Romai
descent assuredly is claimed by thi
BerneBe family of Lcntulus, who afllU
ate themselves to that most illustrioui
house of the Gens Cornelia. In a con
glomerate nation like the Swiss thi
fountains of honor have lieen numer
oua. Some of the nobility owe theii
diattaetlons to the empire or to Uu
daka ti Anatria; some to the dukaa

Frtbourg; some to the dukea ot .bur

the kings of France, and some to tht
more modern ones even to the kings al

HOW LEO SPENDS HIS DAYS.
Ih. Great Catholie 1'oti'iitut.) It Ounj
from Morning to N'iKt.
In summer, as in winter, Leo XIII. is
awakened at six by a private servant,
according to the North American Re
view. The pope gets up from bed un
aided, and also performs his toilet un
aided, except shaving. At seven he says
his mass and hears a second mass cele
brated by one of the attendants. It
happens sometimes that the pope, hav
ing been troubled with sleeplessness,
gets up with a piece of Latin or Italian
poetry composed during the wakeful
hours. The breakfast of the pope con
sists of coffee, milk and bread without
butter. Soon after the official reception
begins, except Tuesdays and Fridays,
which are set apart for the reception of
the diplomatic body. Cardinals, heads
of congregations, generals of monastic
orders, strangers of distinction, are re
ceived later in the day. In winter, if
the sun shines, the receptions are inter
rupted for awhile for a walk or a drive
of half an hour in the Vatican gardens.
Leo XIII. dines at one o'clock in theold
Roman style. The dinner is composed
of a soup, generally pate d'ltalie, a
roast, a vegetable, very often fried po
tatoes, and fruit. The only wine served
U old Bordeaux.
The pope is very apt to glance over
the journals at meal times. He dines
alone generally. An invitation to take
coffee and milk after the pope's mass is
considered a great honor. It has lately
been granted to the ex-grand duchess
of Tuscany, and to Princes Borg
hese, Aldobrandini, Altieri and Lud
ovisi. In all cases the visitors sit at a
small table placed next to the pope's.
After dinner Leo XIII. takes a siesta
never lasting beyond the hour. Then
follows a drive in the Belvedere gard
ens. At six o'clock, after granting
other audiences, he takes a cup of
bouillon and a glass of Bordeaux. Even
ings are generally devoted to study and
writing. The literary, or mental, work
of the pope is really prodigious. He
prefers to dictate to. his secretaries
from notes which are prepared on a
number of small scraps of paper. These
scraps are afterward torn into a thou
sand fragments to prevent their being
saved, given away or sold as auto
graphs. When there is urgency in the work
confided to one of the secretaries the
pope confines him in a room, supplies
him with writing materials, and goes
away, putting in his pocket the key.
The prisoner, after two or three hours,
hears the key turning in the lock and
sees the good pope come quietly in with
a bottle of excellent wine and a few
biscuits. After examining the work, the
august visitor says a few words tc
stimulate the activity of the writer
offors him the refreshments, and soor
leaves again, taking with him his bottl
and his biscuits.
When the night work is over tht
pope recites the rosary. Between hat
past ten and eleven o'clock he tastes a
cup of consomme, a bit of cold mea'
saved from the dinner, and the usua
glass of Bordeaux. The regular houi
for retiring is eleven o'clock. The pop
does not enjoy calm sleep, especially
when he has over-fatigued himself dur
ing the day, or when there are suddei
changes in the weather.
WALTER SCOTT'S HEROINES.
ILitwa Out of Thirty of the Fair Ouas
Under Twenty.
Out of thirty of Sir Walter Scott's
heroines afixteen are described as under
twenty, says the San Francisco Daily
Report. Of the other fourteen six are
undated. This leaves us eight, three
of whom are set down as over twenty;
two start at one side of the line and are
carried over the other; two are by 1m;
plication rather than by the intention
of the author taken out of their "teens,"
and one, Amy Robsart, is a heroine "of
an uncertain age," since she is histor
ically a middle-aged matron and ficti
tiously a youthful bride. Of the six un
dated, the presumption is altogether in
favor of the earlier age. A member
once entertained the club with the
statement that nearly all of Scott's
heroines are motherless. They are girls
who have grown up in the companion
ship of uncles or fathers, older men,
and with an early responsibility of
thought and action. They have had to
plan their own wardrobes and decide
upon their own conduct toward their
lovers. Some of them have been be
hind the scenes of stirring political
events. Nearly all have been thrown
into situations where they had to think
for themselves, to act with decision,
and in general to fulfill the whole duties
of heroines. The heroines of Scott are,
some of them, only lay figures, but, at
least so far as they have character, they
are women, and they justify the deed,
which are done to win them.
