The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents that may Bring them in Still More. Would jrou 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 haudlcd thousands of applicatious 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. Thatencouragementthe Press Claim's Company propose to give. NOT SO HAKB AH IT SEEMS. A patent strikes most people as au appalling ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell; that he must devote yearB to delving In complicated mechanical problems sad that he must spend a fortune oa 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 clear 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, and 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 ail his marvelous Inven tions ave not been sufficient to pay tne cost of his experiments, But the man who con ceived 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 sewing-ma chine is a miracle of ingenuity the product a hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril liant result rests upou the simple device of putting the eye of the needle at the point in stead of at the other end. of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST VALUABLE. Comparatively few people regard themselves as Inventors, but almost every body has been struck, at one 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 bad to work over a stove, or he would have known how It ought to have been fixed." "Hang such a collar button I" growls a man who is latejfor breakfast. "If I were in the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip out, or baeak off, or gouge out the back of my neck And the various sufferers forgot 'about their Tmtcnrvvvtf.rtni.q, , - ... .. . windows, saucepans and collar buttons into dred dollars.

Pretty typewriters in danger of losing their reason! A new mental disease has been noticed by many physicians in the pu:;t few years, and it has increased with the use of typewriters in all de partments of commercial and profes sional work. It usually begins with a slight but persistent headache. Then gradually the memory fails, so that persons af fected become absent-minded to such a degree that they are scarcely to be trusted alone. Dyspepsia, with all its horrors, follows, and finally the patient becomes unfitted for all mental exertion. This is a description of typewriters' insanity given to a reporter of the New orlc MoroinL' Journal bv Dr. Charles Higgins, of Urooklyn, who has had several such eases under his charge. I he disease is as real. as writers' cramp," the d.u-tor said, 'although when its cause was first hutrtffKted to be the use of the typewriter it was laughed at as absurd. 'People laughed at writers' cramp in the same way twenty years ago." How can tins use of a typewriter cause dyspepsia'."' asked the reporter. Well, to explain thuV said the doc tor, "I should have to go over all that we know of that marvelous telegraph plant which every human being carries about with him, known as the nervous system.

To the imaginative young writer f.here is a fascination about the quietude )f uninterrupted night work until much if its mischief has been done. If he ias a fixed daily occupation, or is pop ular among his friends, the night offers the best chance for continued applica tion by its quietness and peace. This very cessation of life's turmoil and the resulting feeling of ease should tie ac cepted as nature's preparation for rest. Unless it is imperative night work should be avoided, says a writer in the Herald of Health. It must be impera tive to the staff of morning papers, and the question thus assumes importance of accomplishing the work with the least possible expenditure ot vital iorce, While bv working during the day per sistently and deliberately an enormous nmnnnt of eonv can be, thrown off, that fter midnight absorbs the best nart of the writer's vitality. When he should be in the prime of hie faculties he is nervous, suitors from in- sonmla, and his overtaxed nervous sys tem cannot rest, even in artificial slum' ber.

Here the doctor produced diagrams of the keyboards of half a dozen of the prominent makes of typewriters. Now, as you see, "t-u, um, these keyboards consist of round or hexagonal keys, about half nn men in diameter. They are white with black letters in the center, imd they stano out against the DlacK nnciigrmiuu. Many of then- kcybivrds are ei:'iueen inches long by a fool, fleop, ana most oi them are larger then t'.io ptnre ot an ordinary book. Now I will make a little diagram to show you where the great strain on the nervous system from." .... Here the doctor drew a rough sitetcn of the human eye in section and of the keyboard of a popular typewriter. You can easily see that m tne ci- fort to perceive, all the. Keys at ouce, when working rapidly, the eye endeav ors to nil just itself to a locus mat win .,,,rihn entire keyboard. But this is impossible, so the mirror at the back ol the eve. called the retina, is constantly changing the lenses in lront oi uie ey so that it can get the objects distinctly impressed upon it. In the diagram 1 nave oiny suowu four different focuses, continued tne doctor, "but when you multiply them hv the. number of keys on tin; tour rows and count that the spaces between the keys are. about an inch lower than the tops of the keys themselves, you can Imagine, the vast mmiiier oi loeuses unt reach the eye and the. amount of work the lenses of that delicate organ must do to keep pace with them. Prof. Haves, the expert oi i niii- delphia,," Dr. Higgins went on, "has estimated that in five hours' work on a typewriter an ordinary export operator will have to change, tin; focus of the lenses of the eye. at least forty-seven million times! "Now, the human eve was never in tended to do this," asserted the doctor, "and the strain on the. little, muscles which move tlictx! lenses is enor mous. It soon has a redox action on the nerves, and this finally irritates the brain to such a degree that It produces typewriters' insanity." "Is there no cine for this trouble, doctor?" asked the roixirtcr. "Oh, yes:" he rejoined. "Rest will ef m.rfee. enro. ii lid sometimes a pair of eyeglasses, suited to the eyes that are, ' miturally perfect, afford a great relief." "Could you suggest any improvement in typewriters to lessen the strain on the eves'.'"' "I t i n t I could, ' concluded nr. nig- gins.

A limited wardrobe, such as befits the climate, may in a brief manner be stated as the general characteristic of African dress, says Peoples of the World. What little they wear is, how ever, in many cases peculiar enough to merit a few words, and is sometimes combined with an extraordinary furor for improving c? nature by disturbing their otherwise not particularly hand some countenances. Among the Man ganjas, for example, it is the head upon which the greatest elaboration is be stowed. The most favorite form of dressing the hair is to tako a couple of pieces of wet, pliable hide, and shape them into the form of ox or buffalo horns, after which they are allowed to dry. They are then fastened to each side of the forehead and the hair trained over them and plastered into positiou by means of grease and clay. Two horns are the favorite ornament, hut sometimes only one is used; in the latter case the wearer looks like a black bi pedal unicorn. Others vary this style of hair-dressing by twisting up a number of locks all . over the head into the shape of minia ture horns, so as to cause a porcupine like appearance in the practicer of this extraordinary style of head dress. Pig tails, so far as their short "wool" will allow, are also in vogue among some of this tribe. The women, as might be ex pected, are also by no means without fastidiousness in dressing and ornament ing their hair, but this is quite over shadowed by another effort at beautify ing in which they exeol. namely, in wearing the. "pel;le" or ring of ivory, metal, or bamboo, which is of consider able size, in their tipper lip, the orifice for its reception being gradually en Jarged from early girlhood until it can "SXtUHiB Ur$Ufi4 rin..r.iiiflh..w and render;, it impossible for the women to pronon.ic.i the labial letters. Hence a woman in this tribe speaks differently from tin? men. Some of the women even tattoo, but owing to the darkness of their skin this mode of decoration cannot get shown to advantage and is not very popular. It is not pleasant to record of a nation so fond of dress that they seemed to be entirely uneonscioui that in civilized eyes cleanliness is a virtue which ranks even higher than tat tooing.
