PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Cift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them In Still More.
Would you 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 applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousauds more. There is plenty
of inventive tallent at large In this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT HEEIT1S.
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 iu
complicated mechanical problems aud 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, aud
expensive Inventions thalbriiig the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that stem so absurdly
trivial that the average clllzcu would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
Irom the patents on all bis marvelous Inven
tions ave not been sufficient to pay tne cost
of bis 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 moderu sf whig-machine
Is a miracle of iugenuily the product

liant result rests upon the simple device of

of the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
THE LITTLE! THINGS THE RIUKT
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
frictlous of life. Usually such, ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
Why don't tbe railroad company make Its car
windows so that they can be slid up aud down
withjut breaklngjthe 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 how It ought to have beeu 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
frie ranees 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, and 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

A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce the people to keep tracktof their
bright ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
I nze.
To llie person who submits to if
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
give twenty. five hundred dollar
in cuah, in addition to refunding
tbe 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
tlrstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should thh
aeach show his Inveiitlnu to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete Mr
application aud take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
lollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent thai
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a Jury consisting ni
three reputable patent attorneys of Washing
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with theli
application:

HonrikDahl, of Aalesund, Noway, was

and gradually reduced tho quantity,
with so little inconvenionco to tho hor
ring that ho concluded that tho fish

It turned out as he expected, and the

moved tho fish from its tub and placed
it on tho ground, whoro it (lopped about
very awkwardly at first, but goon
learned to move free'.y and rapidly.
In a littlo while tho herring was able
to follow its master without difficulty,
and then It became his constant com

a certain unfortunate day llonrik had
occasion to cross a dilapidated bridge
which spanned an arm of tho harbor.
Tbe herring coming gracefully along,

obtained its distinctive title from the

a character bearing that name in
Sir Walter Scott's "(Juy Mannering.
The fox terrier was so named because it
as originally kept as an addition to
every pack of foxhounds. Uloodhounds
derive their name from the possession
of a peculiar power of scenting the
blood of a wounded animal. In olden
times stag hunting was a favorits
amusement of the nobility, and the
dogs used in such sport part grey
hounds and part bloodhounds were
given the name of staghounds. t ox
hounds, in like manner, were trained to
hunt the wily animal. Various expla
nations have been given of the origin
of the term greyhound, some authori
ties claiming that the prefix grey is
taken from Krattts, meaning Ureek;
others that it signifies great, while still
others say that it has reference to the
color of tho animal. In no other breed
of hounds i the blue or grey color so
prevalent, and consequently the last
mentioned seems the most piausioio.
Harriera are chiefly used in hunting
hares in Enjrhtrjil, while the title Bea
gle, applied to, a breed which Is an in
veterate enemy of rabbi's, is probably
derived from the Celtic beag, or bite, or
the Welsh back, signifying little, they
being in reality a small species of hound.
A pointer is so called because of iu
habit of stopping and pointing at game
with its nose, while the setter gets its
name from a like habit, excepting that
it crouches instead of standing when
pointing under similar circumstances.
Newfoundland dogs were originally na
tives of that country and Labrador,
from which circumstance they receive
their title. In the same manner the
noble St. Bernards are so called from
the famous monastery of that name iti
the Alps. That rather dangerous breed
called Spitz or Pomeranian dogs, a va
riety of the Esquimau, were urst orea
in f'omeraniii, Russia, but the popular
name of Spitz was probably derived
from the erroneous notion that they
originated in Spitzenbergen. Spaniels,
of which there arc many breeds, are
supposed to have first come from Spain,
from which circumstance is derived
their distinctive names. Charles I. was
an ardent admirer of a small variety of
this animal, and from that arose the
designation fif his pets known the world
over as the King Charles.
Mastiff is the term applied to a very
large and powerful species of the canine
family, and there is consulcraDic con-,
flict of opinion regarding the origin of
the word. Some claim that it is de
rived from the Italian mastino, or the
French mastin, both of which signify
large-limbed. Others, aga.n. say its
true origin is the old German masten,
to fatten, because the mastiff is a large
dog and so seems better fed than any
other. Poodle is derived from the Ger
man pudel, a puddle or pool. They are
without doubt the most intelligent of

There are many things that people
really value more than wealth at any j ttm, iusults to ruTcllffUi piir;iued and be-time-perhaps,
thinks Harpers Bazar, , him m ,lig privatu npartmenU,
valuing wealth only as a means for
these things. Iu youth people prize
amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth
is thrown away recklessly for tne sake
of such ends. After the maturer tastes
are developed people have no objection
to wealth for the sake of other aims
which it may promote, but it Is not a
substitute for those aims. The artist
loves art, the man of science loves
science, the student loves study,
the inventor loves invention, the
domestic inun loves home. Even the
man of action loves action mainly as a
thing attractive in itself. He would
readily accept wealth as a inciins of
achieving bis other purposes, but he
would not sell those purposes for
wealth. The oroof of this is that

noes not; indeed, he often impover
ishes himself for his own pursuits. "Be
yond a very moderate account," wrote
Coleridge, "I regard money as a real
evil." The man of other pursuits knows
that one cannot possibly be very rich
and carry on those pursuits also, so en
grossing is the mere care of property,
and so difficult and absorbing is the
wise use of it. Many a prominent artist
or author has been simply ruined for
the purposes for which he was created
by becoming heir to a large estate; not
that it demoralized him otherwise, but
it left him no time for his natural
work. Volumes have been written on
tho suppression of genius by poverty,
but very little has yet been said on the
wrecking of genius through wealth.

Of the cruelty of the Turkish grandee,
Defterdar Bey, who married a daughter
of Mohammed Ali, numerous anecdotes
are related in Egypt, says the New
York Ledger. lie had, it is said, a tame
lion, usually lying at the foot of his
divan, which, although mild toward its
master, was sufficiently ferocious to ter
rify his visitors. Sometimes he allowed
it to worry his slaves, calling it off, per
haps, just as it was about to kill the
wretches.
This savage, when governor of the
delta, piqued himself on the simplicity
and primitivene'ss of his manners and
his entire freedom from European hab
its and notions. During the period of
his command iu the upper country a
soldier robbed a popr wouiua of a little
milk. The woman, not foreseeing the
result, laid her complaint before the
Bey. who demanded her to point out the
culprit. This being done, the soldier
was ordered to be laid upon the ground
and his body ripped open. The milk
being found in his stomach, the Bey
paid the complainant, and, dismissing
her, observed:
"Tho robber has been punished; but
had he been discovered to be innocent
the same punishment would have
awaited you."
It was the custom of this barbarian,
who always moved surrounded by the
terror of arms, to ride abroad accom
panied by a number of mamelukes (or
domestic slaves), each of whom carried
a thousand sequins in his girdle, that,
should he be compelled to fly, which,
considering his decided hostility to the
pasha, was by no means improbable, he
might still bo provided with money for
his immediate ti: c. During the Syrian
campaign six of these young men,
dreading the effects of his ferocity, ex
amples of which they daily beheld,
made their escape, und took refuge in
Ibraham's camp. Being discovered,
however, they were immediately appre
hended and conveyed back to Cairo.
Here they were commanded to appear
before their inexorable lord in the great
hall of the palace, where they found
him encircled by a number of blacks,
armed with drawn swords. They were
not long in learning their fate. He
commanded them to take every man a
saber and attack each other in his pres
ence, until five, of their number should
fall, promising life and a thousand se
quins to the victor. The mamelukes
obeyed; ranged themselves three and
three, and, having been trained to the
use of arms, and uniting skill with
courage, fought desperately, shedding
their blood like water, while the Dcftcr
dai sat calmly on his divan enjoying the
spectacle. At length, after a long and
sanguinary struggle, only one re

dearly, drew their pistols, and, aiming
at the head of the tyrant, were about to
