PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Loseri nave Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would yon like to make twenty-flvo 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 thousands more. There is plenty
of inventive tallcut at large lu this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO II A KB AS IT SEEJIS.
A patent strikes most peopie 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 s-rd 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 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 aBhamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
irom the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions ave uot 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 furtuue
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-machine
is a miracle of ingenuity the product
a hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result restB upon 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 ItKIKT
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held bv
about three hundred of the leading newspapers
of the United Slates.

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 sancepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who is latefor 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 sufl'erers 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, and then apply for patents
they might find themselveBas independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the oue who patented

A TEMPTING OFI Iilts
To induce the people to keep trackjof their
bright ideas and see what there lu them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
irize.
To the per no it who submits to it
Ihe nimpletit and most promising'
invention from a commercial
point of view, the company will
jtlve twenty-five hundred dollar
in cae.li, 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 muBt obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
firstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this
seach show his Invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and uke out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, Including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
lollura. 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-live hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
30IM,ANKS IN THIS COMPETIOft. I
This is a competition of rather an unusul 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 of the prize. But the Prens Claim
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person i asked merely to help him
self, and rhe one who helps him self to the
bestadvautagels tobe 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 fur a
club house on a certain corner is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
lttle use to him. But the person who patenu a
simple and useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure a prJ,e. He has a substantial
remilt to show for nis worn one that wil
command Its value in the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article in his dailv
work oughtto know better now to Improve It
than the mechanical expert who nludit-8 It
only from the theoretical point of view. Ot
rid of the Idea tha. an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The slmplerthn
better. The person who bent succee ls In
eomblning simplicity and popularity, will jet
the Press Claims Company's twenty-flvo bun

SOLDIERS AT ARMY POSTS.
They Oet Terribly Homesick and "Weary
of Life.
It would bo an incomplete story of
life at a post which said nothing of the
visits of homesickness, which many
strong; men in the west have confessed
to me is the worst sickness with which
man is cursed. Anil it is an illness
which comes at irregular periods to
those of the men who know and love
the east. It is not, a homesickness for
one home or for one person but a case
of that madness which seized Private
Otheris. only iu a less malignant form
and in the oliicers' quarters, says Har
per's Weekly.
An impotent protest against the
immutability of time and space is one
of its symptoms si melt disgust of the
the blank prairie, blackened by fire
though it had been drenched with ink,
the bare parade pround, the same faces,
the same stories, the same routine and
detailed life, which promises no change
or end, and with these a longing for
streets and rows of houses that seemed
commonplace before, of architecture
they had dared to criticise and which
now seems fairer than the lines of the
Parthenon, a craving to get back to
place where people, whether you know
them or not, are hurrying home from
work under the electric lights, to the
rush of the passing hansoms
and the cries of the "last ed
tions," and the glare of the shop win
dotvs, to the life of a great city that n
as careless of the exile s love for it as
the ocean to one who exclaims upon
its grandeur from the shore; a soreness
of heart which makes men while
lasts put familiar photographs out of
sight, which makes the young lieuten
ants, when the band plays a certain
waltz on the parade at sundown, bite
their chin straps and stare ahead more

MOTHERHOOD.
A mother's duty, a mother's influence :
how shall we use our Godniven trust to
best fulfill His will and design, in this
most precious relationship, which an
wise Father has vouchsafed to
oman. these are questions as broad
time, as far reaching as eternity.
Whocan solve the problem for us?
We look within, and with all the
romptings of a mother's heart, we can-
it find the answer there; for how often
do we find ourselves hedged about by
rcumstanees, combined in such a man
ner as to undo what we had looked upon
as our most settled rule. We mav look
bout us in the life history of friends
nd see where the most careful home
raining in two different families lias
resulted in success for the one and fa.il-
e lor the other. So it is with all the
isdom we may gain from personal ex
perience and observation, we are yet
constrained at times to cry out, what
hall 1 do! How shall l manage tins
most serious question of mother's work.
Here, as in how many other troubled
places on life's vaBt sea, comes the
blessed thought, as an inspiration to our
tired heart and weary brain, Lookup!
trembling one, ask wisdom of the All-
wise, the hver-faithful, who never fails
us in our hour of need.
To have our children pure and true,
t must be onr first aim to keep them so.
It has often been said that if the mother
but faithfully perform her duty, this is
It that is needtul; and again, 1 lie
man is what his mother makes him."
Still another has beautifully expressed
the sentiment thus: "The hand which
rocks the cradle, is the hand that moves
the world."
Now let us examine these points a
little, and see if, at times, there are not
nfluences other than the mother's,
which have some part in moulding the
lives committed to our care. Do not un
derstand me as wishing to lessen the
esponsibility of the mother nor under
value her influence ; neither to transfer
to another that which belongs to her.
riiis we dare not do in the face of the
numbers of good and noble of earth who
have arisen to testify that what they
were they owed to the early teaching of
a pious, devoted mother, JNor can we

numbers which comes to us o'er the
dark waves which launch them into
eternity, "Oh I that I had obeyed my
notlier; had I but heeded her counsels,
I should not have been what I am to-
iav."
The spring which rises high up amid
the pure, eternal snow, sends down the
mountain side, through rockv gulch to
our feet in the green and shining valley
below, a stream pure and limpid, as free
from Btain as the spotless element which
gave it birth, liutahlhow long is this
to continue, purely the source irom
which it sprung is doing the part which
God assigned it, in supplying that, which
s the charm of its hie, pure, sparkling
water. But there are other influences
al work which cannot be ignored nor set
aside. How of the soil through which
the stream may How? Is its bed always
overed with clean pebbles, and are its
banks alwayB grassy and moss grown?
Alas, sometimes there are sad changes
in tne picture; the soil becomes im
pure, and the otherwise clear stream is
discolored by the clay and earth through
which it Hows. 1 know these ate sad,
pitiful thoughts, but who can gainsay
this truth. iStill other influences are at
work farther on. Down the stream, it
seems but a little way, we may see a
decaying carcass w hich has been care
lessly thrown in us margin, and how are
the waters poisoned by contact with the
same. It was, indeed, a careless hand,
nay, more, a eruel, wreckless hand
which placed the foul stain where it
would mar that winch was intended
only to beautify the scene in which it
was placed, and to give comtort to lite.
The first pure influence may ho exerted
never so failhfullv and patientlv, but
can it fully do away with, or overcome!
these adverse influences lor which it is
in no wise accountable?
Our children are with us the entire
time for a few Bliort years only. Nay,
may the time not be reckoned by
months, so few the years Beem e're they
nlin away from our arms to make the
journey down the stream of time?
Who that is a mother cannot recall
with what feelings she kissed her little
one gooil bye as it took the school bag
proudly in its wee hand and went forth
to its first 'lay at school.
I have thought, sometimes, if we
could see down the years of the future,
all that lay before that first step from
home and mother, our hearts would cry
out "it must not be, 'tis more than I can
hear." Well may the mother lift her
heart to (iod in most fervent prayer that
he would keep her darling "in the hol
low of Imb hand." Krorn this time for
ward the little one must be subject to
influences, from which the mother, with
all her love anil best endeavors, can not
save her child entirely; and this, too,
for the greater part ol its working time.
Ah, she must be wise with moie than
eUithly wisdom if she impress upon that
restlesB little heart Biitlicient truth and
purity to oll'set the evil influence which
is exerted by the careless and impure
with whom her child is thrown. I am
aware there are many who think there
is no need of anxiety or the little child
of tender years, but lie' e lies one of the
greatest mistakes of parents. A very
! anxious mother was once talking to the
! husband and father how best to manage
' a thoughtless, lestless little boy of eight
years. "Oh," said the father, "he is
just a little fellow yet, there is no harm
for him, besides be must take his
chances along with ether boys." Ah,
the fatal mistake of carrying out this
idea. Would we turn our children over
to the mercy of wild beasts and not ex
pect them to be torn and maimed? and
what better is human nature left unre
strained, and without the touch of the
divine hand, transforming and softening
the otherwise hard, rebellious heart.
The Catholic church (a sect who have
studied most carefully this great ques
tion of influence, and how Lest obtain
ed,) says that it you but give them the
full control of your child until seven
years old, they would ask nothing fur
ther. May we not derive valuable aid
from their keynote of success in this
great question which concerns us most
deeply as mothers, and the world at
large, through us'
I have in my memory a picture of a
bright and beautiful little girl, an only
daughter, the pride and joy of a devoted
father and mother, who through this
blind love for their child, could see no
flaw in her life. But sad and bitter the
truth to tell, almost before they realized
she was ought else than their baby girl,
the poisoned drop had been cast into the
stream, the tale of flattery, and bright
pictures of gay company and fine ap
parel, (a picture as false as fair) had
turned the scales on the side ot wrong,
and the life that promised so much in
its early morning, was blackened and
ruined e're its noon time. Her confes
sion was that her very early years saw
the fatal start on the downward road.
Oh! mothers let us guard well, and
guard w ith care the early, tender years
of our children. Let us strive to keep
our hearts young for their sake. Show
me the son or daughter who makes a
confident of the mother and we can
almost say their safety is assured. Let
us strive to gain that confidence, sym
pathizing in their griefs, shaimg their
joys, ever trying to remember how life
appeared to us when young. Let us
guard well this companionship, for I am
well aware it is not possible to hold the
confidence of all children. They are far
from being constituted the same, each
having their own individual traits of
character, a wide diversity being
frequently found in the same family.
Every child has his or her ideal whom
they aspire to resemble. The other day
I heard a bright little girl say, "lam
trying very hard to be just like Mary,
but I am afraid I will fail." Ah, thought
little one what a happv thing for vou
that Mary is a pure, thriithful, obedient
daughter, striving to walk in the foot
steps of the blessed Master. We know
not upon whom their likes are to fall,
and if their companions be foul in word
or deed, their influence must have its
impress upon the heart of the trusting
one. But there comes a time, all too
Boon, when our children go out from our
homes to take their places in the busy
walks of life. This but speaks more
loudly to us, guard well each moment
and hour of your child's life while with
in your reach, laying as best you can,
with bod s help, a foundation sure and
strong for the superstructure which
future years may see builded. One
which, if the life be pure and the aim
high and holy, will form the stepping
stone to the life beyond, the "life which
is hid with Christ in God."
Whatevor our aims may be, that
which looses sight of this great central
truth, is direst failure. Let onr watch
word therefore ever be, first "tor God,
then Home and Native Land."

Unquestionably industry is one of the
good qualities which may be attributed
to all the natives of C'ln.ui alike. No
doubt the fact that ninety-niuo out of
every hundred Chinamen perpetually
live "on the nigged edge of existence"
is mainly accountable for this virtue,
but it is unquestionably the leading
characteristic which strikes a foreigner
on landing China. No matter whether
his 'jxperience lies in the crowded
streets of such cities as Canton or
among the village communities on the
northern plains, the same ceaseless dil
igence is observable.
A belated traveler passing through
the streets of a town cannot fail to be
truck with the sounds of labor which
proceed from behind the closed shutters
of the workshops; and the London
Atheneum says that an early riser in
the country will be robbed of all self
congratulation by finding that the field
laborers have completed a recognizable,
portion of thoir day's work before he
was astir.
The emperor's day begins during a
great portion of the year before day
light, and in every yamun throughout
the land his example is fallowed. Such
Indefatigable industry would under
favorable circumstances produce a pros
perous, well-to-do people, but in China
the population is mj dense that it is only
by this means and by the exercise of
the strictest economy that the natives
are able to keep body and soul together.
Nothing is wasted by them, and sub
