You would learn the first from the tun on her nose and the second from the mud on her gown. If there had been any room for douht on either point it would have been removed by her bag. The woinnit from Jersey, according to the New York World, always carries a bag when she comes to town. She was on a lirondway ear and had ridden all the way from Grand street up to Twenty-first. There slin signaled the con ductor to stop the ear. She let it come to a dead standstill before she rose from her seat. Then she made a leisurely progress to the door and stepped from the platform still deliberately. The car was well under way in obedience to the Impatient jerk of the conductor's bell before he espied a purse lying1 where the woman had been seated. He gave the bell a second yank, seized the purse, and, with "Just liko a woman," he made a break for the platform and hailed the woman. "Here's your purse!" he. yelled. "You've gone off and left it." 1 She turned, walked unhurriedly back to the car, looked hard at the purse and aid in a gentle drawl: "I can take it, if you wish, but it Isn't mine!" The car, with a mad conductor and a load oJ amused passengers, was started on its way by a tingle that almost wrecked the bell rope. The woman miled and returned to the sidewalk.

PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There was never a time in the history of onr couotry when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts find seienoes generally was so great as now. The Conveniences of mankind in the fuotory and workshop, the household and on the farm, an well as in offieial life, require oontinual accessions to the appurtenance and impliments of each in order to Baye labor, time and expense. The political change Id the ad minis, tra od government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who beiug on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter him from quickly oonoeiving the remedy to overoome existing discrepan cies. Too great oare oannot- be exer cised in ohoosiug a oompetent and skill ful attorney to prepare and proseoute an application for patent. Valuable in toreslB have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent oounsel, and es pecially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this olasa of attorneys do so at imminent risk, bb the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee.

"When I used to gamble," said a good citizen in the Kansas City Star, "if I won I always nude it a point to buy new clothes or pay my hoard a month ahead or buy a diamond or something like that.

P-AWYLAD' RAT-CATCHING IN ENGLAND, A Sport In Which Many Bold Briton Taka Great Delight. Though the tenant and the landlord, ! the eame-keeper and the ijardener be- wail the platrue of rats, Bays the Lon don Globe, there is one personage who is delighted at its existence, and that is the lazy, sport-loving, poaching village wastrel, who finds in rut-catching' an employment that at once gratifies his inclination for out-of-doors recreation and yields a respectable wage without excessive toil. In Norfolk there hardly seems to be a hamlet without one or two men of this kind in it, and, being in that county about a fortnight ago, took a fancy to watch a forenoon's rat- catching. That was no difficult matter. You cannot take a walk without com. ing across some one engaged in it. -the specimen I stumbled upon was a stiffly-built but strong-made veteran of sixty or so, with a bristly gray mus tache, a big voice, a sharp eye, and a joke ready for every occasion. His implements were a long spade with an iron hook on the handle, a sickle for clearing away nettles and un dergrowth, and a box which contained his ferrets and a number of glass-stop pered bottles. "The varmin bit so," he explained, "he had to carry ointments and balsams to dress the wounds." Taking up one of his ferrets he showed where its head was all scarred with toothmarks. For the protection of his own hands he wore stout chamois- leather gloves. Hut the most interest ing part of his equipment consisted of the sharpest looking dogs I have ever seen. The fancier who administers small doses of arsenic in order to make the coats look well on the bench might well have envied them the healthy, glistening skins produced by constant work in the open. Yet the creatures themselves were hopeless mongrels, in color and shape not unlike Scotim ter riers, but larger. A hole was just being finished as I went up. "Is there any more, Bob? asked the rat catcher, addressing, just if he had been a Christian, the most aged of his followers. Hob sniffed and turned away. "All right," said his master, "go on to tho next." Hob wagged his tail and set off along the bank of the dyke, merely glancing at several little burrowings. "I follows Hob," remarked the man, as he gath ered up his traps together. "There! he's found 'em;" and sure enough the terrier had stopped and made a "dead point" fifty yards along the ditch, and no sooner was a ferret taken out of the box than he planted himself in front of one "bolt hole." His companions chose two more, and the whole three stood alert and vigilant, but perfectly still. while the ferret was put in. Hardly had that been done for a couple of min utes ere the rats, large and small, be- fan to dash out into the very jaws of he dogs. Fifteen had been killed and then ame an interval that made us think the last was finished. But when we at tempted to move liob gave a, whimper and a little scratch at the earth he was watching. "I mini dig him out," said the man, and a few well-directed pokes lth a spade disclosed a rat that might have been the father of the tribe, caught in a blind alley. A single snap was enough to lay him dead, and Hob, ith his customary sniff, turned heels ' and was off to new quarters. This time his point was made opposite a thick hedge, the dry ditch running alongside being quite choked up with briars, net tles and weeds. With the reaping hook these were soon cleared away, however, and some idea of the extent to which the vermin prevail may be judged from the fact that at least half a dozen "loose" rats were killed before the ferrets were used at all. I imagined a splendid day's work had been accomplished when eighty-six rats had been killed, and both terriers, ferrets and men were obviously becoming fagged with the work. For it must be remembered that the creatures had not congregated in one place, as they do in a corn rick, but were all found in open country that is to say, in the boundary ditch and hedges of a turnip field. But subse quent inquiry showed that the slaugh ter had not been exceptionally large, two men having between them killed two hundred and forty-three in a single morning on an adjacent farm. The BeKgara of Pari. "'A clever Frenchman has just been taking the statistics of the charities of Paris, which are immense in volume, and he finds that three-fourths of the colossal sum which they represent is absorbed by professional beggars. He gives a very amusing account of the de vices which they adopt for getting this enormous sum and for living in idleness upon it, and his conclusion is that the whole system of almsgiving must be reformed. If something is not done soon he thinks that the deserving poor will be entirely crowded out by the fakirs. There are well-known mendi cants in Paris who have plied their trade until they have become rich and who are yet undisturbed by the police. J White Anta In Central Australia. A traveler in central Australia-has discovered that the surface of the country has been greatly changed by what may appear at first thought a ridiculous agency the white ants. On plain and in thickets their nests are so numerous that it is difficult to drive among them. The clay with which the nests are built is, when cemented with resinous matter, as hard as brick, and when the nests fall to pieces they form elay flats, almost impervious to water and not easily cut up by traffl Knd of a Iionff-l.lvcl llumbup. The cold bath is going out of favor There was, indeed, an element of hum bug in the noisy enjoyment of the man who in the dead of winter broke thin ice to gain ablution. The ghastly smile and the chattering of teeth gave the lie to his protestations of delight. The Japanese, whose civilization may well excite envy, shun cold water as neither refreshing nor cleansing. The poorest , inhabitant has a tire of charcoal lighted i under a movable tub. And just as hot tea in summer is more cooling than the iced drink, so is hot water to be pre ferred to cold: nor need the advocate of this principle be necessarily a disciple of Hahnemann. A Wonder In ere. The eyes of insects are immovable, and many of them seem cut into a multitude of facets like the facets of a diamond.
