PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There wb never a time in tbe history of onr conutry when tbe demand for inventions and improvements in tbe arts sod soienoes generally was so great as now. Tbe conveniences of mankind in tbe fuotory and workshop, tbe household and on tbe farm, as well as in ofiieial life, require oontinual accessions to tbe appurtenance and impliments of each in order to save labor, time and expenne. Tbe political change in the mlininistra on government does not affect the progress of the American inveutor, who being on tbe alert, and ready to per ceive tbe exiting deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter him from quickly oonooiviug the reme ly to overoome existing discrepan cies Too great onro oannnt be exer o:h ii in choosing a compntuot mid flkill ''. attorney to prepare aud prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in terests have b".ea lost and destroyed iu inoamerablo instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, aud es pecially is this advioe applicable to those wbo adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors wbo entrant tbeir business to this class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as tbe breadth and strength of tbe patent is never con sidered In view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain tbe fee.

The circuit rider in the West Virginia mountains one day overtook a moun taineer driving a pair of mules along the road anil engaged him in conversa tion, as was his wont, says the Detroit Free Press. "You will excuse me," said the good man, "but 1 am the preacher on this circuit, and I want to know thu people who live here. 1 suppose this is your neighborhood?" 'Yes, sir. I live down here on Greasy, just beyantthe forka," was the prompt response. "I don't think 1 saw you at church last Sunday, did 1?" "No, sir; but I usually aim to get thar. Had a spell uv sickness last week an' was laid up." I am glad to hear yon are a church goer and I hope you arc a member." "Well, mister, and the native's face showed some regret, "1 hain'tgotso fer along as that y it. 'llout the best I kin do is to go to meet in' and take chances tin the baliiuee." "Hut why don't you become a mem ber?" "Ca.e my business is agin it." "What do yon do?" "I'm a teamster." "Why, that is no reason why you shouldn't join the church." "Hut 1 drive mules, mister, an' after ten vers at it I'm here to say that mule drivin' an' the Christian religion won't gee fer shucks, an' thar ain't no use tryin' to make 'em. I'm just as glad to see you, though, mister, an' whoa, thar, whoa," he broke iu on himself as his team went into chiun hole, aud before he pot on to hard ground again the preaeher was convinced that the na tive was more thau half right. The Treacher Wn PunUd. Mr. Moody received a revelation the other night while he was walking about the big hall in which he preaches looking out for the unconverted with whom to talk. Seeing a couple of young ladies down in the audience he approached them and put the usual question to Bud whether they were among the con verted and elect. "O," promptly responded the younger and prettier of the two, "we belong to tbe choir. We're going back on the platform in a luomcuts" The preacher gure a half smile, in doubt whether membership in the choir meant that necessarily they were saved, or whether their salvation waa uot to be considered. Whatever the conclusion of the revivalist was, he HHHik hands with the singers and walked off without receiving further Information. Washington Nsws. A TERR13LE TEMPTATION. An KiiKiUb rhy.iian'. nnng-ry rKperi enr. in Afrlci.. A real, fine oM ?'nq-lish (rcatleman was Dr. Thomas Gurtin. who, while confabbing with a number of friends in a prominent Washington resort re cently, related a numberof interesting experiences in his career. His later years have been passed looking out for sick people in the Canadian wilds, but his younger days were marked with ac tivity and no little adventure. "What do you regard aa about the most perilouB position you were ever in, doctor0" asked a writer for the Post. "Well," Musingly replied the doctor, "I am sure a circumstance that hap pened when, as a young man, I had the double office of supercargo and surgeon of an English trading vessel on the African coast, left a deeper and more painful impression on my mind than any other event in my life." His listeners gathered somewhat closer, and the doctor went on: "Oar captain and the ship's company generally were pretty well acquainted with the natives, and various kings and priests and other men in authority would frequently come aboard to get a bite of salt pork and once in awhile a glass of rum, etc., so it was not con sidered dangerous to go ashore and make little excursions into the interior. The natives were cannibals, but they knew whom to eat, and interest for their personal welfare prevented their mouths watering for the blood of an Englishman. I went ashore one day with the mate, who got the notion Into his head that he wanted to kill two or three gorgeously plumaged birds, cure and dress their iving feathers and take them home to his sweetheart. We got separated In the jungle and I became lost. I had left my pocket compass aboard the ship and to save my life I couldn't locate myself. Well, I was in that forest for two days without a thing to eat before I was lucky enough to strike the coast, from which I had at no time been three miles distant. I was starving. I think for the first time in my life I realized what hunger was.' Here the doctor made a grimace. "Hoys," he said, "as I got near the coast my nostrils met a most savory odor. It increased my torment of hunger tenfold, while my heart re joiced at the prospect of food; but to my horror and fright I walked right into a group of niggers boiling a man. The remembrance of the temptation offered me clings to me yet. Weak as 1 was, however, I ran from the place lest I, too, should become a cannibal. If I had remained with those niggers in my starved condition I should have purtaken of their awful broth. Fut I was safe, for a party from the ship soon found me, and when 1 saw them I fainted away. That terrible tempta tion," the doctor continued, "was the one event of all my career that makes me gloomy whenever I think of it aud 1 almost always think of it." NO WHIS .0i (: BERLIN. One of tlio Many NuiHy Nuisance. Forbld- un in the (lurmnil City'. Street.. The Iterlin police are permanently under instructions to repress whis tling, whether recreative or utilitar ian, with the utmost rigor, and dis play unrelaxing energy in carrying out their orders to the letter. Whistling in public is not only repugnant to the German apprehensions of "di hohere liildung," or "higher culture," says a writer in the London Telegraph, but actually constitutes a minor misde meanor, and as such is punishable by fine, with the inevitable alternative of imprisonment. The former penalty was recently incurred by a hall porter of a fashionable hotel, t'nter den Lin den, who persisted in sounding his whistle to summon a cab for a client of the establishment after having been forbidden to do so by an agent of the low. Appealing from the sentence of the police authorities to the judgment of a civil court, the porter pleaded that from time immemorial it had been the custom in Ilerlin to whistle for drosch kies, once, twice, thrice, or four times, according to the relative quality or capacity of the vehicle required. This plea, however, the judge rejected as irrelevant to the point at issue to-wit, the Illegality of whistling in a public thoroughfare and further mulcted the appellant in the sum of three marks "for making a noise that disturbed the repose of the public." The Prussian police authorities to their credit and praise be it admitted are inflexible, iu prohibiting the per formance of street bands; they only grant organ grinding licenses to a few infirm old soldiers, who, moreover, ahs not permitted to work their instru ments of torture in roadways or side walks, but only in certain prescribed open places, or in the court yards of private houses at the special request of their Inmates. On the other hand, they re overtolerant with regard to all manner of street cries and to the dis-4 tracting clamor raised by the children on their way to and from school at cer tain hours of the day. Prussia is con spicuously a music loving and a music making country. As the inhabitants of its cities, however, for the most part live In Hats, they are uot allowed to play or sing in their uppurtments after ten o'clock p. uv, unless with the ex press consent of the persons residing immediately above- or below them, whoso innate right to enjoy unbroken rest "o' nights" they ore bound to re spuet. Nor may they keep on their premises any furred or feathered ani mals addicted to the nocturnal utter ance of sounds that "murder sleep" aud give rise to irritation of temper. The conscientious dog prompted by a sense of duty to bark all night, if notoriously vociferous, ha to be severe ly eliminated from the precincts of a I'russiau townhouse. Tk ( arc or Uie Klioolglrlt. Dr. llnekus, of the Packer institute in llroolilyn, has been saying some se verely common sense things to am bitious p.u nts. In addressing a meet ingof educators he very forcibly ex pressed his opinion regarding the re sponsibility which parents should feel in the physical care of the young stu dent in her school days, lie emphat ically disapproved of the practice of keeping her on a piano stool for hours every day. "Put her to bed earlv and don't waken her in the morning." he said. "If she is not being overtaxed , she will waken herself in time for I school; and if she doesn't, let her j sleep. Give her a good breakfast, too, i before she starts out. Her stomach, at j that time of life, is n more important I organ than her brain." All of which is sound sense and was so enthusias tically received by his listeners that it is to be hoped every scholar's guardian present took away the good seed to bear fruit. WINO FEATHERS. The Marreloiu Mechanical Provisions m Nature. Feathers are peculiar to birds, and in their typical form have a shaft or stiff central rod fixed at one end into the skin and free at the other. From the two opposite sides of this shaft grow thin, flat plates, constituting the web or vane of the feather. This web, how ever, is not a simple, solid structure like a piece of paper, or even the leaf of a plant. It is composed of an im mense number of homy filaments placed side by side and set obliquely on the shaft, to which they are fixed by their inner ends. To understand what follows, I would ask my reader, says a writer in Good Words, to take a goose quill, or & feather of the wing of any bird that may be at hand, and look at it carefully. He will see that these separate filaments of which the vane is composed, technically called barbs, although really distinct from each other and only attached to the common stem at their base, have a curious tendency to cling together, so as to form a continuous structure, and that it takes a slight but distinct amount of force to separate them and that after they have been pulled or forced apart, if they are brought in contact again by gently stroking the feather in the right direction, or by waving it briskly through the air, they will join again as firmly as before. He will also find that this operation ruay be repeated an indefinite number of times. Of all the marvelous mechanical adaptations we meet with in nature there is nothing more wonderful than that which is seen in every feather of a bird's wing. The object is evidently to produce an expanded surface, light, strong, and practically indestructible, one capable of resisting the pressure brought to bear upon it in buffeting the strongest winds without perma nently splitting or being torn in tat ters. SOME BIO FIGURES. Emioration from European Russia to Siberia is on the increase and reached 100,000 in 1S92. Thk assets of the life insurance com panies of the United States aggregate 8850.000,000, while the gross income is 8220,000,000. Tiikrk are 38.000 Chinese inhabitants in the chief cities of the United States 24,000 of them in San Francisco and 2,000 in New Y'ork. The treasury department estimates the total cost of the deportation of Chinese laborers under the Geary act at 87,360,000, of which sum 88o0,000 would be required for the current fiscal year. Ekglibh is spoken by 90,000,000 of people; Russian, by 75,000,000; German, 56,000.000; French, 40,000,000; Spanish, 38,000,000; Italian, 20,000,000; Portu guese, 14,000,000, and Scandinavian, 9,000,000. MirxiiAi.1,, in his "Balance Sheet of the World," soys: "Every day the sun rises upon the American people it sees an oddition of 82,500,000 to the accumu lation of wealth in the republic, which is equal to one-third of the daily ac cumulation of mankind outside of the United States."

AN AVERTED TRAGEDY. How an F.nBllnh Captain Put Out a Fire In the Nick of Time. The "Historical Records of the Forty-Third Light Infantry," the fa mous regiment which played a most important part in English warfare during the last quarter of the eigh teenth century and the early part of the nineteenth, contains a stirring in cident of the prompt action which averted a tragedy, says the Manches ter Times. Worn out with hard march the brig ade under Capt. Lloyd approached the convent at llenevcnte, where the cav alry and reserve still remained, hoping for shelter. They were disappointed. The convent was occupied by several thousand infantry, and the lower gal leries were so densely packed with the horses of cavalry and artillery that it was hardly possible for a man to make his way among them. Two of the oflieers stood looking in at the dubious prospect through the single door that gave ingress and egress. A sudden cry of alarm burst from the lips of one. "Look there!" he cried, pointing over the backs of the horses. At that moment one of the Inside wooden shutters burst into flame. Horrified, the officers looked ot the burning shutter, and realized the hopelessness of the situation. It would be impossible to get the 6,000 men and horses out, and they must stand by and see their comrades perish miserably. There was no w ater near, and if there were, how get at the fire through those densely crowded horses? The Humes crept upward towards the rafters. "Good heavens! Something must be done!" cried Capt. Lloyd. And then with a motion to those outside to be quiet, the brave captain leaped on the back of the nearest horse, and stepping from back to back of the ani mals, ran to the blazing shutter, tore it from its hinges and pitched it from the window. Then he made his way back to the door in the same way as before. So quickly was the act performed that even the horses were scarcely dis turbed. The building was saved and there was no panic, w hich would have been as disastrous as the llames. The captain's eyebrows and mustache were scorched, but that was all. "And they'll grow again," he said, with a lough. THE NILOMETER. A Qu.er In.trumeut I'.ed During the Ao nual Overllow of the Ml.

Couldn't Marry on B3Ot000 a Tear. "No," remarked the young man with a touch of sadness in his voice, "it may be that some day happiness will be mine, but at present it is beyond me. There is a girl whom I love dearly. She would have me if I only asked her, but I dare not. I really cannot marry and live on 6,000 a year." His two friends to whom he spoke looked at him in wonder. For a moment they were speechless con sternation and pity depicted on their youthful countenances. Hut present ly speech returned to them exactly at the same time, and they fairly howled in their excitement; "You cannot mar ry on 6,000 a year? Why not?" "Why not?" echoed the youth with the sad voice, which grew still sadder. "Why, simply because I haven't the 6,000." And the mystery was explained. Out-nf-Court Settlement. Par. The American Lawyer, a legal jour nal published in New Y'ork City, tells of a lawyer of that city who secured a fee of 8260,000; of another who was paid 8250,000 for his service on a cele brated case; while other fees are men tioned running from 825,000 to 8100,000 won by lawyers, not by conducting, but by avoiding, litigation. In fact, it is apparent that more money is made nowadays by lawyers who settle cases out of court than by those who put their clients to the expense of litiga tion. FROM THE ORE. Borne of the Proce.se. In ttteel and Iron Manufacture. Iron-making is a kind of cookery on a huge scale. The earthy impurities must be "roasted" or melted out from the iron ore; the necessary carbon must then be properly mixed in from the fuel, or the unnecessary carbon burned out. This is of manufacture, sys R. R. Bowker in Harper's Maga zine. A wrought-iron bar or plate is always obtained from a puddle ball, an aggregation of grains of iron in a pasty, semi-fused condition, inter spersed with a greater or lesser amount of cinder or slag. Under the powerful action of the rolls the grains are welded together, and a large part of the cinder is squeezed out, but enough remains interposed between the iron granules to prevent them from welding thoroughly and forming a homogeneous mass. The welded lumps elongate under the process of rolling, and the resulting bar resem bles a bunch of iron fibers or sinews with minute particles of slag inter spersed here and there. Such iron varies in resistance according to whether the power is applied with or against the fiber. Steel is the result of a fusing process. It may be crucible, Bessemer, or open-hearth steel, but in all cases it has been cast from a thor oughly melted and fluid state into an ingot mold, where it solidifies and is ready for subsequent treatment, such as hammering or rolling. The slog being lighter than the steel, it rises on top of the melted bath, and does not mingle with the metal, which remains clean and unobstructed, and, after be ing cast into the mold, cools Into a crystalline homogeneous mass in which no amount of rolling can devel op a fiber. Thus steel possesses a structure more tegular and compact than wrought iron. Its resistance to strains and stresses is more equal in all directions, and its adaptability to structural use is vastlv increased. PRETTY r-Aocb ucmHO VEILS. Hoarl.h Women Sometime. Let Thee. Hrraeit. Fall. Writing about Moorish women, Rich ard Hording Davis says: "There is something continually interesting in the muffled figures of the women. They make you almost ashamed of the uncovered faces of the American wom en in the town, and, in the lack of any evidence to the contrary, you begin to believe every Moorish girl you meet is as beautiful as her eves would make it appear that she is. "Those of the girls whose faces I saw were distinctly hondsome: they were the women Benjamin Constant paints in his pictures of Algiers, and about whom Pierre Lot! goes into ecstasies in his book on Tangiers. "The robe or clonk, or whatever the thing is they affect, covers the head like a hood, and with one hand they hold one of the folds in front of tbe face as high as their eyes. The only times I ever saw the faces of any of them were when I occasionally eluded Mohamed and ran off with a little guide called Isaac, the especial pro tector of two American women, who farmed him out to me when they pre ferred to stav in the hotel. "He isa particularly beautiful youth, and I noticed that whenever he was with me the cloaks of the women had a fashion of coming undone, and they would lower them for an instant and look at Isaac, and then replace them severely upon the bridge of the nose. Then Isaac would turn toward me with a shy, conscious smile, and then blush violently. Isano savs the voting men of Tangiers can tell wheth er or not a girl is pretty by looking at her feet. It is true that their feet are bare, but it struck me as a somewhat reckless test for seree'-'c"' a bride." "For Years," Bays Cabbii E. Stocewrll. ot Chester field, N.

Tliey came suddenly, at any hour of the day or night, lasting from thirty minutes to half a day, leaving as suddenly ; but, for several days after, I was quite pros trated and sore. Sometimes lite attacks were almost daily, then less frequent. After about Jour years of this suffering. I was taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and when I began to recover, I hart the worst attack of my old trouble I ever experlensed. At the first of the fever, my mother gave me Ayer's Pills, my doctor reeummending them as being better than anything he eould prepare. 1 continiierl taking these Pills, and so great was the benefit derived that during nearly thirty years I have had but one attack of my former trouble, whlcn yielded readily to the same remedy."
