PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere wan never a time in tbe history
of our country when tbe demand for
inventions and improvements in tbe arts
and soienoes generally was no great as
now. The conveniences of me jkind in
the faotory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as well as in official
life, require continual accessions to tbe
appurtenance and impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
Tbe political change in the administra
tion of government does not affeot the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to per
ceive tbe existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter bim from quickly oonoeiving tbe
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great osre cannot be exer
cised in oboosing a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests bave been lout and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employ
merit of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowanoe and obtain tbe fee.

" When I was one year old, my mamma died

Antiquity of Bell Founding.
The art of bell founding is undoubted
ly of great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
to them in terms which seem to show
that they were not unfamiliar thincs.
The towers of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abhev. in
South Lincolnshire, there was a famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
fter were the chief practitioners of the
art of bell founding which indeed is one
of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to us. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, the point of which is
quite lost. More often they were of a re
ligious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with a dash of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons of the air who
caused pestilence and famine, lightning
and thunderstorms.
M a rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, a defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
researches of many enthusiastic camna-
nologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history of bells shrouded in dark
ness for a long time to come. Gentle

Here is a curious little story told by
an English solicitor. He had among
his clients a few years ago a notorious
company promoter, whose financial af
fairs came to grief. One day, happen

attention was attracted by a portrait
of Mr. , the well-known barrister.
Mr. was attired in a wig and gown
and in his hand he held a paper on
which the solicitor's sharp eyes caught
the name of his client. His curiosity

Just a word about this Charrinortnn
mission, which is a feature of the east
end. Frederick Charrington belongs to
a wealthy fumily of brewers. About 17
years ago he began to do a sort of street
missionary work in East London, near
his father's brewery. His father threat
ened to disinherit him, but finallv left
him a share, though not a full share, in
the business. Once, on beinff taunted
on the street with wearing the blue rib
bon "What does it cost vou to wear
that ribbon?" he was able to renlv
"A hundred thousand dollars."
He sold out his interest in the breworv
to his brothers and built in Mile End
road, the prolongation of Whitechanel.
tho Great Assembly hall, which had been
projected but never begun by Keith
Falconer. Every Sunday night 3,000 or
more people gather at the evangelistic
service of the mission, and its fellowship
society, with the constant religious, edu-
1, eational and entertainment work center
ing at the (ireat Assembly hall, makes it
a power for good in a district which con
tains a number of powers for evil. Lon

Remarkable Tenacity of Life.
The pious Dr. Shirely Palmer tells a
fish story that is calculated to make the
members of the St. Louis Hunting and
Pishing association (to use a strictly
original expression) "turn green with
envy." By some hook or crook hook
no doubt Mr. Palmer came into pos
session of a fine brace of tench. Thev
were a lively pair of finny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in a pail of wator, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about the matter. That nitrht at
midnight he was aroused, so he says, by
a groan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder. Inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor, every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner, but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hav
ing undergone the process of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element.
This is told as a scientific fact, not as
a "fish story" or in the way of a joke.

has done all she could to protect and
prolong the usefulness of the eye. No
earthly architect ever yet planned a
structure that would not yield, crumble
and fall, and the house human, so ex
quisitely uplifted in curious and mys
terious ways, falls aud returns to dust

but it is by no means sure that anv-
thing is gained in the way of safety
by taking a train which runs twenty
miles an hour instead of one which
goes five times as rapidly. On an Eng-
nsn railway a high rate of speed is
maintained, and this, when kent at

stops, is found to be safer than the
slower rate, stopping often and sub

"What on earth was that whistle blow
ing for all night?" asked a girl of
twelve years of her mother while on
a sound steamer. "That is a fog horn,
my dear," was the reply. The little
girl, tif course, wanted to know what a
fog horn was, and her mother ex
plained that when there was a heavy
fog the oteam whistle was blown while
it lasted. "Hut why?" persisted the
young inquirer. "I should think that
anybody could see there was a fog, and
wnat is the use of blowing a whistle
to tell them about it, when there it is
if they want to look at it?" The poor
mother sighed and gave it up.
Kxcuaahle Ignorance.
It is often said that one of the best
ways of learning a thing is to teach it
to others; but the rule does not al
ways hold good. Says a correspondent
of the Huston Transcript: One day my
brother went to buy a bushel of buck
wheat for sowing. The man of whom
he was to get it was away, but his wife
was at home, and undertook to make
the sale. She got a peck measure, and
they went to the granary. There the
woman filled the measure twice, poured
the contents into the bag, and was pro
ceeding to tie it.
"Hut Mrs. F ," said my brother,
"it takes four pecks to make a bushel."
"Oh, does it?" said she. "Well, you
see, I never had any experience in
measuring grain before I was married.
I always taught school."

that my breast seemed as if conllned in an
