PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere waa never a time in the history
of our ooantry wben the demand for
inventions end improvements in the arts
and scienoes generally was so great as
dow. The conveniences of mtMkind in
the fnotory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as well as in official
life, require oontinual accessions to the
appurtenanoe ana impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra
tion of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to per
ceive the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter him from quickly oouoeiving the
remedy to overoome existing discrepan
cies. Too great care cannot be exer
owed in ohoosing a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "Mo patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this olass of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quiok endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee.

"For Years,"
Says Carrie E. Stockwell, of Chcstpr
fleld, N. II., 'I was afflicted with an
extremely severe pain in the lower part of
the cliest. The feeling was ai if a ton
weight was laid
on a spot the size
of my hand. Din
ing the attacks, the
puispiraMon would
stand in drops on
my face, and it was
agony for me to
make s u fii c i e n t
effort even to whis
pur. They came
suddenly, at any
hour ol the day or
night, lusting H orn
thirty minutes to
half a day, leaving as suddenly; hut, for
several days after, I was quite pros
trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks
were almost daily, then loss frequent. After
about four years of this suffering, I was
taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and
when I began to recover, I had the worst
attack of my old trouble I ever experienced.
At the first of the fever, my mother gave
me Ayer's Fills, my doctor reeoinineuding
them as being better thai. anytlilriK lie
could prepare. I continued taking these
Tills, and so great was the benefit derived
that during nearly thirty years I have had
but one attack of my former trouble, which
yielded readily to the same remedy,"

MY FIRST DUEL.
"Who ia that pretty girl who bowed
to you?"
"That id Cannon Ellauri do Unrein."
Aa ho spoke an amused smile passed over
tho face of Carlos Gonzales.
This short eonversation was held be
tween two young men one afternoon as
they stood under tho arcade of Lft Con
fiU'ria del Agnelli, in Calle Florida, in
tho city of liuonos Ayres.
Both young men belouged to the gilded
youth of our city, and having very little
to do were amusing themselves by
watching all the pretty girls pass along
tho C-ullo Florida.
"Why do you smile;"' asked Pr. Fed
erieo Pinaros, who hod been the first
one to speak.
"You would also smile," answerer!
Carlos, "if you hail made a fool of your
self about a woman, sent her enough
flowers every day to adorn a church,
stayed awake all night to write a few
lines of jxwtry to send her; danced with
her so often that every one said, 'Oh,
yea, they are going to be married;' fought
duel for her, and then had that very
$ajae woman pass you iu tha Btreot with
cool bow aud completely ignore you
Otherwise."
"You fought a duel, why?" asked
Federico.
"It is a long tale, aud it happened
whilo you were in Taris studying medi
cine. I presume you never heard of it?"
"If I did, 1 do not romomlvr now,"
answered Dr. lMnaroa. "Now. Carlos,
tell uie all about it."
"It is nearly half past 6. Let go
to tha Cafa de Paris au4 bay dinner.
B 1 R M 13 2
There, alter dinner, 1 will tell you tne
story."
The two young men proceeded toward
Piedad street and entered the brilliantly
lighted restaurant of the Cafe de Paris.
After a costly dinner, for in Buenos
Ayres everything is costly, they asked
for their coifue and chartreuse, and Car
los Gonzales commenced his story:
"Three years ago I would have gone
fighting vindmills, a flock of sheep, or
worse, like Don Quixote, had any one
told me that Carmencita Ellauri was not
the prettiest girl in Buenos Ayres; but
for that matter 1 could name you half
a dozen men who thought the same
thing, and among them was Ernesto
Frias.
"You perhaps remember what great
friends Ernesto and I once were, but
when we both began courting Carmen
all our friendship flew away upon the
wings of the wind.
"Carmen certainly gave me reason to
think that she was serious, and I sup
pose sho did the same to Frias, for many
people believed she would marry him.
"One night it was really 2 o'clock in
the morning we were playing cards at
the Club did Progreso, when between
two games one of the men remarked,
'By the way, Frias, when does the wed
ding como off ':'
" ' What wedding?' lie asked.
" 'Why, your marriage with Carmen
cita Ellauri.'
" 'Now, don't be foolish,' Frias calmly
said; 'go on; give me my cards.'
"All the men laughed, and one of them
said:
" 'Silence gives consent, and so we
may believe that you are engaged to her.
Well, let me congratulate you.' And so
saying he slapped Frias on the shoulder.
"Frias only smiled complacently, and
they continued their raillery until I
could stand it no longer, inasmuch as I
had been on fire during all the conversa
tion, so I lifted my head and said as
calmly as I could:
" 'Gentlemen, it is in very bad taste to
thus use tho name of a lady, and any one
who does it or allows it without rosent
big the insult is a coward.'
"Ernesto turned pale, and pushing
baok his chair rose to his feet.
" 'Am I to understand that this insult
is directed to me?' he asked.
" 'I care not what you understand,' I
answered; 'I expressed my sentiment.'
" 'And do yon know what my senti
ment is?' he asked. 'I think that you are
the greatest coward for daring to take
that lady's name as a basis for a scandal
and a imai-rcl.'
"Blind with fury, I advanced toward
Frias, and with my open palm smote his
cheek lightly. Ernesto clinched his fists
and made a move toward me, but some
of his friends held him ba;k, as others
wero holding tne. Ernesto took out his
cardense, and witli trembling fingers
opened it, got a card, throw it on the ta-:
bleand said: 'I hope that Senor Gonzales
will not bo coward enough to refuse to
meet me. Tomorrow, or rather today,
at 10 o'clock in the morning, I will send
him my seconds.'
" 'Mine will bo ready to meet those of
Senor Frias,' 1 wremouionsly answered.
" 'Well,' I thought on leavingthe club,
'hero I am engaged in a duel, but I don't
care; I was defending her; besides I shall
have tho choice of weapons, and cer
tainly I shall choose swords.'
"I was un expert with the sword, ns 1
had taken lossons from tho celebrated
Italian professor, Signor Spadachini, s
my mind wa i perfectly at peacn.
"When I reached home I wroto two ol
threo let turn to friends of mine, who 1
knew would be my seconds, ordered my
servant to take the letteni to their re
spective addresses as soon as it became
light, and then went to bed and slept
Calmly until 8 o'clock.
"At about 0 I saw my seconds and
gave them my instructions. I was rather
excited until 1 saw thorn airain. neavlv
tour hours later, when they acquainted
nio wilh tho result of their interview.
We were to go to Montevideo to fight,
for, as yon know, dueling is forbidden
on Argentino soil. Tho meeting would
take place next day at 2 o'clock p. in. in
the country house of a friend of one of
my seconds.
"In the meantime tho story of our
quarrel had become public property and
the afternoon paper were full of it. I
managed to elude all the reporters, and,
safe from annoyance, took the steamer
bound for Montevideo that evening.
Next morning I landed in that city
very much the worse for a terrible storm
that wo had encountered in crossing
over.
"I slept nearly all tho morning, and
at noon they called mo to dinner. I
could not eat a mouthful of anything,
and by a quarter past 1 I stepped into
tho carriage that was to convey me to
tho meeting place.
"Wo arrived there all too soon, it
seemed to me; but no, Ernesto Frias, with
his seconds, was there, and also a physi
cian ready tor whatever emergency
might arise.
"When all the usual formalities had
been observed wo began our duel.
"Ernesto is a good swordsman and so
am I. Wo both went through tho forms
of attack and defense with such skill
that it would have inafte glad the heart
of our teachers had they seen us.
"One mortal hour elapsed and not a
scratch ha 1 either of us received. The
thing was getting to bo, to say the least,
slightly monotonous, and so I liegan to
charge more impetuously. Frias de
fended himself in a masterly manner. I
began to lose my head. Presently I felt
something cold and sharp pierce my
tipper arm. Iu drawing out tho sword
blood followed it. Our seconds imme
diately stopped between us, and the doc
tore tore elf tho sleeve of my left arm
and disclosed to my eyes a suiall wound
between the elbow and the shoulder.
"Frias declared that he was satisfied,
and so was 1, so our seconds solemnly
taid, 'The honor of both gentlemeu is
vindicated.' Our courage was now un
questionable. We shook hands, and sc
ended uiv first, and oulv atTaire d'hon-
neur."
"Yes, but what et tho rest, the lady,
etc.," asked Dr. Pinares.
"Oil, the papers were full of it souio
praising, a few censuring, but on the
whole it was very flattering to Frias,
and a little to myself. As for her well,"
laughing, "Uiat is what amused mo. Sho
would not see either of us after the af
fair, and a month later she married Don
Tablo Garcia, a very wealthy merchant.
It socjus that sho was engaged to him
during all the time wheu she u mak
ing fools of Frias and mo." Translated

IVORY AND ITS USES.
WHY CARVED ORNAMENTS IN IVORY
ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.
There Are Few Expert Worker. In Ivory
In Tllia Country The Price of Elephant.'
' Tflska Has Not Greatly Changed In Re-
cent Year. A Costly Lnxnry.
When Whitelaw Reid was in search of
B workman to decorate apartments at
Ophir Farm with rich aud beautful an
tiques brought over from Europe he
found that there was but one man in
America who could do such work, and
he lay sick. Had Mr. Reid been in search
of skilled ivory carvers he would have
found them almost as scarce. There are
not above throe or four ivory carvers of
approved skill in New York, and hardly
so many in all tho rest of the country.
The men who do such work are paid
high wages the year round, whether
busy or idle. They are Frenchmen, Ger
mans and Italians. Of the three the
Italians are perhaps the most skillful,
since ivory carving has been an art in a
high degree of perfection among the
Italians for centuries. The most famous
ivory carver living, however, is a French
man, Moreau Vauthier. Few of his
masterpieces have been seen in America,
though two were sold at the famous
Morgan art sale of a few years ago, and
two more, held at a great price, are now
in the possession of a noted American
jeweler.
The ivory carvers of this country do
little or nothing in the East Indian or
Japanese manner, nor do they occupy
themselves with figure work. Their chief
employment is in producing decorative
toilet and stationery articles. The rage
for stained and carved ivory is of recent
growth in the United States, and the de
mand for such articles is not large, as
they are more costly than the same
articles in silver would be. They were
produced to tickle the jaded sesthetic
palates of the rich and luxurious, and
only those who may trifle away what
they will indulge themselves to any
considerable degree in carved ivory.
In all such articles the cost of the raw
material is small in comparison with
that of the labor. Billiard balls are
costly because they contain large quan
tities of the finest ivory cut from the
best part of the tusk. The labor cost of
billiard balls is trifling, as they are
turned by machinery and rapidly. Thus
it often happens that a single small arti
cle, richly stained and carved, will cost
five times as much as a billiard ball con
taining ten times the weight of ivory.
The carvers of ivory use much the same
tools as the wood carvers, but of lighter
and more delicate make. The work ia
extremely tedious and laborious.
The carving is usually done in low re
lief, and the subjects are such as are
suitable to this treatment Persian de
signs in delicate curves, the cactus, with
some varieties of palm, and hints caught
from those marvelously simple but ar
tistic carvings of the Alaskan Indians.
The ivory is stained slightly, so as to
bring out the design, and is permitted to
absorb moisture, which it readily does,
in order to give it that frosh look com
mon in newly manufactured articles of
ivory. Tho ni t of Btaining ivory is a
secret guarded well by the carvers.
Some notion of the cost of ivory carv
ing may be had from the fact that, while
a hand mirror framed in plain ivory may
be had for ten or twelve dollars, a mir
ror in carved ivory may cost $100 or
more. The small articles in carved
ivory cost from five to twenty-five dol
lars, and a toilet set in that material
may fetch as high as $500. The Ameri
can climate, with its extremes of heat
and cold, is very trying upon ivory, and
ivory backed mirrors of European manu
facture almost invariably crack across
the back after a few months of use upon
this side of the Atlantic. The American
manufacturers have hit upon the expe
dient of leaving a space botweon glass
and frame in order to allow for contrac
tion and expansion.
' Nearly all the ivory brought to the
United States is bought in the great Lon
don market, where the price is knocked
about by bulls and bears, who corner
ivory as they corner wheat or corn. The
African rather than the Asiatic ivory is
brought to this country, though one of
the largest tusks ever seen in this mar
ket that of a sacred East Indian ele
phanthas just been mounted in orien
tal style as a trophy of the chase. The
tusk measures more than six feet in
length and retains the marks it bore when
worn by the sacred beast to which it be
longed. Thanks to the predatory and
murderous industry of Tippu Tib and
his black Zanzibaris the supply of ivory
has kept pace with the increased demand
resulting from its extended use in this
country, and the price for the raw ma
terial has not permanently advanced.
. Few tasks of more than five feet in
length come to this country, and many
are less than four feet long. Many of
the tusks reach here after having been
buried in Africa for years to save them
from thievish enemies of the savage
owners. Every tusk must go through a
process of seasoning, long or short, ac
cording as the process is natural or arti
ficial, before it is made up into articles
of ornament or use. It is difficult to ob
tain a perfect slab of ivory more than
six inches in diameter, as the upper em'
of the tusk, which is the thickest, is ho!
tow and the material is coarser than thai
in tne souu part ot the cuss.
From the latter are made billiard balls
and the most beautifully carved article
for the toilet aud the writing desk
From the coarser parts are made pokei
Chips, buttons and a hundred small ar
ticles. Every part of the tusk is put to
use. Even tho chips aud sawdust art
converted into ivory black by burning
New York Sun.
A Inscription of the Uearu
litre is a question and answer of a
high school pupil:
Briefly describe the heart and its fune
j tions or work. The heart is a comical
shaped bag. The heart is divided into
several parts by a fleshy petition. These
j parts are called right artillery, left ar
; tillery, and so forth. The function of
j the heart is between the lungs. The
, work of the heart is to repair the differ

SUFFICIENT UNTO HERSELF.
The Ynunt Woman Had No Need of As
sistance of Any Kind.
The kind-hearted old gentleman
watched the young woman seated next
to him iu the elevated train with in
terest, says the New York World. She
held a magazine in her hands with the
leaves uncut. Sho looked through tho
table of content" and raited the cor
nersi of tha leaves so an to yet a glimpse
of various Illustrations. The old gen
tleman drew out. nis pocKeianue Hesi
tatingly. He opened it still more hesi
tatingly. The young woman seemed
entirely oblivious of his acts and evi
dent intentions, but their fellow pas
uhle to. arouse a irrcat
deal of interest in the proceeding.
Finally, just as tne om gentiemuo
reached forward, extending his knife,
the young woman dexterously drew
out a hatpin and began cutting the
1 l V,o.. Tnntrfty.illR. The old ren-
icatcn " . '
tleman leaned back and delivered him
self of a confidential aside to the man
next to him:
"t hnt! hoard." he said, "that women
can do anything with their hairpins
and hatpins, but at any rate mey u
need a knife to sharpen pencils."
And at that moment the provoking
young woman drew a pencil from her
reticule, bit the wood off the top of it,
and made a note on the article she was
reading. The car giggled and the old
gentleman began to read his paper
with an Injured air.
SCHOOLBOY PHILOSOPHY.
Answers for Every Question the Teacher
Can Ask.
The schoolboy has queer ideas some
times, says the Great Divide, as is
demonstrated by the following answers
given to teachers in search of informa
tion: A poor boy was asked: "What is
a gentleman?" "A fellow that has a
watch and chain," he replied, adding,
when he saw that his answer was not
perfectly satisfactory, "and loves
Jesus." "Medieval is a wicked man
who has been tempted." "A dema
gogue is a vessel containing beer and
other liquids." "Tom, use a sentence
with responsibility in it." Tom said:
"When one suspender button is gone
there is a great deal of responsibility
on the other one."
"What is a lad?" inquired the
teacher. A very small girl answered:
"A thing for courting with." "Give
the future of drink." "Present, he
drinks; future, he will be dim!t."
"The plural for pillow." "hob.ter."
"Compare ill." "Ill, worse, dead."
This recalls the answer of the hoy who
said: "Masculine, man; feminine,
woman; neuter, corpse." "Who was
the first man?" said a teacher.
"Washington," promptly answered
the young American.
"No," said the teacher, "Adam was
the first man." "Oh. well, 1 suppose
you are right," replied the undaunted
patriot, "if you refer to Xurriners."
"How did that blot come on your copy
book, Sam?" "I think it is a tear,
Miss Wallace." "How could tear be
black, Sam?" "It must have been a
colored boy who dropped it," suggested
the reflective Samuel. "What made
the tower of Pisa lean?" "The famine
in the land."

On the shores of Brittany there is a
mysterious relic of forgotten ages
which escapes the attention of most
travelers. Far out in the Moribnn sea
across which legend tells us Arthur
sailed with his knights in pursuit of
the dragon rises a little island. It
can be reached in a boat from the
coast only in a calm sea. A Breton
shepherd has a solitary hut upon it
and feeds a few sheep.
Crossing the grassy slope off which
they browse, the traveler finds himself
at the foot of the hill, in the face of
which has been excavated a great tun
nel or cave, floored, walled and roofed
by huge flat rooks.
Some archamlogists say that this cav
ern was the work of the worshipers of
the serpent god of Hoa a race that has
passed into oblivion.
The learned traveler knows only that
the mysterious cavern antedates all
history; that the rocks of which it is
built came from the mainland, a dis
tance of more than one hundred miles
inland. No rocks like them make any
part of the geological formation of the
island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would re
quire vast labor and skill to bring these
enormous blocks of stone and place
them so securely as to defy the wear
and friction of ages.
How were they brought here by men
who had, perhaps, few mechanical ap
pliancesnothing but the strength of
their bodies and their faith in a strange
god?
The race who built the temple are
dust. Even their names ages ago per
ished from the earth. Their religion
is vanished. These stones are the mon
umentsof their indomitable resolution.
That defies the flight of years.
A WONDERr-UL BlrtD-WEAVER.
How the llaltimore Oriole Builds (lis
Cozy Swinging Kent.
The lialtimore oriola is a prince in a
house of princes, says a writer in
Scribuer's Magazine. The family to
which he belongs is composed of birds
remarkable either for plumage, note,
nest.eg'tfs or.habit. Each can claim something-
curious and original; but the
llaltimore shines in every one of these
particulars, for in plumage, song and
nest alike he is an especially remark
able bird. When the earl of Baltimore
became the lord of Maryland his fol
lowers quickly noticed the correspond
ence between his heraldic livery of
orange and black and the orange and
black of the splendid bird that so
abounded in the new estates, so that,
very naturally, the name "Baltimore
bird'1 was suggested ami has been
borne ever since.
His nest is one of the most wonder
ful examples of bird-weaving in exist
ence. It is made of separate threads,
strings, horsehair or strips of bark,
closely interwoven into a sort of sack,
and so firmly knit together that it will
bear a weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. In the southern parts of this
bird's range the nest is suspended from
two or throe terminal twigs for pro
tcMion from numerous enemies, such
ns snakes, opossums and the like; it
in also made six or seven inches in
depth to prevent the eggs being thrown
out by the high winds. But in the
colder north, where tree-climbing foes
are rare, it is hung, not at the extrem
ity of the brauches, but in a cluster of
twigs that affords shelter. It is much
shallower than when exposed to the
wind, but is very thickly woven and
lined with soft, warm materials. The
oriole's loud. life like iuUm ringing
from the big U t.tu.--tup iu the morning
are ao ample refutation of the old
theory that melody and bright plum
age hare never been bestowed on the
same bird.
Knglaxt has twenty-seven dukes,
Scotland seven, Irelaud two.
Bishops have made experimental use
of nearly all the titles in existence.
Tkfre are in England, according to
Lodfire, only seven peers flf the blood
royal.
