PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. Tbere was never a time in the history of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mejkind in the faotory and workshop, the household and on the farm, as well as in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenance and impliments of each in order to save labor, time and expense. The political ohange 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 the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter bim from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great care cannot be exer cised in cliooaing 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 mont 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 tbiB class of attorneys do bo at imminent risk, as 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, THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager 018 FBtreet, N. W.tWashington, D. C, representing a large number of impor tant daily and weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the country, was in stituted to oroteot its natrons from the unsafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business. The said Com pany is prepared to tuko charge of all patent business entrusted to it for rea sonable feea, and prepare and prosecute applications generally, including me ohanioal inventions, design patents, trade-marks, labels, copyrights, interfer ences, infringements, validity reports, and Rives especial attenion to rejected cases. It is also prepared to enter into competition with any firm in securing foreign patents. Write for instructions und ail vice. John Wkdiikiuhikn. tilH F Htroet, p. O. Box H5.

Another Snake Story A resident of St. Clairsville, Pa., vouches for the following snake story "William Brown, & friend of his, found nn artificial egg floating in the river, and it being a good imitation of a hen's egg he cut his initials on it and used it for a nest egg. Last June his mother went to the nest and found a blacksnake In possession. In a few days the egg was missing. One day last week Lou Augustine killed a large blacksnake, and noticing a lump on it stepped on it and out came the artificial egg with 'W cut on it." Philadelphia Ledger. A Philosophic YoungsteK A youthful correspondent writes as follows: "The reason why elephants is so smart is because they is like women. Elephants is afraid of micos, and so is women. Women is smarter than men, and as elephants is like women, some elephants must be smarter than some men." Such logic cannot be overcome. No doubt there are a good many elephants smarter than some men. New York Tribune. THE WASHINGTON FAMILY. tn tho presidential campaign of 1876 it was often remarked as a curious coinci dence that of the men elected president every third one was childless. The list run: Washington, Madison, Jackson Polk, Buchanan and but there seems to have been a break in the line, bo that the omen failed on Tilden. It is also worthy of renmrk that these childless men had singularly happy home lives, and none more so than George Washington. Martha Dandridge was a beauty and a Virginia belle when at seventeen she married Daniel Parke Custis. Of their lour children two preceded their father to I he tomb, and when the Widow Custis married George Washington in 1759 she had but a son and a daughter. History gives us a few exquisite glimpses of the home life of Washington for the next few years. He and his wife were, very uearly of the same ago: both born in HiVy. both were wer V A . refined and of the highest staudir Huong their Vir ginia contemporary. Jv ashington loved the two children 'Jfi- own. There was nothing to mar tyiomestic life. Cut in 1773 Maru'a Parke Custis died, and Washington was long affected with a strange restlessness. Indeed his do mestic life never again seemed so calm till after the Revolution. Martha was sometimes called the "dark lady" or "dark beauty" because of her brunette complexion, but she was both beautiful and amiable. The son, John Parke Custis, at the age of nineteen married one of the famous Calvert family at Bal timore, but he, too, died young died of camp fever at Vorktown soon after the surrender, leaving four children. Of these General nnd Mrs. Washington adopted two, and these constituted the Washington family seen in the familiar pictures. Eleanor Parke Custis, the daughter, was so young at her father's death that she knew no home bnt Mount Vernon, In 1709 she became the wife of Major Lowis, Washington's sister's son. The eon was the well known George Wash ington Parke Custis, an author of some note, who acquired the famous Arlington estate, where he died in 1857. His only child, a daughter, married Robert E. Lee, who thus became the owner of Arlington. J, H. B. Hiving Swarm, on gtarter.. Beekeeping in the northern states is a different thing from beokeeping at the south, writes a Texas correspondent in The American Bee Journal. He says: Mr. Hutchinson conies out with un article on hiving bees on starters, or in empty hives, as the best method. Well, he is all right for Michigan, but all wrong for Texas. It will not pay to hive our early swarms on only starters, or, worse still, empty frames. Our early swarms are of no use whatever only to perpetu ate tho colony and the means of our having a booming colony two months later. We get no two of the bees that compose our early swarms for storing surplus honey. Now, should we have a swarm just as onr harvest begins, the way they have it in Michigan, by this method we may push the bees riglit into the sections and get a fair yield from the very bees that compose the swarm. So I say, give me all the nice brood combs I want and watch me gain ground on the beekeeper that hives his swarms on starters and in empty hives. Setting Strawberry riant.. Every farm ought to have a good, big strawberry bed. Here are some direc tions given iu a report of the Ohio Hor ticultural society: "For spring planting select a rich, moist soil exposed to the uu and free from roots and grubs. Make it fine, deep and mellow. Take up strong, healthy plants of the previous year's growth, remove dead loaves, shorten the roots to three inches and curry them iu a pail of water. Give constant and clean cultivation. Stir the soil very often. Cut of! all tins year s blossoms and all runners till July. Then leave two of the strongest runners to each plant to root and grow. Cover in November all bsre ground between plants with uiauure, and when winter sets in the -hols Is t be covered with fine manure, leaving leaves snd crown Another plan, popular and excellent, is to plant in July or August ou rich and well prepared ground in rowa two feet apart, or three feet for horse culture. Keep the runners off the first year." ThiiiK Told by I'oulti-yuicn. An Ohio fajowr avers that "light Prob biM r whiter lsrr." SAVED BY A EAT. Thrilling Experience in a Caving Arizona Mine. lb. Rodent Burrow. Bit War to an Im nrlond Mine Borreyur. In Tbl. Man ner Supplying Ulm with tbe Needed Air. "You were asking about that stuffed rat in my room," said Prof. Churchill, the mining expert, to a New York Sun man. "The story concerns an expe rience that made my hair curl. I was once retained to report upon the work ings of a mine called the Little Whoop l"p, in southern Arizona. On an ad joining claim was another mine called the Atlas. A dispute arose. The Atlas people claimed that the lower tunnel of the Whoop Up had been bored into their ground and a half million in ore taken out. The first thing to do was to make a survey of the Whoop Up, and, of course, the Whoop Up peo ple objected. Finally an order for the survey was secured from the court and Dr. John R. I'arks and I were sent to make the survey. There are tricks in all trades, and the Whoop Up superin tendent knew a few. When we reached the mine he said the tunnel we wished to explore was in a dangerous condition. There had been a cave, the timbers were rotten, and so on. It meant a ten to one chance that we would bo crushed if we tried it. Of course, we classed him as a liar, though he turned out to be right. "We worked our way in the tunnel until we ran against a jam of fallen timbers which were sound and were plainly arranged to stop our progress. Parks went back for an ax, while I worked at the roof with a pick to dis lodge the center pieces. I succeeded and had climbed half way over into the other side of the tunnel when there came a terrific crash of loose ore from the roof. It fell on both sides of the timbers, pinning me in a hole which would have been a grave right there but for a few sticks which held the mass of ore above. The place was barely large enough to move in, and I knew it was certain death in a few hours unless Parks could dig me out. Even then I bulieved I was gone, for I did not know how much ore had fallen. In a few minutes the air got heavy, and my eyes began to feel drowsy, and it seemed like the roof and sides of tho hole were closing in on me. This op pression and drowsiness increased until I was forced to hammer the sides of the place with my fists and head to keep awake. Still not a sound could I lnar from the outside, and only the slow crumbling of ore from above. The foul air was getting iuto my brain, and I think I was actually insane with the fearful dread of being buried alive. Anyhow, I remember of dropping to the iloor of the hole, and giving a few fuint shouts which echoed back into my ears. I had given up all hope, and was almost swooning when I heard a strange scraping sound above me. I yelled, but received no answer, and then I threw my body against the walls and tried to pick out the ore from be tween the lodged timbers. Still came the queer, scraping noise which seemed to corns nearer and nearer and sounded not unlike the steady grinding of a saw. It seemed to last for hours, though it could hardly have been a minute after when a bit of eartn dropped to my feet from the upper end of the wall, and along with it came a big gray mine rat, who saved my life, for he had left a clear hole for his trail, and through it came a breath of fresh air that gave life to me. The fellow had bored his way from the shaft side of the cave. I stayed there two hours after that, until Parks found the cave (rot helD. 'aud got me out without breaking the air hole. I caught the gray rat, too, and kept him well fed until he died, and wouldn't take a lot of money for his skin now." NAPOLEON WAS IN SING SING. Lock.d lTp by a Kenper While on of Inspection In 1X37. a Visit It is not generally known to the world at large, says the New York Times, that Emperor Napoleon III. of Prance was once behind the bars in Sing Sing prison. In the spring of 18:57 Prince Louis Napoleon, afterward Napoleon III. .emperor of France, made a visit to Washington Irving at sunny side, a little north of Irvington-on-the Hudson, accompanied by a young French count, and escorted by Anthony Constant, of Hastings. rrince JNapo- Icon expressed a desire to visit the prison at Sing Sing, and Mr. Constant drove him there. Upon arriving at the prison the party was welcomed by v ar- den Rowel, who, after taking them into his apartments, explained the means that had been attended with the most successful and beneficial re sult3 in the government of the prison, The warden told the prince, who had been an interested listener, that he had a convict in the prison, a French man, who was an old soldier, claiming to have fought at Waterloo and to have been in several battles with Ivapoleon, the first emperor. The prince natural ly asked to see the man. The warden then explained that the prisoner was iu a dark cell for misconduct; that it was contrary to prison rules to take him out, but as the guests were going to visit the cells he would open the door of the Frenchman's cell. Then all followed the warden down the stairs and across the keyroom and the narrow passages to the galleries, where the cells were and are to this dav. He paused at the second cell on the right hand tier of the main gal leries and unlocked and opened the door. Louis Napoleon stepped inside. The warden, with a merry twinkle in his eye, turned the key and locked him in. 1 1 was too good an opportunity to be lost. The gentlemen were amused and brimming over with fun, when, after a momentary detention, the door was opened and the noble Frenchman joined them ouce more. They all en joyed the joke except the subject of it. His sallow countenance reddened per ceptibly for a time aud then he joined in the laugh raised at his expense.

A Rbmarkabla Instance of Fem inine Courage- Uligols.d In Doublet anil Hose tbe Young Spanish Maiden Moet. and Van quishes a Man in a DueL A famous heroine in her way was Catalina de Lrauso, still remembered vaguely as the "Spanish soldier nun." She left memoirs which have been translated or summarized or "romanci- fied" in most European tongues. The truth of them has been disputed, but the writer points out that, ution the other hand, popes and kings, nobles and servants accepted every word while evidence remained to support or question the statements, says the Phil adelphia Telegraph. Catalina ran avvav from a nunnery in San Sebastian at the age of fifteen, transformed her conventual habili ments into doublets and hose, and found employment as a page in the household of a noble at valladolirl. Driven from this refuge by the appear ance of lier tattler wno had no sus picion, nevertheless she joined an ex pedition sailing for Peru under charge of Ferdinand de Cordova. Her ship was wrecked off Pita and she alone re fused to desert the captain, who stood by his vessel. Catalina then built a little raft, broke open the treasure chest, took as much gold as she could carry and set off for the shore, but the captain was drowned embarking. She reached the town and accepted an en gagement as manager to the tailor who made her new clothes. Complica tions of business aud passion for a great lady fell iu love at sight led to first duel, in which she killed her man prompt!. The great lady smug gled her out of prison, but Cataliua found it necessary to repay this service by pushing the dame downstairs, prob ably breaking her neck. Then she jumped into a boat, put to sea, and was picked up by a Spanish vessel bound for Concepcion. At this place her brother was secre tary to the governor, and he, all un conscious of the relationship, go' her a commission in the army. Very soon afterward she distinguished herself in an engagement, and for twelve years ranked as one of the most brilliant of ficers of the Spanish service living mostly with her brother, but keeping the secret. This happy time came to J an end in a midnight duel, when she killed a man unknown, who proved to be this sume brother. Flying for me once more, Catalina crossed the Andes. AU her companions perished, but sho reached Tucuman after terrible adven tures. Another love affair, all on one side, and another fatal duel brought her literally to the gallows, but with the rope around her neck she escaped. Traveling on to ( uzco, slie joined an Alcalde with a pretty wife and a gen tleman, his friends. ' In a very few days Catalina perceived that these two had an understanding. The Alcalde perceived it also and took- an oppor tunity to murder his faithless frirH ' He would have murdered his wife, bnt Catalina snatched her to the saddle and rode furiously for Cuzeo. The AltaKlc iiuimiiug, bIic Citu liiiu bliiunti. but received a desperate wouutl. The fugitives got safely to the bishop's palace. Catalina knew, however, that her secret must be discovered now. She had just strength enough to reveal it to the bishop before fainting. The worthy man reported the whole story to the king, who sent orders that Cata lina should be dispatched by the next ship. All Spain declared for the hero ine. At her arrival Count Olivarez him self, the prime minister, met her; the king kissed her; the pope sent for and forgave her and Velasquez painted her portrait. HAD THE VINEGArt HABIT. Woman's Vanity i:ltim-iti! Coat Her Life by Stow rniytin "I once had a pjiMont," said a Roch ester (N. Y.) physical! to a St.. Louis reporter, "who poisoned herself with vinegar. "1 was never a burning and shining light in the medical profession, and hence it is not surprising that the case bullied ray investigation for a. year, though I have the consolation of knowing that four eminent physicians who were called in for consultation at tributed the lady's evident breaking ui to font- different causes, none of tlb?m remotely connected with the real one. The'chief symptom was lassitude and deathly whiteness, and the lady, who had no other companion but an ignorant, though faithful, colored at tendant, finally died before reaching her thirtieth year. "Subsequent investigation proved that she was a vinegar fiend, aud t'lat. while refusing food of every descrip tion, she was drinking large quantities of vinegar. As the habit grew upon her she secured stronger grades, until finally she was drinking acetic acid but very slightly diluted. There are cases on record of persons who have been poisoned by overdoses of vinegar, taken to improve the complexion, but this is the only case I ever heard of anyone acquiring a vinegar habit and pursuing it steadily until it caused death." There is considerable discussion just now, savs the Atlanta Journal, about the prospects of gold mining in the south. It is known that there vast quantity of gold-bearing rock in Maryland, lrginia, Iorth tarolina. Georgia aud Alabama. 1 hougii mil lions of gold have been taken out of those beds most of them hare not been thoroughly worked and many of them have been merely scratched. I p ti the time gold was discovered in Otli fomia there had been produced iu the United States 512,808,575, and all ex cept "fco.twO came from southern states Nearly all the previous gold mining in the south has been conducted on methods which are now obsolete. The improved methods of working sul- phuret ores open a new prospect for gold mining in the south. The official figures show that up to 1892 Georgia had produced S15,902.S00 worth of gold, North Carolina S-l.55,-844, and Virginia S3.1s9,(110. These are the official figures, but the real value of the gold product of these states has undoubtedly been much greater. Prof. Stone, after a visit to Califor nia iu 1S73, said that he was satisfied that the gold ores in the south are the richest aud easiest to work in this country. Recently there have been many prospectors through the gold re gions of the south and we look for in creased activity in gold mining in Georgia and every other squtliern Maw wMrt , t-,-- i, . ...
