There ar.is never a time in the history of our country when the demand for inventions nnd improvements in the arte ant sciences generally was so great as now.

Th political ch'ines in the administra tion of a.iv.voineiit does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who betug on ihe. Hierl, and ready to per ceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit tlie niTiirs of government to de ter bim from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great c ire cannot be exer-o;-ed in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare Hnd prosecute bd application for patent. Valuable in terest Lave been lost and destroyed in innnrasrable instances bv the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is this advioe applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" sjHtein.

"Among the miiny testimonials which I ee in regard to certain medicines perform ing cures, cleansiug the blood, etc.," writes IliiNitv Hudson, of the James Smith Woolen Machinery Co., Philadelphia, Pa., "none impress me more than my own cue. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and became running sores. Our family physician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my good old mother urged roe to try Ayer' Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. Only the scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am In the best of health. I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sarsaparilla advertised In all parts of the United States, and always take pleas ure In telling what good it did for me."

While other folks have to go to b-'d early, tbe editor sits up lute at night and sees all that is going on. When I am a man I mean to be au editor, so that I may stay out late at night.

Philadelphia, York and Lancaster Rose. Those familiar with Shakespeare re member that the two antagonistic houses of York and Lancaster had their followers distinguished by one side carrying white roses and the other red roses. There is in cultivation a rose called the York and Lancaster on account of striped white and red lines pervading the petals these colors, of course, represent the two houses united. Just what particular species of roses were chosen has alwavs had an interest for the critical student. A recent notice In the Quarterly Review decides that the white rose of York j was tho English whit rose.

The ease was attended by our physician, and was supposed to he well under control. One night I was startled bv the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it stran gling. It had nearly ceased to breathe. Realizing that the child's alarming condition had become possible in spite of the medicines given, I reasoned that such remedies would he of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral In the house, I gave the child three doses, at short Intervals, and anxiously waited results.

I didn't say it was mine, but just let them infer it. It was there still; the owner had never called for it proba bly never knew where it had been left.
