NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
A. B. MONTI. P :'Wg r tc ifa- glfSj ''-l
There was sever B time in the history
of oar ooantry when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of ma jkind in
the faotory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as wU as in official
life, require oontinuai accessions to the
appurtenance and impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The 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 the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter bim from quickly oonoeiving the
remedy to overoome existing discrepan
cies. Too great care cannot be exer
o:ned in ohoosiug a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lout and destroyed io
innumerable instances by the employ
ment 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 the fee.

One day a caterpillar, a long brown
hairy one, crept into the cage. Where
it had come from no one knew, but
there it was treading its quiet way
across the cuge. The ateles spied it,
and stopping in his gymnastic exer
cises dropped to the ground to investi
jate the newcomer. For a short time
ise looked quizzically and- wonderingly
at the woolly object, which went qui

touched the caterpillar it curled up
into a hairy balL The monkey jumped

AYER'S
HAIR VIGOR
again and again, whenever the cater
pillar uncoiled itself and started for
some untold goal. At last a happy
thought struck the ateles. There was
a small stick in the cage, and grasping
this with both hands the valiant mon
key, with many a grewsome look upon
his face, started in to "do up" the un
canny intruder. He jabbed down at
the unoffending visitor several times
with a sadly inaccurate aim, hopping
back after each attempt and making
such comical faces that the unlookcrg
were fairly convulsed with laughter.
The dog-faced monkey alone was
still, silent and circumspect. At last,
after many attempts, the stick came
down flat on the caterpillar, crushing
out its life. The ateles bent forward
to seize the defunct crawler, and was
just about to make a meal of its poor
victim when there dropped from the
upper perch, on tbe spider-legged
simian, the dog-faced monkey, who
quickly demolished the remains of the
caterpillar, while the ateles gave vent
