PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. Tbere was never a time in the liistor of our country when the demuml for inventions end improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so great ae now. The conveniences of rnHjkitid in the factory and workshop, the household and on the farm, a well an in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenance and implimenta 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 dcfiaiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter bim from quickly oouoeiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great oare cannot be exer o:sed in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute au application for patent. Valuable in terests have been loat and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is tuiB advice applicable to those who adopt the 'No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do bo at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con nidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee.

Wooldkidoe, of Wortham, Texas, saved the life of her child by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "One of my children had Croup. The case was attended by our physician, and was supposed to he we'll under control. One night I was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it stran gling;, "ft hail nearly ceased to breathe. Realizing that the child's alarming condition had become possible in spite of the medicines f riven, I reasoned that such remedies would e of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Ayer'B Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing grew easier, and, in a short time, she was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day. and I do not hesitate to say that Ayer's Cherry Pec toral saved her life." AYER'S Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mast.

Mobile Has the Honor of Having Thl Beautlrul Mountain of Flowers. , "The largest rose bush in the United States is in Mobile, Ala.," said a citizen of New Orleans to a reporter for the St. Louis (ilobe-Democrat. "It belongs to the species which, in common par lance, is known as the cluster musk rose, and blossoms so luxuriously that during the season from three to four bushels of roses have been gathered in one week, and when shedding its petals the ground beneath is complete ly covered with its fragrant blossoms. Its trunk for five feet from the ground, is nearly a foot in circumfer ence, and it has been estimated that if its branches grew on one continuous vine it would exceed a mile in length. These branches have entirely covered the side of the house near which the bush grows, and have extended to the neighboring trees surrounding it, so that when it is in bloom it forms a per fect bower of roses." A recullar Frmich Law. The French are a most peculiar and exclusive people. A decree has just been signed by President Carnot for bidding the marriage of French diplo mates to foreign wives. This is merely the revival of an old law and is said to have been called out by the marriage of two French diplomats, l'atenotrc and Dauuay. to American wives. It is dis claimed that the edict is aimed directly at Americans, and the object is pre tended to lw the prevention of the "dis covery of secrets by foreigners through the wives of the ministry. The news papers quote several instances of this character, in which it is conjectured that important disclosures have been made by the wives of French diplo mates abroad. It is alleged that this is the main reason why President Car not signed the edict of prohibition, and it will prevent several marriaires which are on the tapis, notably that of the French minister at Athens to the daughter o the Itolittn minuter at Athn 'ALBERT FRANCELLTS I sit; With sho is the sweet - est rtr- est girl Iu all tha m all tho bloom - ing bloom - ing town.
