PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There was never a time in the history of our cocmtry when the demand for inventions Rnd improvements in the arts Bnd sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mankind in the fnotory Rnd workshop, the household and on the farm, as well as in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenance and impliments of ench 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 bim from quickly oonoeiving the remedy to overoome existing discrepan cies. Too great C3re cannot be exer crsed in ohooning 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 advioe applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this olasB of attorneys do so at imminent risk, aB the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to got an allowanoe and obtain the fee. THE F11E98 CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderbnrn, General Manager 018 F street, N. W.,Wasbington, D. C, representing a large number of impor tant daily and weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the eountry, was in stituted to oroteot its natrons from the ntisafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business. The said Oon piiny is prepared to take charge of all p iteut business entrusted to it for rea sonable fees, and prepare and proseoute applications generally, including me obnniaal inventions, design patents, trade-marks, labels, copyrights, interfer ences, infringements, validity reports, and gives especial attenion to rejected cases. It is also prepared to enter into competition with any firm in securing foreign patents. Write for instructions and ndvice. John Wbddbhih'HN. (US V Ktreet, p. O. Box 3H5. Washington, D. 0.

A ltrnhmtn'H llnit;ht.r Slunt Marry Very Marly nr Itt'r Kepiitatlon SufTera. The Brahmin has to not his daughter married before she attains puberty. This custom has crept into religion. The Hindoo religion strictly forbids shnrle life for woman or man; especial ly must the woman be married. Hence there are no old maids in India. Some times one muiv meet an idd "cranky" bachelor, who has remained unmarried because he was too poor to marry, or because bis character was not (rood; but even these are seldom found except in tho lower classes. If a man is not married at the latest by his twenty fifth year his reputation suffers. It is a belief that those who have a son go to Heaven, when the suit, after the deatli of his parents, performs the spir itual rites. However this may be, whether they jjo to Heaven or not, this severe rule tends to a strict cultivation of home life. Owin to this rule, if n llrahmiu's daughter attains puberty Wforo mar riage the father is disgraced; he loses his caste and no one will marry the Thus w hen a poor man has more than one daughter it is a misfortune for him. The Hindoo father himself has to Un.l out a suitable husband for liisdaui.'hter. so lie K' Hs t a irentle man w ao has a sou. lie tic.t makes in quiries about the family, the property, the health and education of the boy. Thou h ushs tho father of th boy to rcarry hit mn to his rUv'iitst Ihs M CHOLERA Words by H. G. ALLAIRE. J V J v " v -1r 1 The car - den gate swung to and fro, 2. "He loves her so!" the rose re-plied. m r said the lil - holds her hand," rose; "He comes rose rc - marked : at don't all their vows I...U T. 0 1- 3t father of the boy asks for dowry, and the amount of this is fixed according to the means of the man who asks for it and not of the man who (rives it; that is to say, if the father of the boy is very rich he asks thousands of dollars. Hence the Hindoo father of a girl has to spend much for the marriage of his daughter, for he always wishes to see her married into a rich family. A PATRIOT'S PtTTICOAT. And How It Helped to Drive Oft the Brit ish Soldiers. In a letter to the New York Times David S. Turner, of New Dorp, S. I., says; "During the war of 1812, when Commodore Hardy attacked Stoning ton, the. people there had no military defense except one old cannon which had been used for firing salutes. At tiroton, ou the bank of the Thames, opposite to New London, lived Mrs. Hailey in her own house, in the full vigor of womanhood and patriotism for her country, w ho, learning of the attack, immediately mounted her horse and started for that place to take part in the Bl'tray. 1'pon her arrival there the tight to prevent the landing of the Hardy force had already commenced, in which the old cannon was play ing a conspicuous part, but soon it was found that the old gun must be given up for want of cartridges or ma terial to make them. It was at this critical moment that Mrs. Bailey ar rived, and, upon understanding the matter, gave instant notice that she could supply the needful, and then and there stripped off her flannel petticoat, which w as soon worked into cartridges. The old gun was kept at work, and Commodore Llardy's force went back to the fleet to report progress. "When lien. Jackson was president and made his tour through New Eng land he crossed the river at New Lon don, made a cull upon Mrs, llailey at her tiroton home and gave her a cor dial handshaking and his hearty con gratulation upon her courageous and patriotic, action upon tho occasion of th battls ol 6ton!nrt?n " t .

Falee Hank Notes Carried Into Russia In Hollow Pencils. "One of the most ingenious devices for smuggling was detected it Russia not long ago." said O. L. Katovitch, of St. Petersburg, as recorded by the St. Louis (i lobe-Democrat. "A great number of false bank notes had been put into circulation within the dominions of the czar. They could only have been imported, and although the strictest search was made habit ually over every vessel entering a Rus sian port, no trace of the smuggling of false notes was discovered. Accident, however, at last brought the mystery to light. It happened that several cases of lead pencils arrived one day from England, and while being exam ined one of them fell out from a pack age, and the custom house officer, pick ing it up, cut it to a point and used it to sign the orders which delivered up the pencils to the consignee. He kept the loose pencil for his own use, and a few days afterward, because it needed a good poiut, he cut it again and found that there was no more lead. He cut still further, and was surprised to find a thin roll of papernestedin the hollow place where the lead was supposed to be. The paper was one of the false notes, and in this way they had been smuggled into the country." A CHANCE TOR HCSTLKKS.

The House of HnpMburg;. Rudolph von Hapsburg, riding to his Swiss home from hunting, came upon a priest carrying the sacrament to a sick man. The priest on foot was stopped by a river. Rudolph immediately dis mounted, set the priest and sacrament on horseback and led the steed by the rein to the sick man's house. He de clined to take the horse again to daily use, but gave it to the priest for the service of the church. Remembering this deed. Werner, archbishop of Mainz, in 1273, procured the election of Ru dolph as king of the Romans and Kais er. Hence we have the source and fount of the proud imperial house of Hapsburg. Schiller enhances the le gend in one of the best of his ballads, "Dcrllrafvon Hapsburg." It may be mentioned that the late heir to the im perial throne of Austria was named after his illustrious ancestor, Rudolph. He Knew the Law. A certain justice of the peace from the state of Iowa, having arrived pre vious to a trial at a conclusion upon a question of law highly satisfactory to himself, refused to entertain an argu ment by the opposing counsel. "If your honor pleases," counsel pleaded, "I should like to cite o few authorities upon the point." Here he was sharply interrupted by the justice who stated: "The court knows the law, and is thor oughly advised in the premises, and has given his opinion, and that settles it." "It was not," continued counsel, "with an idea of convincing your honor that you are wrong, but I 6hould like to s'tow you wht t blamed fool Ellen- ItOM WM. . . HARRY A.
