PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
There was never a time in the hintor
of our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the artB
end sciences generally was bo great ae
now. The conveniences of mp'akind in
the factory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, h well aa in nOicial
lifo, require continual accessions to tht
appurtenance and impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the adminiHtra
tion of government does not affect tht
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to per
ceive the existing deficiencies, does not
rnrmit the affairs of government to de
tor bim from quickly oouoeiviug the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great care cannot be excr
eted in cLoosiug 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 advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorney
do ao 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.

mice in the New Vork post otiiee As
sistant Postmaster Uuylor said the other
day:
"It is an order which is impressed
upon every new clerk, although we ex
pect them to exercise a certain amount
of discretion uud common sense. The
validity of a postage stamp, under the
law, depends. upon it never having been
used before for postage, which mast be
determined from the condition of the
stamp itself. There are many stamps
on mail matter that go from post
offices insufficiently canceled; the de
facement is often inconspicuous, some
times only in a corner or along the
margin. If the practice were such as
to admit the use of mutilated stamps,
one part of which might be from an
other stamp, the government would be
defrauded. We have never in the New
York post office had complaints from
people uliose letters were not for
warded because the stamps were im
perfect. The cases of rejection of let
ters on acuount of mutilated stamps
are very few."
KANSAS RUlWo.

Western Kansas is being steadily
drained of its population of farmers.
In 1SS.S twenty-two counties contained
10'i.ttiiU people, and to-day the total
is only :Yl.tii',;i. The exodus has been
caused by the settlers' failure to raise
crops on their arid plains. The hope of
those who have remained is in irriga
tion. At the present time they are in
vesting in windmills, and hundreds of
these machines will be set to work this
summer wherever there are signs of
water beneath the surface of the prairie.
The furnace-like winds which have
hitherto parched the farmers wheat
wilt then do him service as an agency
in irrigating his lands. The agricul
turist has not been the only loser, how
ever. All along the branch lines of the
Santa Fe, Missouri l'acitio and the
I'nion Pacitic railrtads are decayed
towns that once were fall of promise
and even aspired to greatness. In the
bom times many brick buildings were

put up and many wide avenueslaid out.
Some of the buildings have never had a
tenant, and others were soon aban
doned. On the wide streets there is no
traffic worth the name. At Chico, for
instance, the train now ;tops only on
signal. Once its arrival was a great
event, and crowds of people swarmed
to the station. In that day Chico had
the appearance, at least, of prosperity,
and boo sts were made of its growth.
Kanopolis was to be the hub of Kansas,
and eastern capitalists, some of them
men of note, invested liberally in the
future of the town. To-day its ambi
tious eapitol square is used for a sheep
pasture, and the train rushes by as
though it were a tank station. South
Hutchinson furnishes another illustra
tion. It was a young giant at its
zenith, with brick hotels, churches,
sehoolhouses and a street-car line.
Prairie dogs now run about the chancel
of the biggest church, and the hotel
door is hidden by a sand bank.
The correspondent at Atlantic of the
London Times lately visited Chaleis,
the capital of the northern part of the
island of Euboea, which island was
greatly affected by the recent earth
quakes. A peculiar incident noted by
him was the action of the lofty Vene
tian tower in the center of the town.
It swung to and fro so violently that it
knocked down an adjoining wall,
though it remained standing itself and
sustained no damage.
A CHANCE FOR Hl'STLKBS.

The work is new, popular and very

An amiable member of the Travelers'
club in this city, who possesses a min
ute knowledge of foreign places, is fre
quently consulted by friends contem
plating a European tour. lie brings
forth his neatly kept notes of travel
and gives valuable pointers concerning
routes, hotels, cafes, etc. Just now he
is beset with inquiries about Antwerp
by intending visitors to its exposition.
To one of the se he imparted this hint;
"In patronizing the cafes, which, in
various ways, solicit the custom of
English and Americans, notice the
spelling of the word "beefsteak' on the
outdoor signs or bills of fare, and be
governed accordingly. If you prefer
French cookery, seek out restaurants
where it is spelled 'biftek' or 'bifstik.'
Hut if you wish to try a purely Flem
ish cuisine, look at these various ways
of spelling the word, which I copied
literally from signs and menus during
my stay in that city: 'Heefestee,'
'Ivaufste-.'iika.' 'heavesteik,' 'biefsteck,'
bafesteeke." 'beevestchek,' 'biffstoake'
and 'beeafc.iteeacke."
