. , ' l 1 . W f J 1 ''-8 .1 'if PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There was never ft time in the history of our ooantry when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of meiukind in the factory and workshop, the household and on the farm, as well as in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenance and lmpliments 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 conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great care cannot be exer cised in choosing 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 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 allowance and obtain the fee. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderbnrn, General Manager 618 F street, N. W.,Washington, D. C, representing a large number of impor tant daily and weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the eountry, was in stituted to protect its patrons from the unsafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business. The said Con pany is prepared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for rea sonable fees, and prepare and prosecute applications generally, including me ohanioal inventions, design patents, trade-marks, labels, copyrights, interfer ences, infringements, validity reports, and gives especial nt ten ion to rejected cases. It is also prepared to enter into competition with any firm in securing fornign patents. Write for instructions and advice. John Wbdderiiurn. 18 F Street, P. 0. Box 385. Washington, D. 0.

Stockwell, of Chester field, N. H., "I was afttictfd with an extremely severe pain In the lower part of the chest. The feeling was ai if a ton weight was laid ou a spot the size of my hand. Dur ing the attacks, te perspiraMon would stand in drops on my face, and it was 1 agony for me to ' make sufficient effort even to whis per. They came suddenly, at any hour of the day or night, lasting iiom thirty minutes to half a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for several days after, I was quite pros trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks were almost dally, then less frequent. After about four years of this suffering, 1 was taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and when I began to recover, I had the worst attack of my old trouble I ever experienced. At the first of the fever, my mother Rave me Ayer's Pills, my doctor recommending them as being better than anything he could prepare. I continued taking these Pills, and so great was the benefit derived that during nearly thirty years I have had but one attack of my former trouble, which yielded readily to the same remedy."

We seoare patents and to induce people to keep track ot their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who submits to ne the most meritorious invention during the proceeding month. We will also advertise the inveution free of charge in the National Recorder, a weekly news paper, published in Washington, D. C, which has an eitensive circulation throughout the United States and is' devoted to the interests of inventors. NOT BO HARD AS IT SEEMS. The idea of being able to invent some thing strikes most people as being very diflioult; this delusion the company wishes to dispel. It is the simple things and small inventions that make the greatest amount of money, and the com plex ones are seldom profitable. Almost everybody, at some time or another, oonoeives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to bim a fortune. Unfortunately auob ideas are usually dismissed without tbongbt. The j simple inventions like the car window I which could be easily slid up and down without breaking tbe paaeenger's back, the sauce pan, collar button, thennt look, i the bottle stopper, the snow shovel, are ; things that almost everyone sees some i way of improving npon, and it ia these ; kind of inventions that bring tbe greatest j returns to the author. ! The prize we offer will be paid at the i end of each month, whether the appli i cation baa been acted upon by the Patent Office or not. Every competitor must apply tor a patent on bis invention ' thsonf h ot, and whether ha ssanrss the AMONG THE gate swung to and fro, sol" the rose re-plied. r-m- 3 f y to the rose: "That the pan - sy said, And P here ev - 'ry day, I " It is not right for 1 the Jas - mine sighs," Each and ten - der sighs, Oh, p.

NAPOLEON FOND OF HOMER. lis Thought the Poet Was the Encyclo pedia of Ills Time. The emperor, says Figaro, admired Homer in every way, and thus ex pressed himself on the subject: "The Iliad, as much as Genesis and the Bible, is the sign and token of its time. Homer in his work is poet, ora tor, legislator, geographer and theo logian; he is the encyclopedist of his time. Homer is inimitable. Father Hardouin had the temerity to impugn this sacred monument of antiquity and to attribute it to a monk of the tenth century, an impertinent imbe cility. Never have I been struck with his beauties as now (1816), and the sen sations which he aroused in me confirm the justice of the approbation accorded to him by the whole world. What strikes me especially in reading the pages of his work is the grossness of the customs as compared with the ele vation of the thought of the epoch. We see heroes killing their own beef, pre paring it with their own hands, and yet pronouncing discourses of rare elo quence and worthy of a high civiliza tion. In the Odyssey I greatly disap prove of the combat of Isus against L'lysses on the threshold of his own palace, both disguised as beggars. I consider this episode wretched, coarse, unbecoming and unworty of a king. And then, after having eliminated everything that I find objectionable, 1 feel what still affects me, I put myself in his place, I am seized with the fear of being beaten by a common fellow. It is not given to every prince, to every fftlatl, to fcvt the aStoulaeri el hit FLOWERS. Then came a wliis - per "Oh! here they come!" the -lf Xm f is her lov like the rose, er she dor what they to lis - ten won us St -o looks in - to the dear 1 he kissed her -0- York Mtrsit A;. Recokd Co. guards or of his grenadiers, to convert himself into a street porter at will. "The good Homer remedies all this by making his heroes so many collosi; but this is not the case with us. What chance would we have if we still lived In the happy days in which physical strength was the real scepter? It would come to this, that Noverras, my valet, who waits upon us, would be king over us all. We must agree, then, that civ ilization does everything for the mind, and favors it exclusively at the expense of the body." An Enemy to Cholera. So inimical to the cholera bacillus are oranges and lemons that if the bac teria be placed in contact with the cut surface of the fruits they survive but a few hours, and even if placed on the rind of the whole fruit they will not live longer than twenty-four hours. It is supposed to be the acid of the fruit that possesses this destructive power. Owing to this valuable property in these fruits no restrictions are placed on their transit and sale, even when it is known they are grown in infected districts. The Slaters of Charity. The order known as Sisters of Charity originated in the charitable labors of Vincent de Paul. Wherever he went he was accustomed to urge benevolent women to undertake the relief of the suffering, but finding that the work had not sufficient permanence when prosecuted by these volunteers he re solved to organize a conventional so ciety, and did so in 1633. The first so ciety had four members, but the founder lived to see twenty-eight large estab lishments of the order in Paris alone. Piles! Piles!
