PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time In the history
of our coantry when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arte
and Bcienoes generally waa so great as
now. The conveniences of mftukind 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 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 him from quickly oonoeiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great C3re 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 advioe 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
sidered in view of a qulok endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee.

FATE OF GOLD HUNTERS.
Driven Insann by Thirst WhUa Reeking
Fortune, on the Colorado Desert.
Misfortunes that have overtaken so
many wretched desert gold hunters
seems to have no effect on other seek
ers after fortune, says the Palm Springs
(Col.) correspondent of the New York
Telegram. Perhaps no fate has been
so sad as that of the unknown pros
pector who was carried into Yuma re
cently insane for the want of water
and food. The unhappy man put in
an appearance with his nurse at the
romantic village of Durmid on the
Southern Pacific track. Durmid is in
the heart of the desert, and a few miles
from Sal ton. This and Volcano are the
dreariest spots in the world. For many
miles in the vicinity of Volcano Springs
nothing grows. The ground is treach
erous, for under its seemingly firm ex
terior are boiling mud wells. There
is shelter for neither beast nor bird.
Even the miserable sage brush gets no
hospitality from the lean soil. A piti
iless sun by day and a hot wind by
night greet the travelers who cross the
desert in their hunt for gold deposits.
Here the prospector first brought him
self to notice by asking for a shovel.
"I've got a dead burro out yonder,"he
remarked, gazing to the west, "and I
want to bury it."
The shovel was given him and away
he started. He came back some time
after and said he had buried the car
csiss some six feet under the ground. It
was considered strange at the time,
as no one here ever thinks of burying
an animal. The dry air desicates the
body as completely as if it had been
subjected to the heat of an oven. He
hung about the section house for a few
hours and then left for Durmid, where
he mentioned his loss. There he stayed,
refusing all oilers of food, but picking
up his subsistence from such food as he
could find about the place dry bits of
bread, which even a coyote would have
scorned, he ate greedily. Then he
asked for a shovel and announced his
intention to dig up his donkey, as he
had found a sovereign remedy against
death. The shovel was given him, and,
though the beast had been interred
three or four days, the crazy man dis
interred the remains. He came back,
saying that the donkey refused to get
up and live. The section men sent
word that they had an insane man on
their hands and feared he would die.
is lie refused food. The conductor of
a freight train was ordered to take him
into Yuma, and essnyed the task. The
wretched man would run like a deer
from his captors, offering violence to
anyone who came near him. Finally
one man more astute than the rest said:
"Laok here, the superintendent
wants to see rou in Los Angeles and
pay you for the donkey you lost."
"If that is what you want me for I'll
come, he answered, "and if you prom
ise not to'tie me up I'll be quiet."
lie was taken into Yuma, but all ef
forts to discover his identity proved un
availing. A short time previously
another man came into Jiurmid raving
mad. His tongue was black, his eyes

Though his new found friends begged
him not to follow the fascinations of
gold hunting he refused to listen to
reason, scorned the kindness of section

his hopeless quest of illusive gold

BISMARCK'S MORTGAGES.
The Ex-Chancellor Devoting 833,000 a
Year to the Liquidation of Debts.
Nobody in Germany has felt the evil
effects of the agricultural depression
more keenly than has liismarck. To
persons who have read of the magnifi
cent presents given to Hismarek by the
old emperor it has been a surprise to
learn recently that his estates are
heavily mortgaged. His present from
the old emperor after the Austro-Prus-sian
war of 1806 was ?HOO,000, and with
this sum he bought his palace at Var
zin. After the Franco-Prussian war
he received from the same hands the
Saxon forest at Friedriehsruhe, valued
at 87.10,000. He inherited the ancestral
estate at Schoenhausen. On April 1,
1885, Itismarck's seventieth birthday,
his admirers throughout the world
gave him that portion of the Schoen
hausen property which his father had
been obliged to sell when times were
hard. The money value of the gift
was some 8400,000. liismarck is also a
distiller, forester and the owner of a
large brick yard. Despite all these ad
vantages, however, says a writer in the
Home Journal, he has found it impossi
ble to lift the mortgages, amounting to
about $7"0,000, which have incumbered
his estates for many years. Of his
gross income more than 832,000 must
be devoted every year to paying the in
terest on his debts. The burden is not
agreeable to the old chancellor, and he
has often remarked to his friends re
cently that his ambition to leave an
unincumbered property to his children
would never be gratified.

Iehthyoinys stolzmanni, and the only

Leeks Vs. Leeka.
An old hunter said the other day that
when he first went up into Michigan
and Wisconsin where wild leeks
abound, he was surprised to find lying
at the side of his plate at the table a
piece of leek about three or four inches
long. He did not understand why it
was placed there until he tried the but
ter, which he found to be almost intol
erable from the taste of leeks. He then
followed the example of the others and
ate the leek, when he found the butter
instantly transferred into just as de
licious buttor as he ever tasted. The
leeks grow up through the snow, and
a iv tlie first preen thing to be found in
the fields and along the streams, and
the cows eat them with a relish; with
the result that the butter made from
their milk is strongly scented, and the

TTCUlliDUS STRIKE.
The Beggars of a Roumanla City
Organized to Some Purpose.
When Forbidden nj the Police to
They Resort to Ways That Are
HtUl More Dark to Ualn
Their Ends.
Beg
"Blessed is the land that has no his
tory," is a modern proverb, the truth
of which is not likely to be contested,
says a writer in the London Telegraph;
and for the past few years Roumania
has acquired the right of considering
itself foremost among these privileged
countries. No political event of any
note has been chronicled here during
that time, and people mind or neglect
their own business as the spirit moves
them, without fuss or worry, leaving
their neighbors to do likewise. The
smooth course of this beneficial but
humdrum monotony was broken lately
by an occurrence, vouched for by a
well-informed journal of this city,
which, if not precisely calculated to
usher in far-reaching changes in the
sphere of politics, is at least interest
ing enough, by reason of the light it
throws on economic questions general
ly and on the ethics of strikes in par
ticular. Incredible as it may appear,
the strike on this occasion was planned
nnd carried on by the Guild of
Beggars. It should be premised, how
ever, in order to understand the feasi
bility of such a seemingly mad notion,
that the largest contingent of mendi
cants in this happy kingdom is fur
nished by unregenerate gypsies, who
tire as black, uncivilized and isolated
here as they were in their native land
long centuries ago. They are a very
clever people, who can turn their
httnds to almost anything, and can
turn almost anything toward their
hands; so that it is considered some
what of a concession to the needs of
society on their part that they humbly
beg for what they might easily appro
priate if they had a mind to. Mow,
one of the finest streets in all Buchar
est is the Calea Vittoriei, which ex
tends the entire length of the city,
from the Dimbovitza quay to the KiS'
seleff road. It boasts two churches,
one theater, several hotels, govern
ment offices, the royal palace, the prin
cipal clubs and the most attractive
shops, the boulevards being situated on
either side of the street.
This fashionable thoroughfare was
the favorite beat of the beggars, some
of whom are known to have "made a
fortune and retired from the business,"
as French advertisements put it, in a
few years. The street literally
swarmed with them of late, and their
number went on increasing. You
could not go to your hotel, take a glass
of wine in a restaurant or enter a
church or theater without running the
gauntlet of a score or more of impor
tunate beggars. People at last began
to complain, and the prefect of the po
lice admitted that it was an eyesore
which must at all costs be removed,
lie therefore issued an order peremp
torily prohibiting beggars from "ply
ing their calling" in Calea Vittoriei or
any of the streets which intersect it.
The members of the indignant frater
nity at once put their heads together
and resolved to strike, and for twenty
four hours there was not a beggar to
be seen or heard in Bucharest, and
great was the consequent joy of the
dwellers in the west end of this capital
thereat.
Meanwhile one qf the guild called on
the prefect and requested an audience,
which was granted then and there.
He explained that his brethren had
sent him to express their regret that
any such ill-advised measure should
have been taken against them, seeing
that they were so popular with the
wealthy classes. "Besides, if we are
not allowed to take up our old position
in the Callea Vittoriei," he added, "we
shall feel compelled to continue to
strike." This threat tickled the fancy
of the police prefect, who ltraghed out
right and said: "Then strike away,
my good man 1 You will all the sooner
become profitable members of society."
"It's now that tve are useful members
of society," rejoined the spokesman of
the mendicants. "Every gentleman
and lady who gives us a ley (tenpence)
or a few banis (a bani is a tenth part
of a penny) ft els insured, as it were,
against tenfold losses in other ways.
Your own policemen will confirm what
I say. Tou understand me. We can
pull through nicely enough without
alms, God be praised, but it will be a
positive loss to the almsgiving classes
if we go out on a strike. We can turn
our hands to other things without any
painful efforts. Believe me, I am act
ing in the interests of society." The
prefect all at once became thoughtful,
and, dismissing the eloquent advocate
of the poor, said he would give the
matter his careful consideration. And
he fulfilled his promise, for before the
shades of night had fallen the police
reported a lprge number of complaints
lodged by private individuals, whoso
watches, gold chains, silver, handker
chiefs and filled purses hud been ab
stracted, they knew not by whom,
how or where. A dazzling light is said
to have dawned upon the prefect's
mind, and early the next morning the
chief of the gypsy beggars received nn.
iiitimtition thut their demands would
bo complied with, and thnt the sooner
they returned to "work" the bettor.
Since then people give nlms in the
time-honored way and have no further
losses to cunplain of. A beggars'
strike might pos;.iblv be a boon in
other countries, but in Kouinania it
would prove a terrible calamity.
ANNOUNCING A KING'S DEATH.
How the News Was Spread That Victoria
Was Queen.
Some quaint and delightful glimpses
of "Old Windsor" are given by Lady
Elvey in her "Life and Reminiscences
of G. J. Elvey, Knt." Here, for in
stance, is an announcement of the
death of King William, which probably
is a unique delivery by one of the men
to whose lot it has fallen "to tell sad
stories of the death of kings:"
Roach, the belfry keeper, says
the Westminster Gazette, seems to
have received a broad hint that the king
was near his end, and waited about
until he received the news that all
was over, when with haste he repaired
to the deanery, arousing the inmates
by ringing the bell at the cloister en
trance with all his might and main. It
was useless for the butler to ask him,
"What do yon want here at this time of
night?" His business was with the
dean and no one else. This distin
guished person, aroused from his slum
bers and clad, not in his surplice, but
in another garment which should be
"always white," called from the top of
the stairs; "What is the matter, Hooch?"'
"Billy be dead. Be I to ring the bell?"
"Whnt Biiiv?"' "The Mr, N ure."
"Oh, yes, Roach: you may toll the bell."
Thus was the news spread that the
king was dead, and that the young
Princess Victoria was queen.
STAIRS IN SAMOA.
Bow a Little Islander Carried W ater to a
Second-e'tory Room.
In Samoa, where he makes his home,
Robert Louis Stevenson has done much
in the way of instructing the natives
in European methods of work. He
tells an amusing story in this connec
tion. A new house boy had been en
gaged, and on his arrival was lost in
awe and admiration of the magnifi
cence of the mansion.
He was given a large bucket of wa
ter and told to take it to the bedroom
up above. He looked up and, point
ing, asked if it was there. On being
answered in the affirmative, he seized
the bucket in his teeth, and before
anyone could remonstrate he had
rushed up one of the posts of the
veranda. The whole family ran up the
staircase, and when they showed him
that that was the usual method of get
ting to these rooms, he was overpow
ered with delight, and for two or three
days could do absolutely nothing but
race up and downstairs, chuckling
and crowing in an ecstasy of joy. And
when detachments of his friends came
to visit him they were always taken to
see the stairs the first thing.
A Diverting Decision.
The mayor of Folkestone, England, is
also a committing magistrate, and some
years ago, when Mr. Baker occupied
that responsible position, his decisions
were always honest, but highly divert
ing. One day a boy was brought be
fore his honor on the charge of steal
ing gooseberries. Baker turned over
the pages of Burns' "Justice," but not
being able so find the article he want-
cd in the book, which is alphabetical
ly arranged, he lifted up his spectacles
and addressed the culprit thus: " My
lad, it's very lucky for you that, in
stead or stealing gooseberries, you were
not brought here for stealing a goose.
There is a statute against stealing
geese, but I can't find anything about
gooseberries in this book. So, let the
prisoner be discharged, for I suppose it
is no offense. And so the culprit es
caped to his joy and the extreme delight
of the audience.
Unmanned His Opponent.
Dramatic effects are hazardous agen
cies to use, as it is not impossible to
spoil them by an anti-climax as
member of the English parliament
found when, at the close of a fiery ad
juration to the government to declare
war, he cried out: "Unsheath the
sword!" and, drawing a dagger, threw
it on the floor. "Ah!" coolly said an
OTinonent; "there is the knife, but
where is the fork?" A shout of laugh-
ter was the result.
PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
Illinois Comes Third with Forty-Two
Great Dook Collections.
Massachusetts is far and away ahead
Of all other states in the supply of read
ing for the people, says the Troy (S.
Y.) Times. Its U13 free public libraries
have a total of 2,700,001) volumes, and
this gives 1,233 volumes for each 1,000
of the population. The nearest rival
to Massachusetts is New Hampshire,
with forty-two libraries containing
175,000 volumes, being 4fi4 books per
1.000 of the people, Third in rank is
the great state of Illinois, with forty-
two libraries, the same in number as
the little state of the White moun
tains, but it has only 130 volumes to
each 1,000 people. The next four in
their order are Michigan, Rhode Is
land, New Y'ork and Indiana. This
places our state sixth in rank, while it
holds first place in population, wealth
and educational opportunities.
Tne millionaire givers to public li
braries have been few up to date. Ac
cording to Mr. Fletcher's book they do
not number more than seven. They
are: Chicago, John Crerar, 83,000,000:
W. N. Newberry, 82,000.000; New York,
the Astors, 82,000.000; Baltimore,
George Peabody, 81,400,000; Enoch
Tratt, 81,225,000; Philadelphia, Dr.
James Rush, 81,500,000; Pittsburgh,
Andrew Carnegie, 81,000,000. Look over
this list and compare it with the
scores of philanthropists who have
given their millions to found colleges,
universities and even special schools,
and it looks infinitesimally small. The
rich men have not yet in large num
bers risen to a true appreciation of the
value to society and to civil affairs of
these colleges of the people. W e have
more colleges and universities than
can be supported without frequent en
dowments, .scholarships and other
gifts. But the library once established
and endowed sustains itself, ana
never lacking in patronage.
LONG-LIVED RUSSIANS.
Some of Them Kinarh the Ag-e of Six
Score and Five.
It has long been a well-established
fact that abnormal longevity is more
common among the Kussians tnan
among any other of the European na
tions, savs the London News, rrom
an official report collated from well
authenticated local registers, it now
appears that the government of Kieff
takes the first place of all Russian
provinces in this respect. During last
year, it is officially stated, there were
fourteen centenarian deaths registered
in that government. In the city of
Kieff one man died aged 110 years,
while within the suburban circle two
women died aged respectively 102 and
104 years.
In Berditeheff two men reached the
respective ages of 101 and 114 years. In
Vassilkoff another patriarch died in his
115th year. In the same district there
died a Jewess aged 105; in Svenigorod
ka, a man of 110 years; in Tarastcsha,
another of 105; in Uman, two men aged
respectively 100 and 102 years; in Rado
mytzel. a Jew agad 107 and a Christian
aged 103: and lastly, a man of 105 years
died at Tcherkassy.
Here are fourteen persons, dying
within the same year and within the
limits of one district, whose united
ages amount to 1,4S9 years. According
to the Saratoff journals there is still
living in that government an ancient
veteran of the First Napoleon army,
formerly Lieut. Savin, and since 1812
known as Nicolai Alexandrovitch Savin,
who has celebrated 126 birthdays.

Fortune.
Bake a
We seonre patents and to Indues
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 lo tie
j the most meritorious invention daring
the proceeding month. We will also
advertise the invention free of charge in
the National Recorder, a weekly news
paper, published in Washington, D. 0,
wbioh has an extensive circulation
throughout the United States and if
devoted to the interests of inventors,
NOT SO HARD AS IT SBBMB.
The idea of being able to invent tome
thing strikes most people as being very
difnoult; this delnsion 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 bin a
fortune. Unfortunately snob, ideas are
usually dismissed without thought. The
simple inventions like the car window
whioh could be easily slid up and down
without breaking tbe passenger's back,
the ssuce pan, collar button, the nut look,
the bottle stopper, tbe snow shovel, are
things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it ia these
kind ot inventions that bring tbe greatest
returns to tbe author.
Tbe prize we offer will be paid at the
end of each month, whether tbe appli
cation baa been acted noon hv lha
j Patent Office or not. Every competitor
j must apply for a patent on bis inventioa
through n, end whether he seeurea the
prize or not. the inventor will have e
