PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time In the history
of onr ooaotry when the demand for
inventions and improvements io the arts
and flcienoes generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mpjkind in
the factory and workshop, the household
and od the farm, an well as in official
life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenance and impliments of each
in order to saye 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 afftiirs of government to de
ter bim from quickly conceiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great owe cunnot 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 thin advice applicable to
thoBe 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 qiilok endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee.

SURGERY IN THE STONE AGE.
Prehtatorle Man Knew How to Perform
Trephining.
Prof. Victor Ilorslcy, F. R. S., lately
made some interesting assertions in an
address in Toynbce hall, Lonilon. upon
"Trephining; in the Stone Ape." lie said
that there was no doubt that these
prehistoric people, though little better
than savages of a low type, performed
this delicate operation, and the proof
of it to surgeons was convincing. If
the wound in an injured skull healed
the sharp edges become rounded, and il
there was a kind of worm-eaten ap
pearance round what was once a
wound it meant that there was inflam
mation at the time of healing. Prof.
Ilorsley exhibited representations of
prehistoric skulls which presented
these appaarances, and urged that it
was sufficient proof that the owners
survived these operations, performed
something like five thousand years
ago. He found that in one instance
the hole had been scraped out of the
skull, and mentioned that even at the
present time among the Kabyles, in
the north of Africa, two days were oc
cupied in performing the operation.
Trephining was also accomplished by
drilling a number of holes with a bone
drill, then breaking down the small
partitions, and so releasing the desired
piece of bone. Again, the operation could
be effected with a stone saw, and skulls
were represented that showed that
after the periosteum had been scraped
away sawing had been resorted to.
Primitive people, he said, were very
careless as to these operations, and
even five hundred years ago in Germa
ny a piece of the skull was removed as
a cure for melancholy. If a savage
suffered in the head from a blow tre
phining was accomplished, and doubt
less the sufferer from tits, who was
considered to be possessed, was re
lieved by a similar operation. From
the skulls he had examined he found
that the holes were generally made
immediately above those parts of the
brain where an injury would induce
fits. Often the piece of bone was re
placed in the skull and at other times
it was split up into amulets. No doubt
the dwellers in the stone age looked
into the operation as something very
special, and considered that the bone
removed had supernatural properties.
OLD WORLD ETIQUETTE.
8tranffe Social Cuatoma Whleh Are Ob
served 1 1 Europe and Aula.
In Sweden, if you address the poor
est person on the street you must lift
your hat, says the Philadelphia Press.
The same courtesy is insisted upon if
you pass a lady on the stairway. To
enter a reading room or a bank with
one's hat on is regarded as a bad
breach of manners. To place your
hand on the arm of a lady is a grave
and objectionable familiarity.
In Holland a lady is expected to re
tire precipitately if she should enter a
store or a restaurant where men are
congregated. She waits until they
have transacted their business and de
parted. . Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re
ceive a male visitor, and they rare
ly accompany him to the door.
For a Spaniard to give a lady even
his wife his arm when out walking
is looked upon as a decided violation
of propriety.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be
fore calling, and gives a day's notice
if the visit is one of great importance.
He is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations
are shown him according to relative
rank. The left, and not the right is
considered the position of honor.
No Turk will enter a sitting-room
with dirty shoes. The upper classes
wear tight-fitting shoes, with galoches
over them. The latter, which receive
all the dirt and dust, are left outside
the door. The Turk never washes in
dirty water. Water is poured over his
hands, so that when polluted it runs
away.
In Syria the people never take off
their caps or turbans when entering
the house or visiting a friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapers outside
and the floors inside are covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean in
Moslem houses aud used to kneel upon
while saying prayers.
ASSUAGED BY PRIDE.
A Grief That Wait overcome by a Senae of
lleiiig Uonorud.
Many of the old country emigrants
do not wish to give up their castle
servility when they reach this demo
cratic country, says the New York
Times. The young wife of a man who
has extensive coal interests in Penn
sylvania told some friends the other
day of a recent experience in this re
gard. Soon after she reached her new
home, among her husband's mines, the
child of a French "digger" died. Her
husband, as was his custom, sent for
the bereaved parent to offer any assist
ance under the sad circumstances.
"There is nothing I want," said the
man, "only," and he fumbled his hat,
"that milady should come to the
funeral. If this .will happen the grief,
which I have to lose my child will be
lightened in the honor which I shall
have to write to my parents in France
that milady was there." Such touching
deference, of course, was recognized,
and "milady" went down to the little
cottage on the day of the funeral.
When she went in the father sat with
bowed head at the head of the collin.
His eyes, however, were furtively
watching the door, aud the instant she
appeared he stood up. A look of pride
that he could not conceal spread over
his face. With great respect he con
ducted her to his own place and she sat
there, the man standing motionless at
her side through the service.
THE CONSCIENCE FUND.
Founded Farly in This Century, It How
AmounU to About 0410,000.
The "Conscience Fund" has figured
in the statements of the treasury de
partment for over eighty years, says V.
L. Crisman in Lippincott's. It was
opened by the register of tho treasury
department in 1 S 1 1 and appears in the
general fund of the government under
the head of miscellaneous receipts.
Like other assets of the treasury it can
be used for any purpose that congress
may deem proper. Iu origin was due
to the fact that away back in tho be
ginning of tho present century some
unknown pexson began to feed the sharp
thrusts of conscience. In some way he
had defaulted the government, and
could find relief only by returning the
money to the treasury. This was the
beginning of the account showing the
receipts of moneys by the government
from unknown persons. Since then the
fund has been accumulating In large
' and until ums, until t tha praertt
time it aggregates nearly SD70.000. Re
mittances are received nearly every
Week. During the prevalence of the
hard times the receipts have fallen off
considerably, and sometimes a fort
night elapses before a communication
is received, showing that even a man's
conscience can feel the effect of tight
money.

A BISHOP'S BAD NIGHT.
Popped Into a "Spare lied" in Which Sil
ver Was Stored.
An eminent bishop who was quar
tered in the house of the wealthiest
resident in a certain village, while his
host's wife was away, occupied the
"spare bed." He is a thin man, and
when his host inquired in the morning
how he had slept and hoped he had
passed an agreeable night, he an
swered, with some vehemence: "No,
I did not; I passed a very disagreeable
night, indeed."
The bishop departed, and when the
wife of his host returned she naturally
inquired who had been in the house in
her absence.
"Bishop P -," said the husband.
"Bishop P ! Where did you put
him to sleep?"
"In the spare bed, of cours."
"In the spare bed!" shrieked the hor
rified matron. "Why, I put all the
silver under the mattress before I went
away."

"TAKE CARt O1 YERSELF."
The Solicitous Injunction of the Stem
Hwlue-Herder.
In "Mountaineering in the Sierra
Nevada" Clarence King relates that
he came one night to a camp-fire under
a group of ptnes. A little way from
tl lay a confused mass of old and
hall-bald buffalo robes and comfort
ers, and outstretched on this was a fam
ily with their feet to the fire. The fam
ily consisted of mother and father,
two small children and a huge girl.
"You seem to have a pleasant camp
spot here." was my salutation.
The old woman answered sharply:
"They's wus, and then again they's
better."
"Does well for our hogs," inserted
the old man. "We've a band of pork
that make out to find feed."
"Oh! How many have youf" I
asked.
"Nigh three thousand."
"Won't you set?" asked madam; then,
turning to the daughter: "You, Susan,
can't you try for to set up, and not
spread so? Hain't you no manners,
say?"
At this the massive girl got herself
somewhat together, and made room
for me, a courtesy which I declined,
however.
"Prospectin'?" inquired madam.
"I say huntiu'," suggested the man.
"Maybe he's a cattle feller," inter
rupted one of the children.
"Goin' somewhere, ain't yer?" was
Susan's guess.
1 gave a brief account of myself, sat
isfying all but the old woman, who ev
idently classified me as not up to her
standard. Later she turned and said to
me:
"I allow you've killed your coon in
your day?"
"No, ma'am," I said. "Now you
speak of it, I realize that I never have
killed a coon."
I realized, too, that this fatal admis
sion must forever lower me in her
eyes, and I observed that even Susan
and her father were somewhat stag
gered. After a sojourn of several days
among them, 1 took leave of the fam
ily. The father and Susan accom
panied me for a distance into the for
est to inspect the hogs. As we were
parting the old man said with evident
embarrassment:
"You'll take care o' yerself, now,
won't you'?''
1 tried to convince him that I would.
A slight pause.
"You'll take care o' yerself, won't
you?"
1 was about to reply that he might
rely on it, when he added:
"Thi't thct thet man what gets
Susan bus half the hogs!
Then, turning away, he spurred his
pony, calling out: "Take good care o'
yerself!"

Society of the highly proper sort is
laughing in its voluminous sleeve at
an adventure which befell a handsome
nnlilemnn attached to one of the for
eign legations. The young man, it. ap
pears, is not averse to admiring femi
nine beauty, and it is said that when
he visits the theater he takes a seat in
the front row and fixes his eyes on the
fair portion of the audience, says the
Washington Post.
It is only natural that a man with
such splendidly soulful eyes and lux
uriant mustache as the baron's should
inspire reciprocal esteem in many of
the weaker sex, and isacquainted with
maiiv damsels to whom lie has never
received a formal introduction.
The other day he espied an exceed
ingly pretty brunette whom he immedi
atelv w;:nled to meet the worst way in
the world. When she discovered his
admiring glances she drooped her lids
in that coquettish way which bespoke
a similar desire on her part.
The attache is up to such demure lit
tle idiosyncrasies and in less time
than it takes to tell it he was chatting
with her. ner mental brightness was
even more pronounced than her per
sonal attractiveness, and he was smit
ten. She refused his invitation to
luncheon, however, and would not
even let him walk home with her, but
she said he might call and meet her
mother, and in case the latter was fa
vorably impressed with him he could
continue his visits. This was a new
type of the American girl to the diplo
mat, so he rapturously applauded her
eminent good sense and straightfor
wardness, and made an engagement,
in pursuance of her remarks, for the
very next night.
lie was so anxious to make a good
appearance that he primped for half
an hour before the legation pier glass
and ruined a dozen neckties before he
tied one of the, proper terra cotta
shade. 1 hen he sallied forth on con
quest bent.
He reached his latest inamorata's
residence and a bright mulatto boy an
swered t he bell. In answer to his in
quiry if M iss So-aud-So was at home,
the youngster replied that "sister"
was iu the parlor. The peculiarity of
this remark didn't seem to strike the
foreigner, who had been tripped up so
many times by American idioms, and
he entered.

"My mother, Mr. " began the
girl, but the caller had fled.
The orse Hereafter.
The old Norse idea of the hereafter
planned for evil doers is almost the di
rect opposite of the orthodox hades.
The place of torment for the reprobate
sons of the north is called Nastrond,
and is situated far toward the frigid
north and is directly under Nifiheim,
the Scandinavian mythologists purga
tory. A describtion of Nastrond as
it apppears in the "Prosa Eda" (writ
ten in Iceland in the thirteenth cen
tury) is as follows: "In Nastrond there
is a vast and direful structure with
doors that face the north. This build
ing is formed entirely of the backs and
scales of serpents, wattled together
like wicker work. But the heads of
the serpents themselves are turned
toward the inside of the hall, and they
continually vomit forth floods of venom,
in which must wade throughout
eternity all those who commit murder
or swear to lies." Another description
of Nastrond is similar to this, but adds
that the evil doers are occasionally
bitten by the great dragon Xidhogg.

NOT SO HARD AS IT SEBHS.
The idea of being able to invest some
thing strikes most people aa belli? very
rfiflioult; this delusion tbe company
wishes to dispel. It is the simple thinga
and small inventions that make the
greatest amount of money, and the com
plez ones are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody, at some time or another,
oonoeives an idea, which, if patented,
would probably be worth to bin
fortnne. Unfortunately enoh ideas are
neually dismissed without tbongbt. The
simple inventions like tbe car window
which eould be easily did np and down
without breaking the passenger's back,
the aance pan, collar button, the nnt look,
the bottle stopper, the enow ehnvel, are
thinga that almost everyone aeea some
way of improving npon, and it is tbeae
kind of inventions that bring the greatest
returns to the author.
Tbe prize we offer will be paid al the
end of eaoh month, whether the applj.
eation has been acted npon by lbs
Patent Office or not. Every competitor
rang I apply for patent on his invention
throngh us. and whether he eeenre the
