MINUET
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

La. Ili-r-A r.i .x
There was never a time la the history
of our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements iu the arts
Bod sciences generally was bo great as
now. The conveniences of rifjkind in
the faotory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as wl! as in official
life, reqnire continual accessions to the
appurtenance and impliments 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 bim from quickly oouoeiving the
remedy to overoome existing discrepan
cies. Too great cnre cannot be exer
o'sed in ouoosing a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lout and destroyed in
innumerable instances bv 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.

A Uaplil anil Onilnnul Ilpcrpnue In the

Stutihtics arc very dull, nnd dullni'KS
is a thin,,' to lie hhiiniii'd by ull wi-11-ri'iilati-il

article has just appeared in the Jour

During the year lH'Ji the deaths in
Fraiieu exceeded the births by over
twenty thousand. Hitherto the popula
tion had been iiliuut htiUioiiiirv, but this
national deficit is serious. The French,
from the highest to the lowest, do not
care for lare families, allctfinir. justly
enough, that children are expensive

Minuet a.
HtitioiiH sailors tied in dismay, the cap
tain's faco blanched, the other oflicers
stood irresolute, and I grabbed the
wheel and held on to it with all my
strength to keep from running clean
a way. Scared'.' Why, I was so scared
1 didn't know where I was. Hut in a
minute we begati to realize thut the
swelling of the decomposing body
had forced the nails out and it was
their giving way that had made the
fearful noise. In a few minutes the
sailors were recalled, the collin was
nailed upaain and lashed with ropes
and the last sad rites were finished
without further incident.
"That is to say," continued the ofll
ccr, "there was no further incident on
deck. It was my duty to go with a
boat's crew Koine distance from the
ship and sink thc body iu the sea. and
I can tell you now I did not relish the
job at all. It was duty, and that
must be done whether one likes it or
not. lly this time the sun had net, the
sea was quite rough and the men to go
with me were badly rattled. At a
suitable distance 1 stopped the boat,
committed the body to the deep and,
with a feeling of the most intense re
lief, ordered the crew to 'give way' to
return to the ship. I sat in the ntern
of ihe boat facing the crew, and they
had not taken a do.en strokes until I
noticed something was wrong. Their
faces iN'gan to take on the color of

in a tone that made all my blood go

cast a quick glance backward. Right

fantastic leaps, ennn the coffin in our
w ake. Then It was, !n my tierouncs,

noun-thing; and for an instant it would
have U'cn a positive relief to me to
have done all three in rapid succession,
and wound it up by plunging into the
sea. but the eyen of the men were on
me, and they were worse scared than I
was. and I couldn't do that. Tu put
buck was all there wan to do. and at
the coiumuiid the lsiat went back, but
I can assure yon none of tin wanted lo
go back with it. However, necessity
c.niiM'lli'd it, and In a few strokes we
were alongside the coflhi and bad made
it fast wltharoie. Then we discovered

UNAPPRECIATED BANANAS.
Boom VutjMmtltlons About Haddock, and
Fern Koots.
The banana possesses wonderful sus
taining properties, and yet years ago,
in the warm countries where it flour
ishes, the banana was thought of so
lightly that it was allowed to waste if
not eaten by the cattle.
The plant itself was valued simply as
a shade for coffee trees, between rows
of which it was planted.
Somebody once told me, says a writer
In the Gentlewoman, that the Span
iards used to regard the banana as a
forbidden fruit, because they detected
in its heart the transverse section of
the cross.
I remember, too, how one of my early
governesses used to delight me by
showing ine the cross and the apostles
in the center of the passion flower; and
the other day a friend told me of some
curious symbolical marks to lie found
nt the back of the ueck of the haddock,
indentations similar to those that
might be cnused by the finger and
thumb, the supposition being that the
haddock wm one of the fishes picked
out of the net on the occasion of the
mirunulous draft of llshen.
Keeping ouixxirt.
To maintain one's composure under
circumstances of a trying nature is
alsmt as dillieult a task as has ever
licen set f ir mankind. The Frenchman
in so rarely nbleVo keep cool that he
marvel at the F.ngll.diman'a stolid In
difference to most of the ills of life,
and iu a French work published some
years ago a certain "Milord Hamilton"
in held up an the prince of the com
posed, "for." nays the writer, "Milord
Hamilton, having killed a hotel waiter
in a brawl. Wing informed of the mao'n
death by the landlord, composedly or
ders his host to charge it in the bill. "
Win s the queen ascended the Itrit
lull throne more than Tony-one per
cent, of the huglisii N-opie could not
write their names. The proportion in
that condition has been reduced to
seven per cent. ,

fiirt line.
We secure p'ltfnts and to induce
people to keep track of their bright
ideas we offer a prize of one hundred
dollars to be paid nn the fiiet of every
month to the person who submits lo ns
the most tneritoiious invention during
tbe preceeding month. We will alfo
ndvertise the invention free of charge in
the National Recorder, a weekly news
paper, published in Washington, P. C,
which has an extensive circulation
tbrouuhout the United States nnd is
devoted to the iutercfdH of inventors.
NOT BO HARD AS IT SKKMH.
The idea of being able lo invent some
thing strikes most people as being very
.liflkult; this delusion the company
wishes to dispel. It is (he simple things
and small inventions that make the
greatest smouut of money, and the com
plex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
-ferybody, at some time- or another,
ooneeives n idea, whirl), if pntented.
would probably be worth to him a
fortune. Unfortunately such ides are
isilally dismissed without thought. The
simple inventions like the rar window
ablcb could be easily slid np and down
without breaking the passenger's back,
he sauce pan, collar bnftnn.thennt look,
the bottle stopper, the snow shnvel, are
hiiig that almost everyoi e sees some
ay of improving npon, and it is these
kind of inventions Hist bring the grr-atrst
returns lo the author.
The prim we r.ftVr will he paid at Ihe
endofeaob month, whether Ihe appli
nation bns been acted upon by the
Patent Ofllce or not. F.very competitor
must apply for a patent on his intention
thrnngb ns, and whether he strnres Ihe
prlganr not. the Inventor will have a
valuable patent.
