The FIRST PATENTS. first patent issu-
ed by the United States was granted to Samuel
Hopkins on July 80, 1890, for the manufacture of
pot and pearl ashes. The third was to Oliver
Evans, of Philadelphia, SO famous for his in
ventions in high pressure engines, of which in
vention President Jefferson remarked that lit
was too valuable to be covered by patent, and
there should be no patent for a thing no one
could afford to do without after it was known. y
This was in December of the same year in which
Hopkins obtained his patent. For many years
after this date the patent Office was but clerk
ship in the State Department.

PRACTICAL YOUNG LADIES The young
ladies of Wheaton Seminary. New York, have
resolved hereafter to keep themselves inform
ed on business matters, and abstain from I'M
necessary expenditures Ii is to be hoped
that this will be more than resolves of the kind
usually amount to, for there is no doubt of the
advantage to be derived to men and women if
women were letinto the business secrets of their
fathers and husbands, and in some way held re-
sponsibe for expenses They understand this
in Holland, Dutch wives often taking the most
active share In their husbands trade and it is
common remark there that when women have
the direction Of the purse and trade their hus-
bands seldom become bankrupt.
