our principal Office located in Washington,
directly opposite the United States Patent
Office, we are able to attend to all patent
business with greater promptness and dcs-
patch and at less cost than other patent at
toneys who are at a distance from Wash

associate attorneys" We make preliminary
examinations and furnish opinions as to
patentablity, free of charge, and all who are
interested in new inventions and patents are
invited to send for copy of our "Guide for
obtaining Patents" which is sent free to any
address, and contains complete instructions
how to obtain patents and other valuable

So he went to the boneyard and borrowed

So a neck round the rope of his mule he then

In day and night he had made whole

When for grim satisfaction he gave loud

In hole got his steed, and could not stir

When he hacked off the mule of his knife
with leg.
As Cesar trudged onward he soon came in
sight
OF Alphonse and Cindy, whose teeth shook
with fright.
The cold sweat came through them like ice
through a bag,
And they pulled out their chin to wipe oTa

When Cesar came up Don Alphonse drew his

And ne cried, Bloody Cesar, thou seekest

It is not too soon to begin provision
for the winter days, now not far away.
Orly few years ago it was quite COM
mon in country houses to let all fires go

every morning; but improvements in
stoves and base-burners and heating ap-

is easier than not to have greenery all
winter, transferring from the garden to
the house plants that delight in warmth
and enliven our apartments when the
snow and sleet beat upon the window
pane, but they serve as monitors, telling
when our rooms are too hot and dry.
fOurishing most when the air is most
healthful for our own lungs. The much
disputed question as to wholesomeness
of having plants are encouraged to stay.
They ask sunny exposure, freedom
from dust, sufficient moisture, a gener-
Gus soil, loving care, and in return they
give US beauty, fragrance, and the con-
slant memory of summer days. Many
of our cOmmonest seeds will make beau
ty in the house. The sweet potato vine
is charming climber. A carrot or a
turnip followed out. kept filed with
water, and suspended in the window
will cover itself with the most beautiful
foliage; cone filled with wheat and
set in glass of water reveals all the
mysteries of termination and growth.
These simple adornments are within the
reach of the poorest, and time spent
upon them is by no means idly spent.
The great Architect shows his infhite
skill in the pencllings of this humblest
flower that grows by the roadside as
we'll as in the fashloning of mountain
ranges or the grouping Of starry worlds.
They who see not the existence of beau
ty for its own sake in the world are
blind. % Those
who have sunny window in their kitch.
ems can easily have foarishing plants
for they delight in the moist, steamy all
of the kitchen. On wash days it is 9

leaves with tepid water, and when they
are drained return them to their shelve;

mines of silver and gold At Palisades
we traverse another canyon, though not
quite SO remarkable as some heretofore
mentioned. At one point between these
mountain walls. they threaten to close
together above us. so near do they ap-
proach each other. At another point,
close to the track, plain grave-stone
marks the resting place of some one bur-
led in this wild spot We learn that it
is the place where maiden daughter of
an emigrant was buried years ago, her
grave being marked by a rude board by
her friends. The railroad men when
they came named the place Maiden's
Grave, and caused a marble slab to be
erected. We pass the hot saline springs.
where the enterprising manufacturer has
come to make immense quantities of salt;
culiar interest for hundreds Of miles.
But we are again climbing up to pass
the summit of the Sierra Nevadas, and
the air and white-capped mountains ID
the distance show us that it is very cold
and snowy here in the winter. Here
are the long snow sheds that are erected
over the railway to keep it from being
buried in winter. One shed is said to
be 42 miles long-it is long enough at
least. But we have reached Reno in
the noted mining region, and learn some
thing of the silver this state produces.
We are on the down hill slope of the
Sierras and ere long reach Sacramento,
in California; this is 1776-old Inde-
pendence Day fgures-miles from Oma-
ha and 139 from San Francisco. We
pause here at this capital city of the
state, just for one meal, and are on our
way to the city Of the Golden Gate.
There is not much more of interest to be
seen till we reach Oakland, the beautiful
city across the bay. Here we take the
ferry and are carried over the water to
San Francisco. After a few days in
this magnificent city, l took the steamer
and arrived in Casper, after days ride

old men strolled in for refreshment.

TIrTLE-TATTLE.
FROM THE sERyIAN FOLKLORE.
Fair Nathalie at evening tide

Fair Nathalie at evening tide
Walked out with her own true love,
The thick green grass beneath their feet,
And the thick green trees above.
Then Zuska said, my own sweetheart,
Give me one kiss before we part"
The listening grasses heard and saw,
And could not the secret keep
The dear. sweet secretl Every blade
Whispered the tale to the sheep
The silly sheep, who were so glad
They straightway told the shepherd lad.
The shepherd told traveller
(For he loved fair Nathalie);
The traveller told a sailor boy,
One night on the lonely sea;
The sailor to his rowing ship
Too quickly let the secret slip.
For the ship to the salt sea waves,
That ever run to and fro,
Said, "When the inland rivers come
TO mix with the oceans flow,
Ask after Nathalie. pretty one,
And if the handsome Zuska won."
So at the last that river heard
That flowed by Nathale's cot,
And the maids mother one fine day
Went there with her water.pot,
And heard the tale, and told the maid,
And many an angry word was said.
Nathalie blamed the river much,
And the river blamed the sea,
The sea said with an angry roar,
"The ship is to blame. not me."e
The ship, tossed wildly to and fro,
Creaked out, "The sailor told me So"
The sailor said, 1.-The traveller
Is the one that should be blamed"
The traveller said, the shepherd boy
Should never the tale have named;
/ surely thought, so far away,
No harm can come from what say"
The shepherd blamed the tattlin9 sheep.
The sheep cried, "Oh and alas
So much Of grief and quarreling come
Because of the tell-tale grass.
What on earth did it see amiss
In little Nathalie's parting kiss ?"

SHOT MAKING.

A shot tower certainly a curious place
to the uninitiated visitor, and the pro-
cess of manufacturing the leaden missiles
is most interesting. Of course it is a
considerable elevation, and the height of
many of the towers is over 200 feet. As
pure lead will not make perfect globules,
it is necessarily tempered" This
'temper" is prepared by the addition of
ingredients, of which arsenic is the
main property. 1t is run into bars con-
venient for use, and, with pig lead,
hoisted to the top of the tower. Here
are two small rooms, one about IL feet
below the other, and each containing
two huge kettles in both rooms-as each
room has separate shaft-streams of
shot are constantly flowing. At the
pours into square pans perforated at one
side. These perforations are large or
small, according to the size of shot de-
sired, and separate the mass into dis
tlnct, delicate cleaning streams, which,
in turn, as they come in contact with
the atmosphere. separate into perfect
globules or shot, which are cooled in
their 200 feet journey and the water
into which they fall below.
Out of the shot pit, up through the
water, an endless belt, with cups at
tached, carries the wet shot, depositing
it in huge revolving heated cylinder,
where the globules are thoroughly dried.
From this they pass out upon descend
ing series of slightly inclined tables, the
lower edge of each one being few inch
es above, and distant from the succeed
ing table. The perfect globules, from
their specific gravity, go bounding over
these spaces; but the imperfect shot are
gradually forced along until they reach
them, when they fall into receptacles.
and being remolten, go over the same
journey again. From these sorting ta-
bles the shot are carried to a series of
sizing sieves, with perforated sheet-brass
bottoms. Moved back and forth by
machinery, the shot of smaller size
pass through these perforations, large
shot of different sizes, from the motion
of the sieves, and from their weight,
gradually sorting themselves with abso-
lutte perfection. From the sorting sieves
the shot pass into polishing barrels,
containing preparation, the main con-
stituent of which is plumbago, and,
emerging from these, FURNISHED like
silver, find their way into repositories in
the story below. to the mouth of each Of
which is attached a delicately-adjusted
automatic scale, which will discharge
precisely 20 pounds of shot into the bags
