Tho Ape ofInventIon.

With thirty-one inventions registered
ut the patent office for the year 1879,
Kansas may be well said to be coming
To the front" with inventive talent, and
"bacII east will have to look to her lau-
rels, or be outstripped in scientific pro-
gress as well as other pursuits.
The latest and most successful that has
come To our notice is the case of Mr.. VI.
o. Smith, farmer in quite moderate
circumstances, from Brown county, who
has received letters patent to' rubber
cushioned doublctree for draft teams,
which, from present indications,
will rcvolutionizc the draft system. 1t
is so simple that any farmer or teains:er
can make his own, and positively pre-
vents gals or sore shoulders-so detri-
mental To the efficiency of the draft
horse. Mr.. Smith is not Il patent right
man." in the general acceptation, hav-
ing never handled patent before, but it
doesn't require much effort to dispose of
this invention, as parties from Falls City,
Nebraska, and Atchison, have made per
sonal application and already taken six
teen states and three territories. Mr..
Smith has only twelve counties left in
Kansas, and will be in Emporia this
week and offer Lyon county and adjoin-
ing territory, not sold at that date, pre-.
paratory to starting for the east to man
ulacture on q large scale.

People are apt to be careless with that
to which they are accustomed. This, no
doubt, is one reason why there are so
many lamp accidents, but no amount of
care is proof against such calamities.
A fall, miss-step, or a child at play,
may upset a lamp. There are many
ways by which lamp accidents are liable
to happen in any family. The new Har-
ris & Smith Safety Lamp is the only sure
preventive of accidents. Sold by North

From the Christian Union, August
%, 1877:
Ever since DIR. VIM. NJ. Giles, of 100
West Broadway, n. Y, extended frank
invitation to owners of lame horses to
bring their equine property round to his
place of business for free treatment, the
corner of White street and West Broad
way has come to resemble a horse fair
The doctors bold defiance, which is thus
thrust upon the curious attention of his
neighbOrs, is based on his earnest belief
in his Iodide Ammonia Liniment, which
is now preferred to all others by the
stock raisers and sporting men of the
country. A valuable horse of the
writer's was kicked on the hook. Swell
ing and lameness ensued, rendering the
animal nearly worthless. We were ad-
vised to try Giles Liniment, and are
gratified to say it worked like a charm.
About two inches of bone came away,
the sore healed up, and the lameness and
swelling are fast disappearing.
