A large number of patent solicitors were

urge the passage of u bill providing that q
paten, issued in the United States shall run
the full term OF seventeen years, Over 1850
patents are now issued weekly, which in
volve many iniringements upon inventions
already patented, Many senators think
quiring inventors to moro clearly define
their Inventions, and in not withholding
patents In many instances, must soon be
made matter OF legislative enquiry.

A BLOODHOUND THAT LIVED ON
CATS.

Pat Dugan boards, lodges, bathes, and
doctors dogs for $2 per week each,
and sometimes has as many as thirty on
his hands at one time. Mr.. Dugan has
been in tie business fifteen years. Many
strange things have happened in his bus
mess. The strangest was in Washing
ton, nine years ago. A foreigner called
on him, one day. Mr.. Dugan gives this
account of what followed:
"'Do you board dogs?' sed he.
h" 4 do sed I.
"'Well,' sed he, will ye take a ST.
berian bloodhound for five months?'
"T WILL sed I.
'"'Well,' said he, looking at me sharp,
this dog must have cat every day
agreed to do it for $5 a week.
" All right sed he. I'm a Roosian
legations and am not going West till fall.
He counted out the board money for
three months, left me his address and
slid out. The next day the dog was
brung around by servant and put him
in room in the back shed, and the cir
Gus begun. At first it was regular pic
mic. bought cats from boys at ten
cents apiece and coined money. That
dog would bolt 'em, fur and all. After
three weeks cats begun to go up, and ]
soon had to pay twenty-five cents, then
fifty cents apiece. [ advertis ed that
would pay twenty five for good, fat cats
| That worked fce for a couple OF days
and then the Society for the Prevention

There are eight fire extinguishers in

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Cases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid "
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity,
These cases are made from 43 to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
n1ent-it has been made nearly thirty gears.

WHAT PEOPLE READ.-A newsstand
at central point or mucb-traveled
thoroughfare is good criterion of the
Intellectual character of the people who
pass that way Take Fulton and Ham
ilton Ferries, for instance, On the
newsstand at Fulton Ferry, by which
the better class of educated Brooklynltes
pass to and from their homes OF more
than the average in style and comfort,
there may be found all theldaily papers,
the sbest weaklies, and the frst-class
magazines, together with current and
standard novels, bound and in paper.
By way of Hamilton Ferry the wOr king
classes pass to humber homes; and the
newsman there finds his profit in selling
the penny and two~cent papers, and such
literature as negro minstrel song books,
Exposures free Masonry" adventures
of highwavmen, and the novels of Dumas
and Sue and Munro's publications. Prob
ably the poverty rather than the taste OF
his customers dictates his sorry collection,
but the newsman at Hamilton Ferry has
not high opinion of the intellectual
caliber of his customers.-Nea York

HOW LONG TO SLEEP.

Probably 10 better division of time has
ever been made than that into three equal
periods of eight hours each-eight hours
given to business, eight to reading and
improvement, and the remaining eight to
sleep. For myself, l find that nine or
ten hours sleep in single night will
cure me Of all trifing haladies with
which, from time to time l may be afflict
ed. Some extraordinary advice has been
given by certain distinguished persons
with reference devoted to sleep, but each
writer falls into the common blunder of
applying a rule to all which he finds good
in his own case. Bishop Taylor advises
three hours. Wesley suggests six hours
as the least time that will answer. He
declares that during his life he never
knew any one to retain rigorous health,
even for year, with a less quantity than
six hours, and he thought that women
quired more than men. Excess of sleep
is very bad in its influence; produces
dullness in mind and body, corpulency
and disposition to apoplexy; hence Galen
calls sleep the brother of death, and says
that nothing is more pernicious when car
ried TO excess. The Americans should
go to bed at 9 o'clock and rise between,5
and 6. [ do not mean to say that circum-
stances may never justify their citing up
until midnight, or later, but | am simply
interpreting the voice Of physiology. IF
the average American, with the narrow
chest and small vitality, would retire at 9
o'clock he would live some years longer,
and each year would afford him more
happiness and ability to work.-DjO Leu

WHY SUNDAY IS A "GooD: THING. -
You sleep late on Sunday morning, after
the tolls of the week; and that is perhaps
right You rise to a day of leisure
and enjoyment; and it is proper enough
to make Sunday a day of enjoyment.
You go to the house of God; and it is
very charming to hear the music. You
are intellectually fed; and there is great
pleasure in that IF the discourse is
highly adorned, on taking your leisurely
walk home you say: cit was very well
put. 1t was rather an ingenious argu-
ment. do not know as I ever heard
those ideas expressed just in that way
before. The peroration was eloquent.
We have minister that is worth listen
ing to. l enjoy myself in church very
much" You sleep through the night
and rise on Monday morning feeling
"What good thing Sunday isl" But
you plunge into the world; and there is
the same selfshness in it that there was
before. "Men are good, bad and indifer-
ent," you say; II must attend to myself;
[ must protect myself against this one, l
must overbear that one if he stands in my
way" So you go tearing here, hitting
there, shifting in every direction, rushing
one way and another like civilized lion
among children. leaving destruction be-
hind you, with or without provocation as
the case may be.-By Henry Ward

try: "My great-great-grandfather emf

my grandfather lived and died, and was
named after him. The Irish name Of

STEALING LETTERS FOR SIGNS.

The wiclSedness of man is great and its
ways of development are many, but one OF
the queerest of these has come TO light since
the introduction of enamelled letters for
signs in this city, says the Pittsburg CONNER
cial. These letters are cemented on the
outside of show windows and are not bought
for trife. Some of the people who wanted
signs of this kind did not want TO pay for
them and determined to get them for moth
ing. Anybody who has noticed the signs
has observed that in very many instances
here or there letter will be missing. This
is the work of the signs-for-nothing people.
The method employed is to go to the win
dows after night and remove the letters that
suit. Then togoto another window and get
some more and keep this up until all that
are required have been collected. This done
the letters are pasted on the thief's window,
and he is provided with sign that cost moth
ing and is almost certain to escape detection.
The agents think that the missing letters
are due TO carelessness inputthig them up,
he former agents blamed various painters
whose trade is suffering with playing the
vandal, but the storekeepers who have lost
letters are convinced that they have been
stolsr to reappear IN different combinations
