70 WHOM II MAY g9TgEaE /!

Feeling profoundly grateful for the great
blessing OF restored health, and a renewed
lease of life, and actuated only by a desire
to benefit all as who are afflicted as have
been, a citizen of the county of Christian,
in the State OF Kentucky, do certify that
was afflicted for ten years with a Can Ger on
my face, and was treated by the very best
physicians and surgeons of the country,
each and every one of whom pronounced
my case incurable.
After giving up all hope, and resigning
myself to an early death, 1 happened to
hear of the remarkable cure of Mr.. R b.
Tarpley, of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, and placed
myself under his treatment, and to-day
can say that know that am perfectly
cured, a fact which can be certified 10 by my
neighbors and friends.
My address is Lafay ette, Christian county,
KY. E. g. HESTER
We have known Mr.. K. q. Hester for 30
years. He is a man of strict veracity and
sterling worth, and we know the above facts
to be true.

Margaret Marie Gordon, writing
from Nice to the Home Chronjcle, saws:

a strong dislike to cats; he said that
he felt something like an electric

father ended by being so delighted
that he quite forgot to have an cleo

closest affections, feeding and tending
her as if she were a child.
zone morning, some years after

for cream and fish; no pussy at din
ner, and, in fact, months passed on
and still no pussy. We could hear
nothing of our pet, and We were both
inconsolable. About two years after,
l was again sitting with my father,
when, strange to say, exactly the same
set of circumstances happened. She
was neither hungry, thirsty, dusty
nor footsore, and we never heard any
thing of her intervening history. She
resumed her place as household pet
for many years, until she got into a
diseased state from partaIling too free
ly, it was supposed, of the delicacy OF
raw flesh, and in mercy she was oblig-
ed to be shot. We both suffered 50
much from this second loss that we

Some years ago some devil fish APP

Says an English exchange The in
stance given of the carrying out at
Geeston, in Rutland, of the supersti-
tion that bees will not remain after a
death in the house of their owner, es-
pecally of the owner himself, unless
an intimation be given to them of the
fact, might be multiplied indefinitely,
for it prevails over a considerable por-
tion Of England. In the case men-
toned, the widow knocked at the bee
hives one after the other, repeating
each time the formula, Hes gone, he's
gone" and as the bees hummed in re-
ply it was understood that they accept
ed the news and would stay. In Here
fordshire it is considered sufficient to
tie piece of Grape to stick set in
front of the hives, and in other
counties those or similar precautions
are always observed by persons who
would not lose their bees 1t is diff
cult to account for this widespread be-
lief, or to give any possible conjecture
as to its origin.

Priority OF Invention.
rLe loLIowIng are points in decisiOnl

The following are points in decisions
on priority Of invention:
The party who first reduces an inven-
iion to actual use is entitled to the patent
for IT, although the other party may
ave first conceived 1t, if he did not ex.
src.se reasonable diligence in reducing
1t to practice.
If the party who first conceived a ma
chine followed up the idea diligently,
and was the first 70 reduce it to actual
practtce, he is emitted to patent for it,
although Lis competitors had complete
working drawings Of it previously pre-
pared. and had obtained patent.
Whoever first reduces an invention to
practice. and makes an application Of it
To- use, will usually be held the prior in
ycntor.
In order to defeat patent the courts
.rquirc it to he shown that another not
Jniy conceived the invention in dispute
before the patentee, but was also the first
20 ucffcct and adapt the same to practi-
al u-e, or was using reasonable diligence
far that purpose.
The parties who first embodied an in
scntion in a machine which they kept in
,ueration afterward for actual use be-
eide manufacturing and selling other
machines. are prIma facie entitled to that
pateut
lie Is the inventor entitled to the pro
lection Of the patent law, who is first to
comp etc the invention and publish it to
The world, and not he who confines the
znowlcdge of it to his client.
Where an invention consists of com
Oinatian Of elements, tho date when all
he clements are combined is the date Of
the invention.
When one is Grst to conceive an inven-
hon, throws aside all evidence of the
conception, makes no effort to complete
Or Introduce it to the public, and delays
making an application fora patent nearly
four years after another has brought it
