A Prolific Composer.

In 1915, Schubert wrote nearly hundred
longs, besides his symphonies and other
compositions. Everything etouched turned
to music, from the most lovely poems to
the most worthless verses the ext mattered
little to him If only he could set it to music.
1t was during this year that he wrote the
famous Erl-king," through which he first
became known to the public. "When ]
finish one song" he says, 81 turn to the
next" He wrote with the greatest ease, and
never corrected his work. We are told that
once, during stroll through little village,
he happened TO see volume Of Shake
speare, and on reading Hank, bark, the
lark at heavens gate sings" he said sob,
such melody has come into my head; if
only had music-paper at hand ?" Some
one drew some slaves on bill of fare, and
there, amid the noise and confusion of an
inn, he wrote the lovely song that bears
that title. Schubert was obliged to sup.
port himself from his songs, and as few Of
them were ever published, it is mystery
how he ever managed to live" From
Bach to Wagner" By Agatha Tanis, in 50.

COWBOYS LIFE.
How he Bakcs his Bread and Cooks his
Meals.

The life of the average cowboy is not SO
romantic as sometimes painted. They work
hard, have little variety of food and lead q
lonesome life. OF course they have oil they
wish to eat, such as it is, but they do not get
chance to step into Young's very often,
you may rest assured While to the home
ranch they have some of the comforts of
life. They have chance to sleep under q
roof, generally ON blanket on the floor,
and they can sit down to n table while they
eat their bread and bacon and drink their
black coffee. And during the evenings they
spend their time reading, writing to some
fair maid they have met ut ball at Uvalde
or Del Rio or telling stories and singing
songs. When they go off COW hunting they
take sack, put in it some -four, baking
powder, piece of fat bacon, some coffee
and sugar and little salt. This they throw
over the horses back. They take skillet
and hang it to the saddle and hang q coffee
pot to the horses neck. Their six-shooter
is in belt around their waist. They ride
off fifteen or twenty miles from nowhere.
The sun beginning to get low they dis
mount, stake out the pony and proceed to
get supper Gathering a few sotol stocks a
fire is started. Some water is dipped up
from the puddle where the horses have
been drinking and the cattle wading about.
The coffee-po. is filed and placed
on the fire to boil. Bread must be made.
The cowboy has to have hot bread three
times day. They cut off few slices OF
bacon, put it in the skillet and fry it out.
The meat is picked out, leaving the hot
grease, TO which they add little water, put
in flour, some baking powder and little
salt. This they stir up till 1t is doughty;
then they play with it little while with
their hands. Finally it is put back in the
skillet, the cover put on and fire placed
above, below aud around. In q few mo-
ments the bread is baked or fried. Now
the festive cowboy eats his supper-coffee,
meat and bread. The same for breakfast
and the same for dinner, varied somewhat
if he happens to kill o deer or an antelope.
Supper over, seeing that his pony is all
right, he spreads his blanket on the ground,
puts his saddle under his head for q pillow,
places his shooting iron where it will be
handy and goes to sleep. The bowling
coyotes gather around him, but he peace
fully sleeps; the sportive yinegarone and
gay centipede may linger near, the hirsute
tarantula may with measured tread walk
over his face, perchance some lonely rattle.
snake may insinuate himself into the folds
of hia blanket but he sleeps the sleen of
the tired. The lightnings may fash, thun-
ders roll and the torrents descend, but II
makes no difference-the cowboy is still
there and is going to sleep till it is time to
make bread for breakfast. This life no
leads for two or three weeks, or till his
provisions run short. and he, getting hun.
cry and lonesome and wishing to see the
boys, returns to the ranch for day or two.

How can they 60 into society and belong to
a swell club on pittance? Because they
actually economize by going in society
and belonging to swell club. Society

clothe themselves almost gratis. They are
invited to dinner parties in season on an
average of five times week. Therefore
they live most of the time on the fat of the
land for nothing. All the entertainers de-
mand from such man in return Ia that
when he comes to them to be fed he will
behave himself. By the people who feed
him he is also invited to the opera and
theater. From his box seat he can look
down upon people far wealthier than he
perhaps upon one of the partners of the
house which pays him his pittance of sal
ary. His holiday in summer he divides be.

the better, for in that case he can sponge

club connection of swell with limited
income has the usefulness of enabling him
to get credit. He can go to fashionable
tailor and dress far beyond his means and
yet keep the duns at bay by small payments
on account. The same tactics can be en-
ployed with other tradespeople. He. gets
along swimmingly by paying for about ten

How Rolled Gold Is Made.

Rolled gold is made by casting an ingot
of brass, and while this is still hot pouring
upon it thin layer of gold alloy. The in
got when cold is forced between steel rollers
until long, thin ribbon is produced, Of
which the proportion Of gold and brass is
the same as of the ingot. The percentage
of gold is reduced as low as two or three
per cent. This rolled gold is used in maxi
ing cheap bracelets and watchchains, and
costs but little more than brass. 1t wears
from one to ten years.

Priority of Invention.

From the Electrical Review.
The following are points in decisions
on priority of invention
The party who first reduces an in
vention to actual use is entitled to
the patent for it, although the other
party may have first conceived it, if
he did not exercise reasonable dill
gence in reducing it to practice.
If a party who first conceived ma
chine followed up the idea diligently,
and was the first to reduce it to actu-
al practice, he is entitled to a patent
for it, although his competitors had
complete working drawings of it pre-
viously prepared, and had obtained q
patent.
Whoever first reduces an invention
to practice and makes an application
OF it to use, will usually be the prior
inventor.
In order to defeat a patent the
courts require it to be shown that ans
other not only conceived the inven.
ton in dispute before the patentee,
but was also the first to perfect and
adopt the same to practical use, or
was using reasonable diligencefor that
purpose.
The parties who first embodied an
invention in a machine which they
kept in operation afterward for actual
use, beside manufacturing and selling
other machines, are prima facie enti-
tied to that patent.
He is the inventor, entitled to the
protection of the patent law, who is
first to complete the invention and
publish it to the world, and not he
who confines the knowledge Of it to his
client.
When an invention consists Of q
combination of elements, the date
when all the elements are combined is
the date of invention,
When one is first to conceive an in.
vention, he throws aside all evidences
ofthe conception, makes no efforts to
complete or introduce it to the public,
and delays making an application for
a patent for nearly four years after
another has brought it into extensive
use, he has standing as an inventor.

A Long Headed Lady.

A beautiful and bashful young wom-
an OF nineteen summers called recently
at the Office of a life insurance agent,
and asked him timidly if he could tell
how long people of a certain age would
live.
Madam" replied the agent, cough
ing respectfully behind a prospectus,
and drawing his chair near to her,
"here are our tables OF expectation
and average mortality, which contain
all the information upon the subject
that you can desire"
"Well," said she, chow long will
man of sixty seven, and who eats peas
with his knife live?''
According to our table, madam"
replied the agent, he should, on the
average, survive eleven years, three
months and sixteen days"
"That," said the visitor, "would be
till the 21st of April, 1896"
"Precisely, madam, on the average
expectation of mortality, for we must
all die and it is, therefore, well to in
sure against loss to the loved ones in
company whose character is"
"And how much could insure his
life for?"
"Oh, for any amount-say SIC, 900"
he answered, taking up blank form
application. LET me recommend the
unexpected advantages offered by our
non-forfeitable endowment policy"
"Well," said the young woman, ri
think, then, that I'll marry him."
ENSURE him, you mean, corrected
the agent.
Marry him; you insure him. You
see, she added, with burst of con-
tidence, II love Herbert, and Mr..
Dawkins is old enough to benny grand
father. But Herbert is poor and 1
just worship the corner lots that Mr..
Dawson builds on. And Herbert is
very patient, and says that if l will
only fix day, no matter how long as
he will have to wait, he will be happy.
And now you say Mr.. Dawkins will die
by the 21st of April, 1896; and as it
would not be decent to marry again
till I've been a year in mourning. I'll
arrangeto marry Herbert on the 22d
OF April, 1897, and if Mr.. Dawkins
doesen't die by then you'll give me
$40, 900, Oh, thank you!'' and with
a deep bow she swept out ofthe office.

A Bull Pups Fidelity.

Philadelphia Times: Thomas Nc.
Clone, of 11O7 Locust street, is the
owner OF a bull pup that he is willing
oback against the canine world for
intelligence. In the rear of Mr.. Me-
Clones house is cellar twelve feet
deep. The entrance to the cavern is
covered with a rickety trap-door.
Several days ago the lit lie child Of one
of Mr. McGlone's neighbors wandered
into the yard and was enjoying q
romp with the bull pup, when it fell
on the cellar door. The door culver
ed and gradually sagged downward on
its rusty hinges. The pup saw the
child's peril, and springing forward,
grabbed it's dress between his teeth,
and, bracing himself, tugged with
might and main to pull the child back
on terra firma.
The door continued to sink, how
ever, and the dog was not heavy
enough to support the weight of the
child. Heseemed to realize this, but
nevered wavered in his duty, and
when the door fell with a crash the
dog and child went down together
The heavy door fell on the dogs back
as he stood on the cellar floor with
the child lying between his four legs.
The child's cries and the dogs howls
ATTRACTED the attention of Mr.. Nc
Clone, who rescued them both from
the pit. The child was pnini4red, but
the dog was considerably bruised.
"The pup undoubtedly saved the
child's life," said Mr.. McGlone. land

| That success inspires envy and dishonest
competition is well known. The force of
this must often have occurred to IL Balti-
more house which is known everywhere
| We refer to The Charles A. Vogeier Com
pany, the excellence OF whose goods, the
magnitude OF whose enterprise and the in
tegrity of whose business dealings are recog-
nized throughout the commercial world.
Time and again have they been compelled
to defend their rights against those who
sought to wrest from them the legitimate
fruits OF their labor and enterprise. Last
year in London, England, an INSCRIPTIONS
dealer sought to place so-called st.
Davids Oil on the market the
strength OF the great popularity OF
st. Jacobs Oil. Thanks to the English law,
the High Court of Justice promptly issued
perpetual Injunction against defendant
and imposed heavy damages. This decis:
ion was really an Endorsement OF the action
of American Courts, for some years ago the
United States Court at Cleveland Ohio,
issued Il like order in Il similar case and
awarded .he Baltimore house 81 900 dam
ages. The Charles A. Vogeer Company
has again been called upon to de-
fend its rights and has recently
instituted suit in the circuit court
OF Baltimore City for injunction and dam
ages. No doubt the best evidence OF the
marvellous efficacy OF St. Jacobs Oil as the
conquerer of Pain is to be found in the many
unsuccessful attempts to trade upon its
reputation.

The California Gold Discovery.

The man who discovered gold in
California in 1913 died recently and
with a commendable appreciation of
romance, he died "broken-hearted and
poverty stricken" His death will re.
call to the "old Forty miners" and to
all who remember the gold excitement:
one OF the most romantic incidents in
history. When Marshall's child found
the first nugget of gold on the Pacific
slope, Missouri and Arkansas were
the only States north of Texas and
west of the Missouri river that had
been admitted into the Union, and
Texas and Iowa were under their first
State administrations. The bank of
ultima thule, and the region be-
yond the Rocky Mountains was
an unknown land. The small set
Elements on the Pacific coast were
but far off colonies. The tide OF emil
grafton from the Eastern States had
already set westward, but it was ex.
tending only as the cheap agricultural
lands attracted farmers. Rapid as
the growth of the West had been
lOhip, Illinois and Kentucky were yet
called the West) it's growth had been
presaic. But Marshall's discovery OF
gold gave it a romantic impetus
From every state the adventurous
went to the new El Dorado, and the
trans-Rocky Mountain country be,
came known, and parts OF it became
as rapidly populous as the accessible
states along the Mississippi, but with
another class. In 1850 California
had s4aore than $4,000 inhabitants,
most OF whsm were adventures; and
in 1860 it had nearly 100000, which
was the most rapid increase of popu-
lation in one decade that any state
has made. People went not only
from other states Of the Union, but
from ether e0Hntries as well.
How much richer these discoveries
of precious metals have mada us is
only partially shown by the relief they
gave the world in it's need of gold and
silver; but the magnitude of this con-
trihqtiop 10 itself romatic. The esti-
mate of the amount Of gold and silver
produced In the United States in l847
was less than 100000; in 184s, it
was $4,000, 900; in 1s4e, it was
$40, 900, 900; and it reached it's high
EST point in 1878, when the produc-
ton was estimated at more than
$96, OOO, 600; asd a4r total produc-
ton OF gold and silver since ts47, is
$2,O74, 545, 900. This is little less
than the total production of precious
metals i.a Mexico from the time Of
their discovery there by Europeans till
1875.
