HINTS TO INVENTORS.

what a Man OF Experience Has tC Say
About Inventions in General.
This is the counsel that an old and
somewhat successful inventor gave me
to-day: MY advice to everybody he
said, lis to have nothing to do with in
venting. 1t is more absorbing, dissi-
pating and Disappointing than gambling.
Not one in one thousand inventions are
new and useful. and not one in one
thousand that are new and useful are
ever introduced. The Patent Office
contains a million splendid devices that
have never been put on the market. If,
however, you are bent on inyenting
something, then have some additional
advice. Don't waste your time and
thoughts On devices that are merely
ornamental, or luxurious, The only in
venton that Is profitable is money
saving device. and if you find that
your mind is running on any thing
else, drop it. Don't be afraid
100 soon that somebody will steal your
invention, for as general thing your
invention is Of no earthly account, and
people would no more steal it than they
would steal inc smallpox. Don't work
too long on an idea until you have
learned the state of the art. The prob
ability is that your machine was patent
ed sixty years ago, and was found to he
worthless. Ifyou really hit upon some
thing good do not file csyeat. Wash
jnUtOn is full of sharks who watch the
caveat record for good inventions, and
who, as soon as they find one, immedi-
ately set to work to prove prior inven-
ton. Finally, never have partner in
your invention. A partner can make
ruinous contracts, or assign your patent
without your knowledge or consent, and
YOU can't help yourself except 10y end.
less and costly litigation. Goodbye

ARTlCHoKES FOR HOGS.
A Cheap and Valuable Food For All Kinds
OF Live Stock.

A Cheap and Valuable Food For All Kinds
OF Live Stock.
Artichokes are similar, but slightly
inferior to potatoes in nutritive value,
but owing to their immense yield and
cheapness of raising, are much more
valuable as stock, particularly hog,
food. Yields of one and two thousand
bushels per acre are obtained, while the
culture is not as costly as that of pota-
toes. The planting is done in about the
same way, but the growth of stalks is so
strong that the ground is soon covered,
and all weeds effectually choked out.
Although the leaves and stalks are
rough and coarse, stock are very fond
of them, and will greedily eat the tops
to the ground if allowed to get to them.
Usually the hogs are turned into the
patch after the tubers have matured,
which will not be until quite late in the
season, and allowed TO do their own
digging. Fed in this way with the tops
left on the ground and the droppings Of
the hogs also, the crop can not fail to
improve the land.
As freezing does not injure the tubers
in the least, either for food or seed, they
can be left in the ground until spring,
and then fed to the hogs. Usually the
hog will leave enough of the tubers in
the ground TO reseed it, if not kept there
too long. Some prefer, however, to let
the hogs clean out the patch thoroughly
and replant in hills or drills, rather than
let volunteer crop come up, Many are
afraid to plant them for fear that once
get them into the land they can not be
eradicated. The fear is unfounded, and
it is strange they are not more widely
grown. The Red Brazilian is consider
ed the best. CoLmaR'S RurdL World.

you have little or no sun. Flowers are
such a necessity, both for health and
culture, that nature to suit all cases has
quite a variety that will grow and flour

nothing more satisfactory. But these
are expensive, unless you have some

Some Fatal Fluids Employed Among tho

Some Fatal FluiIs Employed Among tho
Bush People.
There are several poisons in use
among the aboriginal tribes of Southern
Africa but that extracted from a cater
piller, and designated by the natives
''mangue, - is the most fatal The pain
which the victims suffer who have been
inoculated with il must be fearful in
deed; but it is not long endured, for
two or .hree hours generally puts an
end to the stricken animals existence.
OF course, this time is more or less pro-
tracted by the size of the wound, the
locality in which ii is situated, and the
quantity of the venom used; for instance,
on one of the tributaries of the Fam
bezi, a lioness that had been wounded
at shutdown, did not expire till the fol-
lowing daybreak, during all which time
the cries of anguish which she kept
repeating terribly told how fearfully
the poor creature was suffering. On
examination. this victim of the poisoned
arrow only had a slight puncture be-
meath the skin close to the flank, but
the frmness of the hide had prevented
the missile NOM falling from the wound.
As the habits of semi-barbarous peo-
pie always possess great interest for me,
trust they DO so for my readers, and I
will therefore describe the two other
poisons in use among the Bush people
and the manner in which they are en-
plOyed to serve their purpose First, I
will advert to the juice of the euphorbia.
This is family of plants all alike for
