Inventive Faculty Of Women.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in one of
his charming essays. dwells on the lack
OF the inventive faculty Of women.
This, says the Providence Journal, is
curiously verified by the rolls OF the
patent Office. Scarcely / per cent. OF
all the hundreds OF thousands OF pat
ents issued annually in the United
States are granted to women. There
is not single model OF an important
invention by woman on exhibStion
at the patent office. Such as arethere
are very small and simply devices Of
no particular Importance. OF the ar
ticles used by women, such rs c0rsets,
glove-fasteners, sewing machines, j
washing pins, needles,
churns, shoe-buttoners, fans, ,frnit- Jars,
button-fasteners, pianos, and other
musical instruments, music-hold
patterns and the thousand and one
other articles made for the fair sex,
90 per cent. are the inventions OF men.

From the Youths Companion.
A venerable clergyman OF Virginia
said lately, "Men OF my profession see
much OF the tragic side OF life. Beside
a death-bed the secret passions, the
hidden evil as well as the good in
human nature, are very often dragged
to the light. l have seen men die in
battle, children, and young wives in
their husbands arms, but no death
ever seemed so pathetic to me as that
OF an old woman, a member of nv
church.
81 knew her first as n young girl,
beautiful, gay, full OF spirit and vieor.
She married, and had four children.
Her husband died and left her penni-
less. She taught school, she painted,
she sewed; she gave herself scarcely
time to eat or sleep. Every thought
was for her children, to educate them,
to give them the same chance which
their father would have done.
"She succeeded; sent the boys to
college and the girls to school. When
they came home, pretty, refined girls,
and strong young men. abreast with
all the new ideas and tastes of the
time, she was a worn-out, common
place old woman. They had their
own pursuits and companions. She
fingered among them for two or three
years and then died of some sudden
failure in the brain. The shock woke
them to a consciousness of the truth.
They hung over her, as she lay un-
conscious, in an agony of grief. The
eldest son, as he held her in his arms,
cried:
"'You have been good mother to
us,'
Her face colored again, her eyes
kindled into q smile, and she whis-
pered, You never said so before,
John. Then the light died out and she
was gone.
How many men and women sacrifie ee
thei: own hopes and ambitions, their
strength, their life itself, to their chill
drell, who receive it as q matter OF
course, and beerudge u caress word
OF gratitude, in payment for all that
has been given them. Boys, when you
come back from college, don't con-
slider that your only relation to your
father is so get as much money as
the governor will stand" Look at
his gray hair, his uncertain step, his
dim eyes, and remember in whose ser
vice he has grown old. You can never
pay him the debt you owe, but at least
acknowledge it before it is too late.

A Story About Evarts,

l heard funny story about Sena

renee which happened when he was
secretary OF state under Hayes, and
it was told ME by one Of Mr.. Evarts
intimate friends. Evarts, you know,
is one Of the best livers in the country.
He likes terrapln and he can tell you
to the year the age OF old wine or fine
brandy. He spends thousands of
dollars upon the stomachs OF himself
and his friends, and nevertheless he
seems to have no more flesh than IL
scarecrow. and his skin hangs in wrlnk-
les over the bones of his snatomy.
The scene was in the Cooper Institute.
New York. The time was that of q
great public meeting at which William
NJ. Evarts-he was then secretary
was to be among the speakers. A
long, lank Vermonter was present
early at the meeting, and lie was very
anxious to see Mr.. Evarts, whom he
spoke of as E-varts, pronouncing the

time new man came upon the plat
form he wanted to know if that was
E-varts. At last the great secretary
OF state shambled up to the rostrum,
and the man was notified that there
at last WAS Mr.. Evarts. He looked at
him for full moment and then turn.

General Notes.

This had better come to a close.
Yosemite is for California what Cham
ouni is for Switzerland, a place to both
love and be proud of. Perhaps I have
been too ford in my descriptions, and
have over-estimated it. If go, could
find good company who have done the
same. The great registers kept in the
valley contain some eloquent tributes
to It's grandeur and beauty. Ralph
Waldo Emerson, who is apt to be cold
and classical in his criticism. for once
laws aside his statelIness and gives
a genuine Yankee remark: This
is the only place that comes up
to the brag"-a remark which
quite fills the BILL" Horace Greeley's
opinion has been at length deciphered,
and is found To be highly compliment
ary. Pictures are sold in the valley
showing Mrs. Langtry standing on the
brink of a frightful precipIce. The
truth OF the matter is that the Jersey
Lily came into the valley one day, re-
manned in her room till supper, and left
the next morning. Some interesting
facts can be obtalned from the Com
wears from 1866 to. 1885. IS, 045 persons
visited the valley. England more
than ou:numbers all other foreign
visitors combined; tor John Bull likes
to know and see what there is in the
world. The tabular list shows
the number of visitors from Utah
to be very few; for 1885 two
only, and one each for the two
preceding years. This year the number
was increased to five. Monterey, on
the contrary, has been seen by a large
number of Utonians. There are two
reasons for this-frst, the difficulty in
reaching the valley and next, because
our people naturally prefer a change
from mountain to ocean scenery. This
letter, although strung out to undue
length, does not even mention some i'm
portant sights. Sentinel Rock, Wash

should have got few words
at least, but this brings me to
the original statemeDt-the only
way to know the Yosemite IS to see it,
