Patents aud Patent LAWYERS.

Ten years ago there were on the yearly
average some 2O,OcO patents applied for
Two-thirds were usually granted and the
others either refused or abandoned Then
the patent lawyer was only just becoming cs
tablishod as Il practitioner in the distinct
field of patents Now there are about 5000
applications each year. About 26,0OC
are granted Many Of the devices for which
letters are issued are trivial or chiuerical OF
SO useless that nothing ever comes Of them
Patents are issued now On each Of several
parts Of one machine, where formerly one
general patent covered the whole thing
This is in part attributed to the influence Of
lawyers. Many of the letters now given are
for improvements INSTEAD Of original de
vices. New York Sun.

countryman by the bar looked Interested
and the man exclaimed pettishly that he

man spun the dollar. called tails and
won.
Mere luck" said the countryman, dis
gustedly, ''or else trick LII 60 you an

spun the dollar The man called tails,
and tails appeared. As the countrymon'

Five dollars on it, said the country
man. hotly
The man put mp the money with the
bartender. and, as the countryman spun
the dollar, called tails five successive
times The dollar settled tails four times,
and the man pockcted the bet Then he
said
Look here, grecny, since I've won

statistics Concerning Tobacco,

1t is not without reason that it has beer
said that you can prove anything by stats
tics Under Louis XVI for instance, thu
tobacco tax only produced co., 900 francs, be
cause the consumption was small At thil
time the average duration of life was twenty
seven years. Now the tobacco tax produces
10000 600, and the average duration of life
is forty-.hree years. Redskins, who suffes
neither from diabetes nor from pituite, have
always the calumet between their lips. The
Persians, the type Of Caucasian purity say
that AL joys come to the heart through To-
bacco" Where do you find such handsome
old patriarchs as among the Turks Yet In
their country the pipe is kept alight as re-
lgiously as Vesta's fire in ancient Rome. In
those climes the strongest mark of emotion
that one can give is to take ones pipe out OF
ones mouth. New York Commercial Adver-

Characters In u Novel.

As to dialogue. remember that your
characters should reveal themselves in
dialogues as much az in action They
must speak as they think, each after his
own manner 1t is true that in real life
most people seem to speak with the same
forms and fashions and formula; make
the same little jokes and employ the same
little metaphors; going OH with these
without the least sense of WEAKNESS till
the stage. or the novel. or a comic paper
supplies them with new set You must

Hnyv tn Make Good Koumiss.

The Bashkirs are renowned for Their
skill In making koumiss, or fermented
mares milk, which is now extensively
consumed by patients suffering from dys'
peptic and wasting diseases, and so easy is
it Of digestion that invalids drink ten,
fifteen. and occasionally even twenty
champagne bottles day, while Bashkir
is able to overcome a couple of gallons at
a sitting. and in hour or two to be ready
for more To insure good koumiss it is
essential that the mares be OF the steppe
breed and fed on steppe pasture lhey
are MIXED from four 10 eight times Il day,
the foal being kept apart from the mother,
and allowed to suck only in the night
time The mare will not give her milk,
however, unless at the time OF milking
her foal Is Brought to her side, when such
is the Joy Of reunion that after sundry
acts of loving and smelling and kissing,
the maternal feeling shows itself by her
sometimes giving milk from both nipples
st once
Milking is done by the Bashkir women
who. taking q position close to the hind
legs of the mare, rest Oh one knee and on
the other support pail directly under the
uddcr. pulling at each nipple in turn. and
receiving from three to four pints each
time of milking 70 make koumiss the
milk is beaten up in churn (bu: not sufii-
GENTLY to produce butter), and by fermen-
tation is converted after twenty-four
hours into weak koumiss, from which con
dition after twelve hours more it passes
into medium degree of strength whilst
strong koumiss is produced by assiduous
agitation of the milk for two or three days,
and 1t is then said to be slightly intoXica-

Leslngton Mon You NAV me no..

Geo. Rice, who has Just put up tht
stairway in the handsome new residence
OF our esteemed fellow citizen, John NJ.
Rose. called at our office and invited
us to take a peep at the elegant stairway
and trimmings, which we did on Satur-
day last. The newal post is black wal
nut inlaid with white ash, the hand rail
Is black walnut and the balusters white
ash, and the ornamental work is white
pine and bamboo, while the steps proper
are made of Michigan white pine. The
stairway complete was boughtin Lexing
ton, kyYand SHIPPED to this place at a cost
OF S22.5O less than n very similar one in
the residence of Hon. ]. NJ Kash cost
in Cincinnati. The stairway in Mr..
Roses new building is from the we'll
known firm of f. Bush e. Son, papa and
brother of our better seventeen twenti
eths. They stand at the head of the list
for promptness and reliability, and we
respectfully commend them to all who
wish to purchase doors, sash, blinds,
stairways, &c, &c. All who deal with
them can save money, and Mr.. Rice, who
has dealt with them for several
years, says that no firm in Kentucky or
elsewhere is more conscientious and scru-
puIously honest. All who have dealt
with them during n business career of
many years say the same thing, and it
will therefore be safe for any one to buy
of them. If you are thinking of build
ing, send to them for an estimate.
In this connection VIC wish to call
attention to two or three other firms in
Lexington with which it would pay the
people of the mountains to deal, If they
want reliable goods at low prices. g. +,
Brewer & Co. laudle a greater variety
of furniture, carpets, wall paper, window
shades, &c, than any house south of
Mason Il DiXou's line, and will meet
Cincinnati prices on every article they
sell. Louis q Gus Straus, TIE leading
clothiers of Lexington, have the largest
clothing establishment in Eastern Ken
lucky, and sell clothing and gents furn-
ishing goods at prices which they defy
competitors to duplicate, and we bespeak
for them a share Of your patronage.
Otis Snyder, the jeweler, has a long time
since established the fact that, no man in
his line of business in Eastern Kentucky
can compete with him in quality of goods
or low prices, and he is deserving of your
patronage.
Ia conclusion, we think it would pay
all the merchants of Lexington to adver
tise in The HERALD, aud it would then
pay tae people to patronize them. Never
spend money with il man who does not
that is--if you want to buy
goods cheap.

Reliable nat. sTterllng Men.

1t may not be generally known, but
:. NJ. Braun, of Mt. Sterling, as jobber
has sold more goods since he began to
advertise in The HERALD, than any man
in his line of business in Eastern Ken
lucky, and his transient trade has stead
lily increased He told us these facts
himself, but one secret Of his success is
that he advertises and then has the goods
and the prices to back up his advertised
assertion. GIVE him a trial when you
want anything in his line.
Chilos, Thompson & Co., of Mt. Ster-
ling, have almost completely driven out
competition on goods, and nearly every
mountain dealer now buys groceries from
this wei known firm. So much for square
dealing aud straight goods, and now that
they have employed @. ID. Sublett, Of
Salyersyillc, as their travelling man. there
is every reason to believe they will scoop
the swag The Sentincl-Democrat says
of him: &C. ID. Sublett, of Salyeryille,
son of Hon. D. ID. Sublett, has &C.
cepted a position with Chiles, Thompson
& Co., and will travel for them this sea
son. This firm has large aud rapidly
increasing trade in the mountain coun-
ties, and it is nothing more than Just
that they should have a mountain boy
to represent them; and if young Sublett
has any Of the popular ways of the old
man." he will prove a paying invest
ment. We wish him success and extend
him a hearty welcome to Mt. Sterling"
