A large fortune has been reaped by a
miner who invented a metal rivet or
eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat
or trousers pockets to resist the strain
Caused by the carriage of pieces of ore
or heavy tools.
In a recent legal action it transpired
in evidence that the inventor of the
metal plates used to protect soles and
heels from wear sold upward of u, 000,
000plates in 1879, and 1887 the num-
Der reached l43, 600, 600, producing rea-
ized profits of Il, 250,O00
AS large a sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted glass bell to
hang over gas to protect ceilings from
being blackened, and scarcely less
lucrative patent was that for simply
putting emery powder on cloth.
Frequently time and circumstances
are wanted before an invention is APP
preciated, but it will be seen that pa
thence is well rewarded, for the inventor
of the roller skate made over 81 ,000,-
600, Notwithstanding the fact that his
patent had nearly expired before its
value was ascertalned.
The gimlet-pointed screw has pro-
duced more wealth than most silver
mines, and the American who first
thought of putting copper tips to chill

bonds.
Upwards of $4,000 year was made
by the inventor of the common needle
threader To the foregoing might be
added thousands of trihing but useful
articles from which handsome incomes
are derived or for which large sums
have been paid.
Few inventions pay better than popu-

The sale of the little wooden figure
"John Gilpin," was incredibly large
for many years, and very ingenious
toy, known as the wheel of life, is sale
to have produced upwards of $5OO00(
profits to its inventor.
One of the most successful of moder1
toys has been the chameleon top" the
sale of which has been enormous. The

This Is a good piece Of liternry' news that
comes from Boston A man who was convicted
OF mutilating book which he had drawn from
the Public Library Of that city was sentenced
70 five months Imprisonment This institution,
as IL well known, is ono Of the best Of its kind
In tho country. 1t furnishes instruction and
entertainment 70 all comerS Under certain
reasonable restrictions anybody and everybody has
access 10 It's well-flled shelves, without money
and without price. Therefore, he who wsntonly
Injuries one Of its books is an enemy 70 the
public. and as such, deserves 70 be severely dealt
with. This particular culprit got on eaSily;
he ought 20 thank his stars that the Judge gave
him FIVE months instead Of fifteen. AS good

One Of the most magnificent Of modern bene-
factions has been fardily acknowledged. Tho
resembling Of the decree Of exile against the
Duke dAuniale marks the first exception that
has, been made to the operation Of the mex
pressibly foolish law Of Punishment enacted in
1885; and it is 10 be attributed to growing
feeling OF impotence and shame on the part
Of the French people, who with all their faults
are not ungenerous. Chantilly with its library
and art collection was pnncely gift to the
Institute and the Nation, and the continued
exile Of the Duke dAumale was discreditable
TO France. The resembling Of the decree win
ENABLE distinguished Orleans soldier, who has
never plotted against his country, to return to
Paris and to end his days in retirement on the
estates in the west Of France to which be and
his brothers have always been passionately
attached. II viii also relieve the Nation from
the reproach of receiving a splendid benefac-
ton with ingratitude and contempt.
The Duke 6Aamale as the fourth son Of
King Louis Philippe enjoyed only a brief share
Of the triumphs and prosperity Of his fathers
reign. He was a child when the revolution Of
1880 occurred, and he was only twenty-six
when the Republic was proclaimed in 1913.
When the crisis OF the fortunes Of the Orleans
dynasty came, he was Governor General Of
Algeria, with 80, 900 soldiers under him. If
he had desired TO defend his fathers throne
and to dispense the revolutionists he could have
depended upon those soldiers TO follow him
| back to France. But like the other Orleans
| Princes, he preferred to submit and To find a
refuge In England. There he remained until

AMENDIEG TIE ASSEMBLY, RULES

The amendments to the Assembly rules
which General Hustled has prepared are well
calculated to expedite the business OF legisla-
ton and at the same time TO improve the quail
ity of the outcome. II they prevail, the powers
and duties of the Speaker win be somewhat en-
larged, the existing plan for the Introduction
Of bills will be altered, the number Of stand
ing committees will be increased, and other
changes will be effected. Adding to the CON-
mittees will partially relieve the embaTass-
menu under which the Speaker commonly la
bors by placing more chairmanships at his
disposal. But regarding it from any other
point Of view, it is perhaps doubtful if the
present list Of committees needs increasing.
The amendment which provides that there
shall not be more than one roll-call for alb
sentees ought to be adopted. IL would save
a good deal Of valuable time every session,
would go far to cure the evil of absenteeism,
and thus to secure more general attention on
the part of all the members to all the measures
that come up for third reading.
II the Committee on EngroSsed Bills did its
whole duty there would be no need Of Com
mittee on Legislation-one Of the new com
mittees proposed But experience shows that
IN spite Of the Committee on EngroSsed Bills
measures slip through both In the Senate and
Assembly which are not, as they are reported
to be, properly engrossed.n Ii is provided
that the Committee on Legislation "shall cor
rect the bills referred to 1t to avoid repetiaons
and unconstitutional provisions, and TO insure
consistency with existing statutes" it shall also
report whether general law may not serve the
purpose better than the particular measure
which may be referred to ii. A committee
which would thoroughly perform these duties
would do the State signal service. sun an
other excellent amendment provides that no
bill affecting rights Of individuals or OF phi
vate or municipal corporations, except as it
affects the people generally shall be reported
until there has been public advertisement
TO all the parties interested.
The amendments have not yet been passed
upon by the committee. But they are so
sensible and conservative that II Is likely that
most, IL not all, Of them will be adopted.
