An Anecdote of Advertising.

It is we'll known that at the Pere-la.
Chaise cemetery, near Paris, there
stands in a conspicuous position a
splendid monument to Pierre Caboc-
hard, grocer, with a pathetic inscrip-
ton, which closes thus:
ellis inconsolahle widow dedicates
this monument to his memory, and
continues the same business at the
old shop, 1877 Rue Monffetard."
Now Partisan paper relates that a
short time ago gentleman who had
noticed the above inscription, was led
by curiosity to call at the address
indicated. Having expressed his
desire to see the Widow Cabochard,
he was Immediately ushered into the
presence of a fashionably dressed and
full bearded man, who asked him what
was the object Of his visit.
s'I came to see the Widow Caboc-
hard, SIR"
"Well, sir, here she is"

lady in person.
"slr, am the Widow Cabochard'
81 don't exactly understand you.
I allude to the relict Of the late
Pierre Cabochard, whose monument
I saw Yesterday at the Perela Chaise. -
81 see, I see," was the smiling
rejoinder; "allow me to inform you
that Pierre Cabochard is myth, and
therefore never had a wife. The
tomb you admired cost me a good
deal of money, and, although no one
is buried there, it proves first class
advertisement, and I have no cause
to regret the expense. Now, sir

combination to put the price up.

Ptgress of inventions Since Ie45.


In the year 1645 the present owners
Of the Scientific American newspaper
commenced it's publication, and soon
after established a bureau for the
procuring of patents for inventions at
home and in foreign countries. Dur
ing the year 1916 there were only
500 patents issued from the U. S.
Patent office, and the total issue from
the establishment of the Patent
Office, up to the end of that year,
numbered only 4,347.
Up to the first of July this year
there have bee n granted 4O6,4l3.
Showing that since the commence
ment Of the publication of the Sc;en.
tifc American there have been
issued from the U. S. Patent Office
402,l66 patents, and about one third
more applications have been made
than have been granted, showing the
ingenuity of our people to be pheno.
menal, and much greater than even
the enormous number of patents
issued indicates. Probobly good
many of our readers have had business
transacted through the Offices of the
Scienti fic American, in New York or
Washington. and are familiar with
Mum & Co. s mode of doing business,
but those who have not will be in
terested in knowing something about
this, the oldest patent soliciting firm
in this country probably in the world.

Look out for the Locomotive.

Several harrow escapes have been
made 4 ecentIy, by trains at street
crossinj5s4 on the rail road track in
Morris. 1t is important to heed this
caution at this time Of the year when
there are so many trains passing up
and down the load, ard 50 many
teams, coming to town with wheat.
There a between one and two hun
dred loads of wheat and flax coming
to town daily, and among these there
are ma0y horses unused to the engine
and cars: 1t is fool hardness to cross
the track when cars are moving close
by, and it would pay to wait while.
Make haste slowly is good motto in
This case.

Harvest is Past

And now is the time when the farmer.
having worked with the hired man
harder than ever during the long days
of summer, feels that he can leave the
boys to fodder the cattle and carry
swill to the pigs, while he takes a
stroll outside the farm fences, to see a
little of the big world beyond. Unless
he IS a gentleman farmer, living in
the East, he will not go to Europe,
but try to see some of his own country,
the Dakotas and the Pacific North
west, or California and the Rockies.
To do this, rail travel must be mis-
