Uncle Sans Weekly.

The Congressional Record is not the
only high-class periodical published by
Uncle Sam. Very few people, aside
from inventors aud patent attorneys,
know that the Government publishes a
weekly magazine which. in point of typo
graphical appearance and general finish,
compares favorably with any periodical
that passes through the mails. 1t is the
Official Gazette of the Patent Office, and
its circulation the law guarantees to be
1000 copies weekly. The Government
makes no money directly from this pub
LEGATION, which costs 5000, 900 year to
issue from the press, but the material
contained in its pages is so utilized that
the Patent Office is made self-support-
inc. The Oticiay Gpgette includes the
complete specification OF every patent Is
sued by the Government, together with
cuts of all drawings necessary to an &C
curatc understanding of the invention.
In the earlier years Of the Glzette it was
the custom to print the letter press III
separate pages from the drawings, which
were produced by photography. Now,
however, the entire magazine is printed
from autographed plates, and the prep
aration of the "copy" is very delicate
task. The drawings and specifications
which law directs that the Govern ment
shall issue in the case of each patent al
lowed are printed on pages at least twice
the size of the O,fcm Gasette. A clever
expert takes these drawings and text,
and with a pair of sharp scissors cuts
them into neat little strips, which he
then pastes together on cards, sandwich
ing the pictures in with the letter-pres
in the order Of their reference. These
paces are then reduced to the size of the
Official Gazette by photography, and
1000 Autographed copies are struck off
from stone. The Patent Office issues
for week are bound in one number of
the Gazette, and anybody who wants to
subscribe for it can get very handsome
and interesting publication by sending
81 to the Commissioner of Patents. The
Gazette appears every Tuesday. Uncle
Sam is its managing editor, it employs
no agents; it offers no premiums and no.

with the price of one pound OF butter a

Live stock constitutes a most impor-
tant branch of farming, if not the most
important. But the "convservatism' -
SO called-of farmers in adhering to old

depression Of which farmers complain.
Pasturing, for instance, is a legacy OF
bsrbarism.
Choice butter should always be
wrapped in the parchment paper now
made for this pupose. 1t is air tight,
clean, white and cheap. Butter properly
put up is half sold, and if it tastes as
we'll as it looks, a good customer is Sc
cured. When practicable, every dairy
farm should sell its butter marked with
its own brand.

Thirty-pound Chunk of Gold.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

II jou wish your floor mattings TO look
as fresh and bright at the close OF the
summer as when they were laid in the
spring, see that they are carefully wiped
off after each sweeping with soft cloth,
wrung out of salt and water.
A cauton-hannel bag, made up with
the downy side ou:, is great conven-
ieLce on sweeping day. Slip it over the
broom and dust walls and woodwork
with it. The bag is convenient also for
busting hard wood floors. For this pur-
pose dampen it slightly, and the floor
may be kept clean long time without
washing.
Ink stains can be taken out Of carpets,
rugs and all wooden goods if sweet milk
is applied to the scilei places directly.
First lay sheet of blotting paper over
the place to soak up the ink, then with
a piece of cotton batting wash of the
piece with milk, changing the batting
for a clean piece as soon as it becomes
much soilcd. Continue this until the ink
no longer shows; thru wash off with hot
suds, rinse with clean warm water, and
rub dry with clean cloth.
Thick slices Of cod, halibut and sal
mon are nice broiled. Sprinkle with
salt and cook twenty minutes, spreading
with butter when done Shad and
mackerel can be broiled whole. Lay the
skin side down at first, and turn several
times, seeing that it does not scorch;
place ON hot platter and butter well.
Bluefish are very fine if broiled until half
done, then laid in buttered dripping
pan, with shavings of butter put thickIy
over them, and set into hot oven until

Pens and Razors Don't Get "Tired."

"Having been in the gold pen bust
ness know whereof l speak, " remarked
Hon. ]. O'Neill, "and when 1 say that
the story going the rounds to the effect
that gold pens get tired, and must have
rest is a glimmering falsehood. l make
the assertion advisedly. As the yarn
goes, bank clerk was overheard to re-
mark that his iavorite gold pea must
have months rest, and when chaife1
about it, replied that he kept two dozen
gold pens for the reason that he could
not get satisfactory work out OF tho pens
unless he gave them a.certain amount Of
rest. The same story is applied to razors
by BARRIERS, but the statement that a
razor gets tired has long since been
shown to be rank nonsense. II gold
pen is properly cared for it will last a
long time. Otherwise it will become
worthless very quickly. Once it gets
tired, however, it will remain 'tire1'--
that is, it will be worthless for all time
to come. st. Louis Sur Sayings.

GENTLE TREATMENT OF COLTS.

The usefulness and value of the horse
depends largely upon his early manage
meut and training. What might have
been a tractable, well disposed horse, IS
often uuruly and spoiled in disposition
and habits because of improper usage or
careless handling while a colt. Cen
tleness is a quality Of the highest value
in the horse, and without it he is dan
eerous and of but comparatively little
worth. Viciousness in horses is fire.
quently nothing but sheer timidity and
almost invariably is the result Of rough
treatment. The HorSeHaGH remarks on
this subject:
Hcrscs would not give way to fear
when a man approaches them if they had
been accustomed to receive always kind
and humane treatment. Now that the
season for putting your colts into the
hands Of trainers is at hand, it is good
time to commence teaching them not to
fear the approach of human being.
They are fond of being petted, and with
constant kindness will become quite do
Gle. A nubbin of corn, handful of
gram or a little sugar offered OCCASION
ally will gain their confidence, and they
will gradually lose all fear OF mankind.
The spirit of truthfulness thus inspired,
and the resulting gentleness of disposi-
ton, will last through life, unless adverse
influences are allowed to intervene. -

Pearls of smaller size arc much uscl
in jewelry.
Serge is the most popular material for
mountain and yachting dresses; wash
fannels for tennis suits.
"Thc ladies frook coat" Is the espo-
cial success OF a certain prominent tailor
for women. 1t is very chic.
Very many Of the newest skirts are
gathered, instead of the plaitings, which
have had such a run, being used.
White ribbon, broad and heavy, is
much worn for belts, especially with the
new silver buckles, which reach almost
under the arms.
There is positively no limit to the
amount Of cut jet ben Is al lozea5es to
be employed in decorating u stylish gar
ment of the moment.
Only two colors are admissible for
reefng jackets, colchman's drab AL
navy blue. The former in smooth flu
ishes the latter in rough.
Bodies with basques are either fulle
around the waist like a f0unce, or are
cut and curved to fit the hips almost as
tightly as a curass. The bodlcc' vita
founce basques are particularly suitable
for ginghams and thin summer materials.
Castor gloves have been brought into
general use for shopping and ordinary
wear. and they are very durable, may
be drawn on or off the hands with free
dom, and can be submitted to regular
washing without interfering with their
good condition.
There have been many changes in
aururated in the methods of coiffures.
The hairlressers have taken an excursion
trip back to the seventeenth century, AMI
are showing favor to the high puts and
ornamentation by use of flowers, velvet
bands and knots of ribbons.
Some of the new nets for wells have
dainty truc-lover's knots scattered over
them. Another net that is also fashion
able is the spiders web; aud one tiny
black spider placed somewhere on the
net, so as to accentuate favorite dim
pie or some peculiarly good point OF the
face, produces nearly as quaint an effect
as the patches of Madame la Marquise

Naphtha Spring In a City.

For many years a spring OF dirty water
ran from the house OF certain NJ. Korot-
neff, in the heart Of Sevastopol, Russia,
and caused the proprietor much trouble.
At times the spring would cover the best
street in the city with mud. OF late the
spring has became public nuisance, and
the city authorities compelled NJ. Ko-ot-
peff to build q small reservoir around it,
and to lead of the muddy substance by
sewer pipes. But as soon as this was
done it was discovered that the substance
in the new reservoir was pure naphtha.
For the last three months since the dis
covery was made nothing has been done
to utilize this wasting treasure. = Chicago
