Trousers Bottom Protector,

1t seems as if the ingenuity of the in
ventor would never tire of seeking for
new worlds to conquer. A singular in
vention is the subject of recent
patent. This is neither more nor less
than a trousers protector, which is
held to the trousers by means of two
small spring clips, and the balls or
projections at it's lower edge prevents
the bottom of the trousers from COM
ingin contact with the ground and get
ting muddy. 1t is claimed that by it's
use it is impossible to pick up mud,
and that the unsightly method turn
ing up the bottoms of trousers in wet
weather is avoided. It is said to be
not noticeable when worn, and is
made in different colors to suit the
cloth. It weighs one-eight of an ounce,
and can beinstantly fixed or removed.

ALenient Uncle,

The most lenient pawnshop in the
world is the Monte di Pieta in Rome,
established in 1885. Any person who
brings a pawn may borrow from $12
to 500 without paying any interest,
but all that is lent above that is paid
for at the rate of per cent. per an
mum. At the end of two years, if the
pledge be not redeemed nor interest of
the money paid, the pledge is sold and
the overplus of the debt is laid by for
the owner, who has it in his power tc
demand it within 100 years.

straitened circumstances in which
Louis Kossuth finds himself. The
Buda-Pesth Atheneum offered him an
advance of 5000 forms on his writ

istic honesty, declined it on the ground
that at his age he could not be sure of
completing the work. However, an
arrangement will be made which will
obviate all risk of his suffering from
want during the remainder of his life.
