A great deal OF nonsense has been
talked about tho question OF whose
place II is to bow first when n lady
and gentleman meet upon the street
or In any public assembly.
II Is very absurd to shy that man
should always wait until lady has
recognized him. In this, rs in most
other matters. common sense and mu-
tual convenience are the only guides.
Many ladies are ncar-sightcd; mnny
others find great difficulty in remcm-

room where the festive roach abounds
all the housewife has to do is to stop
every aperture in the room, adjust the
buster" which eXhausts the air in the
receiver and creates a current which
draws all the vcrmin out of their hiding
places in through the air-pump, where
they can be dealt with as they deserve.
This reminds one of the story told by
James Russell Lowell at dinner in
London concerning the miracles which
the Yankee inventor could work. He
said n neighbor of his had invented n
machine for increasing the draught of
chimneys which worked with signal
success. The Inventor put the machine
on the chimney of his own kitchen ono
morning and stood outside the door
pecping through crack to see the re-
suit. The first object he behold was
his revcrcd mothcr-in-law and then his
beloved wife mounting the fuc like
witches on 4 broonstick; and then no
saw the family cat drawn backward
her four paws and disputing every inch
of ground. This was cnough-hc turned
and fed.
The Adjustable car rack" or ''bool,-

labor. How many men preceded Howe
in experimenting with machines for
sewing none will ever know. Thinonicr
i'll France in 1880 and Walter Hunt in
New York in 1888 certainly made end
operated sewing machines, but Howe
alone was successful. He made Il
machine that would do practical sew

value would IIowc's original machine
be to-day for family or factory use?
None whatever.
1t has long been known that hogs are
not of an accommodating disposition,
and when it becomes necessary to move
a carload along IL narrow gangway the
first to start is apt to decline walking
the plank and the way is at once
blocked. TO overcome this difficulty n
genius has invented what he calls q
hog-bounccr. II is made by bringing
one end of the gangway plank to firm
supper: and placing under the other end
two double car springs, connected with
powerful lever and spring catch.

Before the car door is opened the plat
form Is carried down SO as to compress
bv the lever and tho catch is hooked.
The hogs arc then allowed to pass
along the platform, and us soon as n
block occurs the catch is sprung. One
end of the platform flies three feet up
ward and n shower of live poriScrs
shoots over tho heads of the drove
They are seldom injured, but greatly

Among the inventions that commend
themselves to public notice during the
last fifty years are those rotating to
collins, graves and burials. One Of
these is intended to furnish the tenant
Of grave who has been buried prema-
turcly with means of escape or arous-
ing the ncighborhood. This invention
is O simple affair, being merely IN
open tube provided with n rope ladder
and n bell and cord. Should the occu-
pant Of the coffin awaken from the
trance he could climb tho ladder and
make his way back to the world, or
pull tho bell and alarm the township.
For those whose only fear is that they
may not be allowed to rest undisturbed

The courtship clock is On American
invention, but has not been put into
use il families to the extent that might
be expected. 1t is described Us n COM
pcnso-retarding-a ccelcruting clock, for
use in families where unmarried daugh-
tiers are kept in stock and the supply
exceeds the demand. If the young man
is Of an eligible sort the rctarding dctach-
mcnt is put on and the clock compounds
with old time at eighty minutes to an
hour, and the young woman is justified
In telling the young man reaching for
his hat: cts early yet" If the sutton
is undesirable the accclcrating device
is applied, and Mt half-pnst nine the
clock marks two in the morning, and
the prudent danscl is justified in dis
missing her uuwclcomc visitor. The
lovers alarm clock is another device of
similar character that deserves notice.
This invention is combined in clock
which, as the hour of ten is struck,
throws open two doors, exposes to view
little man il n night-shirt and slip
pcrs, who holds il his hand Il card with
the significant inscription Good night"
which is guaranteed never to fail in
producing the desired effect on the OBJ
livious pair.

where else can the development, the
progress and the achievements of the
nineteenth century be studied to better
advantage than in the patent Office, and
there's no part of that history so enter
csting as that which relates to the
crude, the curious and the odd things
to which the American has applied his
inventive skill.
Among the subjects to which the
American inventor early turned his at
tention was the art of distiuing whisky
for which there are $500 patents on rec
ord, and still siscptics contend that the
article is not yet altogether perfect.
Fifty patents have been granted for
alleged improvements in lotteries"
several for "a new method of shufiling
and dealing cards." and such inventions
rs these arc found in the same category
with that granted to q Connecticut man
for ga set of tablets By which person
of genius, business and reflection may
secure all his night thoughts worth
preserving, though in the dark"
In the good old days OF which so much
is said our ancestors must have cult
waited with considerable success most
of the vices OF which the lattertlay re-
formers so loudly complain, for in the
carly years of the present century
twcnty-thrcc patents were issued for
making mintjuleps," forty-scvcn for
an improved article of chewing gum,
and more than twenty for new proc
ess for making corn whisky"
The records of the patent Office show
but one case, that of Whitneys cotton
gin, which attained perfection at once,
through the efforts of the original in

periods of probation and experiment by

The recent centennial of the organi-

tcntion to the marvellous achievements
of inventive genius in America during
the past century. No factor in our civ
ilization exercises such q potent in
fiuencc on the everyday life of tho citi-
zen as the progress of modern invcn-
ton. The granting of patents in this
country dates back to colonial times,
and the earliest record of patent be-
ing allowed is that issued to Samuel
Winslow by the general court Of Massa-
chusctts in 1854 for III process Of maxi
ing SALT" and from that time onward
