serves immortalizing, for his was bril-
liant idea, one should have been "real
proud of myself had | thought Of it, In
the wedding cake of more ancient typa
there was always a thick layer Of white
sugar which nobody cared about, q
medium layer Of almond paste which
everybod ywished for and did not always
get, and an immense quantity Of cake
of which many only ate a few crumbs
The latest specimen has a thin layer
of sugar, only just enough to look pretty
and underneath are alternate layers o.
cake and almond paste, one as thick aE
the other.
The consequence is that no one is de
frauded Of their lawful share Of almond
paste or ''love,' as ii is usually called
and for purposes of distribution 1t is fal
better, as the contents of the box do moi
crumble away nearly 80 much as they did
when the principal portion was cakt

box which could not be rifed and wa

Patents anal What They PFoteot,

A business man in this city who is up
to his ears in the work necessary TO
gather capital to flOat an enterprise, and
at the same time to keep information Of
tho nature Of it away from busy rivals,
found time last week to say: "Did you
ever think that o patent does not patent
In this country2 Well, it's fact Ali
that the patent office does is to give you
q paper with some writing on 1t, but if
another man steals your idea and goes
to manufacturing your invention the
patent office will not lift finger to pro-
tect you OF to stand By its own decision.
The fact that you've got patent is a
point in your favor, but you've got to
hire lawyers and fight the thief in the
courts, and If he can stand it to hire
lawyers longer than you can that settles
you, and you might as well make him q
present Of your invention. There are lots
of men in the country who are getting
rich on the discoveries of other people,
All they had to do was to take 'em and
fight the real discOYerers into poverty,
The patent office, to be respected and ta
be of any use, ought to have the power
10 cause the stealer of patent to be sent
to prison New York Sun.

II was on Third avenue the other day
that the face Of boy not more than Q
years old, with cigarette thrust be-
tween the little lips, attracted the atten-

child'a puny, aickly appearance, for he
looked as il nothing more than ciga-

hold on life, made the woman stop 10

II is an extraordinary but ineonteata-
Bile fact that some women at the age
when most people die undergo q sort Of
natural process of rejuvenation the
hair and teeth grow again, the wrinkles
disappear from the skin, and sight and
hearing reacquire their former sharp
ness. A Marquise de Marabeau Ia an
example Of this rare and remarkable
phenomenon, She died at the age Of
eighty.six, but q few years before her
death she became in appearance quite
young again, The same change hap
pened to nun Of the name Of Mar
guerite Verdur, who at the age Of sixty
two lost her wrinkles, regained her sight
and grew several new teeth, When she
died, ten years later, her appearance was
almost that Of young girl, st Louis

Most people are seemingly anxious to

Is very natural, and win expend a large

its qualities and afterwaTd 1t should be

for awhile he said he would like to SEQ
them, and the poor wife brought them
TO the bedside, All he did was to take
each Of the three elder children by the
hand and to say, "Gude day" a..
Then he said to the youngest, wee
thing 2 years old, "Will ye gle me
bit kissT
The mother, lifting up the wondering
child, said, "Say ta-ta to your father"
"Ta-ta," said the little boy in loud,
cheerful voice, and then ran out Of
the cottage to play, The poor father
closed his eyes; the tears ran down his
cheeks, but he said no more, The abun-

He was weary, too, and so guide day
