NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. Ii is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sue 2essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person Is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself TO the best advantage is to be
rewa rded for doinQ ii. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without 1t. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something OF very little use to
him. But the person who patent q simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-one that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any Srticle in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be$oo simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
Iarity, will get the Press Claims CompRny's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
indged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of thsag nited States.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

Toinduce people to Keep track of their
bright ideas and sec what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved TO
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim
pliest and most promising invention, from
a commercial point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in each, in
additiOnNo refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free of
charge.
This offer lie subject to the following con-
dtIons:
Every competitor must obtain a patent Or
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search,
the cost of which will be five dollars
Should this search show his invention to be
unpatentable, he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take out a
patent in the regularway. The total expense,
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have patent that ought to be valuable
property TO him. This prize will be awarded
by jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending CON-
petitors should fill out the following blank,
and forward II with their applications:

from this that an immense amount
of goods must be purchased each
year to supply these stores. This
purchasing power enables the COM

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle frictions OF life. Usually
suchi ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" eXclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
way"
'What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF, grumbes the cook. "He
never had to work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed. D."
Hang such a collar button growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that would Mt
slip out, or break off, or gOuge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar IS and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient Opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves ssln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a Clear Gift Of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them In Still More.

Would you like TO mske twenty-five hun
dred dollars? If you would, read carefully
what follows aud you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous-
ands of applications for inventions, but it
would like TO handle a Thousand more. There
is plenty of inventive talent at large in this
country, needing nothing but encourage nent
to produce practical results. That encourage
ment the Press Claims Company proposes to

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be = natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bell; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel 1t desires
to get into the head of the public a clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdy trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them TO the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that it would come
back 10 the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ingenuity-thep product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
huQdred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end

MISERIES OF MATRIMoNY.

The wife of Alcibiades went to

divorce. Her elegant rascal of a

picked Ter up in his arms, carried
her home and gave her sound
thrashing, with the promise of an
other on the first recurring sign of
INSTRUMENTATION.
Salmasius, Millions antagonist,
was man of mild manners and
quiet in speech, but his wife imag-
ined he did not do himself justice
in controversy unless he called his
antagonist vile names. Some of
his manuscripts are eXtant, con-
tanning abusive words interlined
in her own hand writing.
Wycherley, the dramatic author,
married Lady Drogheda, who was
jealous. He was fond Of meeting
his friends at the "Cock Inn,"
across the street, but she would
never allow him to go unless the
edp lOOhA uOOl was lOlU OPOh 81
that she could look in and see that
no woman was there.
Peter the Great, of Russia, had a
competitive examination of the
beauties Of the empire in order to
secure perfect wife. Three hun
dred girls competed, and he select
ed Eudoxia FOederovna, of NOvgo-
rod, and three years later locked
her up in convent in order to
marry Catherine.
