Yes" said Mr.. Flamm, in answer to a

done me much good. Sydney and Mel
bourne are fine cities and have climate
something like ours, and / would like
some of the city fathers to see those
streets. They are just as clean in every
way as our sidewalks and efficient means
are taken TO keep them continually in
that condition. Everything is all right,
but the business, and that is in a
bad way.
Both those cities, and indeed the whole
country, are in bad financial way. Hun

fine cities and away ahead OF San ntO-

The 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 cslculat ed to reduce
some of the-little frctiOns OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers

running the road would make them in such

what ives the man that made this sauce

Hang such 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 cCs 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 the mselyes asln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the enc who

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appsll
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel; that he mast devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device 10
patcntable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehensiOn ofthe fact that il 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 absurdly 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 bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, go that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ingenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred 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

Polishing Silver.


Since so much sterling silver and
plate enters into some part of the
table cutlery it is necessary that
one should also keep in mind the
best methods of treating it, writes
Maria ParlOa in an article on "The
Care of Cutlery and Glass" in the
June Ladies' Home Journal. A
perfectly safe substance for clean
ing this metal will always be found
in French whiting. For all Ordin-
airy purposes such whiting, with
water, is all that is necessary; but
if the silver is very much discOl-
ored it should be wet with alcohol.
This will give brilliant polish.
1t is important that the materials
used to clean silver should be per-
fectly free from any gritty sub
stance. The whiting should be
sifted through a hair sieve or a
piece of muslin, to insure against
anything that might scratch the
plate. Silver, as well as steel,
must be washed perfectly clean
before being rubbed with the pol
ishing material. A soft silver
brush will be required for brush
ing the chased and repousse work,
which is found on nearly all the
knives. Only sub
stances which are well known have
been suggested for the cleaning and
care Of the various articles spoken

the drives, the mrivalled bride
paths, the canoeing, the tennis, its
own little symphony orchestra, and
lastly, its charming society. make
up a most attractive list of enter
tainment.
A well-known author writes !:
" Many hotels, so-called, consist of
large, hastily constructed buildings,
with their jam of visitors, politely
called guests but this great estab-
lishment at Poland Spring is of
another sort. The thousands who
find health, rest and pleasure here
each season are of a different class
and higher order, and are guests
indeed, and not merely in name.
We have spokea of this immense
establishment as hotel, and prop
erly too, for while the fame of
Poland Spring has gone forth
throughout America, and while
hundreds of thousands of people
are living to-day who thank God
for the healing properties in the
water, and while hundreds come
each year to drink and are cured
of grievous troubles, nevertheless
the huge pile on the crest OF
Ricker's Hill is not and never has
been a sanitarium.
Much has been written by emf
nent physicians in regard to the
rare purity and undeniable merits
of the water. A leading physician
writes the following letter dated at
the Union League Club:
81 have never lived at hotel
where found things more con-
ducive to bodily health, personal
comfort and social enjoyment than
at the Poland Spring House, Maine.
1t is a grand hotel, generously and
ably conducted to most beneficial
ends in promoting the health and
recreation Of its guests. The
cleansing, restorative and, | may
add, exhilarating properties OF
Poland water are indeed marvel
lous"
Among the thousands of letters
and testimonials from all parts of
the country we only select the fol-
lowing from people who were
among the earliest patrons of the
spring.
Remarkable, owing to the fact
that many of them have been cured
over thirty years and are living and
in good health at the present day.
