MOUNDsvILLE.

Some time ago the Garvey property in
Benwood was advertised for sale under a
deed of trust, to take place at the front
door of the court house. When the day or
sale arrived Mrs. Gsrvey appeared on the
scene and accused all the bidders OF being
land sharks, which finally deferred them
all from buying and the sale was adjourned
to the city hall in Benwood. On that day
the property was run up to S2,6OO, but the
bid was made under a misapprehension OF
the terms of sale and had 10 be recalled.
The sale then took place at the front door
of the court house and was finally knocked
down az &,2O5. Since that time the affair
has created quite Q little breeze, which
promises 70 develop into a mammoth law

Women Make it PAY.

Philadelphia's School Of Art
Needlework has for a number OF
years deserVedly held one of the
highest positions among institu-
tiOns of the kind in this country,
writes Harriet Ogden Morrison in
an exquisitely illustrated page of
Dainty and Elaborate EmbrOide-
ry" in the June Ladies' Home Jour
nal. 1t is also the only institution
of this character which is thor
oughly self supporting. Having
been inaugurated first in cOnnec-
ton with the School of Industrial
Art Ito which school it may some
day become reunited), it was deci-
ded, after a careful consideration Of
affairs, to launch out independent
ly, and under the management of a
small number of prominent women.
This committee pledged them
selves to give moderate sum Of
money for two years, in order to
place the school upon substantial
basis. Under such thorough bust
ness management it could not fail
to succeed, and in December Of last
year the net proceeds were twenty
five hundred dollars.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION,

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t 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 -essful one merely selling
This for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is sonnet hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doin9 it. The prize is only a
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 simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company s
ompetition, need not worry If he fail TO Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command it's
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and pOpu-
larity will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
iudged from the fact that it's stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Some Safe Disinfectants.

Different kinds are required for
different purposes. Some will stain
clothing, while others are harsh

Sulphur. Boraccic acid, two

The cOpperas solution should be
put into vessels before they are
used by the sick person, the dis
charges covered with it before they
are emptied, and a pailful thrown
down the water-clOset two or three
times a day. If an earth-clOset is
used, it should be plentifully
sprinkled with dry cOpperas.

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 Bel; that he mist devote years to
deving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public 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 abSurdly trivial that the average cit-
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-
tons 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 a child's ball, so that it would come
back 10 the hand when thrown, made a 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
stead of at the other end

Summer Suggestions.

Do not make too many visits,
and where you go be sure that your
visit is a convenient one. Do not
entertain too generously; summer
should be time of rest, and it is
difficult to rest with a house full of
guests.
Before going for a midday sail
rub your face, neck and hands with
simple cream, and powder gently
with cOrnstarch. Wipe the pow
der off, and on returning wash the
complexion we'll in warm water
and with CASTLE soap. CamphOr-
ice and buttermilk both give relief
from sunburn.
Place a large dish of water in a
room where the heat is very OPP
pressive. Change once or twice
and the temperature will be per-
ceptibly lowered.
Sponge your babies with cold
water at bed time.
For insomnia in summer time
take a cold bath at bed time.
Have mercy on your cook in
your arrangement Of meals for hot
days.
Battle daily.
Have your house gowns made
with open necks and elbow sleeves.
Save your steps.
Allow double the amount of time
in catching boats and trains that
you do in winter.
Eat your meals slowly.
Drink milk slowly.
To wash summer silks remove
all grease or other spots with soap
and water before proceeding. Make
solution of a teaspOonful Of am
mOnia and a little soap in pail of
water, and in this dip the silk
again and again until the dirt is
removed. Do not wiring out, but
press between the hands. Rinse in
water from which the chill is gone,
and hang in shady place until
partly dry. when lay between two
cloths, and press with hot iron,

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 theSlittle frctions Of life. Usually
such 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 b eaking the passengers
backsF eXclsims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
way"
what YVES the man that made this sauce
pan thinking of" grumbles the cook. HE
never had to work over a stove or he would
nave known how it ought to have been fixed. "
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 of, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various suffere 8 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 Bsn-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the enc who
