Lands of tho Midnight Sun.

One Of the most impressive sights in
nature is to see the SIMS full disc sailing
above the horizon at midnight and to watch
for hours instead of minutes the eloriss of
sunset passing without intermission into

world for n summer trip. There are no
such combination of marine and mountain
views anywhere as in the glorious fjords.
There are few finer cities in Europe than
Stockholm. There are no more interesting
people than the ~Scandinavians. Mr., %. u.

these lands and spent four or five days at
the North cape-most northerly land of
Europe. In his lecture he will also give a

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their bright
Claims Company has resolved to offer prize.
To the person who submits to it
the simp est and most promising
invention, from a commercial point
of view, the company will give
stwenty five hundred dollars, cash,
in addition to retunding the fees
for securing the patent.
1t will also advertise the inven-
ton free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condit
ions:
Every competitor must obtain patent for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for preliminary search. the cost of
which viii be five dollars. should this search
show his invention to be unpatentable he can
withdraw without further expense. Otherwise
he will be expected to complete his application
aud take out patent in the regular way. The
reau fees, will be seventy dollars For this

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost everybody has been
struck, at one time or another, with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
fricuons of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers backs?'
exclaims a traveller. IF l were running the
road would make them in such a way"
what was the man who made this sucepan
thinking OFF" grumbles the cook, HE never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar button!" growls the man
who is late for breakfast. ''If l were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances 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 in
to practical shape, and then apply for patents,
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring. or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

A writer in Harper's Bazar gives
the following directions:
Peel the rinds with a sharp knife
that will take off the green skin
evenly. Trim off also every trace
of the pink flesh Of the fruit, be-
cause it is too juicy to make firm,
crisp pickle. Then cut the strips
of rind into small pieces, two or
three inches long, and placing them
in a large earthern dish, sprinkle
them lightly and evenly with salt
Cover the dish and let it stand over
night. In the morning drain off
the water that will have formed,
rinse the rinds in cold water, and
cook them in a steamer until a
broom splint will readily pierce
them. Cooking the rinds by steam
is an easy method, as they are less
liable to burn than when cooked in
the spiced vinegar. When therinds
are tender, take them out carefully
with skinner and put them into
a stone jar,
Take good cider vinegar for the
basis of the pickle. Allow a pound
of sugar to a pint of vinegar, and
add also half an ounce of stick Gin
namNn broken into inch pieces, and
a half teaspoonful each of whole
cloves and blades of mace. The
whole amount of vinegar, sugar,
and spices used must, of course, de-
pend on the quantity of rinds to be
picked, but a quart of vinegar is
usually sufficient for the rinds of a
medium sized melon. Boil the vim
egar, sugar, and spices together Wig
orously half an hour, skimming off
the froth, and pour the pickle boil
ing hot over the rinds. Press the
rinds down under the pickle by
means of an earthen plate or saucer,
fasten the cover on, and tie a cloth
over the whole. These pickles Will

NO BLANKS IN THIS CONTEST.

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story. or picture, or architectural plan, all
the competitors risking the loss of their labor
and the successful one merely selling his for
the amount OF the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Eacn person is asked merely to help him
self and the one who helps himself TO the best
advantage is to be rewarded for doing it, The
prize is only stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without 1t. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on II certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him But the person who patents simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Compa-
ny's competition. need not worry if he fail to
secure the prize. He has a 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 articles in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove ii than the mechanical expert who stud
les it only from the theoretical point of view
Get rid of the idea that an improvement can
be too simple to be worth patenting. The
simpler the better. The person who best sue
ceeds in combining simplicity and popularity,
will get the Press Claims Company's twenty
five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of the company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa.

dairymen claim. No reason is as

know, that fever more or less at

mails. That the natural temperance
of the hottest month Of the year
increases that fever is not only pos
sible, but probable. Therefore mill
feed, unground corn or corn meal
should not be given. 1t is desirable
that the COW, when she drops her
calf, should give plenty of milk,
and therefore the indiscrimmate or
careless farmer will instimulate the
milk glands and the udder as much
as possible, and this as matter of
course, increases fever and produces
garget. All of this prior to calving.
No wonder such COWS die Of milk

and has recovered her normal APP
petite and condition, extra rations
may be given if she can assimilate
the foods. But before calving keep
her on rather low diet, give a lit
tie bran twice day in tepid water
and feed rather less than more than
"a usual ration.
Sometimes a cowwill hold up her
milk for a day or two. Milk her as
clean as possible and battle her I'D

with the bare hand If one or more
teats do not give normal milk, or
show that cheese has formed in a
particular teat, this can in most
cases be made to exude little, and
by pulling can be withdrawn in
sort of string. Of course, gentle
ness must be exercised. think
the hot water treatment will gener-

seems necessary to give medicine,
the following recipe is recommend
ed as coming from the veterinarian
who writes for the Orange Judd
Farmer.
FOR GARGET.
Apply little of the following to
the caked part of the udder every
third day. Iodine, 2 drains; vase
line, 2 ounces; boil teacupful of
faxseed to a pulp and then mix in
bran, and when cool put a teaspoon
full of sulphate of iron in it. Give
in one dose and continue for several
weeks. In all such cases, proven
tion is better than cure.
In view of the fact that mich
COWS shrink so at this season of the
year, it is an object to have some
fresh cows, in order to obtain a reg
ular quantity where regular custom
.ers have to be served, but if it must
be, one can get around the month
of August somehow.

NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems, and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get new device to patentable degree
of perfection. This deluson the company de-
sires to dspel. II desires to get into the head
OF the public clear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors, but the little, simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost OF
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord to
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine is mi
racle OF ingenuity-the product of the toll OF
hundreds of busy brains through a hundred
and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end
