a Visit to the Patent Office

The Patent Office is said to stand on the
site on which George Washington had dedica-
ted to The "National Church." Just what
was meant by the phrase no one seems to
know-possbly an American Westminster
Abbey. The building covers two squares, Or
about "a acres of ground surrounds court
yard 2G5 feet by 135 feet. The Patent office
as propagation of scient fic ideas as an inspi-
ration to inventive genius and as an educator
of our yonth in matters affecting the indus
trial interests of our progressive civilization is
not an unworthy substitute for the National
Church which Washington intended should
be built on the ground now occupied by this
great institution.
The "storied urn and animated BUST of an
other Westminster Abbey could not stir the
| zeal and promote the industry more than the
monuments to skill and science now exhibit
| ted in the Patent office museum and the con-
| seriousness of the assurance of protection to
all the products Of the inventive mind.

In the month of May, 1889, there was an
evening party in Berkeley square, and in the
early part of The day Lord Rnseberry had met
in Piccadilly Scotch farmer with whom he
had some acquaintance, aud he asked his
friend to s'look' in the course of the night
The farmer duly presented himself in some
thing that resembled his idea of an evening

got into the Supper room, and after eating a
variety of deIicacies he lighted on an ice cream

l ought TO tell you--lhere has been mistake

Lord Roseberry grasped the situation in a
moment. With perfect courtesy and with a
pretty appearance of critical inquiry, he tasted
the ice cream. $50 it is he said |: "that's

The Wearing of Clothes.

The Tribune has found out somehow
that there are in the world SOC, OOO, 600 of
fully clad people. 200, OOO, 600 of partly clad
people and 25L, COO 600 of naked people. Y, e
say that the naked millions have a perfe>t
right to live in nakedpess. They do not
need clothes for warmth or comfort, and
they do not think that they need them for
any other reason. They do not ask other PEG
pie to go naked, and the other people have
no business to ask them to wear things.
There are lots of respectable men and wom-
en- among the naked millions who mind
their own affairs We do not suppose that
the men of the Niger and Congo would be
willing to live in this world if they had to
wear coats, vests, trousers. plug hats and
leather boots, or that the women would
find life tolerable if dressed up in gowns,
bonnets, shawls, hoopskirts and things.
Most OF the nude and seminude people OF
our race are In Africa, and they don't want
US to bother them. Most Of the clothed
and semiclad people are in Asia, Europe
and America, and they ought to be willing
to let their African brethren enjoy the sun
shine. Yet the people who wear clothes are
perpetually urging the naked people to buy
and wear them. 1t is impudence. A naked
person may be better and wiser than q
clothes wearer. He may be pious, virtuous,
sensible, Industrious. brave and democratic
Another thing is to be said for the nal-ed
millions. They drink very little whisky OF
beer, smoke very few cigarettes and would
feel ashamed to be seen at a ball of the Ger

An AneclOte of Bricnoli.

Though one of the most nervous singers
that ever went before an audience, Brignoli
in his way was one of the most conscien-
tious. He refused to sing if he did not feel
that his voice was in condition to do jus
tice to the song and to himself. He was a
firm believer in homeopathy, and was never
without two small Walls, one containing
bryonia and the other spongia, which he
used alternately. His body servant, Bar
bageleta, usually administered the drug.
On one occasion it happened that Barba-
gelata gave him larger quantity of bryo-
mia than he had asked for; but, like the
faithful servant that he was, he informed
his master of the mistake. Brignoli was
furious He thought he was dead man.
He raved and stormed and swore as only he
could swear. Barbagelata, thinking to re-
lieve his mind. swallowed the entire con-
tents of the phial.
"You see, Signor BrignoE, there is no
harm in the medicine" he said.
''Ah, my Godr' cried Brignoli, forgetting
his own danger at once, you are dead
man. What have you done?"
All the doctors in the neighborhood were
sent for and all had to testify that the drug
was harmless before Brignoli would believe
that Barbagelata could survive.-New York
Tribune.

Pennsylvania was founded by

In 1901 they were granted a charter.

state, as to need repairs with little
I0ss of time. All this work was done
by Atkinson & Ofoff in 1891.
Good Brick Among Them
There are, d6u btessss some good
hard brick in this pavement, says the
Democrat, but they. are dwarfed and

the many soft ones. all around them.
The latter are so ifumerous, in some
places at least, that they seem to
wholly compose the paving. The re-
suit is that the entire street surface

alarming rapidity. 1t will be but
short time till the street will be cut
away clear through the upper course
of bricks.
The board of public works, in its
report. says: The question of max
ing the cessaffgepairs is rather a
difficult oneto settle. To take out
she soft bricks and replace them
with ~ssfi TIA hlesones would break the
present bond of the pavement, and
would RESULT in patchy and unsat-
Isfactory piece of work; although
this seems to be the only way that
shese streets can be repaired at reas-
enable cost. To do the work proper
Sy would necessitate the taking out
and replacing of the greater portion
OF these streets, which would be a
very expensive matter. Messrs. At

The Democrat also remarks: The
city has not fully accepted the pave

contractors to the fact that they will
make the pavement good for two
years. That time has not elapsed
yet. What their proposition is is not
known. Something like half a mile
