could be held on the Potomac at the height

Obituary.

Flora, fourth daughter of Phillip and
Elizabeth Dick, of German Ridge, Ind,
died July 10th, 1898, of heart failure.
She was beautiful girl. in her 10Th
year, always kind, gentle and pleasant to
all. While her parents, brothers and sis
tiers feel heart broken over this the first
break death has made in their family cir
Gle, her absence will also be felt in her
Sunday school and among her school.
mates, who lament her loss greatly.
Flora was a great sufferer for days and
weeks at the time with that most painful
disease, infammatory rheumatism, and
was sweetly patient through it all.
The family has the heartfelt sympathy
OF wide circle Of friends. 1t is always
so hard to feel "Thy will not mine, o
Lord, be DONE" but theirs is Christian
family and the resignation will come in
time, and they will see their loss is her
gain, for our loving Heavenly Father
plucked her innocent soul, so like love-
ly flower, to adorn his mansions above,
while the hearts OF her loved ones will
long cry out,
"Oh for the touch of a vanished hand,
And sound of a voice forever still.n

FALLS OF ROUGH.

Last Tuesday evening Colonel Green $

to the house were japanese lanterns;

the veranda itself was turned into stage;
and very pretty it looked, decorated with
the lovely maiden-hair ferns which gro "
in such abundance in this vicinity; and
for the stage lights, more Of the pretty
lanterns were used. And what was the
reason Of all this? Why, the merry
crowd Of guests at Mrs. Green's hospita-
BILE mansion had put their heads together
and brought their talent and ingenuity
to work to make some money for the
church, and the result was the tableux,
songs and Rotations which took place at
the time before mentioned. Mrs. Green
was to have had charge Of the entertain
ment, but owing to her sudden illness the
charge was passed on to oneor two of the
ladies in the house, who made brilliant
success of il, but all present missed Mrs.
Green and felt that it would have been
better ii she could have been one of the
happy crowd.
The first thing on the program was the
"Baby Chorus" from Wang" which
was sung and danced by four little girls
with their dollies. The little tots were
all in white and acted their part nicely.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an unusua
nature. Ii is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the cou petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue cessful one merely sell ng
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Companys 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 cded for doiny it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on
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 de vice in the Press Claims Companys
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure 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 article In his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it 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 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
twenty-hv hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
udged from the fact that it's stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

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 a natural genius, like Edi
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving 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 il is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, but the lit
tie, simple. and cheap ones-the things that
seem SO absurdly trivial that the average cti-
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 q bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, go that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
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

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,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
come of the0little frictions 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 breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
away"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking Off" grumbles the cook. "He
never had TO work over q 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 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 forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepsns, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as IN
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
natpntpd the fifteen nuZZle
