NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

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 different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best adj
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only a stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan for a club house
on 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 Company's competi-
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has 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 bet
ter how to improve 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
and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.

ABLE.
= Comparatively 1ew 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
frictions of life. Usually such are ideas
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 / were running the road
1 would make them in such way"
What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking off" grumbles the
cook. "He never had to work over
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 for
get about their grievancet and begin
to think of something 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
as independently wealthy as the man,
who invented the iron umbrella ring
or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzl9.

TO induce people to keep track of
their bright ideas and see what there
is in them, the Press. Claims Company
has resolved to offer prize.
To the person wins submits to it the
simplest and most promising inven-
ton, from commercial point of view,
the company will give twenty-five
hundred dollars In cash, addition to
refunding the fees for securing the
patent.
1t will also advertise the Invention
free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following
conditions:
Every competitor must obtain a
patent for his invention through the
company. He must first apply for
preliminary search, the cost of which
will he five dollars. Should this search
show his invention to be unpatentable
he can withdraw without further ex-
pense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take
out a patent in the regular way. The
total expense, including Government
and Bureau fees, will be seventy dollars.
For this, whether he secures the prize
or not, the inventor will have patent
that ought to be valuable property
to him. The prize will be awarded by
jury consisting of three reputable
patent attorneys of Washington. In
tending competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with
their application:

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get $500 Dollars
for Nothing.
The Winner Has Clear Gift of
a Small Fortune, and the Losers
Have Patents that may Bring
Them in Still more.

Would you like to make twenty-five
hundred dollars9 If you would, read
carefully what follows and you may
see way to it.
The Press CLANS Company devotes
much attention to patents. 1t has
handled thousands of applications for
inventions, but it would like to handle
thousands more. There is plenty of
inventive talent at large in this coun
try, needing nothing but encourage
ment to produce pratical results. That
encouragement the Press Claims
Company proposes to give.
NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people 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
complicated mechanical problems and
that he must spend fortune on
delicate experiments before he can
get new device to a patentabls de-
gree of perfection. This delusion the
company desires to dispel. 1t 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 says that the profits he has
received from the patents on all his
marvellous inventions have not been
sufficient to pay the cost of his ex-
periments But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber
cord to child. IS ball, so that it would
come back to the hand when thrown
made fortune out of his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is q miracle
of ingenuity-the product of the toll
of hundreds of busy brains through q
hundred and fifty years, but the whole
brilliantresult rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle
at the point instead of at the other end.

Ancient Rings.

once there was peculiar sipnifi.
cance attached to rings. They were
regarded as token of authority. The
Enperor's signet ring placed in the
hands of an official invested him for
the time with his masters power.
Rings are first mentioned in the
Bible in Genesis, chapter 4lst and
42d verse: "And Pharoh took his
ring from his hand, and put 1t on
Joscph's hand, and made him ruler
over all Egypt"
When the Israelites conquered the
Midianites, they ..took all their rings
and bracelets, and offered them to the
Lord" ~
Ahasuerus gave the ring from his
hands to the Jews worst enemy
thus giving him unlimited control tn
do with them and their property
whatever he pleased.
The father received his proflipal
son toyfully. ana sealed his forgive.
ness by putting ring ON his hand.
The Egyptians regarded their rings
both as business vouchers and as or.
namenta Tue siRnet rings being al.
ways used for sealing documents. and
however used, their rings were al
ways buried with them-and In later
years are often found in their tombs.
The signet ring was usually of
bronze or silver; but among the rlch
gold rings were used for ornaments.

The Etiquette of Cues.

in China the men take us much
pride in their hair as women, and The
"pigtail'' is thing of no little mo-
ment. In making the cue the whole
head is shaved except circular patch
upon the crown. The hair from this
is braided. and strands of silk arc
added which end in a tasscl reaching
to the heels. In full mourning the
black strands are replaced bv white
ones, and in second mourning bylight
blue or green.
1t is an objectionable breach of ct
iquettc for an inferior to enter the
presence Of superior with his cue
