the competitors risking the loss of their labor
and the SUI cess:ul one merely selling his for

advantage Is to be rewarded for doing It, The

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
frictions 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 passenger backs?'
exclaims 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 1t ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a 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 forget about
their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else. II 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.

Garden and Orchard.
When the tree is healthy the top
is luxuriant.
Late cultivation in the orchard
is rarely desirable.
Do not waste time and labor work
ing on poor trees and plants.
When an apple or pear is mature
it readily parts from the tree.
Grapes begin to change color two
or three weeks before the are ripe.
Chestnut trees will come into
bearing when 8 years old; they do
best planted in groups.
The secret of profitable apple cul-
ture is to cultivate thoroughly and
feed the trees literally.
Regular pruning obviates the
necessity for cutting away large
limbs and insures better fruit.
It is not a good plan to let the
raspberries and blackberries grow
too high; keep them pinched back.
An application of wood ashes is
considered one of the very bestrem-
edies for pear trees that bear crack
ed pears.
The presence of borers may be
readily detected by their chips near
the roots of the trees. See that
they are destroyed.
No matter at what season the
trees are set out, it is important that
good care be taken to pack the earth
firmly about the roots before leaving
the tree.
Vegetables and fruits of all kinds
thrive and yield better if the soil
before planting is worked reasonably
deep and then the surface is kept
in good filth.
Keeping all young trees carefully
staked leads to the formation of
clean, straight stems and these in
their turn are conductive to the
growth of large fruitful heads.
Pears ripen bestin the dark. They
should be picked when matured and
carefully ripened by placing them
in shallow boxes or drawers and
storing in a dark place, well venti-
lated.
Thin out the cid canes of cur
rant bushes. A half dozen we'll
developed stems will produce as
much fruit, and that of a better
quality, than of twice the number
of weak crowded ones.
In transplanting the trees all the
roots that may have become broken
or bruised in the process of lifting
should be cut clean away behind
the broken part. Make the cut
clear, sloping one in an upward and
outward direction.
The peach and plum are SO nearly
related to each other as to be budded
or grated on each other. The plum
endures the cold better than the
peach, and the latter fruit, grown on
plum stocks, can be much more
easily protected than when grown
on it's own.
The orange colored rust on the
raspberry and blackberry bushes is
a fungus which spreads rapidly,
and will soon ruin an entire field or
plantation unless prompt measures
are resorted to, Digging up and
burning of all infected plants is the
only known safe remedy.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-Five Hun
dred Dollars for NOTHING.
The Winner Has q Clear Gift of a
Small Fol tune, and the Losers
Have Patents that May Bring
Them in Still More.

Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see way to do It,
The Press Claims Company devotes much att
tention to patents. 1t has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but 1t would
like to handle thousands more. There Is plen.
ty of inventive talent at large in this country.
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results That encouragement the
Press Claims Company proposes to give.
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 q patentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
of the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that 1t 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 ths 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 a
child's ball, so that it would come bal to the
hand when thrown, made a 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.

Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-09-25

A fine of $500 was imposed on
the r. NJ. S. Warrimoo yesterday !,
by Collector Milne. after Capt. J +.
c. Arthur and Purser T. B.
Young had been heard in explain
alton of the affair. The breach
of the customs act charged was
that an amended manifest had
not been filed when the ship car
ried away part of the cargo
originally manifested for this
port. The offense beng admit
ted, though it had been done
without intention to violate the
law, the collector had no option
bnt to impose the fine, which is
the minimum provided by law.
The captain aud purser returned
to Vancouver this morning. Capt.
Arthur declared that be bad sup
posed all the requirements of the
customs laws had been complied
with when the shin left port. and
be is quite as well satisfied as are
the customs authorities with the
amended regulations which will
obviate repetition of what has
occurred. He disclaims all re-
sponsibility for the carrying away
of the Victoria freight, which
was made necessary by the
peremptory orders received from
the ships agents to carry on to
Vancouver the Sound freight,
which had been loaded in such a
way that it would have had to be
landed at Victoria as intended, in
order to get at that for this port.
He expresses himself as much an
moved that circulation should
have peen given to the rnmor
that the steamship company or
officers desired TO favor any port
or any shipper in the interest of
any other, rs they were most
anxious to satisfy all with whom
they could do business. Daily

Mr. Blaine, he conspired with

missionaries against the govern
ment Of the Queen. l know this
as fact. In order to accomplish
this robbery an attempt was made
to proclaim new constitution.
Mr.. Stevens aud his fellow con-
spirators knew well that the ar
dent wish of all the Hawaiians
was h have a new constitution in
the place of the one forced upon
the lite King kalakaua by
foreign rebels. The lottery was
the more popular among the

OF the ministers were spending

However. Stevens and his
fellow missionaries tried to protest
hypocritically against this latter
one, but in the meantime some
judges of tue Supreme Court went
secretly to the Queen and encour-
aged her all they could, telling
her that the constitution was de-
fective and all the people wished
was new constitution.
The talk that the provisional
government will give Hawaii to
England is all bosh. 1t is simply
another fraudulent scheme Of the
missionaries to tempt the United
States to commit robbery.

NEWS OF BELLINGHAM BAY

Bellingham bay has reason to be
proud Of her yachts. They carried off
the honors at Victoria with ease. The
Myth took first prize in class A, while
the Wanda won first prize in class b.
Both Commodore Leaning, the owner
and commander of the Myth, and Cap
tain Mckay proved themselves first
class sailors. The two boats, and es.
peeially the Myth, were the cynosure
ofall the yachtsmen's eyes. She Is flat
as a pancake, but she has the speeding
qualities and in the race she was ad
mirably managed; and this remark Il
also true of the Wanda.
The Bellingham bay people who
went to Victoria are almost unanimou.
in their praises Of the celebration and
the citizens Of the beautiful town
There were the usual number Of in.
stances, perhaps, Of "cinching the
stranger" but this is To be expected. A
local restaurant man was charged &
dollar for cham and cggsn and solaced
with "a cigar. But sometime he will
have an opportunity Of getting even. .
The people of Victoria are hospitablC
withal, and their annual celebration OF
the queens birthday is an event of the
Sound country.
