scABBY LEGS AMONG CAGE BIRDS.

The cause of scabby feet and legs
among canary and other cage birds is
the same as among domestic fowls, that
is, the presence of mites, which breed
and live in the scabs or scales on the
feet and legs. The development and
multiplication of these pests is due to
want of cleanliness and thorou Oh clean
ing of the birds cage. Your bird may
have been infested with mites when
you bought it, or they may have been
in the cage, and from it reached the
birds legs and feet. To kill the mites
and remove the scabs you have only to
anoint the birds legs and feet daily for
perhaps week with flowers of sulphur
mixed to thin paste with common
kerosene. Apply with soft hair
pencil, merely painting the feet and
legs with the mixture. The scabs will
soon drop off and leave the feet clean.
The cage and roosts should also be
thoroughly cleaned with boiling hot
water. New York Sun.

IMPROVED METHOD OF rArrENrNa FOWLS

IMPROVED METHOD OF FATrENING FOWLS
Some time ago method of fatten-
ing poultry practiced among the
French was described in some of the
American papers, its novelty giving
interest to it. The method consisted
in forcing the food down the birds
throat by means of pipe and a sort
of force pump, operated by the per-
sons foot, by which certain quantity
of the soft food was pushed into the
throat. The birds were confined in
boxes in large circulating frame,
which was turned as needed to bring
all the nests in turn in front of the
machine for feeding. Nothing came
of it, and probably the method has
been abandoned by it's inventor by
this time. The method of fattening
geese in Strasburg, Germany, for the
sake of the enormously large livers
thus procured, is somewhat similar to
this. The food is rolled into sort of
pill, long and narrow, and these are
pushed down the throats of the birds,
confined in coops for the purpose.
This method has long been practiced
and still exists for producing the large
livers, made SO by disease, for the
making of n very popular kind of pies
called pates de foie gras. New York

An Experienced Hand.

Edgar Davis, who is now in the
county jail on the charge of bur-
glary and theft, the negro who is
alleged to have burglarized a house
on Avenue C about three weeks
ago, is an old-time offender. One
year ago today he was arrested by
the detectives on the charge of as
sault and robbery, supposed to be
the one who terribly beat up an
Italian shoemaker on Acequia
street. At that time the evidence
was not sufficient for conviction,
and he was released from custody.
This time, however, the proof is
conclusive, and he will likely serve
out a sentence in the state prison.

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
deiving in complicated mechanical problems
aud that he must spent a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a new device to
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public a 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 citi-
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 iuven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord TO a child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ms-
chine is a miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred aud fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in'
stead of at the other end.

NO BLANKS IN This COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for tt g
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful 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 advantage is to be
rewarded for dom = 1t. 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 q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something or very little use to
him. But the person who patent a simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
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 ommand 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 lm.
prove 1t 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's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that it's took is held by
about three hundred of the leading news

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable

Comparatively few people regard them
sci yes as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
come of thellittle frictions Of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make lite
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. IF | were
running the road l YOU make them in such
a way"
What was the man that made this sauce

never had TO work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar button!" growls the
man who Is l.t9 for breakfast. If wee 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 grievarc 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, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents. they might find themselves as IN
