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 himselfto the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan fora club house
on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something OF very
little use to him. But the person who
patents a simple and useful device in
The Press Claims Company's competi-
tom 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
simplicity aud 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.

A Horse with an Artificial Eye

Baltimore American.
"A fne-looking brown geldlng
owned by DR.. Walter W. White
had Que of his eyes Injured about
two years ago and gradually lost
the sight in that optic. The case
was brought to the attention of DR..
Ward, the State Veterinarian,
some weeks ago. 1t is a difficult
matter to secure artificial eyes for
horses that will not warp, break or
fall out. DR.. Ward knew that the
proper article could be procured in
Englad, and in reply to a letter the
delicate piece of compound was
received a few days ago. 1t is
made of a composition of vulcanite
and will not change color or be-
come easily injured. Several days
Eago DR.. Ward dried up the injured
eye, and placed a small
circular piece of qulcanite
in the socket, SO as to accustom
the horse to the new sensation. The
imported eye was put in at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. DR..
Ward put a few drops of oil on
the diskltke arrangement, and,
with the aid of lancet, raised the
eyelids and placed the eye in
position. The artificial adornment
locks exceedingly natural.

Greek Women of To-day.

For centuries we have been
taught to look upon the Grecian
type of beauty as the ideal of all
loveliness. To tell a woman that
her nose or left ear or right eye
brow was pure Greek was the
highest compliment one could pay
her. Now comes an iconoclastic
traveller to declare that the
GreciaD woman is short, broad, and
stout, with pale creamy skin
dark hair, and beautiful eyes.
features fairly regular, but not
The prevailing impress
sion is that she has a squat figures
on account of the sedentary lives
they live. Itis the custom of the
country for women to remain in
the privacy Of their homes, a
casual traveller catching only
an occasional glimpse of them at
the upper windows of some private
dwelling or shop. In rural Greece
the women take a more active
part in every day life and work
in the fields with their wells hang
ging loosely over their heads, ready
to be folded across the mouth
should a strange man approach.
The Brown Leghorns resemble
the original wild stock from which
the domestic fowl sprung, more
closely than any other breed
except, possibly, the black-brcsted
redgames: and as they breed true to
color withoutmuch difficulty, they
are the best layers we have. When
we depart from nature and try to
produce something out of the
natural course. we generally in
terfere with natural prolifcacy.

Napoleon as a Shatchen.

Nine. Vincent, a prolific writer
on historical themes has recently
completed sketch of Napoleon
Bonaparte's Matchmaking proclivi-
tiles. Accoding to her researches,
it would seem that the General
was the greatest matchmaker that
ever lived. After repeated refusals
the doughty little soldier himself
finally won the hand of Josephine,
and devoted his matrimonial in
stincts to the affairs of others.
No excuse was admitted from a
bachelor. To officers who pleaded
that they might be killed in battle
he answered" The more reason
for haste" To those who urged
that they could not find wife,
aBe that my care," he said, and
the same evening the affair would
be arranged. The poor received
dowries and trousseaux. One day
by decree the Emperor married
off 5000 soldiers at once. Another
day his great court dignitaries
were obliged en- masse to marry.
While the General was still in his
apprenticeship one might have a
day in which to fall in love and
court his bride of Napoleon's
selection, but later there was no
question of a night for reflection
o, an hour for wooing. No sooner
thought than said: no sooner said
than done.

Greenville News.
Sometime ago an article appear
ed in your paper from Mr.. Viii
Hams in reply to one in the Char
lesion News and Courier from Miss
Floride Cunningham, of Laurens
county, in regard to the record of
Col. William Cunningham, of revo-.
lutionary fame.
The article referred to in your
paper brought out one of the
bloodiest of Cuningham's bloody.
deeds, VIZ: the butchery of Col.
Hayes and his band of ten or a
dozen patriots at Hayes Station"
On yesterday this correspondent
visited the spot where rest the
ashes of these South Carolina
heroes.
The place is wild and desolate-
far removed from any public high
way; and any person desiring to
visit the historic spot, if unac-
quainted with the surroundings,
must be plotted.
In the year Of 1875 a marble
monument was erected over the
graves of these patriots, which a
few years ago was totally destroy
ed by lightning.
An enduring iron fence encloses
the spot. Within this railing lie,
piled in promiscuous confusion the
fragments of the monument.
From one large piece of the mar
BILE I copy the following:

CAPT. DANIEL WILLIAMS,
LIEUT.. CHRISTOPHER HARDY,
JosRPH IRBY, SR.,
JOSEPH IRBY, JR.,

JOHN Cook,

YANcEY SAXON,
who were massacred at Hayes
Stetion' by William Cunningham
and his bloody scouts, October,
1881, after surrendering themselves
as prisoners of war"
From the other fragments ]
gather the following facts:
Colonel Hayes and party had
been apprised of the near ap-
proach of "Bloody Bill" and his
superior force of tories, and be-
lieving escape impossible, took
refuge in a. log house near by to
defend themselves. The tories put.
fire to the house and Hayes sur
rendered.
Almost immed ediately the work of
butchering ommenced, and only
one man escaped to tell the sale.
Cunningham took fendish de-
light in the massacre, and with
his heavy saber put to death those
who were badly wounded hut yet
alive.
The place of burial CT these,
however, is about half a mile from
the scene of their awful deaths.
The murders were committed on
what is now known as "Hayes'
Mountain"
Tradition says the victims were
all placed in one big grave. 1t oc-
ours to this correspondent that
the descendants of these revolu-
tionary patriots should replace the
monument SO that posterity may
not be ignorant of the facts of
this famous revolutionary episode.

nor 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 patentabl9 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 a bit of rubber
cord to child.s ball, so that it would
come back to the hand when thrown
made fortune out of his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is a miracle
of ingenuity-the product of the toll
of hundreds of busy brains through
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.
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST vALU-
ABLE.
Comparatively rev 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 witho' breaking
the passengers backs?" exclaims the
traveller. eff werer ming the road
1 would make them in such way"
What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking Off" grumbles the
cook. Gle never had to work over
stove, or he would have known how it
ought to have been fixed"
"Hang such collar buttonm growls
the man who is late for breakfast eff
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
sot about -their-sriera begin
to think of something else. If they
would sit down at the next convenient
opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans,an 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
puzzle.

MORE HYDRANTs NEEDED.

Undoubtedly there is need of more hy-
drants before the Fire Department can be
expected to successfully fight fire in many
of the outside districts of the city. This
great responsibility lies somewhere, and
there is not much difficulty in locating it.
Under the present water law the water
used in eXtinguishing fires is paid for by
the'hydrant. so much for each one. If the
number of hydrants were increased there
would be no material increase in the
amount of water used for fire purposes,
but the amount paid the water company
would be increased in proportion to the in
crease in the number of hydrants. The
Board of Supervisors has power to in-
crease the number of hydrants and at the
same time to guard against extortion. AS
vet the board has failed to exercise its
powers. Parts Of the city are in constant
danger from lack of hydrants, while in
other parts hydrants appear at short in
tervals of space. There has been mani
tested on tue part of the water company a
disposition to cinch the city, and on the
part of the Supervisors a willingness that
it should. The water company wants to
maintain the present rates, by which it is
paid two or three prices for the water
used to extinguish fires, and the Supervis-
ors have as yet failed to exercise the
power to regulate rates in the city's in
terest.
