The Reserve.

The Nez Perez commission
will expire by limitation Satur-
day, April Both, and also by vir-
tue of having completed the
business for which it was crea-
ted. The result of its work to
that date will then have been
transmitted to the Interior de-
partment, when the treaty will
go to the next congress for ratifi~
cation.
The four perverse bucks who
went to Washington some weeks
ago for the expressed purpose of
prejudicing the treaty had, ac-
cording to private advices,
sought no audience with the In
dian department up to week
ago but the deleotable Tom Page
was expected to arrive on that
day and under his sheltering
wing and redoubtable escort they
were to make their debut in

been as yet approved by the

week has brought complaint
from Keuterville, Cottonwood

not received by the several SUBJ

was confined to only a few but
during the past few weeks it has

that the entire list is checked
twice before leaving this office.
We have, therefore, come to the
conclusion that the fault rests

Loie Fuller Likes Corsets.

Loie Fuller refutes the argument Of
the dress reformers that grace is incom-
patible with corsets by announcing, as
the result of her own experience, that a
well made corset fits the body exactly
and supports instead of confines it's. in
short, help rather than hindrance to
grace. II do not think | could dance
without corset or a, bOned waist" she
says, land am quite sure that l could
do all of my dances in the suggest
street gown | own. 1t is nonsense to
suppose that grace and well fitting gowns
cannot go together 1t is easier for a
woman to be graceful if her dress fits
her than if she is wearing loose rag OF
dress" She says, too, that the day is
past when women could walk and dance
better without heels. The foot has been
trained for generations to walk with a
heel and without it is badly strained
across the instep. For dancing purposes
she recommends a plain satin slipper
because it gives to the foot and being
without ornamentation makes the foot
look small.

A Story About Tin Foil.

Some years ago tobacconist discov-
cred the utility of tin foil for wrapping
chewing tobaccos. Heretofore paper
had been exclusively used for the ptr-
pose, but it did not serve to keep the
moisture of the atmosphere away from
the tobacco nor preserve the natural
moisture of the tobacco from the effects
of dry or heated atmosphere. Paper
also absorbed the aroma of the weed and
was not sufficiently lasting. Therefore
tin foil was used for wrappers. But it
became costly and could only be rolled
to a certain thickness or thinness be-
yond which the ingenuity of man seemed
to find it impossible to go. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary to MASKING the
tin foil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable,
when simple workman about the shop
one day, after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness, put the two sheets
together into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as one was before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end,
but it created revolution in the manu-
facture of tin foil for tobacconists' use
and made mint of money for the boss
of the discoverer. The man had struck
upon the idea by accident, but the dis
covery was as great and as profitable as
if he had been a great inventor and
spent years of his valuable life over the
question. Boston Herald.

The Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few FpeOple regard them.
selves as inventors, butt almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of theIlittle frictIOns of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows sothat they.can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs" eXclaims the traveller. "If | were
running the road would make them in such
wsy"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking Off" grumb es the cook. "He
never had 10 work over a 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 would'nt
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, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves ssln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen DuzZla

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appal !
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be 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 new device to
pateutable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
TO get into the head of the public a clear CON-
prehension OF the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial thst 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 inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord TO child's ball, 80 that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ngenuity-thepr product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred aud tiftyryears, 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 unusua
nature. II is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prizo. 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
rewarded for doing it. The prize 10 only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
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 device in the Press Claims Company's
competition need not worry If he fail to So
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 1t 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 and popu-
larty, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
dyed from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Mrs. slarshalI:s Demonstration.

Mrs. A. B. Marshall of London is at
the head of what is probably the greatest
cooking school, pure and simple, in the
world. Recently in her class she gave a
demonstration of ball supper for 100
guests, and herself prepared everything
in the elaborate menu ofnearly 40 dishes.
The process occupied hours, and 180in-
terested women, with small sprinkling
of men, looked on from start to finish.
1t is testimony to Mrs. Marshalls other
than cooking talents that she is reported
not only to have riveted their attention
through the long object lesson, but by
her energy and good humor kept them
in capital spirits the whole time"
When the dishes were ready, they were
set out on a fully decorated and fur
nished banquet board, thus illustrating
the complete process.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people TO keep track of their
bright ideas and sec what there is in them
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim.
pliest and most promising invention, from
commercial point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, in
addition to refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free o
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con
ditions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search,
the cost of which will be five dollars
Should this search show his invention beot
unpatentable. he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. 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. Ths prize will be awarded
by jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending COM
petitors should fill out the following blank,
and forward II with their applications:
