the many high hills which stretch
away from the Brecon Beacons to-
ward Swansea bay, from which the
diva's homo takes its name, appears
to the weary and footsore traveller
ito whom hearty meal and ample
rest is never denied) to be as an oasis
amid the desert plains. Built in the
center of a wildly romantic expanse
Of scenery and traversed by the
Tawe, a bright little river which
hurries seward, babbling and rip
ping as it flows, the castle stands re,
splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view Of
the broad valley and its picturesque
surroundings.
To the left of the chateau are sit
uated the Conservatives, wineries,
peachhouses, etc, and last, but not
least, the magnificent winter garden,
which has lately been erected and
stocked with rare palms and Australi-
an ferns. Here the diva takes her daily
walk when fierce gales and drench-
ing showers deter her from Drawing
the elements. The castle and winter
garden are brilliantly Illuminated by
electric light, go that the effect of the
cattle at night, when viewed from
the somber valley, is that of an en-
ohanted palace situated In Fairyland

life" "Yes," replies victim, "and
what lot of change she requires while
doing it," But what women are most
interested in is the change they can
make in their own lives by the use of
Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to
being whose liyes are filled with pleas
ure and enjoyment. 1t does this by
removing the many painful pains, sen
sations OF nausau, backache and the
long train of ills from which the sex
suffers. To those about to become child,
birth, shortens labor; promotes the
secretion of an abundance of nourish-
ment for the child and shortens the
period of confinement.

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 risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
MS 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 doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
petiivc plan for 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 u simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tltion, ne d not worry if he fail to secure the
prize He has substantial result to show
for his work-on that will command its val
ue 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 il than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple to be worth
patenting. TIE simblcr the better. The
pers VI who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims COmpanys twenty five hundred dol,

Notice to InvetorS,

There was never a time in the history of
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
veniences of mankind in the factory and
work shop, tile household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order to snye labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
OF government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng ON the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs Of
government to deter him from quickly con.
eeiy,ng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing a competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application tor patent Valuable interests
haye been lost and destroyed in lnnumerable
instances by the employment of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially IS this advice
applicable to those who adopt the "No pat
ent, no pay" system. Inventors who cntrust
their business to this class of attorneys do
so at imminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never considered in
view Of quick endeavor to get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS

Sewing In Public Schools,

The course Of study in sewing in
the Boston public schools is interest
ing for an amateur of sewing to con-

Reputation,

The value of reputation is almost
cynically set forth by the case Of a
young literary man whose rejected
story came back to him from a great
publishing house with few words
of praise qualified by the declaration
that 1t showed traces of the amateur.
Encouraged by this he set to work
and produced a novel. This he sent
to the same house, and it was &C
copied 1t succeeded, and the young
author soon afterward sold to the
same publisher the rejected story at
double the price he had originally
asked. New York Sun.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard tnem-
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or ano'her,
with ideas that seemed calculated to renucc
some ofthc little frictions OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without iurthcr
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make
its car windows so that they could Dc slld up
and down without breaking the passengers
backs?' cXclaims the Traveller. III were
running the road would make them IN such
a way
"What was the man that made this sauce

never had to work oyer stoyc, or he would
have known how it ought to have been liked
Hang such collar button !! growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "lf were in
the business I'd make buttons that wonllh l
slip out or break of, or gouge out the back
of my neck.
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grcyancrs and begin to think OF some
thing else. lfthcy would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put thelr l"e"s
about car windows, sauccpans, ana colihr
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puHHIc.

Would you like to make twenty-five nun

what follows and you may see way to 90 IT,
The Press Claims Company devotcs much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous-
onds of applications for Inventions, but IL

needing nothing but Il C our ng III ell
to produce practical results. That enconr-
aecment the Press Claims Company pro-
poses to give.
NOT 50 HARD AS 1T SEEMs'',
A patent strikes most people as an appall-
ingly formidable thing The idea Is 'll"I an
inventor must be natural genius, like Ell
son or Bell that he must put years 10 delVlng
in complicated mechanical problems and
that he must spend fortune on dcl!ca!e ex-
permcn,s before he can get new device 10
n pa,cutable degree of perfection. Inns ae-
luslon the company desires to dlspci. IL de'
sires 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 au'hors
but the little, simple, and cheap ones-tne
things that seem so absurd'y trivial Iha' inc G
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed OF
bringing them to the attention OF inc fa'ehV
Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the naicnts on all his marvellous inven-
tions have not been sufficient pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con
ccivcd the idea of fastening bit OF ruobcr
cord to Il child's ball, so that it would come
back to his hand when thrown made 1or-
tune out of his scheme. The modern sew
ing machine is miracle OF ingeenulty-the
product fthe toll ofhundleds OF busy brains
through hundred and fifty years, but me
whole brilliant result rests upon the Simple
device of putting the eye of 'he needle AT the
point instead of the other end.
