PAT EN- rs
Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the de-
mand for inventions and improve
ment in the arts and sciences gen
orally was SO great as now. The
conveniences of. mankind in the
factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm and in official
life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and imple-
ments Of each in order to save labor,
time and expense. The political
change in the administration of
government does not effect the pro-
gress Of the American inventor,
who being on the alert, and ready
to perceive the existing deficiencies,
does not permit the affairs of gov
eminent to deter him from quickly
conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great
care cannot be exercised in choos-
ing a competent and skilled attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and des-
troyed in innumerable instances by
the employment of incompetent
counsel, and especially is this adj
vice applicable to those who adopt
the "No patent, no pay" system
Inventors who intrust their bus
mess to this class of attorneys do SC
at eminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of quick endeavol
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due.

Nineteenth Century Education.

The New York School Journal con-
tains an interesting resume Of the
status of education at the close of the
nineteenth century. In particular The
Journal felicitates the American people
on the mighty educational gains all
along the line in the past 80 years.
The kindergarten is one of the estab-
lished facts in which the close of the
century may rejoice. With it's advent
a new era of progress and JOY in learn
ing was opened before the school child.
A deeper sympathy with the child nature
is also one of the greatest gains for hui
mainly in our time.
Another magnificent step forward is
the improved schoolhouse. Here indeed
can be nothing but congratulation. The
traveller on a railway train passes hurried
ly past village after village in tour
through the land. They are plain and
humble. most of them, especially in the
newer portions of the country, but in
every case where the place is even four
or five years old there will be hand
some and imposing school building, the
finest house in the town.
Then, too, the interest in education is
widespread We are at last trying tC
educate the negro and the Indian along
the lines the white race travelled to gel
it's civilization and learning. through the
path Of work and manual training. One
of our greatest gains is the establishment
of manual training and trade schools
and another is the introduction of phys
ical culture into educational courses. 81
is the increase in salary of the teacher
Another gain is the introduction of thu
study of geometry into kindergarten
classes through the use Of mathematics
forms and lines.
Concerning all these. we may rejoice
But when The Journal goes on and i'll
forms us that school compositions ar

could not compare with those Of tn

The army bill finally passed by the
new German parliament differs consid-
erably from the one ON which the former
parliament went to pieces. 1t lessons
considerably the annual number of sol
dlers to be conscripted. 1t also makes
the term Of actual service in the army
for the conscripts either two or three
years, according to the discretion of the
superior officers. If the man is a
satisfactory soldier at the end of two
years, so far as drill and discipline are
tOncerned, he may be discharged; other
wise he must be kept another year. 1t
may be observed, however, that it is not
the policy of the German military au-
thorities to let off many men under
three years The greatest concession
made to the growing public sentiment
against increasing the German army
was in the diminished number of drafted
men called for. The only way the bill
was passed at all was through the
shrewdness of Caprivi in making an an
nouncement in reference to the bill be-
fore the final ballotings took place in

former one.

comes from melting snow and ice in
spring. If possible, the side ditch should
be about three feet from the edge of the
travelled roadway, and there should gen.
orally be a side ditch on each side II
the travelled roadway is IA feet wide,

Organize For Better Roads.

While the important subject Of high
way improvement is under much too
deliberate consideration III many locali-
ties some of the people in New Jersey
have been up and doing and will soon
accomplish about all that the most en-
thusiasti believer in road reform could
desire. Such legislation as the wide
awake Jerseymen needed was enacted
as soon as il was asked for, and the re-
suits have been wonderfully beneficial.
The work has been and is being done
under the supervision Of the country
authorities, and already four counties
have made great progress toward the
possession of complete system of first
class roads. Singularly enough, the
counties in which the least progress has
been made are those in which the farm
ers are in a majority. 1t would be but
natural to suppose that the agricultural
element of the population would be
most anxious to have the highways in
their immediate vicinity so improved
that heavy loads could easily be trans.
ported to and from market So well has
the Jersey system worked that il would
pay the farmers of Maryland and Vir-
ginia to investigate the methods being
operated in the country Of the "san0
Spaniards" and put the information tc
local use. With good roads leading to
the centers of consumption, agriculture
would be much more profitable than il
is now Farmers are all willing TO adj
NIT this, but not one in a hundred

The Importance OF Drainage In RoadwayA
Remarks ON Side Ditches.
Mud is the greatest obstacle to the
travel and traffic Of the farmer. Mud is
q mixture of dirt and water. The dirt Is
always to be found in the roadway, and
the water, which comes in rain and
snow and frost, softens it, horses and
wagons knead il and mix il, and it soon
gets into SO bad condition that fair
ly loaded wagon cannot be hauled
through It, We cannot prevent the COM
ing Of this water, and it only remains
for us to get rid of il as soon as possible.
Very few Of us know how great an
amount Of water falls upon a country
road, and 1t may surprise some OF us to
be told that on each mile of an ordinary
country highway three rods wide there
fall each year an average OF q, 600 tons
Of water. Water is heavy, limpid fluid,
hard to confine and easy to let loose. 1t
is always seeking for a chance to run
down hill, always seeking to find its
lowest level In the ordinary country
dirt road the water seems TO stick and
stay as If there was no other place for
it, and this is only because we have
never given it fair opportunity to run
out Of the dirt and find its level in other
places We cannot make a hard road
out Of soft mud, and no amount Of labor
and machinery will make good dirt

The league is not committed to any
form of legislation IT to any one kind

interest people in the subject, to con.

of having good public highways and to

From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON LETTER.

Mr.. Cleveland will probably find him
self in hot water as soon as congress
meets, and judging from the number
of democrats now engaged in gather
ing fuel, there is little probability that
the supply of hot water will be allowed
to run short during the session. First
and foremost democrats from the west
and south will begin to ask unpleasant
ouestions about the bond issue an
nounced last week. Secretary Carlisle
NAV yet have to explain why he per-
sisted in saying up to the day before
the call was issued, that no issue of
bonds was contemplated. Representa-
tive Hooker of Mississippi, voiced the
sentiment of these democrats when he
said publicly: This issue of bonds is
defiance of congress, and it seems to
have been intended as such. There is
nothing in the financial condition. or in
the condition of the treasury depart
ment, which made it necessary for the
president to negotiate this loan before
the representatives of the people could
assemble, and there would seem to be
every reason why the representatives OF
the people should be consulted about
the matter. The fair conclusion would
appear to be that the president feared
that his policy would be disapproved if
submitted to congress, and he desired
