now than it used to be, and ruffles may

One OF the fAnciful notions OF the
changing season is the demand for
gowns of richor materials inside than

which are actually lined with Silk. The
plaid ginghsm so much in vogue is
lined with heavy wash silk of the most
brilliant shade in the plaid. Dressmak-
ers declare that the ''hapg" OF the gown
is thereby much improved, and that
every dress should have tho rustic OF

Patents
Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
yeniences Of mankind IN the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and imp!ementsto each
in order TO save labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who being ON the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs OF
government to deter him from quickly con-
eeiylng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing competent and skill

application for patent Valuable interests

instances by the employment Of incompe-
tent counsel, and especially IS this advice

No Blanks i'm 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
mis- 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.
petitiye plan for club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. Blu, the
person who patents a simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
tition, need not worry if he fail to secure The
prize He has Q, substantial result to show
for his work-one that will command its val
Tie 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 it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretica point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too SIMPLE to be worth

person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get he Press
