Pixies on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to- induce people to
keep track Of their bright ideas we offer a
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to us the most merltorous invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free Of charge in the
National Recorder,a weekly newspaper pub
lished in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests Of in
ventors.
Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small Inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he &C.
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hav
valuable patent.

Tha 0iRrsf Indians and the Piutes
live in the mountains and in the forests
ON the verge Of Death valley. The
Piutes are known as the white Arabs
Of the deaert. Their staple food is
lizard fiesh, which they consider a great
luxury and which they catch on the
borders Of the valley. These lizards
are about two feet long. The Indians
cali them ..chahwallan and roast them
ma caught lbetween hot stones, White
men eat them, too, but dress them and
boil them over q sagebrush fire, They
are said to be very good eating and 10
taste quite like frogs legs.
There are no birds in this neighbor-
hood save the weird, mysterious ragen,
whose ominous voice fifty croaks the
fatal entrance Of those who brave the

add their harsh cries to the sum of
horrors about the place. Curious rep
tiles. uncanny and hobgolin in appear

creature next to the ella monster is
what the natives call "side winlSer"
snake, which is peculiar to this
desolate desert. 1t is a rattler
about twenty inches long, which
moves from side to side with start
ling spring instead of gliding along,
Moreover, it has horns, and l don't

FLESH REDUCTION.
How II Il Done By Celebrated German

How It Il Dens By Celebrated German
Physician.
It Is much easier to acquire flesh than
to lose it. There is no royal road to
beauty for those inclined to plumpness,
and many are the things they are
obliged to do to scare off fat, says the
Philadelphia Record.
An Englishman reduced his weight in
one year from two hundred and two to
one hundred and fifty pounds, and kept
it there. He lived on beef, mutton,
fish, bacon, try toast, poultry, game,
tea, coffee, claret and sherry.
Dr. Schweninger, the famous German
physician, who has established his rep
utation as a fesh-reducer through his
success in ridding Prince Bismarck of
forty pounds avoirdupois in three
months, without the slightest deleteri-
Gus effect upon his patients physical
condition, restricts the consumption OF
liquids ct all times, and depriyes the
patient entirely Of fluids during or
within an hour of meals, forbids starch
and sugar, and advises most heroic
physical exercise.
Physical exercise will, we all know,
reduce flesh. The reason is that in un-
usual exercise, such as rapid walking,
horseback riding, gymnastics or bicy-
cling the blood is more rapidly oxygen
ated and the result is the destruction
or burning out Of the fat, and you may
have noticed that great walkers are
never fat, and that people who live in
high attitudes and mountainous coun-
tries, where they walk greatdeal and
consume quantities Of oxygen, are al
ways aim.

Of interest in that locality To find
any particular grave in this public

guide has difficulty, since the graves
are known only by numbers. Upon
looking at the records Of the cemetery

No. s,9s9, and that the number of the
mound was sos. When the grave was
found it was not unlike the thousands
around it. The mound was sunken and
neglected; the grass, once green upon
it, is long since dead. A small white
marble stone stands at the head, upon
which is inscribed: Mother and
