Very soon, and probably within an

But you'll mind them not a whit
If you laugh little bit.

tuba's Instruction Injurious TO the
United States.

The United States have, in nv opin-
ion, great interest in whatever situa-
ton the affairs of Cuba may find them
selves In. 1t is to their interest that
the island should be prosperous. be-
canse IN that way the commercial reIa-
tons between them will become wider
and more fruitful. The number of
American lmportations will increase
more than those of any other country,
owing to the proximity of the United
States and Cuba to each other and the
cordial relations which have existed
between them so long This admits of
no doubt, for if the mercantile balance
is compared to that OF all the countries
with which the United States have re-
latlons, none, considering the numb Der
of Inhabitants, is of such importance
as the commerce with the island of
Cuba, and the greater the prosperity
OF that island the greater the produce
IL VIII be able to purchase. Were
Cuba independent, its relations with
the United States would be practically
the same IS those of Santa Domingo
and similar countries, so that the
American nation, being a calculating
one, cannot help seeing, apart from
the trea les which it has already made
tenance of peace, that the insurrec-
ton will be Injurious to them. | am
aware that some States-like Florida,
for example, which has grown through
Cuban immigration and developed
Hourlshing towns with regular indus
trles-view these questions in differ
ent light. Persons from the State just
named, inspired by the desire for gain,
are apt to con nit attractions OF inter
national law, which may lead, to-
morrow or the day after, to disagree
able complications between the United
States and Spain, but the interest of
the United States is not in having war
within, much less outside. What is to
their benefit is the constant and ad
mirable development of their vast re-
sources, which they are achieving to

Nor SO HARD as IT SEEMS.

The idea of being able to invent something
strikes 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 Almost
everybody, at some time or another, conceiveS
an idea, which, if patented, would probably be
worth to him a fortune. Unfortunately such
ideas are usually dismissed without Thought
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back the sauce
pan, the collar button, the nut lock- the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things that al
most everyone sees some way of improving
upon, and 1t is these kind of inventions that
bring the greatest returns to the author.
The prize we offer will be paid at the end of
each month, whether the application has been
acted upon by the Patent ONCE or not Every
competitor must apply FOR patent on his in
vention through US, and whether he secures
the prize OF not, the inventor will have valu-
able patent.
