Tom Fitzpatrick, who has been out
west for nearly year working upon
bridges for railway company, is
now visiting relatives and friends in
the vicinity of Joslin. He came
through Kansas and says: The
section of country through which l
passed is badly used up on account
of the drouth."
The new Woodman hall is receiv-

and attempted to pass off a check on
Simonson 4 Schafer's bank for q bill

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
some Queer Devices for Feminine Use
Madc bY the Fair Sex.

Made by the Fair Sex.
Significant of the times is the fact
that woman is rapidly coming to the
front as an inventor. Women are not
only filling thousands of applications
Tor patents on improvements in articles
especially adapted and intended for
their sex, but they are exercising their
ingenuity in the direction Of improving
many OF the implements with which
men only as a rule are supposed to deal
The model-roOm of the Patent Office In
Washington bears witness to the fact
that the inventive genius Of the fair
sex. while perhaps not so prolific as
man s has certainly accomplished re-
markable results.
one interesting and amusing inven-
ton by woman is a Crimplng pin
which may be used as a paper cutter.

DEVICE consisted of a collar-like band

and was fashioned so as to control the

Ilnlted pressure on certain veins and
arteries. In 1881 patent was issued to
Boston woman on two somewhat

storing facial symmetry. and consisted

WEALTH OF THREE NATIONS.

Greatest Councillors.

Greatest Competitors.
The reported valuation OF all prop
erty in the United States by the census
of 1890 was s65. 037. 091, 1877, or sl.036 per
capita for the entire population. This
enumeration, however. dealt with prop
erty located In the United States, and
did not go into the question where il
was owned. If the estimate OF Mr..
Robert Giffen is correct, that $1,000
100000 in foreign capital was invested
In this country in 1880, probably an
even larger amount is so invested at
the present time. Deduction should
also be made for the high value put
upon waste public lands in the census,
with the net result that the per capita
valuation Of the United States would
be reduced to about $3.50, or s4.750 for
family Of five. Estimates made by
careful economists, who come pretty
near agreement among themselves, put
the valuation of Great Britain about
nine years ago at $4,000, 900, 000 and
that Of France al $40, 900, 900, 900. This
would afford a per capita valuation of
S1,338 for Great Britain and sl,0S1 for
France, making the valuation for a
family Of five Sc, $50 in Great Britain.
and S5,405 in France. The figures of
France are placed somewhat higher by
some authors, and the total in both
countries include careful estimates Of
the large holdings Of foreign securities.
some Of them covering property located
in the United States. The great hold
ings Of foreign securities, estima ted TO
amount in Great Britain to about $S,
000,000000, explain to large extent the
adverse balance of foreign trade con-
stantly shown by the British statistics.
Great Britain would long ago have
been denuded of her gold and become
bankrupt II the excess of imports over
exports shown by her trade statistics
were a true measure of her financial
condition. The fact that over $500 .000,

plains how she can afford to import sew

foreign merchandise which she exports.
France is estimated to hold 81, 900 000-

and Spanish, and she also has been able

a striking instance of animal instinct,

Root, a prosperous farner of Wissa-

bled for months with rheumatism Of
the entire body, and all the treatment
of learned veterinarians failed to re-

upon being turned into the meadow, the
horse paved up the loose earth with his
hoof and stopped down to lick up the

since the rheumatic horse has taken his
daily dose of mud to the extent Of
nearly half peck per day. He is almost
entirely cured.
