NOT 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 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 Office or not. Every
competitor must apply for patent on his in
vention through us, and whether he secures
the prize or not, the inventor will have a valu-
able patent.

The Art Of Cooking Water.

The Reflector" says that one Of
the secrets of palatab]e food is know
ing how to cook water. The secret
is to put fresh filtered water into q
clean kettle already warm, to let it
boil quickly, and to use it the in
slant it is boiled. To let it steam
and simmer means to have COM
bination of lime, iron and dregs in
the kettle and all the good water
evaporated into air. It is surpris-
ing that many housekeepers, other
wise neat and particular, seem to
think that kettle will stay clean
without active measures on their
part. The mere fact that nothing
but water is boiled in it does not
guarantee it against the need Of
securing. It will soon become coated
with rusty-looking layer of slime
unless it receives the care as other
cooking utensils. Food cooked with
water which is not properly boiled
or which is boiled in q kettle coated
with dregs has not the same flavor
that properly cooked food has.
Moreover, it is dangerous to health.

Sisted Of GoyUrnof Nee small, 6on-|
ator 8houp, Con9rsssman Wilson, \
ex-U. s. Marshal PinkhAm, 1udes1
Richards, Major Caysnah and other
prominent horticulturists. Prunss
have gone up three-quartsrs Of =
cent per pound, and even hops are|
said to b raising. The subjects
which will b discussed By these
able opponents Of horticulture are
not on . horticultural limo, but they3
will be interesting and instructive
to the other horticulturists Of less
experience who are horticultnrally
gathered here.
For instance, Gov. Mcdonnell
will address the horticultural So
ciety on the best and shortest
methods of raising cabbages, horse
rustlers and other growths indigen-
GUS to Idaho, and the quickest way
of ripening them. This is not hor-
ticulture pure, but is admissible.
Senator Shoup will speak on ir-
rigation as conducted in the city Of
Washington. Much is expected Of
this speech, as the senator will en-
deavor to explain how he intends
to irrigate quarter section Of the
United States Senate when the next
silver fight comes on. He will also
speak briefly on his recently patent
ed device for tapping the populist
latterals without taking down any
of his own fences. This is not ac-
tually horticulture, but on the same
general lines.
Marshal Pinkham is booked for
an address on his experience with
the Coxey pest which lately infested
the box cars and ties of the railroads.
Probably no man in the state is
more competent to deal with this
subject. He is also expected to
tell what he believes the effect of
the full moon would be on Willis
Sweets present growth of aspira-
tons if the man in the moon were
really Governor Mcconnell.
Congressman Wilson will speak
chiefly on prunes. He will attempt
to prove that no man is entitled to
sit in congress until he has started
a prune orchard. The statement
that he would relate his experience
in grating oranges on to young
sagebrush for the benefit of the hor-
ticultural society lacks foundation.
He says that the experiment was
not wholly successful and thinks
the methods of grating should be
improved. The old manner didn't
seem to hurt the sagebrush at all,
but it did the orange no good.
Much regret is expressed at the
absence of Senator Dubois, Hon.
Willis Sweet and State Treasurer
Bunting, all well known and en-
thusiastic horticulturists.
Mr.. Sweet was expected to adj
dress the society on his method of
raising the wind during senatorial
conflicts, and whether he thinks
the crop of Presbyterian ministers
in North Idaho could be injured by
too much irrigation. Senator Du-
bois was to address the society on
his method of cultivating the sena-
torial bee and whether the Nor
mons as a people are to be trusted
in handling this bee. Advance sheets
of this address were good reading
and highly entertaining but the
senator found it impossible to at
tend owing to date he had with
Monsignor Satolli Of Italy. How
ever, even with these noted horti-
culturists absent, the meeting will
be grand success, and much good

A Youthful Priest Assigned to a Larger

A Youthful Priest Assigned to Larger
Field.
When Father Bloomer, of Holy Rosary
church, was called to missionary work IN
Texas, Rev. Martin A. Sheehan was APP
pointed to succeed him. He arrived from
Memphis on Wednesday morning. Al
though much younger in appearance
than he. really is, and yet he is only in
his thirty fourth year, one would scarce
ly think that he has been actively en-
gagged in pastoral duties during the past
eleven years. He was born in Harris
burg, Ky, and was educated at st. Jo-
sephs convent in Somerset, Ohio, where
he was ordained at a youthful age.
From there he went to New York city,
where he was assigned to the only Do
minican church in the city. He re-
manned eight years and was then sent to
take charge of St. Peters church in
Memphis for a. period Of three years: He
was absent from his parish when he
advised of his promomtions to Holy R9-s
ssry church in this city. His three yeHrA
in Memphis had not expired; the work
that he planned had not been completed;
nevertheless he fastened back, placed the
matters under his charge in as satisfac-
tory a condition as possible for the time
at his disposal and came to this city an
absolute stranger. He had never been in
the Northwest before, and he smilingly
says he left sunny cline to experience
the rigors of a northern winter. He has
splendid physique and iss the perfect
picture Of health; a modest, retiring de-
meanor, al, intelligent countenance and q
most agreeable manner.
y His promotion has been rapid. He Will
remain here three years unless sooner
called away by the provincial, and at the
end of that period he may be permitted
to continue.
Tomorrow he Will say Mass, but at
what hour he was unable to say. When
he preached his FAREWELL sermon in
Memphis the edifce was. filled He had
hosts Of friends in his southern parish,
and will undoubtedly experience the
same gratifying result in his northern
