Philosophers Stone.

An excellent reproof is that which is
said to have been administered on one
occasion by Jose Ribera, the famous
Spanish painter. He lived in the days
when there were many students of al
chemy and foolish believers in its great
powers. One day two Spanish officers
were discussing certain wonders of al
chemy in Ribera's house.
Ribera did not join in the discussion,
but at last said quietly that he was in
possession of the philosopher 8 stone" :"
and that they might see his way of using
it the next morning if they chose.
The two officers appeared at the ap-
pointed time the next morning, but
found the artist hard at work, not in a
mysterious laboratory, as they had ex-
pected, but at his easel Asking them to
restrain their impatience for a short
time, he painted steadily ON, finished
the picture ON which lie was at work,
and sent it out by his servant, who
brought back a small, sealed package.
r. Ribera. broke the seal IN the presence
Of his eager guests and threw 10 gold
doubloons on the table.
"You see now how gold is to be
made" )" he said quietly, with a smile

TO INVENTORS.

If you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to lightning rod without a ground con-
nection. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own Spec1hca-
tiOns, OF trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
DO you want to know what the Press Claims
Company is? 1t is syndicate of hundreds of
the leading papers of the United States, or
ganized to protect those of the subscribers
who have dealings with Government against
the impoSitions of unscrupulouS claim agents.
The SPECTATOR is a member.
This able Company employs the best legal
talent in every branch Of its work. 1t makes
a speciality of all matters relating to patents,
csnducting g ginterferences, prosecuting rejected
cases, registering trademarks and copyrights,
rendering opinions as to scope and validity OF
patents, securing patents abroad, prosecuting
and defending infringement suits, etc. 1t
charges nothing for information, and very
moderate fees for services.

THE MODERN WAY.
4 Chlvalrio Tale of Love, Flight, Bike
and knight.

CHAPTERI
Fondly. the knight of the Silver
Shield loved the fair and noble Lady
Gwendoline, and she as fondly returned
his love.
She returned it because it was SO nice
to have him give it back to her as he
always did.
ssMy own," he murmured, olasping
her to his bosom.
'tHere, too, )" she whispered as she coy
ly nestled her faxen head upon the
stovelid cuirass he wore over his manly
chest, partly for protection and partly
for revenue only.
CHAPTER IL
But the old duke, the Lady Gwendo
lines father, was opposed to the match.
He had asked the knight to take off
his silver shield and substitute gold
one, and the knight had refused with
scorn and contumely.
The knight still owed for the silver
shield, and he did not care to mortgage
his immortal soul for q change.
"Do as I command" sternly ordered
the old duke, cor never be son-inlaw
of mine.
"Well, 1 don't think" Missed the
knight between his set of teeth, and the
strike was Oh.
CHAPTER ILL.,
The knight of the Silver Shield had
told the Lady Gwendoline all.
He could not tell her more, or he
would have dono SO gladly, SO much he
loved her.
81 will f1ee." she bravely said
:. "Two fees" lie replied heartily. and
they packed small kit of wedding
things
In half an hour they were flying from
the gray and grim old castle.
CHAPTER ".
And fast before the old duke, then.
Three hours they'd fled together,
And if he'd caught them in the glen
He would have mopped the heather
up with the knight
The old duke hard behind them hied.
Should he tiicir steps discover,
Then what could cheer the bonny bride
When he had sluggod her loverf
But still, as wildly blew the wind
And as the night grew drearer,
The duke was coming up behind,
His putting sounded nearer.
CHAPTER
A great thought came to the knight
of the Silver Shield.
"Sweet one" he said softly, Stacking
his speed, "wait but little I will
come again. :
ssWoitipo fo,. vor, - chQ w h cDorod
"were such sweet sorrow that would
wait until tomorrow. -
1t was then IL 30 p. M, and the
knight, kissing tho fair lady's hand,
hurried back over the way which they
had come.
"Saved!" he exclaimed, returning to
forward.
"But papa?" she asked, with anxious
eagerness.
"Knocked out in the first round"
laughed the knight of the Silver Shield
in loud, triumphant tones. 81 filled the
road with tacks, and the old mans tire
is punctured SO that he has to lay up for
REPAIRS
"My herOp' murmured the fair Lady
Gwendoline, gazing fondly on him as
they flew along the glistening turnpike.
CHAPTER VII.
Two bikes with but u single thought,
Two lovers safely carried
Into the haven which they sought,
And so they married.

The deep affections Of the breast
That heaven to living things imparts
Are not exclusively possessed
By human hearts.
parrot from the Spanish Main,
Full young and early Gagged, came o'er
With bright wings to the bleak domain
OF Mullas shore.
To spicy groves, where he had won
His plumage of respondent hue,
His native fruits and skies and sun
He bade adieu.
For these he changed the smoke of turf,
A heathory land and misty sky,
And turned on rocks and raging surf
His golden eye.
But. petted in our climate cold,
He lived and chartered many day
Until, with age, from green and gold
His wings grew gray.
At last, when blind and seeming dumb,
He scolded, laughed and spoke no more,
A Spanish stranger CHANGED to come
To Mulla' s shore.
He hailed the bird in Spanish speech;
The bird in Spanish speech replied,
Flapped round the cage with Joyous
screech,
Dropped down and died.
