1t was while this now historic blizzard
was at its fiercest that one of Americas
most noted and unique philanthropists
passed away. Ii was on the 18th OF March.
1883. that Henry Bergh, the iriend ana
champion OF dumb animals, passed away.
Henry Bergh was the founder OF tho
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 10
Animals OF which there is branch in
every city Of any size i'm the United
States. His father was new York ship
builder and wealthy Although educa-
ted for the bar Henry Bergh never prac.
ticed the legal profession. In early man
bocd he married wealthy woman and
made an extended tour of Europe. For
two years he remained near the home of
his ancestors on the Rhine, where he
wrote several melo1ramas and legends.
After his return to this country he ives
appointed, in 1862, secretary Of the Ameri.
can legation in st. Petersburg. and II was
after completing his service in the Rus
sian capital that he returned TO America
and began the work OF founding the ante
cruelty society, which now exeris such
powerful and beneficent influence
throughout the country.

GETTING PATENTS.

The Discoverers Are Not Usually the Ones
to Reap the Reward.
If you look back OH the history Of hu-
man progress. you will find that none Of
the great epoch making inventions has
ever been patented. The man who L..
the first fire-whether Prometheus or
the party from whom he stole the idea
did not get q patent for it. Neither
did the man who made the first wheel,
in every sense one Of the most revO-
%lutionary inventions in the history Of
nan. The same thing may be said of
the invention Of soap, candles, gun pow
der, umbrellas and the mariners COM
pass, Or, to come down to our own day,
of the steam engine and the electric tele-
graph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments-it may be in the application Of
steam and e;ectricity-and by means Of
these patents enormous profits have been
secured to second rate inventors, but the
great ideas and discoveries which un-
derlie these details have been given to
the world gratis.
There is a general notion that II you
did not protect inventions by means Of
patents inventors would cease to invent
and material progress would CONF to a
s%tandstill. But history does not bear this
out in tho least. Men with great me-
chanical gifts do not exercise them SOLE
ly with a view to commercial profit any
more than astronomers search the heav-
Il for new worlds with an eye to regis
tering patents and floating companies
on the results Of their discoveries. Lon.

A Strange Coincidence,

A certain peasant and his wife, in
Germany, were married on the same
day as the emperor and empress, the
PEASANTS Christian name being Will
liam. Their first child, Il boy, was born
Oh the same day as the crown prince,
after which they had five other SOM
each of whom was born ut the same
time as the five younger boys of the en-
pcror. The royal couple were informed
of this and were exceedingly interested
in the very strange coincidence, but this
interest was intensified when, OH the
last occasion of royal birth-viZ, the
little daughter of the kaiser-it was
learned that the peasants wife in ques-
ton had also given birth to IL daughter
Oh the same day. So astOnished were
the emperor and empress that they stood
as godfather and gOdmothcr to this lit
tie girl and have we'll provided for her
future. -Philadelphia Ledger.

Tho consulate of Costa RIGA in Phila-

The doings of ants are among the
most interesting things that naturalists
find to study. No membcrs of the insect
world present more startling suggestions
of intelligence and f~orethOught govern
ing their actions. 1t is not correct, how
ever, to explain the habits and conduct
Of ants by human analogies. For in
stance, it was once supposed that the SO
called ''parasol ants" living in hot,
tropical countries, carried little leaves
above their heads for the sake of protec-
ton from the sun. Later Investigations
have shown that the ants actually do
carry leaves, suspended by the stem
which they hold in their jaws, and that
columns of them thus furnished with
leaves like III army with banners march
in regular order, but that the leaves. in
stead of being intended to shelter the
ants from the sunshine, are deposited
by them around their nests to form Il
soil in which grows a kind Of fungus
that they are fond Of. So the parasol
ant is not Il dandy, but n farmer. -

There have been many larger things
than the interview between Mckinley
and his mother. burt nothing more for
chilly appealing to the best instincts Of
human nature. The Significance of it
goes beyond ordinary political inter
ests and involves considerations that
are at the very basis of society and civ
ilization. 1t emphasizes the glory OF
motherhood. the ~sacrednesS of a rela,
tion that surpasses all others in sound
and wholesome influence. We can well
afford to pause and reverently regard
such an incident. as a relief from much
that Is disagreeable in current affairs.
and as a reminder that our safety and
welfare lie mainly, after all, in the cul-
tivation of those virtues which belong
to the home. The lnN,hcr and her boy
stand for a great deal more han is rep
resented by any other Continuation in
the scheme of progress and the loei"
OF beneficent possibility. We hear much
about the new woman and the CTlnges
that she is going to effect in the gen.
eral nature of things; but the woman
OF most Importance is the one who as
serts herself according to those old
fashioned methods of sanity service
by which the stock of noble and useful
mon has always been recruited. The
mother of Mckinley is a shining eX>
ample in this respect: and her boy has
never appeared to better advantage
than in his haste to share with her the
pride and delight of his splendid vic
observation-disclosures
, 1896-11-10
A MOTHER AND HER BOY.

The country did not fail, of course.
to note the fact that Mckinley took
early occasion after the election to call
Upon his aged mother and receive her
congratulations. 1t was a gracious and
beautiful thing for him to do. the act
of an affectionate son and a man duly
mindful of flial obligation. We may
be ure that the dear old lady had
watched for his coming with great
eagerness. and that her manifestation
of JOY when he told her the good news
made the moment one of the happiest
OF his life. The scene is easy to mag
inc. 1t was simple. undoubtedly. and
very tender, eXultant in the best sense
and with an undertone of sadness that
a man receives in this world. The
mother did not, it is safe to say, look
upon her distinguished son with any
definite realization OF the measure OF
time between his youth and his matur,
ity. his past and his present. He was
still her boy. whatever he might be to
others. In all of the years since his
chi1dhOod, he had not grown out of her
recollections of the first word he spoke,
the first tooth he cut. the first step he
took. And so when he came to her
crowned with the highest success, she
saw in him only the being that she had
borne in her arms. and shielded with
her love. and helped with his lessons,
and SEN 10th to seek his fortune, fol,
lowed by her prayers and her never
failing solicitude.
It is well known that successful men,
as a rule, have been much indebted to
their mothers. The law of heredity
seems to favor transmission principal,
ly on the maternal side. and sterling
qualities of personal character can
usually be traced back to a feminine
source Moreover, we have abundant
evidence of the decisive advantages
gained from motherly care and train,

birth, because the love that she has for
him remains forever the same, and is
constantly repeating to itself The story
hat stops for her at the point where
he leaves home. Fortunate is the man
who, like Mckinley, has his mother
spared to see his success, which is also
her own, and to thank him fondly for
the credit he has done her. Garfield
had that fine experience, it will be re.
membered, and all hearts were touch
ed when he turned to salute his vener-
able mother after taking the oath as
president. Lincoln was not thus ia.
vored, but he cherished always the
memory Of the mother who had died
in the rude log cabin with the dirt floor
in the Indiana backwoods when he was
only 9 years old, and who had said to
him and his forlorn little sister as she
passed, BE good to IN another" He
often spoke of her with gratitude and
tenderness. God bless my mother"
he said on m occasion; "all that I am
or ever hope to be I owe to her."
