THE LATEST PATENTS.

A handy paper file consists of a box with one hinged end and two hinged sides. The. end section has a file hook fastened to it, which runs lengthwise through the box. By opening the sides the end falls down, thus bringing the hook into an upright position.
 Umbrellas can be fastened to the body by a new device weighing but 31h ounces. It has a wire support for the umbrella handle and is fastened to the body by two straps, one passing over the shoulder and the other around the waist, thus leaving both hands free.
 Housekeepers will appreciate a new garbage receptacle, which consists of a metal box with the lid hinged so that slight pressure with the hand or dish to be emptied forces it out of the way. There is an opening in the bottom to remove the garbage without lifting the can.
 A handy device for druggists consists of number of upright tubes of differ ent sizes, fastened to the inside of a cabinet door, in which corks can be placed, the lower ends of the tubes be- ing contracted sufficiently to hold the corks in and yet allow their removal with ease.
 A device to prevent overshoes from slipping down at the heel consists of a plate having two eyes fastened to the shoe upper near the heel and U- shaped piece of steel wire fastened to the top of the rubber. The ends of the wire are intended to be sprung into the eyes in the plate.

A SURE THING.
The Beet Crop is Free From Many
 Drawbacks.

The Chino Valley Champion thinks ''the sugar beet is the crop to tie to-" In view of the many different kinds of bugs and slugs which are all special ists in their particular line of destruc- tion, it is relief to hear of a crop that is not suffering much from some spec ialists in the bug kingdom. The Cham piOn says:
 'The beet crop has it's enemies, to be sure, but they are not, as a rule, as devastating or numerous as those of many other crops. And, moreover, frosts do not affect the plantsand when frosty nights of the early spring come and the fruit grower is trembling for his crop, the beet grower feels perfect ly secure. Drouth during the early years of the industry was a thing to dread; now, however it is known that with moisture in the soil sufficient to germinate the seed and start the plants they will take care of themselves, so far as moisture is concerned.
 ''The farmer will look in vain for a crop absolutely free from any dangers; but, all in all, we know of no field or orchard crop that is as free from casu- alties as the sugar beet, or upon which the farmer can depend with as much assurance for some returns-if not full crop. He is rarely left with nothing to show for his work"

Wheelmen will appreciate recently patented lamp bracket. It consists of two metal sections fastened together by screw clamp, one end of each sec tion being curved to clamp the head of the machine, and the oppisite V-shaped to clamp the fork, thus allowing it's use either high or low on the frame
 To prevent low water in boilers a Pittsburg man places float inside the boiler, connecting it with valve in the feed water pipe. As the water low CTS the float drops and opens the valve allowing the water to flow in, and at the same time opening steam valve, thus giving an alarm to the engineer.

A man with bundle under his arm made
his way to the gas and Oil stove counter in

There's only one longer size in stock, "
she replied. land it's only two feet longer.
What did you have TO pay for this?'
Seven cents foot
well, it's two cents cheaper now. We
reduced the price this morning."
Then twelve-foot piece would be only
sixty centj?"
Yes, SIR"
We'll ought to pay the ten cents differ

That's all right Just take It to the ex-
change department on the next floor and

The customer followed directions.

What did you pay for it?' she asked.
Seventy cents; but i bought 1t last

But this calls for seventy cents, and I'm

He took it back.
The sales girl at the gas pipe counter

out a regular sale ticket for sixty cents
and sent the tive slips Of paper to the
cashier.

WHERE'S CRUSOE'S ISLE.
English Expedition Going Out To Find
Ii In the Atlantic.

II
From the New York Press.
We have had, in the last five years, a
re cru iescence of Columbus, of Napoleon
and things Napoleon!c; now, it appears,
there may be an infection of Robinson
Crusoe. A learned society of London. Eng
lard, has come to the conclusion that read
ers of De Foes charming fiction have all
along been misled as TO the island on which
their hero was landed when he expert
enced sbipwreck.
Ii has been hitherto assumed, much to
De Foes discredit, that he stole Tor "ap-
prof. riated'D the story of one Alexander
Selkirk, who passed several years on the
Island of Juan Fernandez, in the Pacific
ocean. But members of this society de-
clare they have discovered that the novel;
list did Lot steal his narrative at all; and,
NC recover, that the island where the orig
iEal Robinson was wrecked lies, not in the
Pacific, but IN the Atlantic. They are GO
ing TO send out an expedition next winter
as soon as the sickly season closes, 10 as
certain beyond all peradyenture just where
this island is located.
In the interest of all true narratives (of
fiction) and for the benefit of all lovers OF
Crusoe, Ii Is to he hoped that their mis-
sion will be a success.
The true island, they say, is situated
somewhere off the north coast of South
America, not far distant from the mouth
of the Orinoco: for Crusoe himself says in
His journal that the last recorded obser-
