A Notable Woman.

When Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
eleven years cid her only brother died.
Although his daughters were dear to
him, Judge Cady had greater feeling
of pride and hope in his boy. AS he sat
by his dead, little Elizabeth crept into
the room end getting up on his knee,
laid her head against his beating heart
and waited till he spoke. Presently he
said, ooh, my daughter, wish you were
boy p Throwing her arms around his
neck she said, II will try to do all my
brother did,
And she kept her word she studied,
she won prizes in Greek, and stood at
the head Of her classes in the Academy,
expecting to fill her brothers place in
her fathers heart
The father, watching her, at last told
her that she should have been boy,
thinking that would be compliment e.
nough. Then it was that she realized
that the world at that day did not look
upon talent or merit of itself, but asked
whether it was found in boy or girl,
and she rebeled at that injustice, and
has never ceased doing so.
Until she was fifteen she was faith
full student at the Academy, being the
only girl in class of boys in languages
and mathematics. She spent many Of
her leisure hours in her fathers Office,
and here she used to hear the old Scotch
women narrate their woes; for their
husbands had brought from the old
world the feudal ideas of women and
property. She used to beg her father
to help them, and he would take down
the book and show her the laws The
students in the Office, seeing her discom.
tort, would point out the worst OF these
laws, till she would cry of modification
and grief.
She began reading these laws for her.
self, marking each one as she read, and
thus increased her adherence Of their
injustice. Her father told her that
when she was grown up she could go
down to Albany, tell the legislators
about the suherings of these Scotch
women, get them to pass new laws, and
then these would be dead. He told
her this as he would have told fairy
tale; and yet he foreshadowed the dream
of her life and outlined that which to
her, later, seemed her line of duty.
Many years after, when his fairy tale
had become real truth, he was the
greatest opposer to her public career.
Many women can stand for principal
when the men of the family help to hold
up their hands, but few have bravery
enough to fight out the principle in
their own homes. From "Notable
Women," IN Demorest's Magazine for
April.

Prizes on Patents.
How to get $|OO and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer a
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first Of every month to the person who
submits to US the most merltorious invention
during the preceding mouth We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder,a weekly newspaper, pub
ished in Washington, D. O., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests Of in.
ventors.
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult ;
this deuson 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. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to Inn fortune. Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, ,hesnow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply fora patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor wi u hav
