WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
History of the Progress of the Inventive
Faculty Among Them.

The United States patent office
records give some interesting informa-
tion in regard to the progress of the
inventive faculty among American
women. The office was established in
1890, but it was nearly 20 years before a
patent was issued to a woman. The
first was in 1909. This was issued for
a method of weaving straw with silk or
thread. In 1926 there were IA patents
issued to women, a larger number by
far than had been issued any previous
year. 1t is singular to note that the
feminine genius for invention ap-
peared to slumber from that time, un-
til il was suddenly aroused by the
great war. Many Of the women's pat
ents that then poured into the patent
Office were for implements and ma
tcrials of war and for hospital appli,
nnces and sick-room devices. From the
Cos the number of women patentees
steadily increased. In 1870 it was 60;
in 1880, over 90; in 1890, over 200, and in
1898 over 300. From 1869 to 1888 women's
inventions averaged 30 a year. From
1888 to 1892, 230 year; and since 1892
$50 year. OF the subject of these in
vcntions, wearing apparel heads the
list, with 100 different patents in two
years and half. Next come cooking
utensils, with 100 inventions; fur
niture, IS; heating or washing oil
cleansing apparatus, more than Al
each; sewing and spinning devices ant
building apparatus, about 30 each; ant
educational and surgical apparatus
toys and trunks, about 20 each. Othe
lines in which women have tried thei
inventive genius are preambulators
barrel and bicycle attachments, print
ing and bottling apparatus, boxes ant
baskets, clocks horseshoes, mo
tors, musical instruments, plumbing
and preserving devices, screens, sta
tionery, theatrical apparatus, toile
articles and typewriter attachments
Most of the patents were for improve
ments on some previously existing de
vice.

CALIFORNIA; ONLY PRIVATE.
Served Through the War In Command OF
the Gun Ho Carried.

the Gun Ho Carried.
Among the countless numbers of men
who have served in the civil war and
now revel in military titles of oil de-
scription it is refreshing to meet with
man who will plainly tell you that
his name is "Mr.," and that he served
from beginning to end of the bloody
campaign as n full-blown private. OF
that description is John j. Scrivner, the
well-known San Francisco attorney,
When the war broke out Mr.. Scrivner
enlisted in the confederate service, and
went through the entire war, laying
down his arms at it's close with the hum
bic rank of private that was assigned
to him on cnlisting. He now enjoys the
reputation among his fellows of being
the only man that has yet been dis
covered in the state of California who
served Throughout! the war and yet pos
sesses no gorgeous appendage to bis
name. 1t used to be customary in the
south, when veteran met veteran for
some title to pass between the two.
Well, Scrivner was opposed to this
principle and was fortunate enough to
escape involuntary dignity until one
memorable occasion, not long ago, when
he was conducting a case up in Butte
county. The legal luminaries of the dis
trict showed him some hospitality,
"and," as he afterwards expressed it,
| in relating the circumstance to Judge
Hunt, "one day / was introduced to a
southerner by an idiot who said, Mr..
So and So, this is Maj. Scrivner.'
81 felt mad, but had no time to rep
rimand my introducer, nor to explain
matters. In an instant found myself
shaking hands with the southerner,
who eyed me narrowly.
"'You served in the confederate army,
nlajor?' he asked.
''I did, replied.
"I was in the confederate army my
self, sir returned the southerner, and
I'm pretty well up in the army list
What branch of the service were you
attached to?'
1.-The artillery I replied, longing
that he would give me chance to ex-
plain. But he kept right on.
"'Under what general, sir, may I
ask?'
"'Under Gen. Gordon BY this time I
! WAS leellnS mlSnly uncomroruaDle, nS
my southern friend was bent on draw
ing me out.
Major he said, I'm pretty familiar
with the names of all the leading artil-
lery officers in the confederate service
during the wah. May 1 ask you, sir,
how many guns were under your COM
nand"
Il assure you, judge, never felt so
mad in my life. Here was I, a man who
always avoided notoriety, who served
his time in the war and did his duty
without ostentation, who never sought
a military title but always scared off
my friends from addressing me by one
and yet, owing to my bungling, good
natured friend, being catechised by an
entire stranger upon title never as
sumed! However. 1 was bridled up
and looking my cateehiser full in the
eye. said
"'Guns be hanged, sir! I served

nland of one gun, and that 1 carried over

soon be reached, and jewels will be
worn in ways never before thought of.
Like every other fashion which origi-
mates in Paris, the fad of wearing dia-
mond backed gloves has crossed the
English channel and few of the more
daring English leaders of fashion have
promptly had jewels set in thu backs of
their gloves. Following the invaria-
BILE order of such things, the fad will
reach this country during the present
season.
American girls will doubtless CON-
bine this fad with the other one of
wearing the stones appropriate to the
month of their birth. Then those WHO
believe in planetary influence upon the
human disposition will have only to
glance at the glove to know the charac-
ter of the girl

Good WAY to Test Linen.

A way to test linen, by means of
which the introduction of cotton
among the linen threads may be de-
tected, is to cut off a small piece of the
material, to unravel the threads and
then to examine them under strong
magnifying glass. The characteristics
of tiaxthreads are very marked. They
are in the form of cylindrical stalks
divided at intervals by knots, in the
same way as bamboo or sugar cane
stalks. Cotton threads are long anc
flattened like ribbon, waved, twisted ir
splrals and granulated on the surface.

A Rominiscence OF tho Hot Battle of

A Rominiscence OF tho Hot Battle of
Winchester.
1t was n wild night on the mountain.
The rebels were close on our heels, but
on we went to the Potomac, and next
day waded and swan through it at Han
cock-now reduced to less than $500
men. For three days and nights, fight
ing and marching, too, we were almost
dead on our feet when we crossed the
river.
Were you ever on a sl1edaddle, skally-
hoche or stampede? 1t demoralizes the
nerves unspeakably, and one wonders
long after it is over how he acted in
it anyway, fearful that he may have
done something disgraceful to. his col
ors. l remember in the dense darkness
on the mountains the night before we
crossed the river, with the enemy press
ing closely below and an occasional
volley of muskets or carbines told
where they were lurking, some fellows
horse threw him, and the frightened
animal came tearing down the declivity
like mad right through our ranks; men
broke right and left, some climbed up
trees and others ran off in the darkness
and were never seen again, and we all
thought regiment of southern cavalry
was upon us. The tension was too much
for strained and tired nerve and brain,
and "one could have chased a thou
sand and two put ten thousand" to flight
if there had been that many of us. Hur-
CRY, sleepy, worn out, we reached the
other river shore like half-drowned rats
that night and set about looting every
house in Hancock, Md, for something
TO eat. Discipline and order to the
