The edelweiss is an extremely easy
plant to raise from seed and should be
treated as an annual. The seed can be
obtained readily for few pence from
any respectable nurseryman. 1t is. how

with any success. Sometimes the edel-
weiss. when torn from its native noun
tain and set out in a garden, will have
sufficient life in it to flower and then
pine away and die. This is the almost
invariable result of these attempted
transplantations.
1t may be added that edelweiss, when
grown on anything like the sea level,
or, in fact, anywhere away from home,
entirely loses its distinctive character
and becomes worthless as a garden

4 rysw Men of Genius Reap the Benefit Of
\ Their Ingenuity.
H Just why inventive genius and guilt
bility should go together it is hard to
say. Certain it is that inventors are the
most. guileless individuals in their deal
| ipgs,wifh others on business matters
and fall easy victims TO the spiders who
lie in wax for such flies. The list of
CLEVER men who walk today while those
who ride,owe their luxury to the other
mars genius and their own shrewdness
ia an interesting one Here are few
cases picked haphazard from the chron-
icie cd, inventions that failed to benefit
the inventor, Or, at least, produced for
him a Little OF what was his due.
It is not necessary to be very old to
remember when hooks were first put in
mems shoes in place Of holes in order I'd
save time in lacing the shoe at the top
This was the brilliant idea of an invent
or to whom 1T should have brought
fortune. 1t would have done SO had he
been shrewd business man. Being
merely an inventor, ne hadn't sense
enough to keep his idea to himself until
the patent Office paddock had secured it
against theft In the innocence of his
nature tho inventor confided the idea to
friend while crossing the North river
ferryboat, and the friend hardly waited
for the boat to tie up in Jersey City be-
fore he excused himself. started back to
New York and went OH Q dead run for
o patent lawyer in order to have the
idea secured for his own especial bene-
fit. Another man is known today as the
inventor Ct the lace hooks. He owns q
splendid house and is wealthy. The
confiding inventor got nothing.
The inventor of q patent stopper for
beer bottles, something that had long
been wanted by the trade, sold the in
vention for $4,000 to man who recog-
nized it's money making value. The
purchaser is now worth So, 900, 900, all
of which he made from tho patent stop
per. Out of the goodness of his heart he
presented the original owner of the
patent with $50, 900, SO that this man
got $40, 900 in all for his So, 900, 900
idea. To give some notion Of the value

the price camo down from 81 to and
cents a gross and even at this enormous
reduction a good profit can be made.
This last inventor was treated with |
princely generosity. however, in COM
parison with the genius who devised a
pocketbook clasp in the shape Of inter !
locking horns with balls at the end |
which snapped shut with single pres
sure. The idea was afterward applied to |
gloves and became very much in favor.
The inventor relinquished his prize for
the magnificent reward Of a kidney stew
dinner and 90 cents, the latter having
been advanced by the purchaser to pay
the inventors expense from Newark to
New York. The man who secured the
idea and patented it after treating tho
inventor in the royal manner mentioned
made big fortune by his shrewdness

known. -Exohange.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gather, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced 1t incurable. Science
has prLven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitution
al treatment Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
