Qressional committee, from this time

upon any previous committee. Mr.

charge OF the literary feature OF the
campaign entirely. In addition to
supplying the various congress
sional district committees with
literature, speeches and documents,
will also furnish the state central
committee in every state with cam
paign material. In the last campaign
the congressional committee confined
It's labor to about 100 congressional

Is now at work upon It.
THE MINT DEPARTMENT QUESTIONED.
WASHINGTON, July sa.-The mint
bureau Of the treasury is In receipt OF
daily growing mail from all sections
Of the country devoted to requests for
information on financial topics. The.
questions cover every conceivable
phase Of the currency question, and
inquirers are OF all shades Of political
belief, Most Of them want information
that can be easily furnished, such, for
instance, as the total amount OF
the coinage Of the last fiscal year, the
amount Of gold and silver In circula-
ton In the United States, the present
value Of different coins, ETC., but many
are Of more abstruse nature and
would tax the officials to answer them
properly. The bureau is doing all 1t
can to meet the demand upon 1t as an
educational institution, and Director
Preston says that he could easily dis
pose Of $4,000 copies Of the last annual
report Of his bureau II he had them
for distribution.

Fin Ideas With Inventors.

The number Of patents that have
been issued for various improvements
of the same thing Is astonishing. Gov
ering so small a thing as a wood
screw there are over 100 different pat
ents; In the class of lanterns nearly
1000 patents and for wash boilers
something like 500. Fol tobacco pipes
and m%outhpieces Ats patents have been
issued, and for bottle shoppers upward
of 600. These are among the simplest
devices; but coming to the more i'm
pOrtant classes there have been up to
the last year 6.O4S patents granted for
sewing machines and their various at
tachments; for firearms, not including
heavy ordnance, torpedo OF machine
guns, 1856 patents; for car couplings,
G,1S0, and for weaving and knitting
machines, 5,312. rOr agricultural m
plements, including planters, harvest
ers, threshers and the whole range OF
machines and appliances, the total
number of patents is 36,575, of which
lU,122 relate to plows alone. In the
class of electric lighting, 1916 patents
have been issued previous to the cur
rert fiscal year, and in that of a I
riageS and wagons the total number is
10000. These are fair illustrations.
In the line of toys there is an almost
endless array, including nearly 2oO toy
savings banks, some of which are eX-
! ceedingly ingenious and unique, and
dolls without number. Many of these
are among the most profitable patents

4 Novel Comb

A new kind of comb has been in
vented and is manufactured by NJ. j.
Renant of Paris. The comb itself is
made of wire, which is wound in
spirals around a brass guide. This
guide is extracted after the wire has
received it's shape, and the wire is then
introduced into a semi-circular holder,
which is fastened by strong pressure.
Many advantages are claimed for this
comb. 1t is soft, elastic and gives to a
certain extent; further, it takes from
the hair all the dust, dirt, dandruff
and all other foreign substances, and
the cleaning Of the comb Itself is easily
perfectly and rapidly done.

ArtichoISes for swine.

There is no crop probably regarding
which there is SO wide Il difference Of
opinion as ~artichokes. Some farmers
are emphatic in c%ondemning them as a
nuisance and others are just as pro-
nounced in the opinion that 1t will pay
well to grow them for swine. In some
parts Of Michigan, for instance, arti-
chokes are not only grown regularly
by swine breeders, but they go to the
trouble of digging and storing them for
winter use. Where the winters are
short they will most unquestionably be
more useful than where the ground Is
frozen during nearly half the year, for
as long as the ground is open the
swine can dig them for themselves.
Their food value Is considerable.
Pound for pound they are probably
worth as much as potatoes; Of course
when pigs are being fattened grain
must be added to the artichOkes. They
are more valuable for store pigs and
brood sows than for pigs that are be-
ing fattened, since the latter should
not have to labor for their food when
they are being finished for the market.
If planted in a damp, mucky soil they
produce very large crops, and 1t is
claimed that there is no difficulty in
| getting rid of them If they are allowed
to grow up to the height Of ten or
twelve inches, and are then plowed
under.

marvellous systematic manner in which
every detail Is ordered.
\ It is a rule of the "F. O." (as its
habitues term it, that not a scrap OF
paper of the slightest Importance shail
ever be destroyed. Everything Is
sorted on its arrival and put in It's
proper place. Lord Salisbury or Mr..
Chamberlain can obtain at a moments
notice any document dealing with any
question written in the last two hum
bred years. This system naturally ne
cessitates an army of clerks. Every
year additions are made to the stan
by public competition, and as the sal
aries are the best in the civil service,
the brightest and most capable men
In the country are attracted into the
service of the "F. o."
The rewards for capable and bril-
liant service are very generous. A
man showing unusual capacity is never
allowed to stay long unmarked. Such
a nan as Lord Dufferin, who rose from
a subordinate position, is bound, sooner
or later, to receive one of the big prizes
of the diplomatic service. The salary
of the ambassador to France is t9,OO0;
Austria, $4,000; Germany, f7,50O; Tur-
key, s 5000; Russia, 1880. There are
over nine hundred consular agents all
over the world, who receive large sal
aries, and the number Of attaches at
the various legations is legion.
A number of clerks are engaged fer
the special purpose of arranging the
ciphers used in dispatches. No mes
sage of Importance is sent in ordinary
terms, and the same cipher is rarely
used twice, the chances of news leak
ing out thereby being reduced to a
minimum.
