so had he been shrewd buS ness I'm.
Being merely an inventor. he hadn Z
sense enough TO keep his idea to hin-
self until the patent Office paddock had
secured it against theft. In the inno-
cence of his nature the inventor con-

Another man is known to-day as the
inventor of the lace hooks. He owns a
splendid house, and is wealthy. The
confding inventor got nothing.
The inventor of q patent stopper for
beer bottles, something that had hong
been wanted by the trade, sold the in
vention for s10,e to a man who rec.
egrized its great money-making value.
The purchaser il now worth s., o00, GOO

the value of the patent rights on this
bottle stopper, it may bs said that whe n
the patent expired and others began
selling tho stopper, the price came down
from one dollar to six and seven eert q

duction goodprofit could be made.
This hst inventor was treated with
princely generosity. however. in com

a pocketbook clasp In the shape of In
tarlocking horns with balls at the end
that snapped shut with a slight pres

to gloves, and became very much in

1.-The Kafirs Of South Africa are in
9aany ways q remarkable people, blu,
perhaps the most singular thing about
them is their mode of smoking. and es.
pscially their pipes. The ordinary Kali,
pipe is q sufficiently formidable affair
1t is almost az big and heavy as the
"kneh kerry" or war club, which i,
often considerably resembles in form;

scr1ption, and every KaftiT must smoke

poorest man smokes the biggest pipe

awhile for the mud to harden. He

lots of time; and 1t isn't necessary 20
wait long. for the hot tropical sun
bakes the clay very quickly. When b,
considers that the pie is done to 6

The White Mountains In Winter.

The enjoyment of the White
mountains seems to be confined,
with slight exceptions, to three or
four months in the summer and ear
ly autumn, but our White hills are
equally interesting in the winter,
when they are white in fact as well
as in name, and the day is coming,
let US hope soon, when the beauties
of the mountains will be as fully ap.
preoiated under the winter solstice
as under the summer sun. If people
could only be made to realize that,
even though the thermometer does
sometimes run far below zero, the
east wind and its penetrating chill
gre not present; if city folks could
only appreciate how easy it is to
learn to walk on snowshoes, and
what invigorating exercise it is; il
they would stop to consider how
many clearer days there are in win
ter than in summer, they would per-
haps be more willing to forego some
of their numerous social engage
ments and breathe the pure air of
the mountains for week or two in
January ard February.-Boston Ga
