A Modern Solomon.

A pathetic little drama was recently
enacted in French court of justice.
A poor needlewoman was charged
with stealing two gold coins from her
employer Her defense was that,
while waiting in her employers house,
the child in her arms, unknown to
her, was attracted by the sight of the
glittering gold on the mantel shelf be-
hind her, and, leaning forward over
her shoulder, clutched the CONS in its
chubby fist, and had SO carried them
away. This she persstently and
solemnly stated on oath, says the
London Weekly Telegraph.
The court, however, was incredu-
lous, and reproved the mother for her
attempt to deceive him. But she as
serted her innocence with such pathe-
tic power that the sagacious judge de-
termined to test the truth of her state
ment. He babe her stand by his desk
with her child facing over her shoulder
in the way she had described. Then
he took several gold coins from his
pocket and placed them on the desk
within reach Of the child.
A breathless silence ensued. Every
one awaited the touching sequel.
Then suddenly the child's eye caught
sight of the cleaning gold, and, with
an eager smile, the tiny hand was out
stretched to the desk and the coins
were clutched in its tenacious grasp
The mother was promptly acquitted.

SWlNDLING PATENT ATTORNEYS
AND SALE AGENCIES.

Notwithstanding the hard times,
there is no decrease in the number of
patents granted to inventors, so call.
ed. Indeed, it appears that hard times
stimulate invention, or the effort to
make money in some magic and easy
way. Those who prey upon the
creduality Of inventors know this, and
they are, especially at this time, in
undating the rural districts with their
roseate circulars promising sudden
wealth in patents, and sending lists Of
'inventions wanted" There is no
species Of deceit that is more dis
honest, heartless and hurtful, than
these circulars of bogus patent at
torneys and patent sale agencies, for
they are Turing tens of thousands of
simple men and women from bread
winning toll to jack o'lantern pur-
suit of fortune, sure to end in loss, if
not ruin. Many of them are selling
farms, COWS, homes, and actually
stinting themselves in the common
comforts of life in order that they may
pay patent attorney who has pro-
missed them patent and wealth.
The attorney demands his fee in
advance, and, having got it, "the sub
sequent proceedings trouble him no
more"
The inventor rarely gets patent,
and, if he does get it, he will find that
it Is worthless. The rapacity of these
attorneys is not satisfied with the first
fee. They "work" the inventor FOL
all he is worth, and fatter him with
| glowing fictions about the value O
his invention, and send him a medal
which they say has been awarded hin
by Board of Experts. They assure
the inventor that fortune awaits him
if he will only advertise in their paper
which they claim to be the largest il
the world.
| In this and other ways, the naples
inventor is further robbed. He send
SIo or $40 more to the dishonest at
torney, or perhaps he will even SEM
him several hundred dollars 70
European patents, not knowing tina
his invention is not patentable, O
that if patent is granted him, 1t WI
be SO weak and flimsy as not to affor
him protection, andathat no one ac
quainted with the progress that ha
been made in this class of inventio
would have the patent as gift.
There is bill before Congress t

Coining Jokes.

This is a common and very legiti'
mate figure OF speech as applied to the
iabors of burlesqre writers and con
tributOrs to comic periodicals; but
there is an instance In which a joke
was actually coined, struck from a
craven die. and issued from legal
mint The fact Is historical, and is as
follows:
In the year 1879 the Danes advanced
with large force upon Hamburg, but
AFTER a siege Of considerable duration,
seeing little hope Of ultimate success,
they finally Withdrew and marched
back.
ThereupOn the Hamburgers caused a
medal to he struck In commemOration
OF the event. In one side of this nu.

t1gp:

Jubal's Call.

Jubal was sitting in his accustomed
place near the middle aisle. DR..
Hodges voluntary began thought
fully and smoothly, but in the course
of it significant phrase of two notes
was twice repeated. 1t was distinct
and yet so truly part Of the i'm
provisation that no stranger would
have noticed it at all.
The first time Jubars attention was
arrested the second, he turned and
looked up, but saw no sign. At the
third call he deliberately took up his
hat, left the pew, walked straight up
to his father and said:

Not on the Map.

In a certain New England town
there once lived wealthy but litter
ate man, who owned many sailing
vessels and followed their course over
the seas by the aid of an enormous
atlas. A neighbor who stopped on
one occasion to see him on a matter
of business, was ushered into the Ii
brary where he found the ship owner,
with his spectacles astrlde his nose,
poring over the atlas, which was
spread open on the table before him.
"I'm glad you've come in," SAID
he rising to grasp his guests hand
cordially, for there's little point
you may be able to help me about.
I've just had a letter from one of my
captains, and he tells me that he's
been in a fearful storm and didn't
know but what the vessel would go to
pieces.
Giles well-educated man, and
he uses first-rate language" said the
ship owner proudly. "I'll just read
you out the passage from his letter
that puzzles me. He says, 'The
waves rose like mountains, and the
storm ragged about us, while nothing
but the vivid lightning broke the
pitchy gloom. But although death
| seemed likely to be our portion, we
were saved driven before the wint
and put into great jeopardy, but still
here | am pen in hand"
Now what l want to know is
said the ship owner, as ne reioldee
the sheet from which he had read the
precious extract, and placed it careful
ly in his wallet, "what | want to
know is, where is Great Jeopardy
| know it's somewhere on the medl
terranean but | can't seem to find |
on this pesky map anywhere !-Ea

Curious UsSSmade Of Them by Thss
Owners IN the Cutlery Works.
A curious account Is given OF the uS

man and woman, takes a dog to tn,
grindlng-room in winter, and the four
footed heater stretches himself out up
on the back Of his master or mistress
for no other purpose than to keep hit
owner warm. The reason for this u
that instead Of occupying an upright O
seated position while at work, tn,
grinders, men and women, lie fiat OF
their stomachs upon planks, placet
nearly horizontally on scaffOlding
which rises above the grindstones. Or
the planks are sheepskins to relieve thu
hardness Of the wood and the heat
and shoulders Of the grinders projec
beyond the ends of the planks, ant
their arms reach down vertically to th,
rim of the grindstones, which are KEEP
In continual motion by the betting

extending his full length on the plank
soon becomes fatlgued and cnfeebled
and the cold gains on him, without any
power on his part to resist 1t. Wher
the chill strikes him, he whistles fol
his dog, which Immediately springs up
Oh the bench and lays himself upon thu

chant flag would be restored to fits old
prestige upon the seas.
Diminishing that simple and obvious
method Of gaining what we have lost
the Journal turns hopefully to the
project Of buying business, or, rather,
OF taxing business into existence. This
Is not surprising, when it comes from
one who believes that prosperity can
be created that way. It's proposition is
that, If we put into the tariff, according
to the recommendation Of Mr. Elkins
and others of his Sort discriminating
duty, offering rebate of say 10 per
cent in the customs duties on all goods
brought to this country in American
bottoms, we should presently transfer
the whole carrying trade Of this coun-
try to our own hands. This is, as we
have said, on par with the fat money
theory, if, indeed, it rises as high as
that in reasonabIeness. If prosperity
could be made that way and business
turned back and forth at the word Of
command, men would cease laboring
altogether and simply have their legls-
latures sit in perpetual session, max
ing people prosperous and happy day
and night by passing the necessary
laws. Of course, the practical results
OF such an act could be nothing more
or less than to utterly demoralize trade
for a time, until business had adjusted
itself to the new conditions, when we
should find ourselves losqrs.
The scheme leaves out Of the question
all other nations in the world except
ourselves. It is calmly assumed that
they will sit down quietly under a
tariff act that would put one Of their
largest interests at a disadvantage and
make no reprisals. 1t does not occur
to the able prosperity takers that this
is a game at which two can play It
would not be long before our exports
to the countries affected would be met
by similar tax on goods brought in
there in American bottoms. The re-
suit would be to cripple that branch Of
our foreign trade which we most desire
to build up, to check the exports of
farm products, and so to make the
poorest people of the country pay the
usual bonus to the capital that was
enticed into the ship building and car
rying trade; moral considerations
being for the time utterly over
ridden. 1t seems to US, however, that
communities like these, which have sUf-
fered so terribly at home from the at
tempt to build themselves up by locat-
ing establishments within their buUn-
diaries through the offer of cash bonus
es and land speculations, ought to be
able to see through an argument which
| is based upon greed, and a policy that
must run the same fatal course. Some
day the nation will settle down to it's
sober senses and quit trying to buy
prosperity by any scheme of legislation
whatever.
