try. They are placed in shop windows
for the purpose of attracting attention
For use in vanishing woods quickly
a new machine has a number of brushes

manner as to engage the varnish feeder
on one side and the surface to b. var

A Kansas man has been granted a
patent on device for fastening houses
together and holding them on their
foundations which is simply series of
rods fastened to opposite sides OF the
house and to the foundation walls and
roof. and frightened by means of turn
buckles, the idea being to prevent
houses from blowing away in cyclones.
A handy device to prevent ladies'
skirts from sagging, recently patented,
consists Of belt having an extra thick
ness of fabric at the back, 10 Which
number ot hooks are attached, the eyes
being sewed on the skirt-band. The
hooks arc first snapped into the eyes
and the belt is then buckled around the
waist. thus holding the skirt firm.
A newly-patented corn-husking ma
chine consists of two revolving husk-
ing rollers. having fiuted edges, be-
tween which the ear of corn is forced.
the rollers separating wide enough to
receive the ear, which is given twist
ing motion by another roller. the rough
edges of the husking rollers catching
the husks as the ear passes between
them.
A recently patented device for operat-
ing fan has two handles so arranged
that pressing them together turns
system of wheels and rapidly revolves
fosr fan blades attached to the axle OF
the last wheel in the series. The device
is small enough to be carried around in
the hand and the breeze" can be di-
rected at will by simply turning the
device in the hand.
The latest clothes-dryer has fire
escape combined with it, the central part
consisting OF ladder, the bars ex-
tending horizontally from it, being ar
ranged so as to swing around to the
steps, so the clothes can be hung there
on. The central posts are so arranged
as to connect the different floors of
building. thus allowing the person TO
pass down the ladder from top to bot
tom.

success that was hoped for by the au-
thorities at Washington. The wide
spread criticism on account of the left
handed Goddess of Liberty that was
directed against the 81 certificate when
IT made its appearance has been fol-
lowed by more serious objections to all
the certificates on the part OF bank
cashiers and others whose business re-

quantities The great objection is that
the different denominations of the new
certificates are not nearly so readily
