RECENT INVENTIONS.

Ladies' hats can be safely packed in
new hat box which has central frame
OF woven spring wire the shape of the
inside of the hat, to prevent it from
sliding around in the box.
A new clothes wringer has the under
roller made with spiral grooves, which
run toward the center and draw the
clothes away from the ends of the roller
to prevent their getting creased in the
hearings.
TO protect the heads of boxers and
athletes a flexible helmet has been pat
ented in which inflatable pockets are
formed to shield the forehead, chin and
sides of the head to deaden the force of
a blow.
A western man has patented a handy
hat fastener consisting of two curved
pins set in opposite sides Of the crown
with rubber cords to keep them pulled
into their heads, the pins being pulled
down and allowed to work their way
into the hair.
Grain can be automatically fed to
horses at any desired hour by a new

Life In a Channel Island.


The land of Jersey is In the hands of a
frugal and industrious people, worthy de-
scendants Of the rural populations of Nor
mandy and Brittany. Not a square inch of
ground that does not produce a potato or
cabbage. Prosperity reigns on all sides.
Not one dilapidated house In this bee
hive Of an island everything speaks aloud
of cleanliness. comfort and even of riches
to those who can understand that real
wealth does not consist in the quantity of
the things we possess, but in those we can
do without. If need be. Jersey is a kitchen

governed by long-established custom and
usage.
