Last List of Trusts.

specified period. The daily news

The Oldest Patent.

The question as to the holder of the
oldest patent i'll this country has brought
out from the heirs of Joseph Jencks
some additional facts which tend TO
show that he was the first inventor In
this country. Patents granted from the
sovereign power of England for land,
water and other privileges We're not I'M
common i'll early colonial times. Joseph
Jencks of Lynn. Mass, a number of
years previous 70 receiving patent for
an invention of a scythe had been
granted one for IAN application of wa
ter power to mills Biographical notes
state that Mr.. Jencks introduced to the
Massachusetts colony the idea of patent
ing inventions, and that he might pro-
tect and introduce his ideas seems to
have been a reason for coming to the
new country. The grass scythe patented
i'll 1862 was perhaps the most valuable
of his inventions. The Improvement
over the old English scythe, with its
short, thick blade, like a bush scythe,
consisted in frightening the blade,
ma king it thinner and welding square
bar at the back and strengthening it.
Today this scythe, practically unchang-
ed, Is used in Europe and America. The
patent was withheld from Mr.. Jencks
for nine years, as it was Thought to be
too valuable to be monopolized.

Rossetti's Influence In Causing the
Artist TO Hyphenate His Name. Z
1t may or may not be true that it was
Rossetti who urged Burne-Jones, when
at the outset of his career, to connect
with hyphen "Burne" and "Jones, 1"
says William Sharp in The Atlantic.
IS Jones' is nobody" Rossetti would
declare. "only particle of a vast null
tiplel But urne-Jones-thati is unmis-
takablel"
1t was an amusing trait in Rossetti
that he was wont TO designate the good
work of this or that friend as the work
of-and he would mention the most
distinctive name or part name OF the
person concerned. Thus he would say,
Eyes, that is Burne-Jones, but this,
this here, you know, is only JONES'" or
THAT now is the real Holman Hunt,
but this here is only Hunt" or, 'You
can hear Tennyson in that, but Alfred
wrote the other lines. "
/ recall two amusing instances where
Burne-Jones more or less unconsclously
adopted the same method. He was asked
once if he thought William Bell Scott
more eminent as poet or as an artist.
Il never thought very highly of Bell,
he replied. Then, seeing look of sur
prise, added, with a humorous twinkle,
II liked old Bell Scott-old Scotus, as
we always called him-immensely, and
1 think William Bell Scott wrote some
very fine verse, but always thought it
was pity that Bell took to painting!'
The other instance occurred when
some one remarked to him that Par
nell was only an agitator. 'Charles
Stewart Parnell," he replied with en-
phasis, twas one of the greatest public
men of our day and far and away the
ablest Irish leader" "But Parnell,

"Going ont to See n Man."

"Going ont to see a man was the
invention of Artemus Ward. One night
in the winter of 1865, when the humor-
list was about half through his lecture,
he paralyZed his audience with the an
nouncement that they would have to
take a recess of 10 minutes so as to en-
able him 10 go across the street to ''see
a man" II. r. Tracey, the editor of
the Washington Republican, was in the
audience, and, seeing an opportunity to
improve upon the joke, penciled these
lines and sent them to the platform:
Dear Artemus-If you will place
yourself under my guidance, I'll take
you to see man without crossing the
street"
Artemus accepted the invitation, and
while the great audience impatiently
but with much amusement awaited the
temperance of the humorists the lat
ter was making the acquaintance of
at that time. and luxuriating at a well
laden refreshment board. OF course
every body ''caught ON to- the phrase,
and men became fond of getting up be-
tween the acts and "going out TO see
Aman." The restaurateur business
from that time forward doomed. Men
who would ordinarily sit quietly
through an entertainment and behave
themselves allowed themselves to be in
huenced by the contagion.
