their progress in education. Mary
KEGS was the first American woman
TO take out patent, in 1S0S. 1t
was for weaving straw with silk or
thread AT this time girls received
hardly any education. During the
next quarter Of IA century only IF.
teen patents were taken out by
women. These included a globe
for teaching geography, a baby
jumper, a fountain pen, a deep-sea
telescope, and the first cookstove.
By 1884 women had a few more
educational privileges, but not
many, and in the next twenty-five
years women took out patents for
thirty.five inventions, By 1859
high schools were opened to women,
and the war was coming. The
high schools taught them TO use
their minds, and the war forced
them out into many new avenues
Of work. During the quarter Of a
century from 1859 10 1884 the
number Of inventions patened by
women rose 20 1903. Women
who took their husbands places
on the farms invented many inn
proved agricultural implements
especially at the West; women
went into the shoe.shops and at
once began to take out patents on
machinery; women nur3ed IN the
hospitals, and invented improved
bandages, canteens camp.beds, etc
Colleges, Sloyd, and manual train
ing are now developing the latent
inventiveness Of women, and dur
ing the twelve years from 1854 {,
1895 the latest date to which tn,
Patent Office reports have beer
published, women have taken on
1906 patents.
Some large and important in
ventions are due to women. Mrs

her husband was postmaster at
Oakland, Cal, invented a permu-

Rev. Ada c. Bowles gave an
interesting talk lately on "Women
as Inventors" the result Of twelve
years research, the substance Of
which is reprinted in The Woman's
Journal. She said that in China
silk-weaving was invented by the
wife of the fourth emperor, for
which divine honors arc still paid
TO her. japanese bronze work was
the invention Of a woman. In
India the weaving Of Cashmere
shawls was invented in the seclu.
sion Of the harem by a woman, who
also gave so wise consul TO the
prince, her husband, that he
changed her name from Nourmahal
Light of the Harem) to Nourjehan
Light Of the World, and had
coins struck bearing this title,
Altar Of roses was invented either

mother, the authorities differing on
this point.

How TO PREVENT Fermentation
are perhaps aware that pneumonia al
ways results from q cold or from an
attack of la grippe. During the cpl
demic of la grippe few years ago
when SO many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used. It counteracts any tendency
of cold or la grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. It is the best
remedy in the world for bad colds and
la grippe. Every bottle warranted.
