United States patents are granted
only to inventions previously unknown
though in England the mere intro
duction of new device is patentable.
If the United States examiners find
that an invention was known in ancient
Palmyra, for an example-even if the
inventor did not know it-he has no
right to patent in this country. In
an injunction case for infringing a
method of winding cotton yarn the
whole proceedings were brought to a n
end by showing that neither side had
a right to patent because the device
had been used long time previous by
the natives Of the Fiji Islands.

The Coffee Henri.

The largest part of the coffee grown
in the world is consumed in the United
States, and some of our life insurance
societies are beginning to realize how
its excessive use increases the risks of
life. It's effect is in shortening the
long beat of the heart, and medical ex-
aminers for insurance companies have
added the term coffee heart" to their
regular classification of the functional
arrangements of that organ. These
physicians advise that the use of cof-
fee be limited to not more than two
cups a day. Coffee topers. they say,
are plentiful sind are as much tied to
their cups 9s the whisky topper. The
effect of TIE coffee upon the heart is
mere lasting and consequently worse

Locked up in the mems tier of cells
at the police station in Wilmington, is
a tall colOred person who looks and
talks somewhat like a woman, and is
registered as "Lizzie Virginia Can
non." This peculiar person got into
trouble at the residenc of Jennie Girls
den colored one Saturday night and was
subsequently arrested by policeman
William Ward. When the prioner was
taken to the stationhouse the entry
''Lizzie Virginia Cannon" was made
on the official record. Capt. Kane
was suspicious of the prisoner, and
had an examination made by Assistant
Police Surgeon Weideman, who re-
ported that the prisoner was a man.
The police believe the prisoner
name is Garfield Cannon, formerly
of Smyrna and the Eastern Shore
of Maryland. ''Her" age is given as

Three Chicago children were sent
home by their teacher with a note that
they could not return until they had
been given a bath. The mother re-
sponded that she would not risk bath
ing her children in the winter. A test

cided that the authority of the school
room stopped at the threshold of the

give the children a bath at school as

The open air season of the year is
ushered in by Frank Leslie's Popular
NJ lnthly for May with thoroughly out

birds, beasts, fishes, tramps and other
out of door folk, and dedicated to sport
to nature, and to the JOY of living.
c.. G. D. Roberts leads off with "The
Lord of the Air." striking tale of an
eagle of the North, untamable, and
free as the air. Another kind of free
dom is taken up i'll the PHILOSOPHY of

one who is really a tramp, and not
merely a student of sociology, or a
newspaper man seeking copy.
An extraordinary account of what is
alleged to be the smallest race of
horses in the world, and the history of
Black Eagle, cowboy s pony, together
with "a Bit about Bass, a description
of the Whippet, the famous breed of
coursing dogs, and an article called
"Wild Bird Songs" which gives the
songs of many of our birds in musical
scores, round out the sporting features
of this number.
That most thrilling branch of fish
ing, or rather hunting. "SealIng off
the Banks, is described in dramatic
and fully illustrated article, and there
is also a sketch of Francis Wilson s
career by a well-known theatrical critic
illustrated by a very characteristic one
of the actor himself A startling story
of coward i'll the Boer " ar is as good
a piece of fiction as the South African
War has yet produced, and is enc of

Angeles, Cal.
The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs
Helen Campbell, we'll known in the liter

Economics"
Mrs. Campbell chose as her subject
ARTS and Crafts and Their Relation to
Household Economics"
An elderly woman OF a most winning
countenance and a charming repose of
manner. Mrs. Campbell held the delighted
attention OF her audience as she unfolded
her theme. In introducing her subject
she said:
81 have been asked why I have added
the word life 10 arts and crafts. There
are two forms of expression for men
the tongue and the hand.
The hand has superseded the old
fashioned way OF speaking OF the laborers
as men and women; all are called
hands not heads. We have lost sight
of the soul"
Continuing, Mrs. Campbell made a
strong plea Of the work of hand and brain
together. In the most refined and logical
language she dwelt upon the thought of
this need taking hold on the home and
child training and general education, and
working out into life as a whole. In
short. as she expressed IL, "a reconstruc-
tion or rather return OF the JOY and
happiness I'm work that belonged to the
arts and crafts OF the middle ages"
The same plea. the speaker declared,
was made long since by Ruskin and Nor
ris and now again in the thought OF the
new education.
Mrs. Campbell made "A most urgent plea
for the development of the arts and crafts
movement, believing that in the strength
Of this development lay the solution of

and unsatisfactory life of today.
