INVENTIONS OF WOMEN.
Patents That GiUe Comfort to Man

IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The woman inventor IS
broadening her field Of labor. Under the custody
OF Mr.. Sullivan, Of the Patent Office are books
compiled by the government Of the N yentions Of
women dating back to 1890. Their line of thought
and sphere OF knowledge can easily be traced from
that year to the present expensive views Of the
woman.
The Colonial dame confined her improvements and
discoveries to her wardrobe and kitchen. There
Were also jumpers and soothing syrups for the
baby and dainty perfumes and recipes. She would
have shrunk in alarm from the descendants who
have constructed electrical apparatus railway ap-
planes and farming implements.
For so the woman OF the last few years has done,
OF course, the additions to her domestic comforts
have not been abandoned The lists of culinary
utensils and wearing apparel decidedly the
longest in the latest book issued. but a study Of
the headlines OF the many columns shows di-
versity of subjects and a not stinted list OF in
ventors under each.

A SONG OF HARVEST.

o Painter Of the fruits and flowers!
We thank thee for thy wise design
Whereby these human hands OF ours
In Natures garden work with thine
And thanks that from our daily need
The JOY of simple faith is born;
That he who Sntes the summer weed
May trust thee for the autumn corn
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power;
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fau:
Who sows a field, or trains flower,
Or plants a tree is more than all
For he who bIesses most IS blest;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as MS bequeSt
An added beauty 10 the earth
And soon or late. to all that sow
The time of harvest shall be given
The flower shall bloom. the fruit shall grow
If not on earth, at least in heaven.
John Greenleaf Whittier.

The parade of the Norris & Rowe new
and greater shows this season promises
to be an event of more than ordinary in
terest. The Shows have grown go enor.
mously that the army of acrobats, tum-
blers, clowns, gymnasts, athletes, equii-
ibrists and riders. combined with the
congress OF ma, velously trained animals,
makes almost city in itself under the
enormous new tenls which houses this
really wonderful organization known as
the New Norris & Rowe Greater Shows.
The costumes for this parade were made
especially for it aud We are assured tnat
no other attraction has ever gone to SO
great an expense in this matter, however
it is simply a matter of pei sonal pride
with Norris & Rowe to have the best and
most expensive street display ever ex-
hibited in this section. Dozens of new
wagons -spic, span, Lew, and in all the
brilliancy of red and gold paint dozens
OF rare and wild beasts, elephants, tigers,
lions, tapirs, etc. Hundred OF educated
ponies and horses in ali the glory of gay
trappings, make veritable feast of color
for the eye and spectacular parade
which will be long remembered as one
of the best features of the modern big
circus. Norris 4 Rowe will exhibit here

New York, March 2.-The con-
tinued cold weather made the fur
bargain sales seem unusually attrac-
tive, and from now until the weather
is so hot that an extra wrap will be
an impossibility it is safe to predict
that fur coats and wraps of all kinds
will be in demand.
When the fashion was introduced
last autumn of the short pieces of fur
to be worn as a sort of necktie it was
not supposed that there would be a
winter cold enough to make it pos
sible@ to wear these ties in addition to
a fur jacket, but now with all the fur
coats these short ties of ermine and
sable, otter or moleskin are to be
seen, while with the long coats the
longer stoles are a necessity.
So smart and effective are many of
the newest fur jackets it seems hard
ly credible that they are made over
from last years, and yet some of the
very smartest, both in moleskin and
in baby lamb, certainly made their
appearance last year. The full sleeves,
| partly satin and partly fur, and the
trimmings of satin and velvet on the
fur, are, of course, quite a new style,
and yet one that has proved most

successful in remodeling a last years
fashion. Al lof which goes to prove
that a fur coat, even at this late date,
is a good investment.
The entire costumes of moleskin or
baby lamb are too expensive for the
majority of women to indulge in, and
yet there is nothing SO smart as the
three-quarter length coat and the
short flaring skirt, made up of either
of the baby lamb or the moleslxin.
The latter, however, is too delicat tie
to make UP SO satisfactorily in the
close fitting style and consequently is
seen more often in the loose coat or
blouse, while the former is so cut that
it defines the figure as clearly as a
cloth coat of the same style.
Long fiat stoles of fur have CON
