Investing Your Savings.
Industrial Investments. -

While the Patent Office is a very prof

partments that pay profit, 1t is an ex-
ceedingly more profitable institution for
the patent attorneys who cluster like
flies around 1t in Washington or main

there can be no criticism for the high
class men who honestly seek to foster
the genius of their clients and turn 1t
into profitable channels.
But, as in every other sphere, there is
set OF constituencies vampires who are not
only Turing hard-earned money away from
brilliant men-for 1t happens that most
inventions are evolved by those who can
Ill afford to have them patented-but
also sometimes hating them on the thresh-
old of "A bright future Prospectus of
these concerns base their lure on the very
reasonable and we'll known fact that
there are fortunes In the smallest of in
ventions, and they therefore set young
men to work ON fields that are over
crowded.
The inventor, however ridiculous his de-
vice, who falls into the hands of these
backleg attorneys, Instead OF getting a
straightforward opinion on the PRIME

in character to be placed on the market
The happy inventor may see with Joy
it develop into an "industrial' under
the manipulation of a shrewd coterie Of
promoters. Then his brain-child becomes
a lure for the savings of the general
public by the cry, like to Colonel Sellers
there's millions In it,
1t is easy for the general run of small
investors to catch the enthusiasm of the
inventor, aided by the plausible pros
pectus of the promoters. AT the present
time, thousands, ny. hundreds of thou
sands of small investors, are investing
their savings In something better than

Let these investors realize that they
are capltalizing a theory. Investigation,
cold and searching, will prove that few

lematical as moneymakers.
1t is plain that If they could win out
brilliantly In practical test, there would
be small opportunity for the small in
weston to get in ION the ground floor"
The foregoing is no attack on American
inventions for their horizon Is without
limit, but on the class of ludicrous lures
that are falsely labelled industrial in

than the inventors model and the pro-
moter's bank account.

Summer Dishes.

Pressed Chicken.-Cover a young
fowl, cut in joints, with boiling water,
and let simmer until tender, together
with few slices of carrot, half an onion,
and stalk of celery. Remove the skin
and bones. and return them with the
broth to the fire, and let simmer until
reduced to about one cup; strain and set
aside. When the flesh is nearly cold, cut
into tiny cubes, or chop fine; remove the
fat from the broth, reheat, and stir the
chicken into it, adding salt and pepper
and other seasoning as desired. Decorate
a mold with slices of hard-boiled egg;
in this pack the hot chicken, cover with
a buttered paper bearing a weight, and
let stand until cold and set. Serve, sliced
thin, with salad.
Steamed Fowl With Rice and
MushrOOms.-Truss a fowl for boiling,
rub with the cut side of lemon and
lay on slices of salt-pork or bacon and
steam with an onion and two or three
stalks Of celery until tender-three
hours or longer. Have ready a mound
of boiled rice, seasoned with butter and
salt, and dispose the fowl upon this.
Arrange mushrooms cooked in the usual
manner about the rice. Serve with the
strained chicken liquor, thickened with
-four and enriched with two egg yolks,
beaten With half 0 cupful Of cream.

Gowns and Wraps for Midsummer Wear.

The charming little mantles worn with
gowns, and that complete the costume
so perfectly, are very much in vogue
this summer. AS dress lingerie waists are
made rather formally this season, they
give an especial charm to these lovely
mantles when they are put aside.
One particularly attractive louisine silk
costume In this style recently seen was of
a soft gray figured in white. The skirt
was trimmed with three inset pipings of
white satin in a line group which crossed
the skirt like band, n few inches above
the bottom. The chic mantle matched the
skirt and was draped in to the figure over
closely fitted foundation of white silk
marceline. The drapery crossed In front
leaving n "V'' space filled in by the lace
and lawn Of the lingerie blouse. The back
was finished with the same crossed drap-
cry, which formed the sleeves, the drap-
cry being drawn closely to the belt at the
crossing.
A gown intended for summer evening
wear was made of embroidered Swiss,
with groups of tucks upon the skirt in
graduated cross rows. Counting from the
top down, two ruffies of the embroidered
Swiss trim the second and third rows, the
lower ruf1e being wider than the one

How to Hang Pictures.
BY BEATRICE CAREY.

While the average householder may ad-
NIT, under pressure, that a professional
decorator Is necessary for the proper in
terror decoration of the house, a very
few will acknowledge that they do not
know how to hang pictures. The result
is that one Is often confronted with pic
lures arranged on a wall In steps, begin
ming up high near one corner, and ascend
ing to about three feet from the floor,
leaving a jumping-off place there, or else
arranged to suggest geometrical designs
of some sort.
If a decorator can be afforded, put the
pictures in his hands, and leave the rest
of it to him. Do not attempt to do 1t
yourself for a picture badly placed on
wall may throw the entire decorative
scheme of the room out Of line, and
what would otherwise have been sue
cess is converted into rank failure.
However, If a skilled decorator Is out
of reach of your purse, and you have to
do this work for yourself. there are sev-
eral important considerations to be borne
in mind. Firstly, there is the selection
of the pictures. If they have already
been collected, 1t should be a sort of
wedding out process. Be sure to avoid
those which are hackneyed, though they
may possess undeniable artistic merit,
still 1t is better to choose those which
are not seen on every side.
AS to the frames, great care should De
taken to have these harmonize with the

Small Things.

Much is said nowadays about the I'm
portance Of small things of certain
kind Their place in the scheme Of things
may be brought more clearly to mind
after hearing the experience of one
woman who wanted a very small thing
from a local jeweller. The lady In ques-
tion had a silver belt buckle of which
she was very fond, and which had been
bought In a city far from here and sent
TO her as gift. The buckle itself could
be quickly changed from one belt to an
other, but the little hook that was fast
ened to the other end was not so easily
managed. 1t was a tedious task and re-
quired considerable time to take 1t from
one ribbon and mount 1t securely on an
other and as the lady wished to wear
the buckle on more than one ribbon, the
delay necessitated by changing the hook
wore on her spirits. So she wandered
forth in search of some more hooks like
the one she already had.
But was she joyfully received by the
Jewelry stores? On the contrary, they
seemed to think that such a small matter
as n belt hook was quite beneath their
notice. Looking at the buckle, they In
variably asked, did you get 1t from usf'
and when 1t was explained In faltering
and abashed words-for their distant and
frigid manner distressed her gentle soul
that it had been sent from far away the
clerk would hand 1t back with "Oh, no,
we couldn't get any more of them unless
we knew exactly who made 1t and all
about it." And all this about a piece of
silver wire a man could twist into shape
with pincers in a few minutes. And 80
II went from store To store.
At length hot and tired, and growing
desperate, the lady went into the finest
and most exclusive store in town, and
told her tale to an attentive young man
for about the tenth time that day. Judge
her feelings, then, when, instead Of being
rebufred as before, she heard, "Why, of
course we can get you one. Maybe 1t
will not be exactly like this one. but 1t
will be near enough like 1t to make no
difference In the fastening of the belt.
Just leave me your name and address

decorative spirit OF the room In which
they are to be hung. Having chosen your
pictures and decided in which room they
are to go, the next thing to be consid-
cred Is where they are to be hung. Leav-
ing aside such natural obstacles as doors
and windows, there are probably but two
walls on which the pictures can be hung
to advantage, on account of the distribu-
ton Of light.
Don't crowd the pictures. 1t is much
better to have only few pictures well
hung, than to have the wall covered with
them and forcing their discomfort upon
you the moment the room Is entered.
Neither should the pictures be thrown
out at an angle from the wall. They
should be hung perfectly fiat against the
wall, quite an easy matter If little care
Is exercised
If the pictures to be hung are heavy, n
wooden molding will be necessary, placed
Just below the cornice, or just below the
frieze, If one is used. Two wires should
be used instead of one However, these
wires should not be allowed to show, ex-
cept where 1t Is impossible to hang the
picture to a nail. An ordinary nail driven
into the wall can be made to support
great weight, If the wire is stretched
tightly across the back of the picture.
Long unsightly wires running up to the
molding detract greatly from the aspect
of the room. BEATRICE CAREY.

room Is a broad open fireplace and at
the rear of living room is large screen
ed porch with long French windows open
ing on to the same. At the left hand
side OF the house is a porte cochere en-
trance.
In the second story are four principal
chambers, each one provided with a large
closet and a small servants chamber in
the rear and ample bathroom and linen
closet. The third story is finished In
one large amusement hall and two rooms
for servants.
The roofs should be covered with Span
fish tile or where strict economy Is neces-
sary, they may be covered with cedar
shingles, stained red, which seems most
appropriate for this style of house.
The finish of the interior is In hard
wood In the first story and the second
story in soft wood and painted or enam-
eed, the floors throughout of hard wood
and good basement under the entire
house.
The estimated cost Of this house with
frame construction, cemented on the out
side, exclusive Of heating and plumbing
Is $1,000.
The cement on the exterior may be
colored a dark green In which case, all
the outside trimmings, cornices, brack-
ets window frames, sash, ETC., would
look best painted white, which taken to-
gether with the red roof, would make a
very beautiful combination. The general
style and character Of this house will
wear we'll and will look well for years

Men Successful But
Not Great.
HENRY H. ROGERS,

When most people couple John D.
Rockefeller with Standard OIL they ac-
tually mean Henry H. Rogers, who stands
for the present day genius and acquisitive-
ness of the oil trust. John D. has long
abdicated In favor Of Rogers, who is the
actual head of that concern, the silent
engineer OF the most powerful money ma
chine in the world, yet so oiled and adroit
are his movements that the limelight
knows him not.
Rogers Is about to figure more promi-
nently in the worlds news-unless all
signs fail-as the organizer of what might
be called the Standard Oil railroad-a
chain Of railroads that will stretch en-
tirely across the continent and be the
longest line in the world with the excep-
ton of the Trans-Siberian. 1t will be
the last and decisive stand of Standard
Oil.
Probably no man of equal stature in
the financial world started more humbly
though, truth to tell, there is much
competition among magnates in regard to
their humble origins. He graduated at
the age of sixteen from the village school
at Fairhaven, little New England vii
lage, and then peddled papers in the
streets Of New Bedford, as a stepping
stone TO a proud position behind the
grocery counter and on the delivery
wagon. which he held for FIVE years at SO
q week and board
News of the Pennsylvania oil fields
came altering in and was retailed around
the stoves and cracker barrels. The pro-
prietor Of the village paint shop was told
by New York oil merchant to get him
a sturdy New England youth. Rogers
took his savings, made the journey to
New York in 1859 and got the job. Six
years later he entered the firm of his
employer, Pratt & Co., embarking i'm
mediately on career that Is almost with
out parallel In the romance of riches.
Rogers Is a hard man-but his per
sonality never intrudes directly on the
outside world for he is always hedged In
by an army of secretaries. He is sombre
as thundercloud, with eyes glazing
from under his bushy white eyebrows.
His figure is tall and athletic, with
abnormally long arms, probably in
herited from his fisherfolk parentage. He
is the embodied spirit Of silence and
secrecy, and In age is rapidly approaching
the seventies.
His PHILANTHROPY has been confined to
his boyhood home, Fairhaven, except in
the one case of Mark Twain, in which
he "unbent," to the surprise of all his
intimates. When Mark Twain awoke one
morning twelve years ago, following the
failure Of his publishing house, he faced

The house that we are illustrating in
this weeks issue is something after the
old Spanish Mission" style that is seen
so much in Southern California and Mex
leo, much of which we read of IN books
like Ramona" the old monasteries date
back several hundred years. There is
a quaint, foreign air to them that
lends much of interest together with the
history connected with them In the early
days of this Continent. 1t is specially
adapted to the use of cement. In the
case of the old type of building built by
the Spanish in early times, the walls are
constructed Of brick and cement or of
adobe and cemented on the outside. With
our progressive American ways, we are
building with frame construction, sheath
ed on the outside, covered with metal
lath and cement, this being the most
economical method Of using cement. A
better way is to veneer the outside of
frame with common brick and cement on
the brick and still better way, being to
build a solid brick wall and cement on
same. The striking features of this de-
sign are its low walls, wide projected
caves, its low roof with COPIED gables
and the stone chimneys carried up on
the outside.
The height of stories are feet and
feet. The general size Of the house is
36 feet In width by 4S feet in depth.
Across the main front Is q large recep-
ton hall with the main staircase ex-
tended frontward into a semi-circular
bay, around which is broad semi-cir-
cular piazza, the main steps leading up
to the same at one side and the vesti-
bule entrance being at the side of stair
way. Opening at the left Of the recep-
ton hall is a convenient den or smoking
room and on the right is n recessed al
cove with seat and projected easement
window with seat. Opening from the

Trade Talks.
The Architect.

There is probably no other profession
that has gathered such merlted dignity In
this country within such a short time as
that Of the architect. Not that this pro-
fession has just been blessed with appre-
citation for the first time, for the ancient
cities of Rome and Greece abounded with
examples of the noblest architecture and
of the men who wrought ideals into cold
marble.
As a corollary of the country's growth,
Its citizens must have new houses. AS the
country grows in culture, its citizens de-
mand something more than hybrid shacks.
Inasmuch as this appreciative condition is
now to be found In America better devel-
oped than In any country In the world, 1t
follows that there is a growing field for
the right kind Of young architects-fel-
lows with Imagination, brain and artistic
eyes
There are several ways Of getting an
opportunity for the young man-in fact
in every large city opportunities are fairly
forced upon the ambitious youth.
Many a young man who has had ar
tistic perception, an eye for beauty and
the brains to interpret 1t in Its original
forms, is now frittering away his time as
a half-starved and mediocre artist, when
the same ability directed along archi-
tectural lines, would have brought him
fame and fortune. The architect is like the
doctor and the lawyer, he does not work
for wages, but gets his returns in lump
sum, either a fixed, competitive price or
five per cent. of the total cost Of con-
struction. Still, a young architect will
have an easier time establishing clientele
than the average physician or lawyer
and he usually can secure position as
draughtsman pending that happy event.
In many Of the large cities there are
night schools where a young man can
CLEAN knowledge of the first principles of
architecture in preparation for a practical
opportunity. In all Of the technical schools
that are springing up over the country,
architecture is becoming a feature.
In many of the colleges devoted entirely
to the liberal arts, this old-new profession
is winning its way. Outside of national
development. the glories Of architecture
have been rising and falling from time
immemorial Aside from the pretty CO.
lonial style developed In this country to
some extent in Revolutionary days,
architecture In this country seldom lived
up to the first syllable Of its name-"art."
IL is a sine qua non that the architect
be a draughtsman and much of the be-
ginners time must be devoted to this
branch.
To the young man who is an artist at
heart but Is withal practical. no profession
of greater dignity and promise can be
more highly recommended.
