The Inventor.

The story OF the inventor who has beg.

while chasing some elusive theory, Is an
old and familiar one. There Is also the
widespread story, not so often told OF
young men who are wasting their time,
spurred on by grating patent agents.

native ability TO handle. or ones that are
neither practicable nor worth while. In
ventors, outside Of the man who stumbles
on a brilliant idea or improves some other
chaps Invention, are born, not made In
this respect many Of them are like the
rising young poets, who mistake long
hair and an ability to rhyme for real
poetic feeling.
Inventing cannot be made business.
But the rewards OF the successful In
ventor have brought forward a crop OF
young men who are wasting money and
time-though, X must be admitted, they
could waste both In a less profitable way.
America is the especial breeding ground
Of the inventor-but the fact must be
emphasized that, In the present highly
organized and scientific age. few Of these
are qualified to do more than stumble on
scientific truths. In the line of novelties,
these Inventors" however, are adding

there has been quite q fad for "baby

little tots, but also by their older sisters
and their mothers.

Of these pillows Is about fourteen by
eighteen inches, In the ordinary oblong
shape, although as is shown by study
of the drawing, various other sizes and
shapes are In vogue.
Such pillows are also liked for the
boudoir. or on divans aud easy chairs,
the fancy shapes and larger sizes usually
being selected. For sleeping pillows,
however, the square or oblong pillow OF
the size given, In fourteen by eighteen,
or In twelve by fourteen size is used,
these sizes being generally kept In stock
in the uncovered pillows in the shops.
They cost from seventy-hve cents to a
dollar and quarter according to the
quality Of down used for nlling them.

The inexperienced home maker Is often
at loss to know how 10 improve a room
which Is to be re-decorated and done

strides during the past few years, that
very clever changes can be made In a
room, without a great expenditure and
with most successful results.

where millionaires seem to spring up in a
night, and apart from the money making
chances OF the two towns. there is a sig
nificant factor TO be found In the savings
department that permeates the public
schools OF both. In these two cities, more
than any others though school savings
banks are scattered through over twenty
states-is this wonderful system OF edu-

lions have been deposited In the school

one hint OF graft ever emanates there

arranged home that are essential for the
comfort and convenience Of those who are
to live In II.
The house that we are considering IS
simple In treatment, not over large but
embracing all the necessary belongings TO
a complete home. The vestibule entrance
In the center opens into a large spacious
living room with fireplace and a projected
bay window. The latter has glazed door
opening on TO large piazza that extends
across the front and on one side. At the
left OF the vestlbule entrance and open

that may also be appropriately used for

living room is a door connecting with
private hall way, this opens into very
convenient and well located den; here In
also fireplace and book shelves, also
ample space for desk and lounge. At the
rear OF this hall is family bedroom and
two ample clothes closets. At the left OF
the llving-room Is an ample stairway
leading 10 the second story and beneath
the same is a stairway leading down 10
large amusement room under the front
portion of the house, making splendid
play room for children or billiard room.

room. The dining room opens or from

pantry, cupboards. rear porch and room
for refrigerator, also rear stairs with
