jefferson and the Patent Office

The first patron Of our patent system
was Thomas jefferson. who during
three years gave his personal attention
to every application for patent. He
used to call the secretary Of war and
the attorney general to examine and
scrutinize with him. and they did it SO
thoroughly that in one year-the first
they granted only three patents. The
very first patent Of all was given to
Samuel Hopkins In 1870 for pearl ash
es. Mr. Jefferson held that the patent
system was not one for creating rev.
enue, but for encouraging n production
Of that which Is to be Of benefit to the
whole people. In the first twelve years
a single clerk In the state department
and n few pigeonholes were all that
the business Of the office required.
Then DR.. Thornton took charge Of 1t
and devoted himself to 1t as hobby.

BRIDES IN WHITE.
II Was Mary Stuart Who Set tho
Fashion For That Color.

The majority OF brides choose white
when selecting their wedding dress be
cause it is the conventional color. and
many persons are Of the opinion that
It always has been favored. AS a mat
ter of fact. it is Of comparatively mod.
ern origin. and In most eastern coun-
tries pink is the bridal color.
During the middle ages and In the
renaissance period brides wore Grim
son to the exclusion Of all other colors
Most of the Plantagenet and Tudor
queens were married in that vivid hue,
which is still popular in parts Of Brit
tany. where the bride Is usually
dressed In crimson brocade.
1t was Mary Stuart who first changed
the color Of the bridal garments. At
her marriage with Francis III. OF
France In 1868. which took place not
before the altar, but before the great
doors of Notre Dame, she was gowned
in white brocade. with train Of pale
blue Persian velvet six yards In length.
This innovation caused a great stir
in the fashionable world Of that time
1t was not however, until quite the
end OF the seventeenth century that
pure white-the color worn by royal
widows-became popular for bridal
garments. Sketch.

For big paper the Providence
Journal some times exhibits some
exceedingly "small" traits. In the
recent municipal campaign in this
city, the Journal, which was siren
uous in its support of Mayor Fletch-
er seemed unable to get real good
"mud" to throw at Alderman
Gamer, the Democratic nominee
About all that could be raked up
apparently was the fact that he as
pired to the position, or as the
Journal rather slangily put it, "He
wanted the job" This was reiter-
ated in season and out of season,
until no doubt some readers OF this
influential paper must have absorb
ed the idea that il was a political sin
for Gamer to desire to become
mayor, but perfectly proper tor
Mayor Fletcher to want to be re-
elected. 1t is said that all is fair in
love, war and politics, but it is sur
prising, to say the least, for a paper
of the Journals caIibre to descend TO
such arts.

ENGLISH DOCTOR SAYS
 WOMEN NEED EXERCISE

LONDON-Do athletic exercises and energetic games develop the womanli- ness in women, or do they tend merely to mannishness? Dr. Scharlieb, the well known woman doctor, has j.st laid some of the pros and cons before the Child Study Society in a discus sion on the recreation activities of girls.
 pr. Scharlieb contends that the moral effects of physical culture gre good, and that all healthy exercise tends to the strengthening of self re- spect, good temper, cheerfulness. and many other virtues. The influence of team games, played in the right spirit, is such that two of the qualities com monly supposed to be lacking in girls are develope6-a corporate sense of honor and a spirit of anselfishness These games are likely to equip the girl with courage and endurance with which to meet her difficulties. and give her the capacity of give and take" which will fit her to be a good wife.
 Dr. Scharlieb insists that, as a rule, it is impossible to have the healthy mind unless we have the healthy body
 T know" she says. there have been brilliant exceptions. But am sure that many women fail in the battle of life. not because they are wanting in nor allty or learning not heca nse the snirit
