'Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every-
thing Re Invents.
As Thomas A. Edison watcbed the
pumping of the air from a glass tube in
his laboratory a day or two ago, a man
Bald to him:—
"You patent every little thing you
discover, don't you, Mr. Edison."
"I do," said Mr. Edison; "and do you
know why I do it?"
"I suppose you do 1t so yon will reap
the benefit of your discovery," was the
reply.
"I thought you'd say that," said Mr.
Edison, "and I don't suppose you will
believe mo when I tell you 1t isn't so,
nevertheless, I disoover a great many
things that I would be glad to give to
the public for nothing, but I don't dare.
1 patent these things to save myself
from defending law sulta There are a
lot of sharks In this world who are con-
tinually on the lookout for new things,
and when one of them bears of some-
thing new he hustles to the patent office
to see if It is patented. If it isn't, he
claims it as an original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like us Dot, begin a suit
with the man who invented the thing
for making or using it. The inventor
will say: But I discovered this thing
first; 1 am the inventor.' Ile is referred
to the patent (Alice, where ho finds the
official claim of original iuveatton. The
fact that the papers ore filed long after
he mode his discovery does not help
him, for MI the ut.h lr man does is to
hire a follow to swear that ho made the
discovery a month or two prior to the
date the Inventor claims. It sounds ridi-
culous, probably, but it Is a fact that
there are often rapes between the inven-
tors and the sharks to reach the patent
office, the sharks having had early In-
formation about the investor's discovery.
There are many such recce, and thou-
sands of dollars depend on each one.

Electric Current Waste Prevented.
A combination has been made, consist-
ing essentially of a clock and a switch,
to prevent waste In the: use of electric
current. The apparatus includes a lever
so arranged that when the switch Is off;
the lever engages with the mechanism
of the clock and stops It; when the
switch is on the Lever frees the clook,
which will then record the hours and
minutes during whlch the lamps con-
trolled by the switch have been in use.
In many work shop,' the operators are
more or less careless In turning off the
electric light. Whore such lights are Im-
mediately under the eye of the manager
a oheck on the undue consumption of
cnrrent can be maintained. Otherwise
the waste precentor, when connected to
any lamp, will give a record of the Im-
proper use of the light by defiataly enum-
erating the number of minutes or hours
during which the right Is turned on. A
large saving in the qnarterly current bill
may thus often be effected. Arrange.
ments can be made by which a con-
nection can be made at any moment
with any one of the lights throughout a
house, or the inetrumeht can be so ad-
justed that no lamp in the plane can be
turned on without the act being made
manifest on the face of the indicating
dial.
There is no joy in this world equal to the
happiness of motherhood. A woman finds
ample compensation for her trials and wor-
ries and bothers in the soft, clinging little
body nestling close to her own —in the
trustful clinging of the little hands, and
the love light in the little eyes.
A woman's health is her dearest pos-
session. Good looks, god times, happl-
nesa, love and its continuance, depend
on her health. Almost all of the sick-
ness of women is traceable directly or Indi•
rectly to Some derangement of the organs
distinctly feminine. Troubles of this kind
are often neglected because a very natural
and proper modesty keeps women away
from physicians, whose inaistenoe upon ex-
amination and local treatment is generally
RS useless as it ie common. Dr. Fierce's
Favorite Prescription will do more for them
than 99 doctors to too. It will do more than
the hundredth doctor can unless he pre-
scribes it. It is a prescription of Doctor
Pierce, who for ,;o yeytrs has been chief con-
sulting physician of the Wor,d's Dispen-
sary and Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo.
I lost gig babies by untimely births. In the
eighth month of my seventh pregnancy, auteual,
I was taken 10. The family doctor was fialled.
He said there was no help for me. The baby
must be horn. I grieved excessively. I per-
suaded my husband, against the physician's ad.
vice, to get me Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre.nf tion.

SOME LEAP -YEAR LAWS,
Women Could Propose 000 Years Ago and
tate Men Had to A000pt.
Probably few sptnetore wbo have been
trying to gather up enough courage to
take advantage of their onstomary privil-
eges during leap year are aware that In
two ooanbries at least, and more than 800
years ago, laws were passed which gave
women the rtgbt of proposing marriage
These enactments went even further
than this. They also stipulated that 11
the man whose hand they sought should
refuse, he should !nous a heavy fine.
A eearoher among the (snolent reoords
of Scotland boa recently discovered an
act of the Scottish parilamenb,whloh wee
passed In the year 1288, whioh rims as
follows :—
"It is sillabub and ordaint that during
the rein of this maist bltselt Meggeeeete, lik
for the years knowne as Lope Years, ilk
mayden Iayde of baithe bight) and towe
°stalls shall bas aborts) to bespoke ye man
she likes, albeit gtf he refuses to talk
hir to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be
mulcted In ye sum of ane pundits or leas,
as his estatt may be; exoept and awls
gtf be can make it appeare that he is be-
trothit to ane ither woman, he then shall
be free."
A year or two Later a law almost sim-
ilar to the Scottish enactment was passed
in France, and received the approval of
the king. It is also said that before Col-
umbus sailed on his famous voyage to
the westward a eltmllar privilege was
granted to the maidens of Genoa and
Florenoe.
There is no record extant of any fines
imposed under the conditions of this
Scotch law, and no trace of stattetice
regarding the number of spinsters who
took advantage of It or of the similar
regulations in France, but the custom
seems to have taken firm hold upon the
popular mind about that time. The next
mention of it is dated nearly 400 years
later, and It is a curious little treatise
called "Love,Courtshlp and Matrimony,"
which was published in London to 1608.
In this quaint work the "privilege" is
thus alluded to:—
''Albeit it now becomes a part of the
common law in regard to social rolatione
of life, that, as often as every leap year
doth returu, the Iadyes have the solo
privilege during the time it continuotb
of making love, either by wordes or
lookes, as to thorn it seometh proper and,
moreover, no man will be entitled to
benefit of clergy who doth in any wise
treat her proposal with slight or con-
tumely."
Up to within a century ago It was one
of the unwritten laws of leap year that
if a man should decline a proposal, he
should soften the (Reappointment whloh
his answer would brleg about by the
presentation of a talk dress to the unsuc-
cessful suitor for his hand.
A curious leap year superstition is
still to be met with in some parts of
New England, and that is that leap year
the "beans grow on the wrong aide of
the nod. "

*wig Ree With Crests for Ulm if One
Wishes Them.
A funeral precentor) that recently
passed down the Strand attracted un-
usual attention because of the oarriagea
10 which the mourners rode. ThonOourn-
era themselves looked as if they might
have spent the preceding, night at a
wake, and the hearse, with he (trappings,
was of the kind furnished for the meet
inexpensive funerals It wee a email
funeral, as funerals go among the poor,
and only six oarriagee followed the
bearoe.
There were six or eight people to each
carriage. The oarriages were not the or-
dinary rusty vehicles engaged for cheap
funerals. Each was a brougham of ree
cent make and irreproachable pollab, and
each bore on its well -varnished sides a
monogram. Several of the monograms
were re0ognized ae those of famlllee liv-
ing in the West End.
It looked at first glance as 1f half a
dozen families had contributed their pri-
vate carriages to some poor funeral. As
a matter of fact, however, they had all
come from the same livery etable, and
anyone who chooses may hire one of
them, provided the person whose mono-
gram is marked on it does not want 1t at
the same time. The livery man marks a
monogram or orest on one of his oar-
rtages for a consideration, and the owner
of the monogram or west may thus
pose as the owner of the brougham
whenever he chooses to hire it.
NOT A SICK DAY
For Over Thirty Years!
RESULT OF USING
AYER'S PILLS
"Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty
years have kept me in good health,
never having had a sick day in all that
time. Before I was twenty I suffered
almost continually—as a result of con-
stipation—from dyspepsia, headaches,
neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive
diseases. When I became convinced
that nine -tenths of my troubles were
caused by constipation, I began the use
of Ayor's Pills, with the most satisfac-
tory results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
invalid for years, also began to use
Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly
restored. With my children I had no-
ticed that nearly all their ailments were
preceded by constipation, and I soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Ayer's fills,
if taken in season, avert all danger of
sickness."—II. WETrseene, Byron, I11.
