Washington Loiter.
IF rain an Oceasiounl Com sponde nt.J
Washington, I). C. ■»
.Tnn. l'tli, 1887.)
There are ten books in the secret
Archives of the United States Patent
Oflioo for which patent attorneys in
Washington would be williii(p to give
$100,000. They are the hooks con
taining tlie names and addresses of
inventors whose cases have been re
jected during the past ten years.
There lias hern an average of 28,000
•nases filed in the Patent Office every
year for the last ten years and a year
ly average of 18,000 patents granted.
£ast year there were 05,000 appli
cations filed and 24.000 patents issued
the largest number in any one year.
On tliis showing something like 60
per cent of the applications have
i patented. Ho there have been
during the last ten vears about 1(K),-
000 rejected cases, 'fliese in part in
clude eases defeated in interferences
and applications allowed, but on
which final fees have not been paid.
Now good attorneys get fully 90
per cent, of their cases allowed and
patented: lienee there must be sums
reason for only 00 per cent, of the
applications being allowed. The
reason is this: fully 8.000 inventors
every year make out their own oases
and try to get them through the Pat
ent Oliicc. Not knowing the routine
they almost invariably get involved
n the meshes of red tape and the in
tricacies of Patent < Iflice procedure.
The difficulty may be slight, a mere
■formality, a* defective drawing, an
improperly worded application, an
indefinite’specification, or n slight in
terference requiring a few amend
ments which a skillful patent attor
ney could make in half an hour. But
to the inventor these prove an insur
mountable obstacle; his application
»e rejected and he gives up in disgust
<ar despair.
Applications for patents in the
United States Patent Office, go first
to the twenty-eight principal exami-
ners. according to the subject matter.
If they are rejected, two years are al
lowed in which to amend them or
take other necessary action. If no
action shall have been taken at the
-’nd of two years, such cases are treat-
•Vlas abandoned, and are sent to the
division where they are entered in
the books which the Patent Attor
neys so much covet. Fully 50,000 of
the rejected cases of tlie last ten
■years fall under these conditions. At
.l low estimate 25,000 of these reject
ed cases put in the hands of a compe
tent attorney, could be patented. A
{latent attorney’s fees on such condi
tional cases would he about. $25 per
•case—a gross sum of $025,000. Count
•out disgusted inventors and those not
a.b)-* to pay, still an enormous num-
Iker would get out. patents if they
knew how. But tlje trouble is just
here—no one outside the Patent Of
fice is allowed access to those file
book-. And without them they can
not learn the name and address of
inventors. Then again, there are
some 15.000 cases now lying in the ex-
•i.miner‘s rooms awaiting the two
veers limit. These are still more val
uable. for if they are taken up before
lie ri11■ >•-1 i111It expires, the initial fees
do m it iap-e, while in the other cases
tf;:o would have to be repaid.
Ti;e pructiee in the United States
Pa>ut Office was not always thus.
During (rruut’s first term, for a pe
riod of about a year, attorneys were
allow- d access to all letter hooks, and
previous to that had been allowed ae-
•ess to the files of abandoned cases,
but there was a constant scramble
iii.i not infrequently downright fights
over them, and about 1875 the Pat
ent. Cilice made them secret.
How to Live a Full Century.
From the St. James Gazette.
Professor Humphry, of Cambridge,
has prepared a series of tables which
contain some Interesting information
About the centenarians. Of 52 per
sons whom lie mentions, at least 11—
2 males and 0 females—actually at
tained the age of 100. Others attain
ed very nearly to the hundred years.
•Only one of the persons reached 108
years, while one died at the alleged
age of 100. Of these 52 persons, 130
r women and 10 men. Professor
U umphrey tells us that ^he compara
tive immunity of women from the ex
positive and ri-ks to which men are
subjected, and the greater temper
ance in eating and drinking exhibit
ed by women are the chief points in
determining their higher chances of
longevity. Out of the 33 women 20
had been married, and 11 had borne
large families. Of tlie 20 who had
been wives 8 had married before they
were 20, one at 10, and 2 at 17.
Twelve of the fifty-two centena
rians were discovered to have been
the eldest children of their parents.
This fact, adds Ur. Humphrey, does
not agree with popular notions that
first children inherit a feebleness of
constitution, nor with tlie opinion of
racing stables, which is decidedly
against the idea that “firstlings” are
to be depended on for good perform
ances on the course. The centena
rians generally regarded were of spare
build. Gout and rheumatism were
as a rule, absent. "It seems,” says
Professor Humphrey, “that the frame
which is destined to great age needs
no such prophylactics and engenders
none of tlie peccant humors for which
the finger joiuts (as in gout) may find
a vent.”
Of the fifty-two aged people, twen
ty-four only had no teeth, tlie nver-
• 4;e number of teeth remaining being
four or five. Long hours of sleep
were notable among these old people,
the period of repose averaging nine
hours; while out-of-door exercise in
plenty and early rising are to be not
ed among the factors of a prolonged
life. One of the centenarians “drank
to excess on festive occasions,” an
other was a “free beer drinker,” and
‘drank like a lisli during his whole
life.” Twelve had been total abstain
ers for life or nearly so, and mostly
all were “small meat eaters.”

Chicago News.
Mr. Hoi. Hmit 11 Russell, tlie come
dian. lias a nephew of the name of
Coleridge Russell, a highly respecta
ble young man, but one who, like
many of the rest of us. has not yet
leaped those pecuniary rewards
which are alleged to accrue to per
sonal worth. To this nephew Hoi.
has been specially kind, and scarcely
a week passes that he does not re
member him in some thoughtful,
practical way. Not long ago he said:
“Coleridge, ir you’ll come around to
the theatre to-night I’ll give you a
suit of clothes which 1 have never
worn, and which may be of value to
you—a spick-and-span new suit, but
too large for me.” The nephew woe
overjoyed, and he accepted the boon
with protestations of gratitude. Sub-
sequently*Sol, asked the young man
how the clothes fitted him. “Nicely,”
said the young man. “You’re just
ns kind to me, Uncle Sol. us you could
be, and I want to tell you again how
grateful I am for your kindness.”
“Don’t speak of it, Coleridge,” said
Sol, grasping his nephew's hand and
choking up with emotion. “Don't
speak of it, iny boy. I like tohelp you
because you nppreciuto it. I am sure
there is no one to whom I would go
Sooner tlian to you if 1 were in trou
ble fortune is fickle, and there may
come a time, you know, when I shall
need your help, when reverses will
sweep uway everything 1 have und
leave me an object of commiseration
anil pity.”
Tlie young man pressed his uncle’s
hand earnestly, and replied in tones
that quavered withr feeling: “I hope
so, Uncle Sol; indeed, I hope so.”
Useful Hints.
Glass vessels and other untensils
may.be purified and cleansed by rins
ing them out with powdered char
coal. i
Glass should he washed in cold \vn
ter, which gives it a brighter and
clearer look than when cleansed with
warm water.

A KNOWING LABORER WHO PURCHAS
ED VALUABLE ORB AS BROKEN ROCK
AND MADE A MILLION.
A Dally News special from Ishpem-
ing, Mich., says: John T. Jones,
who, a month ago, was working as a
day laborer, is now independently
wealthy. His fortune was acquired
in a most singular manner. When
lie first came here, he worked about
different mines for a while, but final
ly offered 25 cents a ton for a pile
of rock at the Wlnthrop Hematic
Company’s mines, tlie money to be
paid ns the rock was removed. He
also bought other piles of rock at the
same price. The company was sur
prised one day when Jones set ft force
of men at work sorting the rock and
carting off the ore. It now transpires
that the rock pans out one-half good
ore, for which Jones received $5.50 a
ton. Tbo Winthrop pile alone, it is
said, netted him over $1,000,000. The
work hns been conducted under the
very eyes of the mill owners, who
have regarded the rock piles as worth
less, and paid no attention to Jones.
The Jones ore lias been shipped large
ly to Joliet, Ills. He can buy no
more rock piles for 25 cents a ton, end
the owners are going about in large
numbers, sampling the heaps of re
fuse which dot tlie mining fields.
About Brandt’s Unknown Friend’s
Luck.
Tlie story as told by Brandt, a fore
man in Mr. Win. Lewis’s cigar factory
in Han Francisco, Cal., is, that his
diffident friend asked him to act as
hi* agent, being intimate and ho nat
urally accepted the position, with the
result of winning Third Capital Prize
in the November Drawing of Tlie
Louisiana Htate Lottery, for $1 sent
to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La.
The number held hv the young clerk
was 07,858, the whole ticket drawing
the sum of $10,000.--San Francisco
(.Cal.) Chronicle, Dec. 8.
An old chicken raiser says that
young chickens need a little animal
food. Be cautious to let the supply
be occasional and very moderate.
Most farmers say that both the
yield and quality of potatoes are un
favorably affected when grown upon
the same piece of ground several
years in succession.
Cooking an old Fowl.—It may be
made as good and tender us a young
one. Htew it gently for four hours;
thensetjit aside and loave in the water
to cool. If roasted on the following
day it will be as tender and juicy as a
young one.
Cinnamon Rolls aro made by taking
the dough just as in the fruit loaf.
Spread the roll with butter and sprin
kle cinnamon and sugar over it: roll
it up tightly; then cut off strips as
you would if you were making bis
cuit; put them in the baking tins,
put a little lump of butter on the top
of each one, und sprinkle sugar and
cinnamon on each: let them rise until
light, then bake quickly. These are
especially nice for tea.
England requires from 150,000 to
170,000 bales of bops from abroad each
year to make up her shortage. Ger
many usually supplies much of this
need, but this year she is short of hops.
With 70,000 bales short in this coun
try in tlie 1886 crop and 150,000 bales
short in England, it is useless to look
to Germany to supply such defi
ciency. Hence there must be a strong
market for any surplus bops of 1885
and 1886.—American Cultivator.
A cultivator of grapes for a long
time says that an old vine, that bears
but few grapes and those of a poor
quality may bo made to yield as many
and as fine grapes as it ever did. Tlie
plan is to cut the vine off close to the
ground, dig around for some feet,
loosen the old earth and remove it
for several inches in depth. Then
manure heavily pronging in the ma
nure carefully so as not to injure the
roots. The old dirt removed may
then be replaced and carefully mixed
with the new mauureconsisting large
ly of ashes, a part leached and other
gooil well rotted manure and rich
eurth throwing occasionally a sprinkle
of water as it is filled up. The vine
will soon put out fresh roots and
vines and from these select two, per
mitting no others to grow. These
will grow off the following year and
will be as good for bearing as any iu
the past.

Those of Japanese paper are covered
With orange, pink or orimson roses
made out of tissue paper, and are

An experienced housekeeper says
the best thing for cleansing tinware
is common soda. She gives the fol
lowing directions; Dampen a cloth
and dip in soda, and rub the ware
briskly, after which wipe dry. Any-
blackened wure can bo made to look
as well as now.
Cleansing silver is not an easy task.
The use of kerosene will grpatly facil
itate ihe operation. Wet a flannel
cloth in the oil, dip in dry whiting,
and thoroughly rub the plated or
silver wure; throw it into a dish of
scalding soapsuds, wipe with a soft
flannel, and polish with a chamois
skin.
After a stove hiis been blackened, it can
be kepi looking very well fora Inna time
by rubbing It with paper every morning.
Rubbing with paper is a much nicer way
of keeping the outside of a teakettle, cof-
foe-pot and tea-pot bright und (Bean than
the old way of washing them with suds.
Rubbing witfi paper la also the best way
of polishing knives, tinware and spoons;
they shine like new silvor. For polishing
mirrors, windows, lamp-chimneys, etc.,
paper Is better than a dry cloth.
For removing spots of grense from
boards, take equal parts of fuller’s earth
and pearlash, a quarter of a pound of each,
and boll In a quart ot soft water; and
while hot lay It on the greaeed parts, id-
lowing It to remain on them for ten or
twelve hours; after which It may be scour
ed off with sued and water. A floor much
spotted with grease should be completely
washed over uith this mixture the day
before It Is scoured. Fuller’s earth nml ox-
gull boiled together form u very power
ful demising mixture for floors or carpets.
Stains of Ink are removed by strong vine
gar, or salts of lemon will remove them.
Never stimulate a good milker to
make her give more. Feed her well
but not overmuch. Too high and
constant feeding causes garget nnd
milk fever. Many cows have been
ruined by trying to force the yield of
butter. When a cow shows the least
indifference to eating more, remove
her from the food so that the diges
tive and milk organs may have time
to rest.
There Ought to be Graphs
