UNION & RECORDER. 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.” He Honed So. 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.

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. tie up a little sulphur in a hag am suspend it in tlie cage. Red ants wil never he found in closet or drawer if a small bag of sulphur he kept there. Small umbrellas are effective for shades on lamps and gas chandeliers. Those of Japanese paper are covered With orange, pink or orimson roses made out of tissue paper, and are fastened as a shield at one side of the globe. A large bow of ribbon of the the same color fastens the handle. 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 Enough.—It is stated by some who ought to know that the total number of varieties of grapes now raised in this country is not fur from 300, and new ones are appearing every year. There is an active demand for small farms around Athens. ADVICE 'll) MOTHERS. Are you disturbed at night and broken nf your rest by a sick child suU'eriug and cniny with pain of cutting teeth?
