There will be an effort during the
next session of Congress to reduce the
fee for patent rights from thirty dollars
to one dollar—the fee now charged for
copyrights. The thirty-dollar fee means
an examination, but it is no guaranty of
the value of a patent, neither is it a
guaranty that the patent does not in any
way infringe on other patents or inter
ests. The expenses of the Patent Office
will be reduced under the new bill to
less than one-fiftieth what they now
are, and there will be more profit in con
ducting it, for, while the charge for pat
ents is exorbitant, the expenses of run
ning the office are extravagantly large.
The thousands of patents issued yearly
that are never heard of afterward mean
the support of a certain number of clerks
in the Patent Office and a certain num

It is claimed that there would be even
fewer patents issued under the provisions
of the proposed bill, and its effect would
be in the end to increase the value of a
patent-right,

which says you are a thief, and a liar,

More hay is injured by not being
dried enough than by being dried too
much. One extreme is equally as bad
as the other. Clover, for instance, if
allowed to become too dry in the sun
will lose all of its leaves and its blos
soms, and the stocks that are left are of
little value. On the other hand, if put
in the mow too soon it will become mow
bitrnt, and equally worthless. A little
of last year’s hay to mix with each load
as it is put in the mow is very desirable,
absorbing the moisture from the new
hay. Farmer's Magazine-

The world Is growing better
~ . . Every year!
It throws off many a fetter
Every year;
There are many things to relish,
Though the ancient things must perish.
But the beautiful we cherish
Every year.
Many changes have come o’er us
Every year;
Many friends have gone before us
Every year!
Through many a strange mutation
We have reached a higher station
Every year.
We have had our slight vexations
Every year;
And pleasing jubilations
Every year;
There are visions to remember
Os flowers in September
And Christmas in December
Every year.
The sun shines now as brightly
Every year;
And the snowflakes fall as lightly
Every year;
As in days when we were younger,
And the years appeared much longer
To out hearts, which then felt stronger,
Every year.
Afflictions have not shrouded
Every year*
And troubles have not clouded
Every year;
But hope the whole discounted,
While the former were recounted,
And the latter all surmounted
Every year.
Our weakness is more trying
Every year:
And the days more swiftly flying"
Every year;
Our faults bring deep contrition,
Our errors admonition,
Experience its fruition
Every year.
The end of life comes nearer
Every year:
The friends left become dearer
Every year;
And the “goal of all that’s mortal”
Opens wider still its portal
To the land of the immortal
Every year.
And thinner grows the curtain
Every year;
That divides us from the certain
Every year;
We look forward to the morrow
Which shall close all earthly sorrow
With the calmness Hope can borrow
Every year.

Houses for Winter.
House cleaning in the fall, although
much less prom nence is given to it, is
fully as important as house cleaning in
the spring, espec ally when, as is often
the case in town, the house has been
clo ed forth summer. Theme of dis
inle taut' i then necesary, and sweep
ing, dusting, scrubbing and whitewa n
iugare imperatively c lied for. It is a
well known fact that malaria is more
active n the early fall than at any other
season even in the dog days. There is
in the air an excess of moisture, and
this, wth the heat, are the exact ele
ments necessary for decomposition.
Mephitic taints are slower in coming to
a head, so to speak, and so linger longer
about the bouse. Besides in our fur
nace-heated houses, the frost has no
chance to kill poisonous germs, and
when the fires are started they rise on
the hot air. carrying the seeds of dis
ease and de th into parlor and bed
chamber. Therefore, if whitewashing
is done but once a year, the fall rather
than the spring should be the time se
lected, and every nook and corner of
the cellar should be well whitewashed.
A strong solution of coperas is excellent
for pouring down sinks and water clos
ets, while chloride of lime should be
used for sprinkling in back yards and
damp corners Concentrated lye or a
strong solution of potash will often clear
a stopped pipe by eating away the ob
jection. It is. however, useless where
much grease has accumulated, since it
merely converts it into soap and so
hardens it. These accumulations are
more frequent than one is apt to sup
pose, and sometimes clog the drain
pipes bv degrees until at last a space of
several feet is filled To clear-this out,
the aid of the plumber is necessary, but
it may be prevented by occasionally,
say once a week, flushing the pipe with
hot water.
Beds should be cleaned, mattresses
sunned and blankets and quilts which
have been packed away taken out and
well aired to rid them of the odor of
camphor or tar paper. Strong spirits
o.' ammonia injected by means of a
small glass syringe into every crevice of
the bedstead will effectually dislodge
any unpleasant occupants, and should
be supplemented by a liberal dusting
with insect powder.
Where carpets have been left on the
Poor. give them a thorough sweeping,
either with a new broom, or better still,
a patent carpet-sweeper. When this
last is used it will be necessary to use a
dust brush and pan for the corners. If
any signs o' moths are detected, turn
hack the edges of the carpet and
sprinkle with insect powder thickly un
der them—this will probably check their
rava". s. Steam cleaning is, however,
the only ceriain method of destroying
them. I’hila 'clphia Press.

The Fall Season.
The “fall of the leaf” is the season of
death and decay. The gorgeous color
ing of the leaves and the changing
hues of the lower vegetation, are all
significative df this. It is the ripening
which precedes decay that produces the
varied tints which clothe the woods find
the shrubbery; and the beauty which
pleases the eye is nothing less than the
covering that hides the unpleasant and
unwholesome ruins of the Summer’s
verdure. The fall season, with its
dying vegetation, its damps and fogs
and dripping moisture and its sudden
changes, is one that calls for special care
and precaution. Decay and death re
produce themselves, and there is noth
ing so hurtful to life as dead matter.
From it are spread upon every breeze
germs which produce decomposition in
living matter and disease in animal life;
and unless pains are taken to fortify
ourselves aga’nst these influences, we
are in constant danger.
There are a few simple directions
Wh ch might be usefully given just now
that may. if noted and followed, pre
vent serious disorders; attd first—be
cause the most dangerous—the drink
ing water calls for the most serious
thought. Do we ever think of what be
comes of the myriads of insects that
have until now infested almost every
leaf, and that with all the filth they
have produced, have fallen to the
ground and have died and disappeared,
and of all the dead, rotting matter un
der our feet everywhere? It is in
greater part d ssolved and carried into
the streams, ponds and springs; and
from all these we directly or indirectly
procuce our supply of drink. It is hard
ly safe to use any water, even from the
deepest wells, because these are all
more or less polluted by surface water
at this season, without boiling it; and
special care should be taken against
drinking any water that has not been
thoroughly boded. It is just now that
fevers, colds, sore throats and intestinal
disorders become frequent, and a very
little prevention may be more useful
than a very large amount of cure.
The closest attention should be given
to the health. The feet should be kept
dry and warm, and a chill to the body
be carefully guarded against. The per
spiration tb”ow off much of whatever
unwholesome matter maybe taken into,
or produced in. the system; and a sud
den stoppage of it throws back all this
into the circulation and poisons the
bio d with it. The result mav be what
we < all a cold; or it may be more se
rious and appear as a fever, or pneu
monia or diptheria; and all of these
differ chiefly in degree and location,
and not so much in character; for the
former may easily change into the
latter. 'The doctor is not always at
hand, and so every person should be as
much as possible his own and his fam
ily's doctor, so far as the prevention of
sickness is concerned. Precautions and
good nursing save more lives than med
icines. A simple cooling laxative, a
warm bath, a simple sweating drink of
gruel and wrapping in a blanket and
going to bed, will frequently ward off a
serious illness and avert the danger be
fore the doctor can be Tea hed. And
to use these, no one need to wait for
the doct r’s orders. So that, to sum
up, it may be lepeated that at this sea
son it is very safe to be extremely par
ticular in regard to drinking water; to
avoid damp or wet feet or clothing: to
avoid getting heated and then chilled
by cooling; to eat moderately and at
the first intimation of anything wrong,
to use the simple remedies pointed out,
and then send for the doctor.— Rural

Chinese Masonry.
Last Sunday was a great day for the
Chinese Masons of Philadelphia, for no
less a personage than Loo Chew, a gen
uine Mandarin, had arrived to initiate
nine new candidates into the mystical
order of the Gee Hing. The ceremony
began in the afternoon with a feast, at
which a generous supply of chicken,
rice and shark’s fins was put where it
would do the most good, and a consid
erable quantity of American whisky
where it would do the most harm.
Philadelphia boasts several Chinese
singers of the first rank, who enlivened
both the feast and the initiation exer
cises with various selections from their
native repertory, which were received
with rapturous applause by the heathen
and set on edge the teeth of passing
Christians. The programme had been
adapted to an all night session, and
there is every reason to suppose that it
was carried out to the letter.— Chicago

The Phipps Extradition.
The case of Phipps, the Philadelphia
embezzler, before the Canadian courts
presents some interesting international
questions. Phipps, who was superin
tendent of the Philadelphia alms-house,
is accused of having robbed the city of
$650,000. His peculations extended
over a period of fine years, and it is
I said he divided the fruits of them with
four members of the board of guardians
of the institution according to a nefari
ous compact entered into at the time he
was chosen superintendent. The agree
ment was that the fourguardians should
make Phipps superintendent, and he in
turn should divide w th them $75,000 a
year, a compact which he carried out
with scrupulous fidelity. When bis
robberies were detected he tied to
Canada. The United States Govern
ment demands his surrender under the
Ashburton treaty. This treaty provides
for the surrender of persons charged
with various crimes; not including
larceny and embezzlement —the very
offenses that Phipps was conspicuously
guilty of. Forgery is one of the crimes
mentioned in tnq treaty, and the I hila
delph a authorities have made out a
show of a case against him on this
charge, on the ground that he issued
fraudulent receipts for warrants. The
court at Hamilton, Canada,. holds that
the forgery charge is sufficiently made
out to warrant the extradition of the
prisoner. But the prisoner’s counsel
has taken the case before the < ourt of
Appeals at Toronto, and if defeated
there will take it to the Supreme Court
at Ottawa.
If Piiipps shall be surrendered it can
be for trial on the charge of forgery
only, the least of his offenses. But the
Philadelphia authorities will regard it
as a great hardship that a man who baa
robbed their city of $650,000 through
nine years of official life, through a
ser es of crimes that ought to send him
to the penitentiary for the remainder of
his days, should be exempt from trial
for the worst of these crimes, and be
tried only for one. and that the least of
them- Besides, it is not clear that he
can be convicted of forgery, as the case
is a weak one. if, therefore, the Ca
nadian court shall make it a condition
of his surrender that he be exempt
from trial on the charges of larcenv and
embezzlement, the proofs of which are
overwhelming, and be required to an
swer to the charge of forgery only, and
if <>n this charge he should be acquitted,
It would be a signal example of inter
national law shielding a hardened and
infamous-blender from punishment.—
