Children’s Books. Children’s books abound nowadays, but I question if children are as well off as when their libraries were scantier. The opportunity for choice is so large that parents are commonly too bewildered to make selections, and end by taking the book the bookseller recommends. or which recommends itself by having the greatest number of pictures. Os illustrated books there are now a hundrjil wherethereusedl>etoone. Ilinstratioir is m itself a good thing when the work is as well done as we find it to-day, but, except for the smallest juveniles, it ought not to bo miulo of more importance than the text. It is a Well-known fact that many publishers select pictures, and then order a story written to tit them; an author so hampered cannot produce so good work as though his invention were given free play, and the result of his labor is often of the poorest Comparatively few fathers and mothers interest themselves seriously to provide the best possible mental food for the growing intelligences in their charge. The want of a sense of responsibility in this matter is as astonishing as with regard to matters more important still. A child’s mind is just as much dependent for its best development on the quality of the food furnished it as its body is upon its physical support. A child ojten gets more real mental culture from browsing at will in its father’s libary than it gets from all its school lessons. The schoolteaching is mainly good for discipline of the mental faculty, secondarily for information; while the reading of books may be. made a powerful instrument for moral training as well as for education of the higher qualities of the intellect—imagination, humor arid the like. There is a notion of the necessity for “writing down" to the supposed level of the childish intelligence, which is quite mistaken. A milk-and-water diet is inferior to one of milk undiluted, figuratively as well as literally speaking. A compulsory cramming of the child’s mind is one tiling, and a very bail one; to surround it with the best literature, and leave it to its natural reaching out after what it can comprehend and enjoy, is quite another thing to be done. The intellect of many grown persons, as well as children, is dwarfed or becomes flabby, nerveless and inactive, for want of wholesome and substantial sustenance. Children’s reading, it seems to me, is at present especially defective in stimulus to the imagination. Fairy tales have not the vogue they had twenty years ago. I have seen children whose reading I knew was limited to that of flavorless literature so plentiful now, and it was plain that their prosaic little minds needed above all things some of this culture of the fancy and imagination. They knew nothing of the most fascinating plays of childhood, in which my brother and I used to live out of ourselves and of the world of every day, having transferred our personality entirely, for the time bein& into that of some favorites of fiction—Robin Hood and his men, Friar Tuck, and King Richard, or any of the long list of Wav-erly-novels heroes. A move has been made in the right direction, of late, by the publication of certain classes of literature in a form suited to children's capacity. Such are the abridged editions of Froissart’s Chronicle, Mallory’s King Arthur, and other books which I have noticed on bookseller’s counters. Some of these are, unfortunately, gotten up with so much elegance that people of moderate means cannot indulge iu in their purchase. The established favorites in the line of fairy tales ought never to be allowed to get out of print, for the newlv-written ones do not approach the old ones in merit. Hints To Inventors, In the absence of all other proof, the date of the patent will be taken as the date of applications and the date of assignment. The government of the TTnitod has no right to use a patented invention ( without compensation to the owner of 1 the patent I A corporation may bind itself by a contract not under its corporate seal when the law does not require the contract to be evidenced by a sealed instrument The second clause of rule 93 has no application to such a case, the patent there referred to being one which was granted before the pending application was filed. Such contracts may be executed by an agent, and the rule is that the agent should, i» the body of the contract, name the corporation as the contracting body, and sign as its agent or officer. Assignments of patents are not required to be under seal. The statute simply provides that “every patent, or any interest therein, shall be assignable in law by an instrument in writing.” The inventor cannot relieve himself of the consequences of the prior public use of his patented invention by assigning an interest in his invention or patent to the person by whom the invention was thus used.

Where one or two conflicting applicants has inadvertently obtained a patent without notice to the other, an interference may then be declared nunc pro tunc between the application and the patent, under authority of the first clause of Rule 93. The fact that a person holds stock in a company gives him no right to its property, and the attachment of such stock in the hands of a stockholder, for a personal debt of the stockholder, does not in any way encumber the property of the company. Conflicting application under the law and the rules sustain a hostile relation each to the other, irrespective of their relative dates of filing, and the premature issue of a patent to one applicant is not conclusive either for or against the right of the other. A patent for a machine cannot be reissued for the purpose of claiming the process of operating that class of machines, because, if the claim for the process is anything more tlxan for the use of the particular machine patented, it is for a different invention. A patentee cannot claim in a patent, the same thing claimed by him in a prior patent, nor what he omitted to claim in a prior patent in which the invention was described, he not having reserved the right to claim it in a separate patent, and not having seasonably applied therefor. If a patent fully and clearly describes and claims a specific invention, complete in itself, so as to be inoperative or invalid by reason of a defective or insufficient specification, a reissue cannot be had for the purpose of expanding and generalizing the claim so as to embrace an invention not specified in the original patent. The statute of 1870, relating to reissues, authorizes the insertion of new claims, founded upon the original invention as exhibited by the specifications or drawings in reissues when the omission results from “inadvertence, accident. or mistake,” and where the claimant has not by some act or omission estopped himself from exercising the right to amend. An assignment, therefore, purporting on its face to be the contract of the corporation therein named, declaring that the consideration has been received by the company, that it is executed in pursuance of a resolution passed by the company, and purporting to be signed by Smith, President of the company, who declares that lie signs ar the act of the company, is transfer of said company, and not the personal deed of Smith. If a person employed in the manufactory of another, while receiving wages makes experiments at the expense and in the manufactory of the employer, has his wages increased in consequence

of the useful results of his experiments, makes the article invented, and permits his employer to use it, no compensation ! for its use being paid or demanded (for more than two years), and then obtains > a patent for it, the patent is invalid and ' void. The Goneness of the Past. ' [Detroit Free Preu.] “What 1 was gwine to remark,” said Brother Gardner, president of the Lime Kiln club, as the rattling of hoofs died away on the calm evening air, “was to de effeck dat Prof. January Bunlieam, of Mississippi, am waitin’ in de ante-room to address dis meetin’ on de subjeck ob ‘De Goneness ob de Past.’ De Professor am not only known all ober de kentry fur his theories on astronomy, but he am de only man in America who kin skin a woodchuck in seben minutes by de watch.” In about five minutes the stranger made his appearance and was greeted with a burst of applause, which upset the water-pail and filled the shoes of eight or ten of the nearest members. On taking the platform he was introduced by the President, handed a piece of slippery elm to keep his throat moist during his oratory, and he then bowed and began: “My dear fret's, whar am de past? Look fur it under de bed, down cellar, up sta rs, in de wood-box, or whar you wifi, and you cannot find it Why? Kase it am gone. It has slipped away like a streak ob grease runnin’ acrost de kitchen floo’, an' it will nebber, nebber return. (Sighs from all over the hall.) Do you meet Plato as you go up de street? Do you fin’ Cicero waitin' at de ferry dock? Do you h’ar of Diogenes hangin’ round de Union Depot to work de string game on some greenhorn? Not any. Dey belongs to do past an’ gone. Dey sleep in de dimness ob odder centuries. Whar am de glory of de Roman empire? Whar am Oseear an' Brutus an’ Casius! Let de dust ob de past answer. (Much blowing of noses.) “My frien’s, de past am not de fucher any more dan day after to-morrer am de day before yesterday. As time fades so does glory" fade. " To-day you may march at de head ob de pureesshun, yer hat on yer ear an' a red sash tied 'round yer body—to-morrer ye may lie in jail fur borrowin’ somebody’s woodpile to keep i yer feet warm. (Sly and suspicious winks all over the room). Do not prize ' de present too highly—do not forget de warnings of de past. We cannot recall de past, but we can look back an’ see whar’ de grocer gin’ us short weight on codfish, an' whar we took advantage ob a cloudy day to pass a twenty-cent piece oil fur a quarter. (Cheers and applause.) “My hearers, we should not live fur de past, but fur de fucher. What am it to us as we riz up in de mawnin’ wheder Casar met his mudder-in-law at de de- j pot or forbid her his house? What am I it to ns as we retire to our humble ■ couches fur de night wheder de orators of Athens greased deir butes wid lard or went bar’foot? As we sit on a box in de ; alley to consume our noon-day lunch we car’ not wheder Brutus dyed his goatee or was clean-shaved. (Cries of ‘No! no!’) : But de fucher am big wid events. Today we may be sorrow. If so, we hope i dat de morrow will bring elam-chowder. (Great smaking of lips.) If de present > am full of biles and chilblains an’ heartaches, de fucher may be as bright as a cat’s eyes shinin’ out of a bar’l on a dark night Nebber look back on de past. It am as much gone as a three-cent piece i paid out fur Fourth ob J uly lemonade. Nebber disjiair ob de fucher. When de heart is heaviest, de fire lowest an’ work ! de skeercest, you may find a lost wallet, ! or strike some butcher willin’ to give credit. (W’hoops of applause). My ; freu’s, lam dim. Thanking you severely for your infectious distraction, I rambulate to my seat wid odoriferous feelings of concentration towards each and ebery one ob you. ” During the wild excitement which followed the close of the masterly effort, Samuel Shin and Trustee Pullback fell tnct not- oeovc in mu vu iuumhhUC embraces, and seven windows had to be lowered to let out the odor of overdone mule steak. The Mysteries of Shoes and Stockings. Throwing the shoe after the wedded pair was no doubt intended as an augury of long life to the bride. In Yorkshire | the ceremony of shoe-throwing is termed “thrashing,” and the older the shoe the greater the luck; and in some parts of Kent the made of procedure is somewhat peculiar. Alter the departure of the bride and bridegroom the single ladies are drawn up in one row, j and the bachelors in another. When : thus arranged, an old shoe is thrown as j far as possible, which the fair sex run \ for; the winner being considered to have j the liest chance of marriage. She then ; throws the shoe at the gentlemen, when . the first who gets it is believed to have i the same chance of matrimony. A somewhat similar custom prevails in Germany, where the bride's shoe is thrown among the guests at the wedding, the person who succeeds in catching it being supposed to have every prospect of a speedy marriage. Many auguries are still gathered from the shoe. Thus young girls on going to bed at night place their shoes at right angles to one another, in the form of the letter T, repeating this rhyme:

“Hoping this night my trae love to see, I place my shoes in the form of a T.” As in the case of the stocking great importance is attached by many superstitious persons as to which shoe they put on first, in allusion to which Butler, in his “Hndibras,” says: “Angnstus, having b’ oversight Put on his left shoe ’fore his right, Had like to to have been slain that day By soldiers mutin’ing for pay.” An old writer, speaking of Jewish customs, tells us that “some of them observe in dressing themselves in the morning, to put on the right stocking and right shoe first without tying it Then afterward to put on the left shoe, and so return to the right; that so they may begin and end with the right one, which they account to be the most fortunate.” A suffolk doggerel respecting the “wear of shoes” teaches us the following: “Tip at the toe. live to «ee woe; Wear at the ride, live to be a bride; Wear at the ball, live to spend all; Wear at the heel, live to save a deal." Among some of the many charms in which the shoe has been found efficacious may be mentioned one practiced in England, where the peasantry, to cure cramp, are in the habit of laying their shoes across to avert it, A Question of Etiquette. [Chicago Tribune.) In a French journal: “When a lady receives a visit from a gentleman, ought she to rise or remain seated when the visitor enters and when he takes his leave?" If the lady lives in Washington, says an American paper, she will rise without regard to Parisian etiquette aud accompany trim as far as the hail, to see that he dees not carry off a ten-dollar ivory handled umbrella in place of Die dollar-and a-half cotton one usually carried bv visiting statesmen. A Sunday Toy. [Texas Siftings.) ' An Austin clergyman, on hie way home from church, stopped hie carriage to rebuke a boy who was industriously firing off a toy pistol. “Don’t you know it is wrong to fire off a toy pistol on Sunday.” “It isn’t wrong to fire off this toy pistol on Sunday?” “Why not?” “Because I bought it with the money ma gave me to put in the contribution box. This is a Sunday toy, this is,” replied the boy playfully shooting a hole in the clergyman’s stove pipe hat, before he could get out of range.

The Village Postmaster. A village postmaster wrote, to the postmaster general: “A man’s wife | dropped a letter in this office addressed ' to another man. The husband suspects something wrong. Shall I deliver the letter to him?” The postmaster general answered that the husband could not get the letter in that way. Nowhere is vigilance so eternal as in ‘ the village postoffioe- The postmaster ■ carries the epistolary affairs of his I coutitueucy in his head. He scents a ! ' clandestine correspondence as readily as a rat scents roast cheese. He knows exactly who drops every letter in the ' \ box and when a woman sends one “ad- ■ dressed to another man,” in the interest i of morality he does something, Practice and concentration of mind enable him to keep posted not only as to who write# the letters which pass through his hands, but what they write about He excels any- mind-reader or clairvoyant in the remarkable art of reading a letter without breaking the seal. The size, style, weight and general appearance of a missive help him to determine its contents. Ho makes a study of his patron’s faces when they receive and deposit letters, and goes about puffed up like a balloon with secret knowledge of bis neighbors’ affairs. A chirography he is unfamiliar with is asubjectof speculation and sometimes of uneasiness to the village postmaster. He feels injured when a stranger sends a letter through tris office. He enjoys the embarrassment of the lovers whose precious exl change of endearments pass through his hands. When he meets one of them he throws into his eyes a look of knowing I all things and telling nothing, so long as he is treated with proper respect He is the marplot who frustrates many an elopement by dropping a significant word into the ear of the girl’s father. He precipitates many a’scandal by intimating that there are things which had better not be told; and when it comes to wisdom in cardiac affairs the record- ! ing angel’s book can hardly keep pace with him. He is always on the side of high morality. When it comes to a : question of a man’s wife writing to ' “another man” the postmaster shirks nothing which will bring the guilty parties to grief and incite a fuss. He will telegraph the postmaster general, detain the letter, or do anything except keep still and send the letter on its way. Tn his observing eye individual rights are of no consequence and public morality everything. He is a feature of individual life both terrible and indispensable. Genius and Beauty. It is an admitted fact that genius and beauty are rarely found in the same person. The handsomest man of London society in the opening of the present century was Count Dorsey, but he was in every other point very inferior. The chief soldier of tire age (Wellington) was deformed by his prodigious Roman nose. Southey was always distinguished for the same feature, which, indeed, was of the most unparalleled extent. Pope was partially deformed, and of course, was a ready object for a caricaturist. Hence he speaks of the “libelled person and distorted shape.” Another reference to his personal defects is as follows: ••There are who to my per*»>n pay their court, I cough like Horace, and though lean, am short; Aminos’ great son one shoulder had too high, Such Ovid s nose—and. sir. you have an eye, ( Go on,obliging creature—bid me sea All that disgraced my betters met in me.” Byron had a handsome face, but his 1 club-foot was a crushing blow to his pride, and the self-consciousness of such a defect seemed never to abate. This is illustrated by the following incident: One night, as Byron and some friends left the theatre, one of the "link-boys" volunteered to illuminate the way, "expecting the usual fee. “This way, my lord,” exclaimed the light-bearer, uttering the title at random. “How does ho know you are a lord?” asked one of his friends. formed.” Walter Scott was a man of fine personal appearance, but he, too, was lame —having been injuredin childhood— and walked with a peculiar limp. When Lady Bleasington first met him she exclaimed: “Why, sir, have you got hurt?" “Yes,” was the reply; “about fifty years ago.” Campbell, the author of “Pleasures < of Hope.” though a small man. was con- € sidered handsome, but his life was a 1 failure, and its miseries afford a painful ’ contrast with personal beauty. It is 1 probable, however, that Burns was the nearest approach to manly beauty that authorship ever produced. Walter ' Soott, who met him once, and once only —said that “his eyes literally glowed,” and added that, having seen most of the distinguished men of that age, none of them had such eyes as Burna. The Scientific American savs: “An invention that will be appreciated by travelers who play chess en voyage is that reported from Berlin of an iron I chess-board, with magnetized men, that will hold in place, no matter how often the ship or the car rolls over.” When a ship rolls over a few times, or when a I ear gets to the bottom of an embankment, we can imagine how much a traveler will appreciate an iron chessboard with magnetized men.—[Texas Siftings. Many of our American girls will be surprised to learn that the Princess Louise frequently makes her pastry—and makes it well, too. On one occasion, some apricot tarts of her making being praised by a guest, the royal lady wrote out the recipe, with the words underlined: “If you desire to have an apricot tart well cooked, al ways make it with an upper crust.” The story has a point, and the j point is that one can never know how to. do a thing too well. The gum of the palmetto, which if* found j in an abundance in Florida, makes uh good if not better m-cilage than gum arabic. ,//<dh I V SUNNY SLOPE “U W "Mt. HANDMADE.

Speak Gently. A young lady went out for a walk but forgot to tak,e her puree with her. Presently ahe met a little girl with a basket on her arm. “Please, miss, will you buy something from my basket?" said the jirl, showing a variety of book-marks, watch-cases, needle-books, etc. “I am sorry I can’t buy anything today,” said the young lady “I haven’t any money with me. Your things look very pretty.” She stopped a moment and spoke a few kind words to ths girl, and then as she passed, she said again, "I am sorry I can’t buy anything from you to-day.” “O, miss,” said the little girl, “you've done me just as much good as if you hed. Most persons that I meet aay, “Get away with you! but you have spoken kindly to me and I feel a heap ktetter.” . That was “considering the poor." How IjtUe it coats to speak kind words, and how much they are worth. If we have nothing else to give let us at least give love and sympathy. It honeat fame awaits the truly good; if, setting aside the ultimate success, excellence alone is to be considered, then was his fortune as proud as any to be found in the records of our ancestry. —Lucan.
