A man named paries has patented a
device for preventing bens from settlna.
comprlslnK a hood or blinder to keep the
hen from seeing to the right or left or
upwaid. Tha Inventor slate that a lion
will never fly where It cannot first look.
The device thus keeps the hen from flying
into tho nest for setting purposes. Shan
ahan has patented an electric egg-holding
device "designated to break up or reduce
I to a mir.ilnium the practice of egg picking
so prevalent among domeetlc fowls.";
I Among other patents of Interest to fartn

I UeVlrea for teaching milking. His inven
tion comprlsea a receptacle shaped like
the udder and teats of a cow. 1 lie pend
ant teats are soft and compressible, so
as to Imitate the yielding nature of a

Preserving Ike l)ed.
Joxeph Karwowskl seeks' to outdo the
ancient Kfryptians. and proposes to pre.
serve the dead by "first sunounding the
corpus ivith a coating of sodium Hlllcato
(water glass), and then surrounding the
sums with an outer coating of molten
glass." Tou can preserve 'the entirs figure

In ISM a patent was granted fur a tape
worm trap, consisting of an oblong bos.
three-fourths of an li.oli long and one
fourth of an Inch In diameter, and having
rounded enda and an opoulng In Its aids.
Insida the box Is a eprlng-prestW part
having a aerrated edg. A bait, that Is. food
fir the worm, la placed In the trap. A
string Is attached to the tiap, After fast
ing long enough to make the worm hungry
the patient swallows the trey. The worm
puts its head into the trap through the
aid oiening and attacks the bait, move

Vart et tha box so lint the worm is
caught. Tba patient then pulls the trap
and t?".e worm out of hla "great wlthlu."
The writer, however, has found no authen

mesns of this trap.
Claim 1 of a patent granted to a Mr.

Mr. Thomas Tourney purposes to pre
vent the robbing of mall and express cars
by having the platforms where the rob
bers must board the train provided with
steam nozzles, whereby a let of steam

ber as he tries to get on the. train.
A a Alarm Worth While.
Mr. George J. Heaman has proved him
self a benefactor of those hard sleepers
who find It necessary to wake at a cer
tain hour. Mr. Heaman, realising that an
uhirm clock often falls of its purpose lu
waking people, or at least In compelling
them to get up, has Invented a bed which
v 111 oeicome this difficulty by actually
ejecting the occupant of the bed, so that
the occupant will not only be awakened,
but must necessarily arise. Mr. Seaman's
device comprises a bed having a portion
or all of the bottom hinged and sup
ported by loose legs, and lever mechanism
tor retaining the legs erect and support
ing the bed bottom and a clockwork
mechanism adapted to release the lever
ininii.uilaiii und trip the legs, and thug
dump the occupant of the bed on the floor
al .the appointed time.
.MesHi'H. lounge and J en We have invented
and pati'iited what they term a "burial
shoo." This shoe Is extensible lengtfiwtse,
to that It can be used for feet of different
lengths. The shoe Is cheaply made, but
tt ' good looker," and adapted to save the
builul of a $i pair of shoes.
.Mr. Lightwardt has Inventatd a bootjack
m:td In two parts, hinged together to
jitu up Into the outlines of a revolver.
il.i; advantages of this device are ap
parent. After removing his boots the utter
may fold up his bootjack and put It under
his pillow, and be prepared fur burglars
without any danger of hurting anyone.

A hundred years back may seem a
long while ago, but when you remember
that there are men living today whose
fathers say General Washington, a century
does not seem so long a time after all.
And up to the time of Washington 100
years did not mean very much to the hu
man race. The world moved very slowly.
Whan Washington died, in 1TW, people
were using the same sort of appliances
and doing tlie same things in the same
way they did in 16D3 and even in VV3. In
former years, if a man could have re
turned to earth at the end of lot) years,
ha would not have been very much sur
prised at any of the changes that had
taken place during his absence. But if
Washington or Franklin, who died leas
than a century ago, wers to coins back to
earth now,, ha would not know where he
was. Tho' world lias changed more In
the last 100 years than In any thousand
years that have gone before.
To get some Idea of the wonderful
changea that have taken place, let us go
back to Thanksgiving day In 1110 and note
how many, many things our greatgrand
parenta did not have which we have to
day. It will not only astonish us, but
It will also make us realize how much we
have to be thankful for.
Limited Observance.
In the first place, there maa no Thanks
giving day In 1M0. except In New Kngland.
It was only a little over forty years ago
that the people all over (he I'nlted Ktates
began to celebrate the day. Before that,
If one Old not live In Boston or very close
to It he probably would never have eaten
a Thanksgiving dinner. Hut even those
'who were fortunate enough to live In New
rJnplsnU did not have anything like the
i variety of good things for dinner that we
'' have today. Of course, they had turkey
and pumpkin pie and onions ami cranberry
sau.-e and potatoes; but the- did not have
' tomatoes or corn or peas or string beans
or beets or asparagua or any of tiia other
canned vegetables that we are accustomed
'to eating during tha winter months. There
' were no canned goods of any kind. There
' were no tin cans. Neither were there any
I cnia to bring fresh fruits and vegetables
lilxi strawberries snl tomatoes and 1st
i tui-e from the south and from Californls.
' In tact, thera were then no such p. aces
In i ne United ti isles as 1'lorUi . and Tr.ut
and California. 7'hey srrs all vt ti.ein
wale lauds. They belongud to k.nlanJ
and France snl Mexico,
oiangea. bacsjias, p.nosptioa, giaxis
fruit,- olives, Malaga grapes and other
tropical fruits which arc so familiar to
all of us, were never seen In the markets
of 1810. Boys and girls of that day only
heard about them from travelers or read of
them in books.
I Kitchen Facilities.
Dinners were cooked In fireplaces. There
were no ranges. There were no gas stoves;
no oil stoves; no ooal stoves; no cook
stoves of any kind. Housewives had no
baking powder, no yeast cakes, no self
raising flour, no granulated sugar, no
flavoring extracts, no ground spices, no
soda, no potted meats, no catsup, no pre
pared breakfast foods, no soda crackers,
no macaroni. AU the coffee had to be
roasted and ground at home. Housekeep
ers then had very few of the conveniences
that they have today. They had no run
ning wajler In the house or stationary wash
tubs or clothes wringers or washing ma
chines or wire clothes lines. Neither had
they refrigerators or ice cream freeiers or
egg boaters or waffle Irons or meat grind
ers or carpet sweepers or ammonia or
borax or gasoline or moth balls or fly
paper or fly screens. And they had no
matches, and they had no electrlo lights
or gas light, and no kerosene.
There were no sewing machines in miO.
All clothes were made by hand. There
were no ready-made things of any kind;
not even shoes or hats. Nearly every
family spun Its own wool and flax and
made Its own thread and yarn and cloth.
The clothes for the boys and girls and the
men and women were made at home. Ho,
also, were the carpets, the candles, the
soap, the mattresses, and the chairs and
tables. There were no furniture factories;
no ready-made desks or bookcases or bed
steads or anything else. Much things as
were not made at home were made to
order by the shoemaker or the hatter or
I lie tailor or the cabinet maker. Clothing
store, shoe stores, lmt stores, furniture
stores were unheard of.
Things They lilda't Have.
In 110 nobody wore rubbers. That was
because there were no rubbers. There wore
no rubber goods of any kind overshoes,
waterproofs, raincoats, rubber balls., pencil
erasers, hut waiur bags, or anyjilng of
that sort. There was no garden hose; no
fire hore. There weia no water mains;
there were no flra engines. When a house
taught fire, men ptit It out, if they could,
by throning bucketa of water on the flames
I'll eiila. es were tue only mesns (if keep
ing a house warm. There wt-re no fur
naces: no coal stoves. Here and there a
wealthy family owned a wood burning
Hove, but that was a rare luxury., ttteam
heating and hot water heating were un
til earned of. Ho, also, were kitchen ranges
and hot water boilera. There were no bath
tubs; there was no plumbing, and the towns
had ro sewers. And r.nt only had they no
sewers, but they also had no street cars.
Kven horse tars were enknown. All tit)
travel was rtoiir on foot or by means of
hoisea and carriages. And if any one
ventured out at night he carried his own
light with him a lantern with a candle in
it; for there wens no street lamps. Kiee
trtelty and gas and ooal oil bad out yet
come into' use. The moon was the best
light a town could have at night.
Of course, there wore no airships
automobiles of motorcycles In 1810. Neither
were there any byclcles, nor any trolley
cars, and there weren't even any railroads.
The locomotive had not yet been Invented,
and the steamboat whs being tried for the
first time as an experiment.
Modes of Travel.
All travel was done on horseback or by
stage coach, and those who crossed the
ocean did it as Columbus did in a sailing
vessel. Jt was a three days' Journey from
Philadelphia to Washington. Now you can
make the trip in three hours. It took
nearly a week for a letter to go from
New Tork to Koston-i-ss long a time as it
now requires to send a letter to San Fran-,
Cisco or to London, and the cost was six
times as great. There wera no postage
stampa. The person who received a letter
I paid for it In cash accord ng to ths dls-
i tance i.t had come. And thre wera no
envelopes and no letter hoxee. letters were
simply . folded and the corners held . to
gether with sealing wax, and the address
was written on the outside of the letter,
i As there were no railroads, news traveled
, only aa f ivt as a horse could run or a
j ship could sail. There were no wires to
carry message, for there was no tele
graph and there was no telephone. Conse
, quently there were not many newspapers,
; and such as there were did not have much
jnews to print. Most of them wera Issued
' only once a week, and such news of the
world as they contained was from several
1 days to six months old. All printing was
done by hand on wooden presses.
I Satisfied vtllh I. ess.
The paper was made from rags. All the
)Wrlting was done with quill pens tha
bony end of a feather plucked from a
goose. There were no steel pens, no gold
pens, no fountain pens, no manufactured
lead pencils, no blotters, no typewriters,
iletures In books of persons or places were
all mads from sketches drawn by hand and
engraved on wood. There were up photo
graphs; no cameras; no kodaks. There
was no such w ord aa photograph. , Those
wl:o wanted portraits of themselves were
obliged to hire an artist to paint . their
pictures.
Out we must remember that lu 1810 our
great-grandparents wera perfcutly satis
fied and contented without any ot theao
things. They thought themselves very well
off with what they had, and those who ob
served Tanksglvlng day made It a special
point to offer earnest thanks to provi
dence for their many blessings.
Surely, therefore, if they could find cause
for thanksgiving, how much more thank
ful ought we to ba In the midst of all the
blessings of tlie age In which wa live.
And what will It ba la 2010? who own
