Unman nrl fhn Interests of Worsen and the IF MAR WOMAN Hamy Devices to Beautify Her Sex and Relieve Pain--Some Have Won Big Fortunes. Up to Jan. 1 of the present year, says a special writer In the I'lttsburB Dispatch, there were close to 6,000 pat ents registered In the United States patent olllco by women, and most of them aro us unique as they are InRenl ous. They cover the whole ranee of utility, and after a close Investigation It Is hard to determine In what particu lar line they excel. Whilst cosmetics and "beautlflers" may have been their forte, their Inventive genius has ren dered such Invaluable service In the way of hospital beds, chairs, pillows nnd other appliances for Invalids, that It may be safely said they aro as mind ful of the sick nnd suffering as they are fond of the beautiful. Among those patents applied for bv women for beautifying the person is one to make artificial dimples. A small spot on the cheek or chin Is to be smeared wlh colorless shelluc arnlsh mixed with nlue, and the center of the spot Is to be pressed firmly with the point of a pencil until the Blue "sets." The stiffened indentation thus retains the exact shape of a dimple, and a lit tle complexion powder dusted carefully over will completely conceal the var nish compound. The subject Is warned not to smile too abruptly, but Is as sured that with gentle usage it may last a whole night. This dimple process, It Is added, "Is only applicable to thos-e who have soft, velvety, plump faces." FIRST PATKNT TO A WOMAN. The .irst Invention patented by a wo man and recorded In the patent olllce In Washington was a device for "straw weaving with silk thread." It was awarded to Mary Kles and Issued May C, 1S09. Six years passed before anoth er lady pulled the latch string of the patent office in the person of Mary Brush, who invented "the corset" and received her certificate July 21, 1815. The women came along very slowly nt first, and from the time that Miss Kies obtained the first patent granted to a woman In this country only nine more were granted to women until Miss Elizabeth Oeam Invented the "globe lor teaching geography" In the schools, Jan. 12, 1831, or less than one every two years. In the year 1SU0 the num ber of patents Issued to women aver aged about one every other day. In 1896 this average was Increased to a few moro than one for every day in the year. I met II. C. ICveret, the patent at torney, the other evening. He was seated In his llbrar at the rear of his otllces In the Paik building. This room contains the complete records of the patent olllce from 17')3 up to the present tlnv Mr. Kvert said: "This Is turely the age of invention. It has been the principal factor, the moving spirit In the wonderful progress of the past r,0 years. When you speak of patents re member that according to nn estimate made by the commissioner of patents, from six to seven-eighths of the capital of the entire manufacturing business in the United States, which Is nearly $6,000,000,000, Is based on patents direct ly or indirectly. "But, Mr. Kvert, how do women dis pose ot their patents?" I queried. "Some of them," he replied, "sell them outright, others manufacture the pat ent themselves and sell the product to dealers: a few employ uger.ts who sell It from house to house- others place them on royalties with large manufac turing concerns. I have a client, Mrs. W. H. Balrd, of the Kast End, who realised over $18,000 tno first year as her profits on the famous 'Iron City dish washer.' She manufactures her own dish-washers and gets orders from all parts of the world. Mrs. lialtd assured me not long since that she had made $1,610 clear in the last S, days; not so bad for a woman entirely Inexperienced In business. She doesn't cam ass at all; people come and send for their washers, nnd every washer that goes out sells two or three more. Anyone can sell an article that everyone wants to buy. Among th'o&o who manufacture their own Inventions la Mrs. Froldeveaux, of Allegheny, who Invented a KcIs-ors sharpener, which she manufacturll at $9 per gross and sold them at 25 cents per piece. It la not necess-ary to add that she has become rich." "Mr, Eveit, havo ydu ever noticed any striking eharacteilstlcs of peculiar ities not usually observed in other wo men among your clients?" "Well," said he, "thy are, as a rule, rather domestic, of btronar character, and almost all of that class known us woman's rights' people." "Have there been any very Important and profitable patents Invented by wo men?" "Most certainly," replied Mr. Evert very seriously. "Some of the most practical and profitable Inventions and improvements during the latter por tion of this century lire due to the geni us of women directly, not to speak ot the Invaluable and untold aid they have lent to their husbands and friends by the benign' influence they wield over the sterner sex. THE WIFE OF THE WIZARD. "Mrs. Edison has always been a source of great encouragement to the great Inventor In his labors. She Is In complete sympathy jvJtn his work and Is pardonably proud and supremely happy over the wonderful success he has achieved In the field of science. Not only Is she a loving mother and a dutiful and affectionate wife, but also a helpmate. She reigns queen of the Edison home In Llewellyn Park, while her hUBband wields, the magic wand of genius In his laboratory at Orange, N, J, She often visits him In his labora tory, even assisting him In his experi ments. I know of occasions when he Is after some Important secret, hidden In the bowels of science, and his ex tended Investigations necessitate his remaining at his work for days nnd nights continuously, she has remained with him the entire time, sleeping on a cot near work bench, Surely such devotion and Interest must be of the greatest assistance, "The records of the patent ofTlcd teem with the names of women who have by their Industry and genius produced pome great Invention. The first cash register on a street car was Invented by a woman. She becamp very wealtny and now, I believe, lives in one of the PRESIDENT WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT NESSEE CENTENNIAL. A f lilviof ' kt. a I Nnshvllle, Tenn., April ?3. Mr. V-xn Leer Klrltmnn. of Nahvlllo, president cf the woman's derailment of the Tennes see centennial, Is a southern woman by birth. Kiom the school s.r,o enteied f-o-cletj, wherein she won distinction as ono of the most beautiful belles of the south. She Is the daughter of Caswell .U.ion Thompson, only son of Jacob Thomas, secretary of the Interior rniler President Uuchunun. She was married eleven ye irs ago. Thcrvh born In Xuhvllle, the flrt four j ears of her life were spent In Cuba. In her native city she received her eatly education under the Eptaropnl Sister- of St. Mary, aftirvvurd pursuing a coui-o of study at Fairmont college, Jlonteagle. At the age of 16 she went to school In Paris for two years, traveling the following jear thioimh the principal cities of Europe. The enthusiasm with which Alt". Klrkman assumed the leadership of the woman's most beautiful suburbs of the city of Paris. She placed It In the hands of a lively manufacturer and tecelved a royalty of 25 cents a day from each and every car In which they were attached, women aie beginning to take a great deal of Interest In electricity, too. The Westtnghouse Genet ai electric com pany has nn electrical expert in Miss Bertha G. Lamm, of Pittsburg. Al though not yet 21 years of ngo. I am told, she has completely mastered the science, as far as It has progressed. She has Invented many devices pertain ing to the business of the General Electric, which aro In use at Pittsburg. You will remember she had charge of nn Important electrical exhibit at the recent exposition of the National Elec trical association in New York." 3, rrom tho Washington Star. Here Is a dish called "sponge pud ding," ot which southerners are very fond. Beat seven eggs till they are light as seafoam. Add six tablespoon fuls of sugar and beat four minutes fu riously. Sift into this seven tnble spoonfuls of sweet corn meal, one tea spoonful of salt, grated find of half a lemon and Its juice, freed from seeds. Stir quickly and bake In sponge cake pans, serving hot with hot sauce, or creamed butter and sugar, with nut meg. It Is a reproach to this generation of women that they know so little about the use of the needle. Needlework does not commend Itself to the young women of today. They outgrew the needle about the time the "higher edu cation" for women came Into vogue. In these days of cheap ready-made garments a girl thinks she can clothe herself quite acceptably without know ing how to sew. It seems such a pity tnat the dainty occupation should have gone Intn iMsuse. One grows as tired or sh irte petticoats and nlght- t'reb'- ne does of baker's bread and ( 1 corn. They nil bear just about ti same relation to the origin al and real thing, too. The very happi est hours of a young mother's life are those spent In setting dainty stitches In her darling's daintier cltfthes, and the woman who can't sew need never hope to have her grandchildren unroll from Its silver wrappings the time yellowed baby dress that "mamma wore" If grandmamma simply took two or three of "grnndpappa's hard-earned dollais" and bought tho dress at a down-town shop. The thing that glvs the little garments their value In af ter years Is the pretty sewing, the fiost-like embroidery or the delicate real lace made by skilled hands of grandmother or mother. Shop-made goods are for people who live in a hurry und have not time to enjoy tho homi-mado article. Mothers with hemes and daughters ought to accus tcm themselves to the real things, and not depend upon the make-believe. Girls who go to the shop and buy their underclothes and dresses do not Kike the same care of those articles of attire that they would under dif ferent circumstances. They argue that because those things were ' cliap" they are entitled to fresh at tire twice as often. "Ready-made," "ready-cooked," "ready-furnished" and ' canned delleaclet" are playing sad havoo with real home life. Marry In haste and repent at leisure, Is a trite old saying that uugments In truth each year. It applies with equal torco. to bothyoung men nnd young women, but It must be confessed that parents have a much larger part In causing these unhappy marriages than they are credited with. Young peoplo aie dlfllcult to handle between the uges of fifteen nnd twenty-two. They aro inclined to overrate their Importance In the household economy, and the chief aim of many parents la to nip this growing Importance. Like much ot the tree pruning In our beautiful parks, tho nipping process Is biutally done, with no care for environment, or thought of future symmetry. Quite often the child gets a rude setback that stunts Us sen sibilities, and makes It self conscious and awkward. Then tho homo life Is not what It should be. No boy or girl is going to remain nt homo If that homo is dull and all healthful amusement Is frowned upon, because "pa and ma are too old to have such frivolity going on," or some like Invalid excuse. Youth must be amused, and If It cannot be amused at noma you mav Uu mm u will TEN- department of tho Tennes?o centennial Insured Its success. The nucleus of tho I necessary funds wus obtained by Issuing u woman's edition ot a Nnshvllle paper. Eevorul times the Interested women have taken charge of stores for a day, the con- vlderablc Incomes from this source be ing Increased by the proceeds of various I entertainments. Throughout the vvorki the full gcnral has shown great executive ability. The room which Mrs. Klrkman will occupy m tne woman s building being frescoed In blue shades, with gar lands of pink roses und forget-me-nots In relief. The frieze will be of of solid color und tho panels of handsome tapestries mado by women. Tho floor Is to have cov erings of rugs, while tho furnltuio will Include several elegant pieces approptlate to the uses of tho Tennesseo hostess. There will be nn excellent cafe on the roof of this building. seek It abroad, and often In question able society. Interest yourself In the pursuits of your children, lead them to make you their confidant, make your friends theirs, and see that the friends they pick up outside of your jurisdic tion are fit associates for them. A stern edict that certain friends must be dropped will bring you only bad temper and a, surety of broken com mands. Go at the matter gently, and demonstrate the general worthlessncss of the objectionable ones, and win eas ily that way. If you treat your young people as though they were reasonable human beings you will be much less liable to dilve them into marriage, w.hlch they seek in tho hope of finding happiness, but most often find they have only deepened their unhapplness. Here Is Napoleon's Idea of what a girl should learn In school and what she should know when she left school. It Is old, but as applicable today as It was a century ago. "They should be made to uccustom themselves to economy and to calculate the value of things. But In general they should all be occupied during three-quarters of the day with needlework. They should know how to make stockings and underclothing and work embroidery. In a word, they should learn all the work that belongs to a woman. A woman on coming out of Ecouen" the school to which he was referring "to take her place at tho head of a little household, should know how to make her dresses, mend the clothes of her husband, make the baby linen of her children, procure dainties for her little family by means of the pantry portion of her household duties, caie for her husband and children whenever they are sick, and know how to do it like a trained nuise." By hanging pictures low you Increase the apparent height of the room. Col ored pictures should never be hung In the hallways or on staircases unless there Is a.stront light on them. In places like that photographs, engrav ings or drawings In black and white aie best. The center of the picture, when hung, should not be much above the level of the eye, Te cord on which they are hung should be as nearly In visible as possible, and wire Is best of nil. The wall on which you hang pic tures should be of neutral tint, a shade of soft dull yellow being the best, and, If pnpeted, the figure should be Incon spicuous. Napkins should always, be folded as simply as possible on a smart dinner table. To fold them In fnntastlc shapes suggests the restaurant and cafe. The good dinner woman Is one who listens well and avoids the mistake of selng "smart." She must be quite, re sponsive, Interesting, vivacious, but she must make no attempt to monop ollzo the conversation. In fact, the word "tact" sums up the needful quali ties for a good dinner woman, and If you will search among your friends for tho woman who is most In demand you will find that "tact" is her strong stock In trade. Learn to laugh. Laugh though your heart be breaking. Have a cheery word for all comers and you will be liked by everybody. For an example In a smile that will live In history Mrs. Cleveland owns the patent. Her smile was never of tho stereotyped sort, and In It there was always welcome. But smiling Is not he whole of It; laugh out loud, If you please. It may bo artificial nt first, but It gets to bo natural after awhile. Hide your pains and aches un der that laugh. The world has troubles of Its own, and can't stop to coddle yours. The good-humored man or wo man Is always welcome, but the dys peptic or hypochondriac Is not wanted anywhere, and Is considered a public nuisance. A nice Lenten dlBh Is called "stuffed eggs." Put six eggs In a dish of hot water and boll them fifteen minutes. Drop in cold water to cool and loosen the shells. Cut them In half lengthwUo after shelling, take out the yolks, and set the whites aside. Mash the yolks to a paste, add a tablespoonful of but ter, melted, a teaspoonful of made mus 'tard, a tablespoonful of chopped pars ley', salt and a little peper.

Small Birds Baked In Swept Potatoes.-Have as many sweet potatoes, of medium size as there nn small birds. Boil them for one hour. Have the birds plucked, drawn and washed. Season them with salt and a little pepper and rub soft butter over them. Pare the sweet potatoes, and cut a thin slice from each end.

FASHION'S FREAKS AND FRILLS. Cut steel ornaments In buckles, but tons, combs and various designs In beaded effects are revived again. Delta of bias satin and black satin ribbon aro still a feature of dress, and the vvldo belt of bias satin folds drawn around a slender figure Is ono of the most becoming fancies. Belts of ribbon with buckbut an tfm hack are seen on many of tho new thin gowns, and three bands of Inch wide black velvet ribbon, spreading a little distance apart at the middle of the back, where they nrc fastened with small steel buckles, Is an other pretty belt effect. The craze for red seems to havo ex tended literally from our heads to our feet, for rumor says that we are to wear red shoes, bright "cockscomb red," and not only red, but purple and green ns well. It Is hardly credible that we are to bo Inflicted with any such barbarous Innovation In dress, but If It Is to be, the seaside summer re sort will be Just the right kind ot a place to try their shocking effects. Violets In nit tho pretty blue and pink tints, and eo natural that they look like the real article, nrc greatly favored In millinery, and while they aro perhaps the most common, they arc the most refined of all the artificial flowers. Black grenadines, In various conven tional patterns, made over colored silk aro very fashionable gowns this sea son, and the variety of fancy grena dines has no limit. One novel design l.s a. line black ground with a scroll de sign In white Bilk threads all over It. Other kinds are corded In bright colors. The English tailor-made coat has no gathers at the top ot the sleeve. It has a little fulness, which Is arranged It. small dart seams covered with fancy braiding. Many of the coats are elab orately braided, and several different kinds of braid are used on one gar ment. New York Sun. TAKE CAIli: OP CHILDltEN. Somo Things Youthful Mothers Should Inltu n Nolo of. An infant should bo given no food containing starch until It cuts Its teeth. Starchy food Include blscults.corn flour, tapioca, sago, rice, potato, etc. An in fant cannot digest any of these until Its teeth arc cut, Violent noises nnd rough' shakings or tosslngs are hurtful to a baby and should bo avoided as much as possible. Infants should never be put Into a sitting posture until they are at least three months old, when they will prob ablv sit up of their own accord. They should be carried flat In the nurse's, arms, ns, If the little back Is at all cuived, It may lead to curvature ot the spine or chest disease. Until children are six or seven years old they should have twelve hours' sleep every night. In addition to this a nap for two hours, either In the morn ing or afternoon especially In hot weather vv 111 do a great deal toward keeping them bright and well. Poulards Arc to Ho Worn. Foulards and all soft silks will bo worn during the summer. They aro printed In dainty designs and come In soft colors and In such a variety of patterns that they may serve for any purpose, from a severe shirt waist to an evening gown. Naturally a soft silk does not possess the dressy qualities of a stiff silk, but It forms the basis of many dainty frocks, elaborate with lace and velvet ribbon loops. DRAMATIC NOTES.
