Women's Ingenuity. Women possess great ingenuity in adapting old contrivances to new ends, but little power for inventions. The patent office at Washington contains, it is true, many models from feminine tunds, some useful and some fantastic. For instance, one woman, who wished to combine gardening and poultry-raising, invented an auti scratching ap pliance for the feet of hens; but it is to be feared that the condi tion of the feathered flock suffer ed from lack of their customary "diet of wcrms. " Most of the popular and effective convenien ces of personal nnd domestic life have been made by men. A woman can do more things with a hairpin than a man ever could accomplish. She will pick a Jock, extract a bean from a oaoy's noBe or ear, run a string into a cur tain, hang a picture or button her shoes with the useful hairpin. But, despite her frantic demand for a practical pocket, she has not invented one; and she still washes dishes and wipes them by hand. A woman's ability to make the best of things, as she tiuds them, is a 'Mstinct charac teristic of the sex. It would be missed, sadly, if it were to be supplanted by even a high order of origiual inventiveness. For this easy, rapid adaptation of in adequate means to depired ends is applied by a woman, not only to the machinery of the house hold, but to the human forces among which she lives.
