Wives of the Khediye.

Julia Ward Howe describes a visit to
the wives of the khediye of Egypt as
follows: The day before yesterday was
the first day of Bairam, a great Hoslem
festival, something like our new years
Gay. On this day we we're allowed to
visit the three princesses, wives of the
khedive. We had been admonished to
wear our best clothes, and, if possible to
avoid black, as the Egyptians are very
superstitious about visits from people
wearing that hue. My daughter, fortu-
nately, had dress of lilac silk, which
was not unsuitable to the occasion.
was obliged to appear in black velvet,
modified by white bonnet, which though
hastily improvised, had gay and festive
appearance. We were also told to wear
all our jewelry, which was not very la
borious thing to do. So we went, and a
row of black eunuchs stood before the
door of the palace. Two of them helped
us to alight. Having crossed the thresh

wives, of whom the third one, also much
the youngest and prettiest, spoke French

brought IN porcelain cups, the stand for

Then with profound courtesying, we took
our leave. In the great hall below sew

of porcelain set with diamonds, filed with
a sour-sweet spiced drink, which we were

also carried napkins with golden fringes.

The Trademark Law Invalid.

BY deciding on Monday that the statute
providing for the registry of trademarks
and prescribing a criminal p enalty for their
fraudulent use is unconstitutional in whole
and in part, the Supreme Court at Washing
ton upset an extensive system of mercantile
rights at home and abroad. The subject
came before the court on a division Of opin-
ion in the New York Circuit Court End an
appeal from decision IL Ohio. A District
Court in the west some months ago decided
that the act for the registry of trademarks
was unconstitutional, but no appeal wes
taken, end the psteDt-ofice at Washin gton
went on with its worn. The decision by
the Supreme Court apparently cuts up
the present system by the roots. The ex-
listing law provides for the registry of trade.
marks at Washington On the payment of q
fee OF twenty-five dollars, and gives the
owner OF q trademark more efficient protec-
ton than is enjoyed even by patentee A
liberal provision of the law allowed the
privilege of registry to the trademarks
owned by the citizens OF any country
which permitted registry to American
trademarks. Prior to the passage of the
law the recognition of foreign tr ade.msrks
had been secured By treaties with some
European countries, and conventions COW
ering the subject have been negotiated with
nearly all European countries since 1870,
ed. So far as foreign and domestic rights
in trademarks are secured by federal regis
try they will be impaired by this decision,
but it raust not be overlooked that the right
of property in trademarks is recognized by
the common Law. Every trader aud man u
facturer has 6 right, which the courts
will protect, in the distinctive mark
by which ne designates his goods. The col
lapse of the special registry act for uncon-
stitutionaiity. simply makes the protection
OF trademarks more difficult, BUTT does not
deprive them of value, and the law still
stands ready to guard customers against the
fraudulent use Of trademarks. There will
be general interest in learning the grounds
of this decision. The federal statute was
passed in the attempt apparently TO aasim-
late the rights of invention and trademark,
two widely different things, and was cur
rently based on the power given congress to
provide for patent and copyright and to
regulate commerce.
Many valuable trademarks are owned by
proprietors of medicines. For instance,
Perry Davis & Son own the right to name
Pain Killer By originality and long use, and

Alaska Winters.

In winter, from what I can learn, the
storms are mostly rain, at q temperature
of thirty.five or forty degrees, and
strong winds, which, when they sweep
the channels lengthwise, LASH them into
waves, and carry the salt scud far into
the woods. The long nights are then
gloomy enough to most people, and the
value of q snug home, with blazing,
cracking, yellow cedar fire, and book
covered tables, may be finely appreciated.
Snow falls quite frequently, but never
to any great depth, or to lie long. Only
once, since the settlement of Fort Wran-
gel, the ground was covered to the depth
of four feet. The ordinary depth any
where near sea-level is said to be sloppy
condition. The mercury seldom falls
more than five or six degrees below the
freezing point, unless the wind blows
steady from the mainland. Back from
the coast, however, beyond the noun
tains, the winter months are intensely
cold. At Glenora, on the Stickene
river, less than 1000 feet above the level
Of the sea, temperature of from thirty
to forty degrees below zero is not un-
common.
