revelation of st. John the Divine, which
ten thousand learned concentrations have
not yet made clear. They would rather
used plain language to express their mean
ing; they would not have crowded diff
ferent meanings into one expression. and
the meaning they would intend to convey
by any one sentence, would be the one
apparent on its face They had no object
in using ambiguous language, which could
be made to support contradictory and
unthought of hypothesis When {fgur-
atlvely, OF. course9, they spoke OF spade,

and when they declared that the right of

that their language justified such interfer
ence with that right, as is perpetuated in
the laws against concealed weapons

was whether Ireland is able to be governed
by laws made by Parliament, or by laws
known to nobody and written nowhere ex-

forced by an illegal arbitrary and self-ap-
pointed association which sought TO over
rid by organized attempts the free will of

In recent trade mark decision by tin,

In q recent trade mark decision by the
commissioner of patents, that officer des-
crlbed, trade mark as an arbitrary char
aeter or characters without special mean
ing, adopted by persons, firms, or corpor-
atiOns for the purpose of identifying the
goods manufactured by them or of which
they have the sale. Persons have the
right to adopt any device or form of words
possessing these characteristics as their
trade marks so long as public property is
not violated. In many cases, the name
of person associated with particular
trade or business carries with it the good
will of the establishment with which he
was connected. If it is the good will
simply that is sought, then it should not
be registered as a trade mark; but if the
istics of trade mark in itself, not an APP
plicant, is adopted by any person, firm or
corporation to identify their particular
goods, there is good reason why it
may not be used as trade mark and be
registered as such. On the contrary, there
may be many reasons why it may be so
used. The long use of the name of a par
ticular person with particular class of
goods manufactured by that person or in
his name serves to identify those goods
as particularly as any other character, de
vice, or collection of words. This is all
that is required to make it a legal trade
mark

suddenly seized by the foot by shark,

screamed and made brave struggle,

PRISONS are built for the safety of

danger to society ara not usually so
ready as this poor Chinanan was to go
TO prison for the good of their fellow
men. The Carson (Nev) Appea says:
A few days ago Il Chmaman was re-
leased from the state Prison after serv,
ing sentence OF three years for an
assault to kill. He WAS given twenty
i've dollars and a new suit OF clothes
and directed 10 shift for himself. Day
before yesterday the same man knocked
at the gate. and when it was opened he
thrust twenty-five dollars and a half
into the keepers hands for safe keep
ing. 1t was almost dark, and he begged
TO ho allowed to sleep in his old quar-
ters over night. He was allowed 10
take up his abode in a woodshed. and
the next morning when the roll was
called, his number, thirty-nine, was
skipped for obvious reasons. When
forty was called a man sprang from the
line dressed in prison garb and called
out, 4" You no catchee thirty-ninep' IT
was the discharged Chinaman He had
found his old striped clothes at the
wash-house. and put them on, His
civilian suit he had hidden away He
was told that he would have to go, but
he begged TO be kept, urging that his
conduct had been so good that he ought
not to be turned away, His logic was
pretty strong.
You send me out, killee somebody

Singular Identification of Surveyor,
Mark.

YESTERDAY civil engineer was run
ming and locating the lines of lot of
land below the city, and used as assist
ance a deed TO the property drawn one
hundred and twenty-one years ago. In
one section of the deed II is recorded
that tho line touches certain point
where stands beech tree, and upon
which cross mark had been made
with an ax. The engineer ran his line
to an old beech tree, and, concluding
that this was the point in question,
looked for the mark. but OF course
could not find IT, Taking an AK he cut
into the tree nc point he thought the
mark might be, and TO his surprise,
after cutting into the tree, he chipped
out block, aud there was the identical
mark referred to in the ancient doctl
ment OF one hundred and twenty-one
years ago. The mark was perfect, but
had been covered up. Az that time this
was a British, colony, and some years
before the Revolutionary War The
deed was drawn in l759.---AHgHsta Goa ,
