How Old are Trade Marksi

Probably nearly as old as the industry
Of the human race. Ancient Babylon
bad property symbols, and the Chinese
claim to have had trade marks 1000
years before Christ. Gutenberg, the
very inventor Of printing, had lawsuit
about q trade mark and won IL. In the
year 1900 parliament authorized trade
marks in England, and they are recog-
nized and protected in most civilized
countries. The theory by which suit

mark is tha. its use deprives the origin.
ator of his property and deceives the
public as to the article IL stamps. In
ancient times great importance was
placed upon the marks OF individual
workmer, because, az in the case of the
armorers, valuable lives often de.
pended on the quality OF the
workmanship. One old author
complains that certain good and true
soldiers we're killed because tho work
manship of their swords aud arms was
not good, and failed them in battle"
Very early, therefore. II was found
necessary to make stringent laws
against counterieiting trade marks and
against scamped workmanship. With
out protection in this one particular,
trade would almost come TO q stand
still. because there are very few things
comparatively that can be judged at the
moment. In general, the quality Of
goods Is known By experience, and II Is
only after they have bcen In use that q
correct Judgment can DO pronounced
upon their quality. Having, then, once
found that certain workman's produc-
sions are good, We seek them again in
the market. II there are no means OF
positive Identification, the whole work
of buying becomes hap.hazard affair.

The First Live Stock in the United
States.

The following account OF the first
importation Olive stock into the United
States is taken from an old copy OF the
irish FiDmerE' Gazette: In 1910 four
COWS and bull we're. after long and
dangerous passage by sailing vessel,
landed In Virginia from Ireland. These
we're the frrt domestic cattle seen in
America. In 1925 eighteen ewes and
two rams were introduced as a novelty
into New York. by the Dutch West
India company. The first horses landed
In any part Of North America were
carried over TO Florida by CAbeca de
vaca in 1927; they all perished. The
Wild horses found on the plains Of
Texas and the Western prairie are
probably descendants Of the Spanish
horses abandoned by De Soto. In 1925
part of the trade OF the Dutch West
India company was the carrying of
horses from Flanders 10 New York,
and that year ak mares and a
horse were safely transported
from France to America. The
London company were the first e1-
porters OF swine from Britain 10 Amer
lea and in the year lG2l they carried
on their vessels no less than eighty
four, which were all, on landing,
allowed 10 roam at large, and feed and
fatten on the mast, which was very
abundant in the woods. They increased
30 fast that in 1927 the colony was in
danger OF being overrun with them /;
but the Indians acquiring q taste for
fresh pork, and the novelty Of hunting
hogs. tba, calamity was averted. So i'm
portant was II considered at that time
that tho cattle, horses and sheep intro
ducsd ipto the infant colony should be
allowed TO increase, that the governor
issued an order prohibiting the killing
of domestic animals of any kind, on
pain of death to the principal, and 10
the alder, abett)r OF accessory. In
1889 horned cattle, horses and sheep
had increased to $4,000. In 1879 there
we're over 1000. 900 sheep, 30, 200, 900
cattle (of which over $4,000, 900 we're

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Says DR.. FoOt6s Health Monthly: The
rlothod OF routing insects or maggots
from the ear by the use of ann stheticf
tether or chloroform held on a sponge
over the earl Is said to have originated
with DR.. j. Il. Blake, OF New York city,
in 1862.
The best remedy for chilblains is
sperm oil Rub the parts OF the foot
affected with the oil, on retiring al
night, and hold the foot near "A hot
stove until the heat seems to burn.
Then remove il TO cool little, then
heat it again, and do 80 three or four
times every nightfor four or five nights,
and it will prove perfect cure.
When rusty nails have produced
wounds, nothing is better than placing
the part hurt in rs hot water as can lie
borne. II on hand or foot, keep in hot
water. The same is good for felon.
Another excellent remedy for curing
wounds made by rusty nails, and thus
preventing locbjaw is very simple. 1t
is only to smoke such a wound, or any
wound or bruise that is inhamed, with
burning wool or wooden cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke OF wool will take
the poison ont OF the worst case OF in
Illumination.
If you wish TO sleep we'll, cat spar,
ingly OF early suppers. Avoid all ar
guments or contested subjects near
night, as those are apt TO have "a bad
effect upon one who ID troubled with
sleeplessness at night. Avoid having
too much company. Many persons be-
come 80 excited with the meeting of
friends that sleep departs for a time.
There is probably nothing better, after
cultiyating tranquil mind, then eI-
ercise in the open air. BY observing
these staple rules. sleeplessness, in
the majority OF cases, may be wholly
cured. Another excellent cure for
wakefulness il to take sponge bath be.

lied boraI in the water; rub we'll with
coarse towel to get up a circulation;
or q teaspoonful Of common baking
soda in a small quantity of water is
considered even better than borax.
Poor sleepers will find it advantageous
often to raise the head OF the bed foo;
higher than the foot and then sleep on
n tolerAbly thick hair pillow, so as TO
bring tho head little higher than the
shoulders. The object Of this is TO
make the work of the heart in throwing
blood to the brain harder, so it will not
throw 30 much.

A Lake OF Tame Fish.

Mrs. L. II. Burgess lives in Sandwich,
Mass, on the bank OF lake. II has
been her custom once or tWice a day
for quite n period to feed the fish in
this lake. She first splashes the water
with her hand, when in a moment there
may be seen approaching from every
direction hundreds OF large sinners,
then eels, varying in size from one to
about three feet in length. Next
turtles appear on the surface, ten,
twenty and thirty feet away, their nccks
stretched apparently to see whether it
is friend or foe who is disturbing the
waters. In less than three minutes
these various species collect directly
before her, and as she commences to
feed them the water is fairly alive with
them. They take bread directly from
her hands, and Turtles will allow her TO
take them entirely out Of the water, and
while she holds them in one hand they
will eat with the greatest voracity from
the other. But the cells are the most
amusing. There was one she called
Quinn, measuring about three feet in
length, that repeatedly came to the
surface and would glide back and forth
through her hands, and several times
she lifted him partially out Of the
water. but he was careful 10 keep his
head under. The moment he saw day.
light he would dart back as only an eel
could.
