NIT Ct the basin being placed close to
the customers neck, and below his
chin, while the barber msnipulates
beard or chin with warm water, until
the one or the other Is ready for the
final operation. 1t Is just such . basin
as that which Don Quixote
took for "Mambrlno's Helmet"
and which he placed on his head, up
side down and with the semi circular
hiatus over his forehead, % If the
basin had been q morton. 1t IL Just
such q basin as was wont to be used In
Beaumont and Fletcher's amusing
burlesque of the knight of the Burn.
Ing Pestle, when one Of Giant Bar
barose's captives wal brought forth
upon the stage, with the basin
embracing his neck, close under
his chin, as II he were just
about to be shaved. Such basins
were In universal use In England for
some centuries, but In my time l have
never seen one there. Here there
are no other forms. They are not
invariably of brass. OF late years
basins of pottery have been intro
duced. l bought at Mersine, on the
Syrian coast, a basin In red and white
pottery, which bore the name OF a
French firm, and I have been n In
the Princes Islands, In blue and
white, which bore the name of an
English firm. but whether the basin
be of brass, or pewter, or pottery, Its
form Is always the same.
AS a matter of course, the barber
shops In Stambul are not localized,
but there is o little settlement of
them cloge to each principal mosque.
One of these settlements consists of a
row of small houses, or rather huts,
In front of the great mosque of Sultan
Achmet, which are occupied by bar

apparently unnecessary profusion In

GREEN'S DRIVE WELL"
The Omitted States Court at Dee
Moines Decides Against tle
Patentee.

DEs MONIES, May 9.-The Uaited
States district court, now sitting In
this city, this morning rendered a do,
o!sion in the celebrated "drive well ,
case, holding the patent void, The
question was decided In the case of
Andrews rs. Hovey, of Independence.
The case was brought before the courts
of Iowa and Minnesota together, the
judges being Love and Shiras, of
Iowa, and Nelson, of Minnesota, and
Ia conclusive as to all caees pending In
both states. Judge Shirss delivered
the opinion, holding,
First-That the pstent is invalid
because the inventor, Col. Green, of
New York, allowed 1t to 60 into public
use for more than two years prior to
mis- application for a patent.
Second-That the Issue was void
because 1t was not for the same inven.
ton as the original patent; and
Third-Because that the instances
of priority by the inventor were In the
main mere experiments of wells at
Independence, Iowa, In 1861, and the
successful use of several wells at Mil.
waukes in 1849 and 1850 were from
substantially the same invention.
Judge Love concurred and held further
that under the act of congress of 1889
1t was immsterial whether the prior
use of the invention for the two years
therein mentioned was with or with.
out the consent aud allowance of the
inventor, and that such prior use In
either case in%validated the patent.
Judge Nelson dissented. The opinion
was very long and all questions in
volved were discussed with much
learning. Judge McCrary sat with
the judges during the reading of the
opinion.

The proposed French law provides

on account of the necessity for making

GLASSES of society, and parents find 1t
q much simpler method to economize
In the number Of their children. Two
or at most three children, are sdmissi
bic, and there are few families In easy
circumstances th~stexceed that number,
SO deeply has this feeling become
rooted in the social life of the nation
that parents who have large families
are looked upon as being culpably and
indecently im%provident. AS by far
the great majority of marriages among
