Last year in London, Eng, an unscrupu-
lous dealer sought TO place a So called est.
David's" Oil in the market on the strength
Of tho great popularity Of the Vogeler
Co.'S "St. Jacobs" Oil. Thanks TO En-
glish law, the high court OF justice prompt
ly issued a perpetual injunction against
the defendant and imposed heavy dam
ages. Some years ago the U. s. Court at
Cleveland, o., in n similar case awarded
this Baltimore house 900 damages. The
Charles A. vogeler Co. has again been
called upon 20 defend its rights and has
recently instituted suit in the Circuit
Court OF Baltimore city for injunction and
damages. No doubt the best evidence Of
the marvellous efficacy Of "SE Jacobs

full attemptsiatsNio upon its reputation.

Turkish FuneraI customs.


An observer Of customs at Constanti-
nople writes that upon the occurrence
Of death there is a general rush for the
corpse. Its wives throw themselves
upon his body, and with loud shrieks
call on him to come back to them
again. The men stand round and weep,
and the nearest relatives tear their
clothes. There is none of that shrink
ing fear Of death with the Turks that is
so marked among the more civilized
Italians. The grief is for the most part
formal, probably only the favorite wife
and few Of the children really mean
ing what they do. The first excite
ment gives way to a more quiet grief
and the women commence the long
rafting cry for the dead, which they
probably got from the Greeks, and
which is remarkably like the Uslusla-
lu' OF the Irish under similar circum-
stances. Fifteen minutes is the regula-
ton time that must elapse before the
more distant relatives begin to get
calm. and the others drop of at dis
tinct and well-understood intervals
thereafter, the wife who has borne the
most children to the dead man being
expected to keep it up the longest. a
period OF time often lasting until the
funeral itself.-BOSt0n Budget.

of other articles. for its bantams. Its
possibilities include opium, indigo,

nah possessed great virtues in British
eyes In this direction, as teak had Just
then thoroughly supplanted oak as a
ship-building material. Precious stones,
especially rubies and garnets, are found
in every quarter of the country. Ele-
plants roam in great numbers in the
peninsula and are of the most docile
species known. They are used to n
great extent in the English Government
timber yards at Rangoon and other
ports, and are also largely
shipped across the bay for the com
missariat and artillery of each of
the three Presidencies. Burmese silk

Indian mainland. He is bred by the
Shans, a mountain tribe on the north
east portion of Burmah that knows no
ruler and has preserved through all the
ages an independence like the Swiss.
The Shans, too, are determined to
keep the breed of their ponies as pure
as their independence. and to this end
have never yet parteo with a single
one entire. Once year they appear
in Rangoon with immense droves of
geldings, which they sell at the figures
placed on them before leaving their
villages, and not a penny less. Their
prices, however, are not excessive, an
excellent four-year-old pony being pro-
curable for about seventy-tve dollars.
