The following are points in decisions on
priority of invention
The party who first reduces an invention 10

though the other party may have first con-
ceived 1t, il he did not exercise reasonable
diligence in reducing it to practice.
II the party who first conceived machine
followed up the idea diligently, and was the
first to reduce it to actual practice he is enti-
tied to patent for il, although his competi'
tors had complete working drawings OF 1t pre-
viously prepared and had obtained patent.
Whoever first reduces an invention to prac-
tice and makes an application of it to use,
will usually be held the prior inventor
In order to defeat a patent the courts re-
quire II to be shown that another not only
conceived the invention in dispute before the
patentee, but was also the first to perfect and
adapt the same TO practical use, or was using
reasonable diligence for that purpose.

Miscellany.


My thoughts 60 homo TO that old brown house,
With its low roof hloping down TO the east
And It's garden fragrant with roses aud thyme
That blossom no longer, except In rhyme,
Where the honoy-bees used to feast.
Afar in the west the great hills rose,
Silent and Bteadfast and gloomy and gray;
thought they were gtanta, and doomed TO keep
Their watch, while the world should wake or sleep,
TIL the trumpet should sound on the judgment
day.
l used to wonder OF what they dreamed
As they brooded thoro In the silent night,
while March winds smOte them, or June rains FELL
Or the SHOWS Of winter their ghostly spell
Wrought In the long and lonesome night.
They remembered younger world than ours
Before the trees on their top we're born,
When the old brown house was itself tree,
And waste were the fields where now you see
Tho winds astir In the tasselled corn.
And was as young as the hills were old,
And the world was warm with the breath oi
spring,
The the roses red and the lilies white
Budded aud bloomed for my delight,
And the birds In my heart began TO sing.
But calm In the distance tho great hills rose,
Deaf unto raptures and dumb unto pain,
Since they know that Joy is the mother Of Grief,
And remembered a butterhy's life II brief
And the sun sets only to rise again.
They will brood, and dream, and be silent, now,
When the youngest children alive to-day
Have grown To be women and men, grown old,
Aud gone from the world like tale that iB told,
And even those echo forgets to stay.

THE FATE OF THE RUSSIAN NIHILIsT COLONY
in Oregon, recently detailed, is curious one.
Weary of despOtio police surveillance, these
people left Odessa and founded a community
on the Pacific coast For time they pros
psred, and lived in harmony, all being mem
bers of the Greek church. But one day the
serpent entered their Eden, with copy OF
Oomte's philosophical works. They took 1t,
they read il, aud they we're converted. Every
member of the colony at once became .
Positivist OF the most positive degree. But
in philosophy they failed TO 6nd the agree
ment they enjoyed in religion. Some ran
into one Oomtian "ism, " some into another
The strife among them grew as bitter a. evel
was that of Christian scots. The end has
now come in the disruption Of the colony,
considerable portion of it seeding and oOm
ing East penniless, while the remainder find
its old prosperity seriously impaired. So IL
seems that poor old human nature Ia jus
about as prone to intolerance In theories a. II
creeds, and in philosophy as In religion.

a Haxinr Song.

Over the meadow floats the mist,
Rolling softly away;
Up on the hills the sun has kissed,
Brightens the yellow day.
Faintest breath Of the morning breeze
Shakes the dew from the orchard trees,
SwAys the bough where robin is saying,
"WAke, U wakel II Is time for hayingW
Cows are lowing In haste TO try
Pastures moistened with dew;
Swallows twitter, and brown bees fly,
Soenting the blossoms new.
Meadow larks, out of sight, repeat
over and over, Sweet, o sweet
Grass, and clover and lilies blowing,
Round my nest like forest growing"
Through the meadows the mowers tread,
With a sturdy stroke aud true;
Aud Oil for the lilies, 30 tall aud red,
When the cleaning scythe sweeps through.
Balancing over the grasses Hight,
Dropping with laughter out OF sight,
''HO, hO, hol" hear the blAckbird singing,
"Giye me a day when scythes are swinging
In fragrant burrows the grass is laid,
The golden sun climbs high;
The mowers sharpen the ringing blade,
And glance at the western sky.
Harki the quail with his warning call,
Whistles loud from the mossy wall,
Mower whetl" while the sun Ia shining,
storms may come with the days declining.

gy working changes never thought

and not observing how other such

Observations Concerning Gray Hairs
Medical and Surgical Reporter.
Many persons begin to show gray hairs
while they are yet in their twenties, and
some while in their teens. This does not
by any means argue premature decay
Of the constitution. Tt is purely a local
phenomenon and may co-exist with I'M
usual bodily vigor. Many feeble per-
sons, and others who have suffered ex-
tremely both mentally and physically do
not blanch a hair until past middle life ;
while others. without assignable cause,
lose their capillary coloring matter rap
idly when about 40 years Of age
Race has a marked influence. The
traveller DIR. Orbigny says that in many
years he spent in South America he
never saw a bald Indian, and scarcely
ever a gray haired one. The negroes
turn more slowly than the whites. Yet
we know a negress of pure blood, about
So years old, who is quite gray.
In this country sex appears to make

gray about the same period of life. In
men the hair and beard rarely change
equally. The one is usually darker than
the other for several years, but there
seems no general rule as to which whit
ems the first. The spot where grayness
begins differs with the individual. The
philosopher Schopenhauer began to turn
gray on the temples, and complacently
framed theory that this is an indica-
ton of vigorous mental activity.
The correlation of gray hair, as well as
its causes, deserve more attentive study
than they have received. Such a change
is undoubtedly indicative of some deep
seated physiological process, but what
this is we can only ascertain by mucl
wider series of observations than they
has yet been submitted to scientific an
alysis.
