AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
For the Newark Machine Company
of Columbus. Ohio,

The Newark Machine Company, at
Columbus, Ohio, is the owner of sew
eral patents for building the Victor
Double HulIer Glover Machine, which
IS the only double cylinder clover hull
Ter made in the world. It has wide
reputation ali over the land, and the
sales have run up to 800 in a single
wear. After the destruction of the
company's works at Newark, last
summer, the Ashland Machine Com
pany at Ashland, Ohio, sent out
notices that owing to the destruction
of tke works of the Newark Machine
Company, that company would be
would be unable to furnish hullers for
last years trade, and stated they
would build clover huller and seed
cleaner as good IS the Victor. The
firm of Gear, Scott & Co., Of Richo
rcond, Ind, secured Victor clover
huiler and tore it apart and com
1nenced the building of clover hullers
with seed cleaning attachments there,
10, which could scarcely be told from
the. Victor, upon which they tried to
secure letters patent. The Newark
Machine Company filed interference
suit p6IOfS the commissioner OF
Patents at Washing ton, and furnished
such conclusive evidence of the at
tempted seizure of Newark Com
pany's patents, that the Commissioner
Of Patents decided the patents of the
Newark Machine valid in law and
were infringed upon by the firm of
Gear, Scott & Co. Under this de-
cisjon the agents who have sold or the
persons who have purchased and used
y clover huller embodying any of the
features of the Victor are liable to
the Newark Machine Company for
damages.
The Newark Machine Company
wall now turn their attention TO the
case of the Ashland Machine Com
pany for similar infringements.

A Giant Rose.
From London Life

At the new gardens, Whitley, there
is now growing a champion rose tree,
Marechal Neil. It was planted in
1865, so that it is actually twenty
years old. For many years it pro-
duced regularly enormous quantities
Of roses, but it was not till 1882 that
the full number of blooms were count
ed, when no less than 2, 500 roses were
recorded. IL 1888 there was falling
off in the number of roses grown Of
about 1000, and last year there was
a still further diminuti0n, as only
$50 blooms We're plucked. It was then
thought that the tree had seen its best
days, and that, considering its age, It's
vitality was on the wane. There is,
however, more thaa sufficient reason
to believe that there is life IN the old
tree yet. Since last year TIE proprie-
tor has devoted considerable attention
to the tree, and there Is now chance
Of his industry being rewarded, for,
early though it is, there are now
many hundreds of buds in various
stages Of forwardness, and there is
every reason to believe that the tree
this year viii be more prolific than
ever, the proprietor estimating the
number OF blooms at not less than
3 600

Language Of the Voice.

Nothing betrays so much as the
voice, save perhaps the eyes, out they
can be lowered, and so far their ex-
preston hidden.
In moments of emotion no skill can
hide the fact OF disturbed feeling,
though a strong will and the habit of
self control can steady the voice
when else il would be failing and
tremulous.
Certain voices CRATE on the nerves
and set our teeth on edge, and others
are just as calm as they are irritating,
quoting, or like composing
draught.
A good voice, calm in toue and
musical IN quality, is one Of the es-
sentials for physician-the bedside
voice which is nothing if it is not
sympathetic by constitution.
Wkatever It's original quality may
be, the orators voice bears the I'M
mistakable stamp of arr, and becomes
artifciality; as such, 1t may be ad
mIrable-telling in crowd, impress

chilling at homo, partly because it is

getting.
An orators voice, with its careful
information and accurate accent, would
be as much out of place beside sick
bed as brocaded silk for the kitchen
girl.
The voice is much more indicative
Of the state Of the mind than many
people know or allow.
One Of the first symptoms of failing
brain power is in indistinct or con-
fused u5terance; no idiot has clear
or melodious voice; the harsh scream
of mania is proyerbial, and no person
of prompt and decisive thought was
ever known to hesitate and stutter.
A thick, loose, fluffy voice does no
belong to the crisp character of minc
which does the most active work, anC
when q keen witted man drawls anC
lets his words drip instead Of bringing
them out IN the sharp, incisive way
that ought to be natural to him, there
is flaw somewhere.
