birthday Rings.

Finger rings are worn in larger numbers
now than before in some years. A new
feature in these ornaments are the birth
day rings set with an appropriate stone
for the month in which the anniversary
day chances TO fall. For instance, if ones
birthday occurs in April, the stone is a
diamond, the emblem of innocence; if one
first beheld the light of day in May, then
she wears an emerald in token that she
will be loved and happy wife; the pearl,
indicative, according to gem lore, of health,
wealth and long life, is the stone for June,
and so on through the twelve months of
the year. These birthday rings are set in
several ways, there being four styles for
each month. These are to be seen at the
jewellers, in trays containing forty-eight
rings, with the sentiment of each months
gem written in gilt letters, which arrange
ment insures the purchasers securing the
appropriate stone for the month Of his or
her birth.

Uruguay is being kept back chiefly by
the cOnservativeness Of the creole land
holders, who possess immense estates that
are inadequately developed. The law of
inheritance and the obligatory subdivis-
ion of property among the heirs viii
modify this state Of affairs in the course
of time, and these vast holdings viii be
gradually broken up and developed in
detail. The process, however. will nee
essarily be slow, and meanwhile, as the
state owns no lands. the increase Of i'm
migration can only be slow in proper
tion.-Theodore Childin Harper's.

Saved by Her PONY.

A little girl playing one day in her fa-

passed through the estate. No human be-
ing was near TO save her from drowning.
But small pony, says School and Home,
which had become a pet in the family and
of which the children, who had often rode
on him. were especially fond, was grazing
near by. The cries OF his little mistress
fell on his ear, and, plunging into the
stream, he quickly seized her clothing and
took her ashore with such gentleneSs that
she was unhurt except by her fright. In
this act the horse showed both affection

ABOUT DUPLICATES

The pattern room Of a great machine

builder contains the accumulation OF
years Of Improvement and invention.
As a machine is developed and changed
the patterns are altered and used over
and over again To produce the patterns
new every time a new machine Is wanted
would require great expense. A FIRE IN
a pattern shop is therefore great calsIa-
ity, for it destroys patterns that can
hardly be replaced.

Grand Army Day.

The Executive Committee met at the PEN
sion Office last Thursday afternoon. Every
thing in regard to the celebration at Rock
Point was found completed SO far as pos
sible. Although the comrades are now en-
crossed in the Detroit Encampment, Grand
Army Day will receive big boom just as
soon as they return. If the weather be fair
the celebration will be the biggest affair
that ever left Pittsburg. The railroad facili-
ties will be better than ever. Colonel Sam
Moody will see that there is no crowding of
trains. From $50 A. M. to o'clock trains
will be run. As soon as the seats of one are
filled the train will start and an
other will move up and take its place.
No one need stand. At o'clock trains
will begin to leave Rock Point for the city,
1t will be unnecessary for the people to
crowd into them, for as each one is filled it
will start and another one will stann ready.
This will be continued till the last train load
leaves for Pittsburg.
Since last Saturday the committee has re-
ceived notification that the Sixty-frst and
One Hundred and rty-fourth Regiments
will hold reunions at Rock Point.
A committee will be sent to lay out the
camp and see that everything is in shape.

BRUSH PATENTS UPHELD.
An Important Decision Of Judge coxs IN
Relation to Storage Batteries.


Relation to Storage Batteries.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The decision 70
Gently handed down by Judge Coke, of the
United States Circuit Court for the South
ern district of New York, in the matter Of
the Brush Electric Company against the
Electrical Accumulator Company ct al, set
ties for the present the celebrated case, in
volving the control in the United States Of
the manufacture and sale of storage batter
les. The proof of the Infringement in the
action decided Thursday, Judge Coke held,
was substantially the same as in the Brush
Julien case. After referring to the similar
ity of the patents and clearly setting forth
how the broader one covered the second
battery element, Judge Coke continues:
"Mr. Brush was the first il: the country to
make the broad invention. He is entitled
to the fruits of his invention. It is the
policy of the law to reward him. Where
the Court can see that the patentee has pro-
duced an invention of real merit, it should
not be unduly Industrious in endeavoring to
discover some statement or act of his by
which, on technical grounds, his rights may
be forfeited. 1t should rather be sedulous
to protect him."
The case will be taken to the Supreme
Court Of the United States for final adiudi-
cation.

time at the Fall of Pompeii. The boys say
he helps to push over the oathhouse.
AMONG the sick comrades of No. g. ex-
Colonel Commander Barker, of Kroll street,
Allegheny, is reported better, which Is good
news.
QUARTER MASTER s. A. MoCLErLAND Of No.
6, met with an accident last week in which
he got his back badly sprained. At last re-
port he was improving.
THE question of comrades turning out at
funerals was pretty fully discussed at the
last meeting of No. 6, and all present con-
Cured in the view that this was one of the
imperative duties of each comrade. j. H.
Stevenson said there were some members Of
No. who were so lazy that they would
scarcely be present at their own funeral.
CoMRADE JOHN BEERS at the last meeting
of No. 6 related an incident wherein a COM
rade exhibited an extraordinary auditory
acuteness. He said he was at work on the
dwelling of Comrade Heasley, blind vet
eran on Willis street, Allegheny, and did not
know that the owner had belonged to the
same regiment, One Hundred and Ninetieth
Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, with
him. Comrade Heasley heard Beers voice,
sent out for him and said: "You belonged
to Company Z" Beers said he did. These
two comrades had not met for 26 years.

much better one for S125. He even entered
into preliminary agreements with some pur-
chasers before they discovered that he was
mad. So far he Is still permitted to be at
