important Typewriter Decision.

"Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
Infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
OF typewriters The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing com.
panies.
"In some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement. Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writers which are colorable limitations
of the Remington. To save few dol
lars man does not want to buy a ma
chine with law suit attachment, espe-
cially when the other machine is the
best,'~-N. Y. Journalist, June Is, 1892.

AN ADEPT AT RESIGNlNG,
The Accountants Novel Method of TAX.
ing a Vacation.

The Accountants Novel Method of TAX.
ing a Vacation.
Living in fashionable town within
committing distance of New York is a
gentleman who invariably attracts at
tention by his long hair. Strangers
always conclude that he is nothing
less than great lawyer or bank presi-
dent. When the more curious ask his
fellow-townsmen about him they are
told the following story:
One day the gentleman, who is one of
the best accountants in the metropolis,
stepped up to the president of the bank
by which he is employed and said he
had decided to resign and that the
resignation must 60 into effect immedi-
ately.
The president was 10th to lose 40
valuable man and urged him to recon-
slider the matter. He talked with him
for an hour but to no purpose. The
employe, whose skill as a mathema-
tician was beyond anything ever met
with by the officials of the bank, was
bound to leave the institution but
absolutely refused to give any reason
for his doings.
The accountant left that day and the
bank was obliged to get along as best
it could without him. s%
Ten days later the cashier was
astonished on entering the bank to
find the accountant hard at work at
his old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned,
but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier decided to
let their strange-acting employe keep
at his work and ask no questions.
Three months later the accountant
went into the presidents Office again
and rendered his resignation. 1t was
accepted, and the man was absent for
week or more. Then he suddenly re-
| turned
The same thing was repeated again
and again. Now it is standing joke
in that bank that the accountant has
resigned. It is his way of taking a
vacation. He never stays away mora
than two weeks.-N. Y. Commercial.

POT POURRI OF ROSES,
A Delicate Perfume That Is a ,Joy For.
ever,

n DeucuUo FerIume That Is JOY FOrs
Gather the rose petals in the early
morning, and place them in cool,
shady place for an hour to dry. Toss
them lightly, and then put layers, with
salt sprinkled freely between, in large
covered glass dish. You may add fresh
petals to this every morning. When
you have a sufficient quantity, let the
whole stand ten days, shaking thor
oughly every morning. Now, in the
bottom of glass fruit jar place two
ounces of whole allspice, crushed, and
two ounces of stick cinnamon, broken.
coarsely. Fill the jar with rose petals
and salt This must now stand six
weeks, or even longer, when it may be
prepared for the permanent jar. Dur
ing these six weeks the jar should be
perfectly air tight.
Mix together one ounce each of
groud cloves, allspice, cinnamon and
mace; one ounce of orris root, shredded
and bruised; two ounces of lavender
flowers. These are the proportions to
be used to one quart of the rose petals.
Place this mixture in alternate layers
with the contents of the glass fruit
jar, in the more ornamental jar that is
to be used permanently. If you choose
you may add few drops of the oil of
your favorite flower, rose, geranium or
violet, and pour over the whole one
quarter of a pint of good cologne. This
pot-pourri will last for years. From
time to time You may add little laven-
er water or any nice perfume. The
fragrant odor from rose jar filled with
leaves and fragrant spices is very pene-
trating, and is particularly pleasant in
large drawing-rooms and halls. The
odor is not only refreshing, but delight
full as well. A rose jar filed with
good stock should never be
allowed to remain constantly open;
it the covers are removed for
an hour at time twice a day, your
rooms will become permeated with a
sweet, reviving odor, that will be de-
light to all who enter your home
Now, one word. When you select
your rose jar, the best are those with
double covers without perforations in
either cover You will find them with
q single cover; with double cover, the
outer one perforated; and the best of
all is the one which have mentioned.
My jar is of imported japanese ware
with such a cover, and the Japanese
people may be said to.be connoisseurs
in all things that delight the olfac-
tories. In conclusion, let me say, if you
own rose bush, by all means have a
rose jar. 1t is not only delightful
thing to prepare, but once prepared,
you will find it

Oatmeal and Oranges.

No sort of food is better for the COM
plexion than oatmeal and oranges The
finest compilations in the world are
those of the Italian and Spanish ladies,
who live largely on coarse-grained food
and fruit like the orange or banana. 1t
is said that the fact is becoming appre-
ciated in the east, and that some New
York ladies, to acquire and preserve a
good complexion, are living almost en-
tlrely on oranges. Half dozen for
breakfast, with a cup of coffee, dozen
for lunch, with a glass of milk and a
saucer of oatmeal, and dozen more for
supper, with a crust of bread and sip
of tea, may not be high living in the
proper sense of the word, but such a
course of diet will bring complexion
OF peach and ivory which will drive
almost any belle out of her head with
envy. st Louis Globe-pemoerat

OUR NATION THE OLDEST.
1t Was the Forerunner OF All Popular
Forms of Government.

tOrmS OF government.
Americans are too often reminded by
older nations that they are young ma.
ton, and, therefore, inexperienced and
more liable to crude blundering than
the ancientdynasties of Europe. Young
we are, with youthful vigor and ire
pressible vitality. If such were the
meaning our critics intended, facts in
4. our history would abundantly support
them.
But in a very real and unobserved
Sense are we the oldest nation in the
world to-day, and the stars and stripes
is the forerunner of all those popular
forms of government now extant.
When the silken folds of our flag first
floated to the breeze and were baptized
in blood and consecrated with imper-
ishable honor, what did they signify2
That the hitherto stifed voice of the
people demanded to be heard, respected
and obeyed.
That that voice proclaimed doctrines
of human right andofreedom hitherto a
Utopian dream, which those solitary
ones dreamt it had scarcely dared to
utter.
And, further, the assertions it pro-
claimed it did maintain against a
mighty foe, which was destined for de-
feat.
To-day the recorder of these events
looks back with awed wonder to see
the struggle our fathers commenced
spread and grow, until it had reached
the toppling thrones of these very ma
tions which criticise us and which owe
their germinal liberties to the proclama-
tion of independence and the war of the
revolution. Our banner is still in the
vanguard; the government SO aus
piciously begun has not perished from
the earth Rather does it increase in
power with succeeding years.
Louis XIV. said: "The state! I am
the stater George III. held his right
as mere man to trample upon millions,

even to protest. But the old order

and gave it its hereditary right? Amer.
lea. Therefore is she the oldest nation.
There are older aristocracies. She does
not wish to share in their prestige.
Let them keep it all. For to her be-
longs the first primeval right of true
democracy. AS Henry Ward Beecher
told his English audience at Birming-
ham: "We have nothing to learn from
you in the way of government."-N. Y.

A QuACk IN AFRICA.
de Took Cattle rs Fees and Soon ACQUIRED
Thousand Animals.

A German agent in the southwest At
rican possessions of Germany writes to
headquarters in Berlin that confidence
men and scamps have invaded even
that sparsely settled and half-savage
region. He says that a year ago white
man went wandering through the coun-
try carrying on his back bag filled
with medical nostrums. Little atten-
ton was paid to him, but it was found
later that he knew nothing whatever of
medicine, and that his little plasters,
waters and drugs were worth no more
than so much fetish. He heralded his
coming everywhere, just as the quack
doctors do in this country, and the sim
ple-minded natives fiocked to him from
far and near to secure the benefits of
his wonderful treatment He remained
only two or three weeks in place, and
then would seek other fields. He took
payment in cattle, and from place to
place he drove his herd, which cost him
nothing for food and kept rapidly in
creasing in size.
Finally he reappeared on the coast
with herd of about one thousand six
hundred cattle out of which he had
bunkoed the natives. AS he had no
medical skill and the contents of the
mysterious bag probably were not
worth ten dollars, he found the business
paying one The natives, after he
had swindled them, made up their
minds as to his true character, and the
German agent writes that it probably
would not be safe now for any itinerate
dealer in medicine and cures to travel
through the country; however honest
and competent he might be.
The agent says, however, that there
is a fine opening in southwest Africa
for some young practitioner who is hav-
ing hard work building up practice in
Germany. He names the town where
the young man should settle, and says
he is confident that few years prac-
tice among the natives there would en-
able him to return to Germany with
snug little fortune. The agent will ex-
ercise great care to prevent any more
quacks and humbugs from getting into
the country and giving the natives an
unfavorable impression of all white
men.-Chicago Times.

CHRISTENING THE BABY,

The Incident Was Amusing, Even If 1t
Was Uncomfortable.
l was at Miners creek in Idaho when
an incident happened that was both
amusing and uncomfortable.
"Who names this child?" said the par
son, as he looked at the two mountain
specimens who had brought in the baby
to be ''krisened."
The man stepped forward and said
loud enough for the rest of the school
house congregation to hear.
"'Tain't got no name yet. Me and
Sally couldn't hitch on a name"
''How will Joseph do?" asked the par
son, anxiously.
II reckon that will do fust rate" an
swered the man, and as the woman did
not object, the ceremony proceeded,
and the infant was duly christened Jo-
seph. The mountaineer and his wife
did not stay to the rest of the service,
as the newly-christened had powerful
lungs and knew how to use them.
But the next day they returned and
brought some of their friends with
them.
"You made right smart of mis-
take" said baby's grandmother, who
accompanied it this time, 'an' low it's
agin the law, to. Yer krisened the
baby Joseph"
"And it's good name, too," said the
parson, much surprised.
"Not for this ere young 'un, reckon
Why, man alive, it's gal"
"Car'nt help that" said the parson
stoutly. "The objection comes too late

and young mares as light and graceful

In the interest of this scene of pas
toral life and freedom had almost for
gotten the prowling beast Of prey who,
but few moments ago, was dogging
my footsteps and who was perhaps at
that very instant watching the uncon-
scious band and choosing from it's num-

member for his morning meal.
The black stallion suddenly paused
in the pathway. put his nose to
the earth like a dog. raised one of
his forefeet, and gave wild
snort of fear He had scented the trail
OF the mountain terror, and, turning
quickly, galloped rapidly back up the
canyon. Most of his band followed,

had left the path to snatch mouthful

have recognized the signal of danger,
for she lifted her head leisurely, and
then seeing the tanks and tails of her
fleeing friends trotted after them.
At this moment, glanoing across the
gulch, saw huge mountain lion leap
lightly upon the trunk of tree which
leaned over the gulch nearly opposite to
me and just above the retreating mare.

back of the horse, fixing his claws in
her shoulders and resisting every at
tempt to shake him off. A loud shrek
OF brute terror and agony was heard,
and the mare, feeling that terrible
weight upon her back, stood trembling
with fear. The lion lost no time.
Leaning over her shoulders he fastened
his fangs in her neck, where he hung
fast, sucking her life away.
For moment I had been stupefied
by the suddenness of the attack,
but now pity for the young mare
and anger at the boldness and
cruelty OF her fierce assailant filed
me. Without thought of consequences

aim and fred. This sudden interrup.

but as I came down from my perch to
get better view of the situation I
realized that my chivalry had brought
me into danger. The lion crouched
where he had fallen, growing savagely
and licking his wounded paw. Sud

cause of his discontinue, prepared to
attack me.
.! was now but few PAGES off, and
again leveled my revolver and fired.
The shot went wide OF the mark, and l
saw that was now at the mercy of the
very claws from which had freed the
mare. braced myself to receive the
spring, and grasped my revolver by the
barrel to use over the hons head. I
had weighed all my chances and de-
clded there was no escape, when sud
denly, almost as the lion rose to spring
upon me, the report of rifle rang and
reechoed along the canyon walls, and
the tawny brute lay rolling in his death
agony.
Jones, the ranchman, hearing the
cry OF his terrified stallion, had grasped
his rifle and rushed to the rescue. His
steps were hastened by the cry of the
mare, and when he stood in the mouth
OF the gulch and saw the animal ready
to spring upon me his hand was nerved
to his task and the bullet did its work
unerringly. ST Louis Globe Demo
