Santa Claus in France.

1t is on Sylvester night, the last night of
the old year, hat the children in France
expect visit from Santa Claus. They do
not call him Santa Claus, however, but
"NoGl," and the gifts he brings go by the
name of "etrennes.' When an American
girl and little French one compared
notes once on the subject. they came to
the conclusion that Santa Claus could not
reasonably be expected to work on both
sides of the ocean at the same time; and
as it would take him quite week to cross
the water, he could not possibly attend to
French children before New Years Eve.
Both the French child and the American
thought it was quite funny that American
children hang up their stockings near the
fireplace, while French children put their
shoes close to the CRATE, for the oonven-
fence of the dear old gentleman, who has
such busy time of it, and has to squeeze
into such tight, sOoty places, while he goes
on his errands, stutfing stockings in the
West and shoes in the East.
Sometimes vain little French girl is
ashamed to put her shabby everyday shoes
beside the hearth, and is told that Mr.
Noel does not like fastidous young ladies,
and would be sure to leave the fine shoes
empty. A modest child will set one shoe
in readiness, indicating an unseltish,
thoughtful disposition. Most children put
both their shoes under the chimney, and
once in while a greedy little fellow places
as many pairs of shoes and rubbers as he
owns in a row along the fender
| know of small boy who took off his
shoes and walked to the fireplace to set
them there overnight. But suddenly it oc-
Cured to him that his shoes were rather
small, considering all the things he had
written on a list and mailed to Santa
Claus. And so the smart youngster got
his fathers large hunting boots that reach
ed up above the knee, and placed one on
each side of the chimney. Santa Claus,
however, cannot be fooled so easily, and
when boy plays a joke on him, his old
friend pays him back. When the small
French boy awoke on New Years day and
ran to the fireplace, he found one boot
stuffed with hay. while out of the other
peeped a solid hazel switch, like the one
the school-master sets dancing on the
backs of the naughty boys.-Hdper'S

An important and interesting trade mark suit,
which has been before the courts for some time,
has recently reached decision in the United
States circuit court for the southern district of
New York, Judge Townsend presiding. The case
was that of the n X. Fairbank company of Chi
cago, who brought a bill in equity for an niunc-
ton against the infringement of their trademark
'CottoeneN by the use of the word "Cottoleo."
CottOlene, as is well known, is composed of cot
ed in way invented and first used by Fairbank
visiug aud using Cottolene" as a trade mark In
May, 1892, when the defendants in this SUIT began
the manufacture of "CUttoleo' an article identi-
cal with cOttOlene, the sales of cottoen, had
reached million pounds a month-a result due,
first, to the excellence of the article, and, second
to ITS liberal and judiclous advertising in the
newspapers. The main contention of the defend
ants appears to have been that -, ottOleo" is sim
ply descriptive word, sgnifying the character
of the product so named, and therefore not
available for USE as a trade ma X.
The decision of the court covers the whole
question of tAe use of trademarks. and the con
clusIon is, in substance, that when manufacturers
have educated the public to ask for a certain ar
ticle by its trade mark name they have acquired
the right to insist that products manufactured by
others shall not be given to tie pub H. under that
name. This, il would seem to BE- evident is not
only due the manufacturers, but is protection
to the public against inferior articles which
might otherwise be made and sold under that
name.
There will be in this case the usual decree for
an injunction and an accounting.

Signs of Christmas.

When on the barns matched roof is seen
The moss in tufts of liveliest green,
When Roger to the woodpie goes
And as he turns his fingers blows
When all around is cold aud drear,
Be sure that Christmas tide is near
When M the garden walk in vain
We seek for Floras lovely train,
When the sweet hawthorn bower is bare,
And bleak and cheeress is the air
When all seems desolate around
Christmas advances DER the ground
When Tom at eve comes home from pillow
And brings the mistletOe's green bough
with milk-white berries spotted DER
And shakes II the sly maid before
Then hangs the trophy up on high
Be sure that Christmas tide is nigh
When Hal the woodman, in his clogs
Bears home the huge, unwieldy logs
That. kissing on the smouldering fire,
Flame out at last a quiverlng splre,
When in his hat the holly stands
Old Christmas musters up his band.
When clustering round the fire at night,
Old William talks of ghost and sprite'
And as a distant out house gate
Slams by the wind, they fearful wait
While some each shadOwy nook explore,
Then Christmas pauses at the door.
When Dick comes shivering from the yard,
And says the pond is frozen hard,
While from his hat, all white with snow,
The moisture, trickling, drops below,
When carols sound the night to cheer
Then Christmas and his train are here
