mean that he could possibly lift that
weight. AS the anthropological commit
tee that perfected tho system says The
total strength is purely an arbitrary and
relative rather than an actual test of tho
strength, as its name would indicate, and
while confessedly imperfect it seems de-
cidedly advisable that there should be some
method Of comparison which does not de-
pend entirely on lifting dead weight
against gravity or steel springs" What is
really considered is the ability to use the
muscles of tho body to the best advantage.
Lane excels in lung strength and in the

Toothache and Tight Lacing.

Toothache is unfortunately SO common,
owing to the dental degeneraoy of our age,
that the mr;,dy rarely needs more than
passing notSe from medical pens. But
there is one note of caution at least that
should be sounded. Women who tight
lace should never take gas. In all condi-
tons in which free respiration becomes a
necessity, If the vital processes are to be
carried on, tight laoing means death. OF
all times, that in which patient takes an
anasthetio is the one when absolute free
dom is a necessity. Unhappily but few
know this elementary fact in physiology,
and hence the sad death Of girl who had
taken nitrous oxide gas at dentists
rooms, and while recovering from its in
fuence had fatal attack of syncope.-

In the United States Circuit Court FOR the
Southern District of New York. The suit
was for an Injunction against tie infringe

by the use of the word "Cottoleo.n The
validity of Cottoiono as trademark was
made permanent by an injunction, the case
being summarized by the court as follows
"It seems to be the law that when manu-
facturers have educa ted the public TO ask
for certain article by its trademark name,
they have acquired the right to insist that
products manufactured by Others shall not
be given to the public under that name. 1t
is just that it should be SO for the benefit
derived from such name can only be OBJ
tanned by faithful service in furnishing
articles of recognized value Moreover, il
the trademark name might be adopted by
others, inferior articles might then be pro-
duced and sold under it; and thereby the
value to rnanufa cturers Of the reputation of
the name used by them as a trademark
would be destroyed"

A shopkecper Who Wasn't Concerned
About Trade.
Down in Nantucket, as in many coun-
try regions, the ways Of trade are not
as we find them in the turmoil of
city affairs. There life seems always
like summer afternoon. No one is
solicited to buy wares of any descrip-
ton, and the maxim tacitly prevails
that 'you can take it or leave it.' Yet
much may be missed by such luxurious
modes of action. s
When President Hayes was in that
region, his wife went to the little shop
of an exceedingly independent old lady
who sells the baskets made by men on
board the lightships anchored all about
that region. President Hayes was away
where, and Mrs. Hayes walked about,
enjoying herself.
When she entered the shop the cid
lady was sitting in the background,
reading. The visitor stood there for q
moment, and then began to examine
the baskets on the counter. No one
noticed her.
What is the price of this baslzet?"
she ventured at length.
The old lady looked up from her
reading.
''Look on the bottom" she said, abb
ruptly, and continued scanning the
paper.
"And this?" said Mrs. Hayes, indi.
eating another.

was the brief reply.
The presidents wife pursued her ex
animation, and at length asked:

would like to buy some of these"
