special observance of the day at the

accompanied by baskets of flowers.
Aside from these little incidents the day

NEARLY all the leading papers or the
United States" says the Inter Ocean,
Republican and Democratic, have
heartily Endorsed that sentence in the
State Department dispatch in the ALI
ance case in which Secretary Gresham
insists that the Spanish government
shall Immediately warn all commanders
of war vessels that American commerce
must not be interfered with. This is
going beyond the case under considera-
ton and laying down a rule of general
application. 1t is in effect serving notice
on Spain and all other nations that
American vessels will be protected at all
hazards, and that interference with
them will be regarded as an act of war.
Secretary Gresham's note expressed the
sentiment of the American people.
There is no jingoism about this. There
is no existing constituencies or irritation
on the Cuban question. There is no
inclination on the part of the American
people to depart from policy of peace,
but there is, as there always has been.
determination that the flag shall be
respected, not merely in general way,
but in every case, on every occasion
first, last, and all the time. In this
spirit the Nation has responded almost
as one man to the sentiment expressed
by the Secretary of State"

validity Of Cottolene as a trademark was
made permanent by an injunction, the case
being summarized by the court as follows:

facturers have educated 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

In soft coal we often find vegetable

times impressions like fern fronds. In

venomous creature will neutralize the
poisonous effect almost instantly. 1t
acts like charm in the case of a snake

the sense of relief is magical. 1t seems

The employment of whisky as an
antidote in cases of snake bite seems to
be nearing it's end. Experiments have
been tried with strychnine in cases of
this sort, and the results are highly
satisfactory. 1t is said to remove all

nitrogen than they take from the

from was the problem. Messrs. He'll

that the absorption is due to minute

which, when the supply of nitrogen in
the soil begins to fail, appear as an ex-
crescence, draw nitrogen from the air
and so enrich the soil again.

The Gentry of Colonial maryland.

The gentry of col onial Maryland,
ander the rule of the earlier Calverts,
lived on the great plantations in dwell
ings that were acc essible by water.
The bay and rivers were almost their
only highways, and the obliterated
little thorp of st. Mary's, founded on
the site of an Indian village whereof
the memory is dear to every son of the
soil, was their only city. At home
they sat on stools and forms, and dined
without forks, cutting their meat with
their rapiers. But their walls were
wainscoted. and their chambers COM
fortably bedded. Tea and coffee they
rarely tasted, and sugar was luxury,
but sack and cider and punch flowed
free. Witness the facetious instruc-
tions of Gov. Calvert to Col. Price, to
bring certain articles to Fort st. Ini-
goes for the use of the soldiers: "And
upon motion of sack, the said governor
badc him bring sack, if he found any,"
In the early records of the province
there is more sack than Falstaff's
drawer ever scored. The colonial gen.
try dispensed ardent spirits at funerals,
and clinked the sack-cup at christen-
ings; and they affected signet-rings
with their leather brooches and boot
hose. Cattle-stealing was not in fashion;
only sheriff of Kent was once charged
with that offense, while a governor of
Virginia was convicted; neither was
there ever an execution for witehcraft
