Life of G. Patent.

A patent granted in the United States
for an invention which has been previous
ly patented in foreign country will be so
limited in time as to expire with the for
eign patent; or, if there be more than one
foreign patent, the right in the United
States will expire with that foreign patent
which has the shortest term. In no case
however, will United States patent be
continued in force for greater period than
II years.

The Laugh ON tho Minister.

The little word "again' once threw a
large assembly into fits Of laughter 1t
was at a public meeting in New York.
One of the speakers, the Rev. Mr. R., had
had the misfortune, when he tried to take
seat, to miss his chair and come down at
full length ON the platform. The accident
occasioned not little subdued mirth.
When at last it came his turn to speak, the
presiding officer introduced him in these
words, 1.-THE Rev. Mr.. r. will again take
tho floor" The reverend gentleman never
met with so enthusiastic reception as
greeted this announcement.-S Fran

Tho Bullet Trick,

The probability was 90 TO I that he
would be shot, yet an Indian iugglcr took
that one chance rather than ACKNOWLEDGE
his inability To catch the bullet DR.
Holman, the government ethnologist at
Washington, tells the story:
The bravcst act have ever known was
performed by an Indian iugglcr. A favor
lite trick of his was one that has often been
performed 10y white magicians.
IL consisted in permitting himself to he
shot ut, the hocus pOcus being an arrange
ment by which the bullet fell out of the
barrel into cavity in the stock before the
weapon was discharged. Meanwhile tho
man had another bullet concealed i'm his
mouth, which at the instant of firing he
pushed outward with his tongue so as To
make 1t appear that he caught the proiec-
tile between his teeth.
Now, it happened that this man had n
rival, who was engaged in the coniuring
business in ncighboring village. On an
occasion when the trick was to be perform
ed, the Juggler having announced us usual
that he was ready to be shot at by any one
present the rival stepped forward and said
that he would do the shooting, but he de-
mandcd permission to use his own gun.
Naturally the juggler objected, but lis
protest was overruled. 1t was decided that
the rival magician might use his own
weapon. This meant almost sure death to
the performer. Yet he did not blench. To
refuse the test would have been permanent
disgrace.
There was l chance out of 100 perhaps
that the marksman might miss He de
cided To take that chance and SO permitted
the volunteer cxecutioncr to take deliberate
aim and fire ut him from distance of half
"A dozen PAGES. An instant later he fell
dead; the bullet had passed through his
brain. Youth Companion.

very important factors in his favor. He
has been close and diigent student
