A San Francisco millionaire has arbi-
trarily included among his ''inalienable
American privileges" the right to eX-
pectOrate when and where he pleases.
and, in consequence Of having eXer-
cised this privilege twice in street
car, he has been sentenced to spend Il
day in Jail. The millionaire's senti-
ments as to inalienable rights happen
to be at variance with civic Ordin-
ance which was framed to hold in
check those disgusting individuals who
have not the requisite sense Of decency
to refrain from expectoratlng in a pub
lie place. The 'millionaire' should be
shown no sympathy or consideration.
He gratuitously insulted Americanism
by asserting that it was n special
american" privilege to violate a com
mon law Of decency, and he persisted
In his obnoxious conduct, although
warned that he was breaking munic
ipal law. 1t appears he Is to make this
test case. 1t Is to be hoped he will
and that the verdict against him will
be SO convincing that all other persons
Of his swinish instincts will be taught
the lesson that they cannot give way tc
those instincts where decent people
cOngregate.

A Wonderful 9i1n,

Prussia fifty years ago had a State
lottery, and In every town, large or
small. was a collector, appointed to sell
the tickets. One day a servant girl
came to the collector in Hagan, and
asked II she could buy No. q.
He did not have it in his possession.
but as the girl seemed very much in
earnest aud refused to be put OF with
any other number, he tried to obtain II
from some Of the other collectors in
town and finally succeeded.
The drawing took place and Hagan
rose to a state Of feverish excitement
when 1t was known that this girl had
become winner Of a large sum of
money. She found herself, for a time,
the chief object Of interest in the town.
She was, Of course. asked how she
came to FIX upon No. o. Thereupon she
gave this simple and lucid explana ton
II dreamed one night No. Z, and a sec.
ond night dreamed No. Z, and a third
night again. So thought. Three times
seven makes twenty-three.' and l

The umbrella has always held Il Pc
culiar place In the category OF personal
property In common practice, and a
corded mankind In the handling of
this very necessary adjunct Of rainy
day. This has been carried to such IN
extreme that the right to claim sole
possession of an umbrella has frequent
ly been seriously disputed, based OH
the apparently racial instinct to seize
and hold all umbrellas found detached
from human hand or a strong lock.
In the face Of this almost universal
concession, made to what may be
termed the umbrella habit, it Is some
what surprising to find that two resi-
dents Of Delaware have been severely
punished for taking one umbrella. And
they acknowledged the offense, be-
sides. A man and woman We're In
the case. the former being sentenced to
three months Imprisonment and five
lashes for his part in the affair, and the
woman to one days Imprisonment.
This extensive amount of lmprisOn-
ment, due to one little umbrella. inev-
itably raises the suspicion that there
are places where umbrellas are held as
sacred as any other property. This
will not be wholly bad news to many
people who have acquired the custom
Of buying umbrellas aud have endured
complacently their almost Immediate
disappearance. Perhaps the Delaware
Idea will spread until in time umbrel
las will regain their normal property
rights and cease to exercise such an
unwholesOme influence ON mans moral

and Grant was appointed to command
the entire army. This was done to
relieve the General of the strings" at
Washington, which had hampered him
in his progress. In return Grant when
President, prompted by his friendship
for Elihu Washburne as well as his
fitness. appointed him Minister to

In delivering the opinion of the STU
preme Court in the Berliner patent
case Mr.. Justice Brewer in substance
afiirms the right Of property in an idea.
Nor does the affirmation appear as an
obiter dictum. 1t appears as the de-
cision Of question involved in the case
and distinctly decided. 1.-The Court.
he Justice Brewery says. dissented en-
tirely from the views urged by coun-
sci that the applicant for patent was
Quasi-trustee for the public. but held
that an invention was the absolute
property Of its inventor" II this re-
port Of the opinion Is correct the Ques-
ton 80 long disputed Is settled for this
country as q matter Of law. 1t L. evil
dent that counsel commended. Us many
have most strictly until now, that the
inventor has no property right In his
idea. They contended that patents ON
inventions are granted not In recogni-
ton Of any right Of the inventor, but
only as a measure Of public policy-to
encourage the exercise Of the inventive
faculty for the public advantage. 1t Is
only in accordance with this view that
the applicant for a patent can be re-
garded as q trustee for the public The
Court, we are told, dissents entirely
from this view and holds that an inven-
ton is the absolute property Of the In.
ventor, who is in no legal sense a trus-
tee for the public. This certainly is
good common sense, and it is crafty
ing to he assured that it Is also good
law. II man has not an absolute
property right in the product Of his
mind 1t is impossible to conceive Of
anything to which he has a property
right. Surely that which a man Gre
ates himself by the exercise Of his mind
his own more evidently than any
lateral thing is his own, because the
material thing is not of his own crea-
ton nor can 1t be by any possibility.

The Fish Commissioner of Indiana
says: THE greed for more land closes
the eyes Of Il vast majority of the peo-
pie to the fact that an acre of water,
all other conditions being the same, is
capable Of producing far more food
stuff than IS an acre of soil. The small
amount of land that Is redeemed by
lowering or draining the lakes is not
commensurate with the amount of
food producing conditions that are thus
destroyed" This may De Il valuable
hint to farmers, who have so long suf-
fered from the low prices of wheat and
corn. At all events the farmer with a
fish pond Is enabled to agrccslbly vary
his own diet.

MAKING BEET SUGAR.
Description of the Process from the
Field to the GRADUATED Product.

FieId To the Gr0nuI0te0 frOiucts
First the beets are brought In by the
farmers, says the Manufacturer, and
deposited in large sheds with V-shaped
bottoms, which are connected with the
factory by means of channels, through
which "a moderate flow of water carries
the beets into the first washing ma
chine. BY means of spiral the beets
are tumbled about. washed and carried
on until they drop into an elevator,
which carries them to the top Of the
building, where they pass through an
automatic weigher and are sliced in
such manner as to open up the pores
Of the beet as far as possible. The SUI
gar beet is very similar to the honey
comb, and in it's little cells Is secreted
the sweet matter, so that in slicing it is
desirable to open up as many Of these
cessity Of having the knives sharp. so
that the cells may not be ruptured, but
clean cut. AS these slices come from I'M
der the cutter they are put In what is
known as a diffusion battery. In this
battery the sugar is extracted by soak
ing the sliced beets in water. Warm
water Is turned into the contents Of n
large jar holding several tons of sliced
beets. The water circulates through
the mass Of cossettes (the name given
to the slices Of beets) and passes out
through the bottom by means Of a pipe

Bees Are Valiant Soldiers.

History records two instances In
which bees have been used in warfare
as weapons against besieging forces.
The first is related by Appian of the
siege of Themiscyra in Pontus by Luz
cullus in his war against Mithridates.
Turrets were brought up. mounds were
built and huge mines were made by
the Romans. The people Of Themis.
cyra dug open these mines from above
and through the holes cast down upon
the workmen bears and other wild ami.
mails and hives or swarms Of bees.
The second instance Is recorded in an
Irish manuscript in the Bibliothequs
Royale, at Brussels, and tells how the
Danes and Norwegians attacked Ches-
ten, which was defended by the Sax
ons and some Gaelic auxilaries. The
Danes were worsted by a stratagem,
but the Norwegians, sheltered by hur-
dies, tried to pierce the walls of the
town-when. what the Saxons and
the Gaiedhl who were among them
did was to throw down large rocks,
by which they broke down the hurdles
over their heads" What the Others
did to check this was to place large
posts under the hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to put
all the beer and water Of the town into
the caldrons Of the town, to boil them
and spill them down upon those who
were under the hurdles, so that thei1
skins were peeled of. The remedy
which the LOchians applied to this was
to place hides outside ON the hurdles
What the Saxons did next was to
throw down all the beehives in the
town upon the besiegers. which pre-.
vented them from moving their hand,
or legs from the number Of bees which
strung them. They afterward desisted
and left the city.-London Athenaeum
