Considerat,on For Horses, Nerves.

There is rule in livery stable in New York, where only the animals of the rich are kept, that no man shall shout at the horses. Horses of good blood are nervous, and loud, excited conversation is felt by every horse that hears it, and it keeps him nervous and uneasy. No man is allowed to use pro- fane language in the hearing of the horses.

He returned unexpectedly one night and took his place at the key for few minutes to open up conver- sation with me.

Patents In Jnpan.

No patent is granted to foreigner in Japan. No foreign inventor, by ap- plying through Japanese citizen, can obtain a patent except by fraud, If patent were obtained by false repre- sentation that the Japanese citizen was the inventor and it was discovered that he was not, the patent would be at once cancelled. It is precisely the same with trademarks and designs-theSe are no registration and no protection. The re- suit is that all goods of foreign produce and manufacture, of which the label is worth copying, can be bought all over Japan of Japanese manufacture, and at quarter of fractional part of the cost of the original and genuine foreign made article. -ham's Horn

and of reducing our SIX or seven forms OF

origin and character, based upon the same
general principles as the present National
bank note.
The issue of such a currency. it was
agreed, must be under guarantees as sound
as the foundation of the National bank

gress at the extra session to authorize the
President of the United States TO appoint
