When Lord Dundonald was in Kashmir
some years ago he noticed that the peas
antry kept themselves warm by means OF
small vessels which contained burning
charcoal. The expedition to Gilghit was in
progress at the time. and numbers of the
carriers employed were perishing Of cold
in the mountain passes. 1t then occurred
to Lord Dundonald that II some safe and
portable means Of burning slow combustion
fuel had been available their lives might
have been saved. and. further. that such q
means could not but be useful in time Of

GRANT TO METHODIST MISSIONARY.
Bishop HartzcII Secures 5000 Acres
ia African Mountains.

Advices from Della goa Bay state that
Bishop Hartzell of the Methodist Episcopal
Church is being received with the greatest
cordlality on his tour of Africa. He has
been offered concessions in land and other
valuable properties for missionary pur-
| poses. One donation includes COCO acres I'M
der the British flag in a mountainous and
healthy region.
The bishop is.on his way to Beira. 500
miles further north on the east coast from
which point he will go inland several hun
dred miles to locate this concession. His
plan is to make this point a base of opera
ton from which to extend missions north
ward to the equatorial lake regions, and
northwestward to Angola on the west
coast, from which chain of Methodist
missions are already being pushed east
ward. The bishops wife accompanies him.
Claret Not French.
From Notes and Queries
1T is curious, by the way, that the word
claret as applicable to red wine. is I'M
known in France, having, indeed. no terser
equivalent than the generic win de Bor-
deaux, and its origin is by no means GER
tain. 1t has been supposed to be derived
from the word clair; but the obvious objec-
uon Is that Ii is anything but transparent
an adjective which would be much more
htly associated with sauterne or cham
payne. Here it may be incidentally re-
| marked that in England grave is always
assumed to be white wine, and even Littres
Dictionary gives-Grave, a white wine from
the environs of Grave, in the Bordeaux
country This. like the well-known defini-
ton of crab. is curious combination of
plumbers. In the first place, the win de
grave is as often red as white: indeed one
of the four premiers crus of claret, wiz the
Haul Brion, is a grave Secondly, there
Is no such village as Grave i'm the Gironde.
Grave (more often written graves is a spe-
cia! sort OF sandy gravel, and the vineyards
which produce the wine known by that
name extend along the left bank of the
Garonne from just below Bordeaux to
something like twenty miles southwark"
Skeat derives "claret' from Clear" the
original meaning being clarified wine, in
Old French claret, clairet: the word is OBJ
solete in France, although, strangely
enough, 1t is still used In this country

THE HosTETTER co. WINS ANOTHER
CASE.



Infringements ON Their Bitters Net
Tolerated by United states Court.
The United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge
Townsend presiding, handed down an opin-
ion December 23d, 1897, granting injunction
and accounting, in the suit of The Hostetter
Company against Isaac Sommers and Louis
Joseph, for infringement Of its Trade Mark.
The jurist states, in bold and clear language,
the rights accruing to the Hostetter Com
pany, and the liability incurred by all who
would rob them, by fraud or misrepresentar
ton, OF the well-earned reputation and
profits of q business built up by the efforts
OF half century. The judge says, in part:
The complainant is entitled to protec-
tion. against the appropriation of its trade
mark, BY any and all unfair and dishonor-
er to grant such protection whenever it il
satisfied that an attempt has been made by
ingenious subterfuees, to invade the rights
Of an owner of trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individual
manufacturer, who strives to acquire and
retain the fruits of industry and hon.
estys and the field of keen rivals, seeking
to wrest from him the prize of the public
goodwill, the inventive ingenuity OF the
infringer has conceived great variety of
devices for evading the established rules Of
tar dealing Courts Of equity find,
were to enable and induce the retail seller Of
fraudulent imitation to palm it of on an
unsuspecting public for the genuine article,
and thus to contribute to the infringement
upon the rights of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"
