GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of an HOnOred Trade Name Ups
held by the United States
Circuit Court

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
Francisco, has just won legal victory
which is of utmost public interest, as it
establishes judicially fact long recog-
nized ethically that the name or the
title of an article is valuable property,
entitled to the same protection as chat

cellent laxative which has been extern

able reputation under the name Syrup

the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matter in the United States
courts and obtained permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:

A COSTLY ERROR.
The Merchant Thought the Assessor
Was a Representative of
BradBtreets.

One of the lawyers says that client of
his is the hero of this story, and that it
happened here within a year or two. A
man from the assessors Office went into
the store of a Hebrew merchant in the
pursuit of his duties. The two had a slight
acquaintance, so that the assistant asses
sor did not think it necessary to explain his
business. He was rather surprised when,
in answer to his questions, the storekeeper
proceeded to dilate on the value of his stock.

said the assessors man.

Won't malg 10 mistake"
So the assessors man did it. There was
lamentation in the store when the tax bill
showed the proprietor that he was taxed
on $500 personal, and he rushed over to
the assessors Office with all possible speed
"Nat ISIS dis? Vat iss dis?" he asked
them, excitedly Il have no personal but de
stock in my store. I'm liar if it's WORT

They told him that the records showed
that he had given the figure to the as.

YACHTING.

With nearly all who are seeking a
live for the summer season a prime
requisite is suitable water for sailing.
There are many desires and different
ideas on this subject as on fishing or
any other sport. For some racing alone
is attractive, for others long cruises
with frequent stopovers making good
harbors necessities, and then there are
great many who desire quiet water
and with whom safety is the first
thought. Long Island with its two
hundred and fifty miles of coast line
offers to every class of sailor his heart
felt desire. Yachtsmen have found the
sail around Long Island one of the most
attractive and varied courses known
Along the track of the big liners on the
Ocean or South Shore, or down the
Sound with its numberless bays, beauti-
full harbors and safe anchorage; the
harbors surrounded as they are by
wooded hills, beautiful towns and pic
turesque villages, abrupt bluffs and
stretching beauties of the South Shore

Sound the early trials of all the famous
racers which have successfully defend
ed the cup against all comers for years
have been made. Many of the most fa-
nous clubs have fine houses and every
possible comfort for the yachtsmen.
On the South Shore there is another at
traction in its Great South Bay, Shinne-
cock Bay and the many connections
separated from the Ocean by Fire Is
land. While the water is constantly
changing, and the breezes meet little
obstruction, there are no heavy rollers
and white caps, and the factor of safety
is raised to very high point. The
| fastest cat-boats are built in this sec
ton, and are known everywhere, and
many famous yachtsman of to-day
took his first lessons and gained his
skill and experience on these waters.
An unequaled advantage is the fact
that all points on the Island are in close
touch with Greater New York by fast
express trains and further by telegraph
and long distance telephone.

This anecdote is related of the Aus

pronounced in criminal court and the
document was brought in to the en-

commenced writing his name when a
tear fell from his eye, blotting out the

able one to prepare a coop in a short
time and almost at no cost. AS the
chicks will be removed after they are
large enough to run about, the coop
may then be used for the next young
brood.
More properly No. may be termed
a cover for the feed dish, or it may be
made larger for contining a hen, the
chicks to run in and out. Simply at
tach handle to an old basket or a
box of any kind and make entrance
holes of a diameter just sufficient to
permit young chicks to run in and out.
The bottom of the basket or box should
first be removed.
The object is that, when feeding
young chicks, their food may be so
covered as to protect it from larger
chicks or fowls, while the chicks can
help themselves unmolested.-Poul

EASE THE WORN NERVES.
A WOman's Life Should Not BE ALI
Rush and Hurry If She Wants
to BE Truly Happy.

The word duty in the mouth of the
ordinary woman is synonymous with
discomfort. The secret of happiness
consists in looking upon what one must
do in this world as the pleasantest
thing life offers. 1t is only another
case of the point of view. The people
who stay young longest and who are
most attractive, whether young or old,
are those who do things that they ought
to do, not from a sense of duty, but be-
cause it is a pleasure.
The woman who stays up at night to
nurse sick friend or to finish a dozen
shirts for the heather because duty
alone prompts her, while it is weari-
ness of the flesh only sustained by the
Communications of conscience, is doing
herself and the relative or the heather
wrong. She is dragging through task
which is repugnant to her, and she
shows in her face before many years
have passed lines indicative of unneces-
sary worry.
Contrast with the nervous, hurried
woman the wholesome, red-cheeled
matrOn who takes things easy" 1t is
not necessary to neglect home or hus-
band to do this, for she does quite as
much in her way as the woman who is
always rushed to death" The one
who lives by conscience feels that she
must do by her neighbors as they do
by her, and consequently her friends
receive invitations to dine at her house
even when they find the hostess in
state bordering in nervous prostration.
She must return the hospitalities she
has received at any cost, and if her in
come is limited she will make up the
deficiency by overwork and overworry.
Her friends know this, and it is trial
for them to dine at her house. 1t is
absurd to say that one hasn't time to
take care of ones self or must not offer
poorer fare than one Chicago

SOME ODD UMBRELLAS.
Europeans Take More Pride in Their
Rain Protectors Than Do PeO-
pie of This Country.

Many curious umbrellas are made.
PIT in ones pocket. The stick is of
wood about an inch in diameter. The
cover can be turned inside out and
folded into small bundle. BY touch
ing a spring the rihS come off, straight
en- out and may pe placed in the hol-
low of the stick, which is then a very
presentable walking stick. 1t is found
very convenient by it's owner, who is Il
drummer. Another is still more in
genious. The handle is curved, and
when spring is pressed a pipe flies out.
The ribs are slowed away in the cen
ter and the owner has walking stick,
but in the center there is also a rapier,
which may be drawn out. Another neat
invention is a hollow stick which con-
tains camp chair. Three steel sup
ports are pressed out of the top of the
stick, triangular piece of canvas put
on, and seat is had which is at least
as comfortable as bicycle saddle. All
Of these strange umbrellas come from
the old world. The umbrella-makers
say that Europeans take much more
pride in their umbrellas than do people
of this country. Many little jokes are
concealed in the umbrella handles
there. A handle may present the ap-
pearance of the head of monkey or
cat or some other animal, and a secret
spring will cause the little creature to
open its mouth and squirt a drop of
cologne on the beholder.-John Gilmer

the edge with a ruffle of spangled tulle

ruching is arranged over the shoulders

INTRODUCING QUEENS.
Description of n Method Which Has
Been Tried Successfully by
Skilled Beekeeper.

Some years ago | sent to Massachu-
setts queen-breeder for six queens, and
they were to be introduced according to
his plans, and if any failed to become
safely introduced the dead would be re-
placed by living queens. His instruc-
tions were to remove the old queen from
the hives that were to receive the new
stock; and bare of the candy, at once
lay the cage over the frames and close
the hive for five days-a thing which l
did and found only one queen that had
been accepted. Two or three years later,
says writer in the American Bee Jour
nal, | received an albino queen from
an Iowa breeder, but this time l made
the colony queenless thatwas to receive
the queen As hours before introducing,
and lost my queen. | could not under
stand why it was that these queens,
coming from a distance, were rejected
by my bees when | had no trouble in
introducing my own stock among my
own. Maybe some one can tell. l sent
south last spring for SO queens, and
when they arrived all were laid on the
shelf, and 4S two-frame nuclei were
made, and all shut up tight with wire
screen until As hours had passed. then
the As queens were laid on top of the
frames, as befoae, and every single one
was accepted. All had started cells in
abundance, but when the queens were
set free all cells were destroyed. l
did not wait five days, either, to see
what was going on, but took a look at
any of them at any time l chose. The
remaining two were introduced in full
colonies, but not confined with equal
safety. | think | would not be afraid
of introducing ans number when done
as above. Though others may have
plans that work equally well, l am not
afraid of this plan in my hands.
