UNSELFlSH LOVE.

It takes great love to stir human heart
To live beyond the others and apart.
A loEs that is not shallow, is not small,
Is not for one, or two, but for them all.
Love that can wound love, for its higher
need;
Love that can leave love, though the heart
may bleed;
Love that can lose love, family and friend;
Yet steadfastly live, loving, to the end.
A love that asks no answer, that can live
Moved by one burning, deathless force-to
give.
Love, strength and courage-courage,
strength and love;
The heroes of all time are built thereof.
Charlotte Perkins Stetson.

Picks From Portugal,

Next to Portugal, Japan sends the
greatest supply of toothpicks to the
United States. These are made by
hand from fine reeds. They, too, are
sold in close competition with the
American product, owing to the
cheaper labor in Japan. The cases in
which the japanese picks are inclosed
are fine specimens of skill with the
iackknife. They are of wood, cut into
strips as thin and delicate as tissue
paper, but very strong, The cases
are ornamented with hand-painted
japanese scenes and are of size con-
venient to be carried in the vest
pocket. The competition between the
japanese and Portuguese makers on
the one side and American manufac-
turers on the other has become very
keen. An importer of toothpicks said
recently that the japanese !picks can
be made and sold in the American
market, cases and all, for less than
the cost of the paper boxes that con-
tain the domestic picks. Philadelphia

The patent laws of Japan afford lit
tie protection to foreign manufacturers
or inventors. A native may patent any
trade mark of foreigner if the pat
ent be taken out before the real owner
has moved in the matter. Then the
only course open to the owner is to buy
from the native the right to use his
own trade mark in Japan.

younger days he was good horseman
and an excellent pistol shot. and
though he possessed mild character
and gentle disposition, he was abso-
lutely without fear. When very young
he studied telegraphy and began the
practice Of 1t at time when telegraph
lines were strung along turnpikes and
highways and not along railways. In
deed, there were but few railroads in
the west at the time he commenced
with telegraphy. His first engagement
was with the old Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and Louisville line, and he remained
with this line, receiving from time to
time many promotions, till it was final
ly consolidated with the Western Union
Telegraph company. Then he visited
different points in the northern coun-
try, working at short engagements in
many different places. In 1859, while
working at Indianapolis, he accepted a
good position on Indiana railroad lines
With headquarters at Indianapolis. In
that position he continued till 1867.
when he was made superintendent Of
the indianapolis, Cincinnati and La
fayette railroad lines, with his own
headquarters at Cincinnati.
In 1864, when the civil war was in
progress. he had frequent occasion to
go to the union front and set up or re-
pair or take down telegraph plants.
On one of these occasions he ventured
too near to the confederate lines and
being belligerent in the true sense he
was soon let go.
