celebrated Isaac Newton facetiousIy dubbed by
his contemporaries Sir Isaac. down to the ad-
vent Of the present Administration did mora
fc- the Improvement ard development Of the
Patent Office than ne has done When Mr.. Dueu
assumed its direction he found the work Of the
Patent Office months behind; there was a de-
plorable lack Of system in nearly all its di-
visions barnacles grew thick upon its sides and
the number of clerks holding sinecures was
legion He speedily reorganized the Office, with
the result that the same force, properly dis
-Ibuted accomplished more than ever before,
much TO the qualification of the attorneys who
practise before the Patent Office. But the Com
missioner was not content with this. He was
ambitious 10 bring the work OF the Office up TO
date, and he succeeded IN getting Congress TO
increase the appropriations so that he could
employ a force adequate for its needs.
Although q strict disciplina-ian, Mr.. Duen has
won the respect and regard OF his subordinates,
who find him appro2chabIe and responsive, in
striking contrast 10 one Of his predecessors of
unsavory memory, who caused word to be cir
culate5 about the Department that he would
prefer not 10 be worried by the greetings of his
clerks, and 10 another credited with expressing
the wish that The employees in his Office might
be uniformed 50 that he could distinguish them.

Long before lie came 10 Washington Mr.. Duell
had made q National reputation, his practice ex-
tending al over The country. but il was by no
means exclusively National as he was one Of
the most popular men in his own home widely
known and loved The campaign occupies uni

The following letter, written by a young
japanese student TO one Of the members of
club in which he is a waiter, is an excellent
example Of English as she is written by the
Or5entals who seek to master her:

and met with The steward Mr.. John at the
entrance. He stepped back q few PAGES, and
checking my way, ordered me TO leave WIN
many repetitiOns Of abOminable oaths which
z man Of some honor can't restrain his passion
from revolt on such violent shower Of curse.
Anger was beyond my control and lnFolun-
taTily returned my share OF compliments upon
which he snatched the potato masher and was
brutal enough TO give me two severe blows on
ny person and lnTlCtlng quite palhIuL INJURY.
