TRADE MARKS.
What Ii Cost. TO Register Them In
Various Countries.

The business of registering trademarks
has become most important industry.
There was a time, ,comparatiyelytfe few
years ago. when the question: Of protect
ing trademarks did not 'enter into tho
commercial value Of the articles involved
as 1t does now. This IL due To the enor-
nous Increase in advertising Of health
foods, cereals. patent medicines and nth-
letie novelties. The tariff OF charges for
registering trademarks In the various
countries seems in some Instances TO be
based upon the idea that authorized la
bells and the like are as mucha luxury as
a coach and four. In Zululand. Peru.
Uruguay. Hongkong and Granada the
tariff liked by law for each trademark Is
S145 In gold the highest on the entire
list
In this country trademarks are filed
with the patent Office, and the price for
registering one Is S5j. which is the lowest
rate charged anywhere. Canada charges
ouly $50 for general or IA special trade
mark There are some countries in Eu-
rope thar demand 500 for registering a
trademark. but in Great Britain. Ger
many. Austria, France and Spain the fee
In each case is $50. This is the rate ask
ed In the majority OF the English colo
MES, including New South Wales and
New Zealand. but In Cape Colony II Is
$ll5 and ia South Africa Sl35. The lat
ter price Is also demanded In Costa Rica.
Some Of the bargain counter sales OF reg
istry for trademarks are obtainable In
the Leeward islands. Jamaica. British
Guiana. Mauritius. Argentine Republic
Bolivia. Chile, Guatemala. Sierra Leone
and Bulgaria, each OF which charges
Si15. Little Venezuela Is content with
500 for the privilege OF recording the
existence OF a patent label.
There are thousands OF trademarks that
are never heard OF by the great masses,
because they are not properly advertised.
The majority OF trademark lawyers real
ize big profits fighting infringements OF
private marks rather than In registering
new ones. One OF them has just'settled
a case that was In the courts for3four
years. The single word "fayorite" was
at issue, and the courts have decided that
there Is no exclusive proprietary right In
the word as trademark. One Of the
most successful lawyers. who represents
the interests OF n big cereal firm and a
cracker Establishment rs well. says that

II managed in a certain way, she pro-
poses to do il herself
In her home life Mrs. Kidder conducts
a household that is the ideal OF hospital
lty. The house is elegantly furnished aud
Is a mansion in size and Costumes. yet
there is not q miner or railroad employee
so humble that he does not receive the
same cordial welcome at the threshold
that is accorded to the most fashionable
and wealthy callers. The kidder home
is also placed at the disposal of the dis
tinguished men and women OF the day
who happen to come TO Grass Valley to
view the mines of the historic little city.
Like her husband. when he was living,
there is but one thing in which Mrs. Kid
der takes more pride than in the Nevada
County Narrow Gauge railroad, and that
is in the home over which she presides.
She says it is fine place and a pleasant
home, and she wants all her friends to
share her enjoyment of it.
Mrs. Kidder's sole companion is her
adopted daughter Miss Beatrice Kidder.
whom she loves and cares for as tenderly
as ever did a mother for her own. Mrs.
Kidder says she does not see how she is
going to pass the time while her daughter
Is finishing her education. and the only
solution she can think of is to busy her
self the more in her manifold daily duties.
Mrs Kiddcr's railroad is only % miles
long. but it cost S6J0,000. 1t runs from
colfax. on the Central Pacific. through
Grass Valley to Nevada City. 1t runs
four passenger trains each way daily and
a couple OF freight trains. As the popula-
ton OF the two principal towns is about
5000 and 6,000 respectively, it may be
well understood how well the road pros
pers in business way.

A SUNDAY HORSE RACE.

One Of those men who came in from the

When a woman is happy, she is usually

An interesting discussion on the rela-
lions between womans development and
privileges and her economic independence
Is reported to have taken place recently
in English ladies' literary society.
The fundamental relations between
property and privilege were discussed, and
the peculiar bea ring Of the generally az.
repted opinion that Husbands keep their.
wives" But il was shown that in do
nestle labor women really earn" as
much as men do abroad and that the
earnings. though not translated into csin,
can still be reckoned up at the end of the
week as SO much TO the good of the com
mon stock. This can be proved by a
husband paying Others to do what his
wife generally does. and the figures would
come out approximately as to what wo-
man relatively earns, especially among
the working classes. Some ladies repu-
dated the thought that a woman should
or could be paid for what are 'isbors of
love. but Mrs. Slopes pointed out that
there should be no humilia ton IL the true
conception of matrimony was understood.
II should be "a union OF souls and a part
nership in interests" In business there
may be three partners in concern; one
may be the buyer. another The seller, the
third may keep the books. But they all
share alike. The separate workssof the
three are needed TO the completion Of the
whole. So in matrimony. "1hey who
abide with the stuff" should share with
those who so forth to war. This was I'M
derstood by the trainers of the prayer
book, who bid the man say, with all my
worldly goods / thee endow" Ii this CON
ception were understood dpd ACTED oh,
there need be no humiliation In women
receiving and spending money earned by
heir husbands, and their due recognition
rs entities might follow. ~.

Strange Behavior.


A mirth provoking scene once took
place in the palace Of a former Duke of
Hamilton.
The duke. had invited one Of his neigh
oors, 4 plain spoken laird. to stop Mt the
palace. for luncheon after the conclusion
Of 'btsinessstransaction.
The laird was not used to the luxuries
OF life and watched with an impatient
eye the Fittings about of liyeried sery-
ant, who seemed to, be everywhere at
once, anticipating the laird's wants In n
way that struck the rustic as positively
uncanny. .'-1,
AT last the guest turned deliberately
about in his chair and addressed the serv-
ant N a tone of considerable irritation.

SAYING Di.asreeabie Things.

take great delight in saying disagreea6le
things TO their friends, but there are very
