WHAT TRADEMARKS COST.
Cheaper Here than in Many Other
Countries of the World.

Cheaper Here than In many Other
Countries of the World.
The registration of trade marks has
become a necessity of late years, for
unless an article Of merit is protected
by such means or by letters patent it
Is sure to be initiated by some unscrup-
ulous person. 1t is only within a few
years, however, that the question OF
protecting trade marks has assumed
grave Importance. This is due to the
enormous increase in advertising OF
health foods, cereals, patent medicines
and athletic novelties. The tariff of
charges for registering trade marks In
the various countries seems in some
instances to be based upon the idea
that authorized labels and the like are
as much luxury as a coach and four.
In Zululand, Peru, Uruguay, Hong
Kong and Granada the tariff fixed by
law for each trade mark is $145 in gold.
the highest on the entire list. In this
country trade marks are filed with the
patent Office and the price for register
ing one ia $55, which is the lowest rate
charged anywhere. Canada charges $50
for general or special trade mark.
There are some countries of Europe
that demand 500 for registering a
trade mark, but in Great Britain, Ger
many, Austria, France and Spain the
fee in each case is SIS. This is the
rate asked in the majority of the Eng
lish colonies, including New South
Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape
Colony 1t is Sis and in South Africa
S135. The latter price is also demanded
in Costa Rica. Some of the bargain

Jamaica, British Guiana, Mauritius,
Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Chilli,
Guatemala, Sierra Leone and Bulgaria,
each of which charges Sis. Little
Venezuela is content with $500 for the
privilege of recording the existence OF
patent label. There are thousands of
trade marks that are never heard OF
by the great masses, because they are
not properly advertised. The majority
of trade mark lawyers realize big prof
its fighting infringements of private
marks rather than in registering new
ones. One of them has just settled a
case that was in the courts for four
years. The single word ''favorite" was
at issue and the courts have decided
that there is no exclusive proprietary
right in the word as a trade mark. One
of the most successful lawyers, who
represents the interests of big cereal
firm and cracker establishment as we'll,
says that it costs more than $4,000 an
nually to protect his clients from those
who twist the names OF brands in
every conceivable way.

How to Dress Calves.

Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about one hundred
pounds, or, say, from eighty to one
hundred and twenty pounds, are the
most desirable weights for shipment.
The head should be cut out, so as to
leave the hide of the head on the skin.
The legs should be cut off at the knee

New Food Plant in Africa.

German papers speak of an annual
plant growing in tropical Africa, be-
longing to the leguminous class, which
is largely cultivated by the negroes as
a food article, writes Consul General
Richard Guenther of Frankfort. 1t has
also been introduced to some extent in
Southern Asia and in Brazil. It is
called woandsu by the African ne
groes; the botanical name is Glycine
subterranca. The French expert chem
list of ailments has recently analysed
the fruit of the woandsu with reference
to its chemical composition and its
value as food. The fruit, like the pea
nut, natures under the ground. The
eatable kernel has the shape of an egg,
and is dark red, with black stripes and
a white hilGm, like most beans. 1t
furnishes a very white flour, whose
flavor after cooking much resembles
that of chestnuts. The chemical compo-
sition is So per cent of starchy sub
stance, 10 per cent heterogeneous, 10 per
cent celulose substance and 3 per
cent ashes. 1t will be seen that two
pounds of these beans would supply
the daily requirements Of the human
system.

THE POLAR BEAR.
Some OF His characteristics Described


by an Observer.
The character of the polar bear is
a curious mixture OF cowardice and
daring, for it will fly at the sight Of
man. but will often come close up to
the huts and sometimes even try to
enter them.
When met with in the water, bears
are killed with harpoons. On receiv-
ing the first wound, the animal utteTs
loud roars, seizes the weapon with his
teeth, pulls it out of the injured part
and hurls it far away Sometimes,
but by no means invariably, it will
turn upon its assailant. Quickly it re-
ceives another spear or bird arrow
from a second kayak man, against
whom 1t turns after treating his weap-
times breaking it, and in this way the
struggle is continued until the bear is
overcome. The most important pre-
cautionary rule which the hunters
have to observe is, when during the
fight the animal has dived, TO keep a

in order that it may not
come up unawares right under the
kayak. It's white CLEAN can always be
seen when it approaches the surface,
and there is time to get away If 1t be
coming too near When bear is en-
countered In the water, or amid some
what scattered Ice. its capture is con-
sidered a certainty for, although an
excellent swimmer, it cannot get away
from kayak. In the northern colo
mics where they are seldom seen, the
Greenlanders appear to be afraid Of
them, but such is far from being the
case in the Julianshaab district, where,
in the water, at any rate, they are con-
sidered much less dangerous than the
walrus or the hooded seal.

American BOY md His sIster.

The American girl is rapidly prov
ing that she is superior to the Amer
lean boy in great many respects when
it comes to getting an education. 1t
may not be true that girls are brighter
than their male fellow students, but it
is undoubtedly true that they are more
conscientious, to begin with, and that
counts for much. Then they take pride
in their work, and that is a wonderful
spur to effort. Every high school COM
mencement furnishes proof of the fact
that girls work harder and to better
purpose than do the boys. Almost al
ways four-ffths of the graduates are
girls, and the great majority of them
go through the twelve years of school
work without missing a single promo
ton. Some boys are compelled to drop
out Of the high schools to go to work,

Toast tn the Horse.

DR.. Kane, president Of the New York
Drivers association. at a public dinner
recently, delivered the following toast
to the horse:

docility Of a slave, the proud courage
Of a king and the blind obedience of
a good soldier. The companion of the

A TICKETS LIMITATIONS.
Unique Feature of Danish Railways Arr
FortnightIy Tickets.


Denmark was absolutely the pioneer
in cheap railway fares. The fares
were reduced all round, so that the
longer the distance the greater the re-
duction, but, at the same time, the
return ticket system was abolished for
journeys within Denmark. One of the
greatest boons to business men and
holiday makers is the so-called fort
nightly ticket For third-class it costs
22s Sd and for second class 6 lbs Cd.
Such a ticket entities the holder to
travel all over Denmark for a term OF
fourteen days. He can go wherever he
cares to go, and as many times over
the same route as he may wish within
the time paid for-namely, fourteen
days. A holiday maker may visit
every place of interest in Denmark
during that time and, If he found any
pleasure in travelling from town to
town night and day for the period he
could do so. He pays the price OF
6 l rs Sd, with a deposit of 5s Cd for
the ticket, on which a photograph of
the holder is pasted, and at the ex-
piration of the fourteen days he re-
turns the ticket and gets the IS Cd de-
post back He can also buy ticket
for month, and the longer the time
the greater the reduction. While a
fortnightly ticket costs 22s Sd, r.
month ticket costs &10. If the pas
senger had to pay for twelve-month
ticket at the rate of % Sd per fort
night it would cost him G26 las. Thus
the reduction is over $50 per cent. If
instead of paying for a fortnightly
ticket a traveller went from Esbjerg to
Copenhagen and back as often as he
could within fourteen days, and
bought ordinary tickets for each trip.

amount would be doubled in a fort

snnilsd by Overweight.

Farm Poultry, an influential Boston
publication, has of late been inviting
opinions concerning the proper weight
of the American breeds Of chickens,
among which are the Plymouth
Rocks and the Wyandottes. We
should say that fully two-thirds
of the breeders who have ex-
pressed themselves on the sub
ject take the position that the stand
ard weight is too high. 1t is claimed
that the medium-sized birds of these
families are almost invariably better
layers than those which meet the de-
mands Of the standard in regard to
weight. One well-known poultry
Judge. in his contribution to the dis
cussion, says that not more than one
Plymouth Rock in twelve which pass
through his hands at the shows is up
to standard weight. If the men who
patronize the shows meet with diff
Guilty in getting their birds up to
standard weight how much more of n
task it must be for farmers who, as
a rule, can give but fraction Of their
time to the study of the problems OF
the poultry yard. And if this heavy
weight is obtained at the sacrifice of
the laying qualities why not cut it
down? Some advertisers take great
pains to have it known that their
birds are fully up to standard weight.
Farmers should know that they can
easily pay more money for that kind
of Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes
than they are worth.

The fearful ravages of the San Jose
scale are plainly evident in some OF
our best peach-growing states. We
believe that some of our Illinois men
that are laughing at this pest as of
no consequence would quickly change
their minds il they could go through
the peach-growing sections of our At
lantic states. Whole orchards have,
within two years, had to be cut down,
each orchard consisting of thousands
of trees. A representative of the
Farmers Review recently visited an
orchard of thousands of trees that are
apparently doomed to the axe. The
trees are just coming into bearing, but
are so covered with the scale that
treatment is almost out of the ques-
ton.
The question OF destroying plant lice
by fumigation is a live one and one
that is being exploited. OF old we used
to kill rose lice with the fumes of to-
bacco. The present mode includes the
killing of tree and plant insects by
more powerful gases. Thus the San

assistance of hydrocyanic gas. applied
to the trees when the latter have been
covered with big tents. With small
peach trees the application becomes
easy. especially when the trees are
low-headed. Later experimenters are
using the same gas to destroy lice on
vegetables. Small caps are made, to
be placed over each plant, and inside
is dropped a small amount of the
chemicals that make the gas. In ten
minutes the insects are all dead, and
the plant uninjured. The process is,
however, only in its experimental
