kin.hip of King. Of Europe.

The sovereign families of Europe, de-
spite all political differences, form one
vast family, closely bound by ties of
blood land innumerable intermarriages
This will be understood better when il
is stated that every crowned head in
Europe at the present moment is de-
seconded from Mary Queen of Scots, with
the exception of the king of Sweden
(who is the descendant of Bernadotte.
one of Napoleon's chessmen). the king
of Servia twho was recently but peas
anti, and the princes of Monaco and
Montenegro. Common origins could
be found further back than Mary. while
some monarchs, like the German EN-
peror and the car of Russia, might be
descended differently by following the
male line. There has been no room to
show that the king of Roumania claims
Mary as his ancestor. Mary Queen of
Scots has over 1.1s0 descendants living

Of vernal bloom, would harbor find

The iris and pinks and mignonette,
The tiger-lilies and tall white phlox,

LAUGH ON THE TEACHER.
Pupils Truthful Response to an In
visible Problem Creates Fun
for Her Fellows.

1T was at the normal school that
this happened. and the class laughed,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. 1t was
laugh on the teacher, too, but he
didn't get angry, although it did
break into the serious contemplation of
serious studies with which he was
trying to interest the students. 1t
was in the study of psychology, and
they were discussing what ideas first
entered the human nina when GER
tain words were spoken or written
whether the mind thought of one GER
tain object designated by the word
or the whole general class which is
embodied in that word. To expert
ment on this mental phenomenon. in
order to bring it more clearly to the
attention of the students, the profess
! sor said he would write a word on the
! board, and then let one of them tell
/ instantly what impression was made
upon her mind. He called upon one of
the pupils to be ready to think quick
! ly and tell what her first thought
! he was about to write. He stood
close to the board, so that the word
was hidden by his shoulders until he
| turned He wrote the word pig
! and all of the class saw it except the
girl who was standing ready to make
reply. When he turned, he didn't get
out of her way, and she couldn't see
the word. In reply to his sharp
quick question:
''Now. what do you see?" she re
piled, naively: IL see you.", And the
class laughed.

Supreme Court Sustains the Foot

Supreme Court sustatns the Foot
Ease Trademark.
Justice Laughlfn, in the supreme court,
Buffalo, has ordered permanent Injunction,
with costs and full accounting of sales, to
issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manu-
facturer of the foot powder called 'rDr.
Clark's Foot Powder, and also against a
retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them
from making or selling the DIR. Clark's
Foot Powder, which is declared, in the in
junction of the court, an imitation and in
fringement of 1'Foot-Ease," the powder to
shake into your shoes, now so largely ad-
vertised and sold over the country Allen
8. Olmsted, of Leroy, n. Y, is the owner of
the trademark 'Foot-Ease," and he is the
first individual who ever advertised foot
powder extensively over the country. Tie
decision in this case upholds his trademark
and renders all parties liable who fraudu-
lently attempt to profit by the extensive
Foot Ease" advertising, in placing upon
the market spurious and similar appear
ing preparation, labeled and put up in en-
velopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar
suits will be brought against others who
are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade
mark and common law rights.
