The Cost Of Trademarks.

There was a time, comparative
ly few years ago, when the question
of protecting trademarks did not
enter into the commercial value Of
the articles involved as it does now.
This is due to the enormous in
crease in advertising health foods,
cereals, patent medicines and novel;
ties. The tariff Of charges for reg
istering trademarks in the various
countries seems in some instances
to be based upon the idea that au-
thorized labels and the like are a
luxury. In Zululand, Peru, Uru-
quay, Hongkong and Granada the
tariff fixed by law for each trade
mark is $145 in gold, the highest
on the entire list. b
In this country trademarks are
filed with the patent office, and the
price for registering one is $55,
which is the lowest rate charged
anywhere. Canada charges only $50
for a general or special trademark.
There are some countries Of Europe
that demand 800 for registering a
trademark, but in Great Britain,
Germany, Austria, France and Spain
the fee in each case is s$75. This is
the rate in the majority Of the Eng,
lish colonies, including New South
Wales and New Zealand, but in
Cape Colony tits $115 and in South
Africa S135. In Costa Rica also
$135 is demanded. American Wine

Tihetan Skull Drums.

A drum of an extreme repulsive-
ness of nature is one used by the
lamas of Tibet at some of their
church ceremonies. For this the
craniums Of two skulls, preferably
children's, are taken, and over the
concave side of each is stretched the
skin Of snake. The two skulls are
then cemented at their vertices to
either side Of wooden disk covered
with cotton cloth, the stretched
skins being outermost. These drums
are often ornamented by having the
heads of devils and such like hor-
rors, the more rapulsiVe the better,
painted upon them in red and blue
eolors. The method employed IN
playing them is rather curious. 70
the wooden disk between the two
halves a cord is fastened, by which
the drum can be suspended and then
rapidly rotated. Two short cords
with knobs at their ends hang down
in such way that as the drum re-
wolves they strike alternately on eli
ther face and thus produce a regu-
lar sstum, tum. Good Words.

The Way an American Evened Up

''Powelson, the pioneer of Ameri-

have to pay a franc each for all

Irish solicitude.

When shooting landlords was
more of an occupation In Irealnd
than it is now, thanks to laws more
favorable to tenants, certain lord
of the soil, who had cleared out half
a countryside, fell under the ban
of the Carders or Of the redoubta-
bic Rory Of the Hills, and two men
were selected to carry out the sem
tence of death. It was the doomed
mans custom to drive from his rent
Office in a neighboring townsto his
home at a certain hour on certain
day of the week, and secure in the
bracken behind a stone wall which
skirted the roadway the execution
ers lay in wait for their intended
victim.
The hour came and passed, but
no car bearing the landlord hove IN
view. Another hour slipped by, and
still no landlord. It was now late
in the afternoon, the shadows of
night were creeping over the moor
land, and the two watchers had
grown hungry and uneasy. Then.
there was a rattle of wheels over. the
broken stones on the roadway, and
the men grasped their blunderbusses
and peered out. But it was only q
