HOARDEO GOLD
Japan Receives $500, 900 Reserved for
War Three Centuries Ago.

(Tokio. Cor. London Times.)
We are often reminded that old
Japan is still with us, and that its
survival adds not merely a pictures
que, but also noble element to the
character Of the nation.
An illustration has just occurred.
Nearly three hundred years ago, when
Togugawa Iseyasu captured the Cas-
tie of Osaka from the Taiko's widow,
Yodo, and her son, Hideyori, he found
there large part Of the treasure that
the great Captain and statesman had
accumulated. 1t was in the form of
gold horses, for the Taiko's fancy
had been thus to stamp upon the pre-
cious metal an indication of the war;
like uses to which it was destined.
The Togugawa leader distributed
a great part of the treasure among
his chief retainers, and to his second
son, Norinao, he gave 800 ingots, with
an injunction that the gold should be
held as a reserve for use in a national
emergency. Norinao received in fief
the Province of Dwarf, and III the
vaults of the colossal castle built by
him at Nagoya the ingots lay UNI
touched until the fall of feudalism in
1874.
The feudal chiefs were then re-
duced to the position of simple gentle
men, with incomes representing a
mere fraction of their previous reve-
nues. But no official scrutiny was
made into the contents of their strong
rooms, and thus many emerged from
the debacle in much better financial
position than the gold figures of the
states communication scheme sug-
gested.
The Dwarf ingots, however, being
reserved from ordinary uses by the
injunction of Iyeyasu-an injunction
of absolutely binding force in the
eyes Of his descendants remained in
violate until few days ago, when
their owner, Marquis Girei, present
of the Dwarf family,
decided that the national emergency
by his illustrious ances-
tor had come The ingots havel val
ne of 100000 yen--f1O0, OOO-in
modern money.
1t would have been more than nat
ural that the head of one of the three
branches of the Tokuyawa
clan, which had been driven from ad
power and robbed of all
its ancient splendor by the present |
government, should have kept the |
treasure for its own enrichment, and
hat to hand it over to the national
,xchequer would have been his last
hought But japanese patriotism is
superior to vicissitudes of individual |
fortune.
Marquis Girei repaired to the tomb
n the presence Of his sons, his prin
.ipal relatives and some of his fam
ly's former vassals. invoked Nori-
lao's spirit to witness that the trust
opposed in him by the Tokueawa
chief had been faithfully observed
through three centuries, and that to
ransfer the treasure now to the cof-
sers of the state seemed true inter-
,retation of the purpose of Iyeyasu.
The gift has not evoked much com
nent in Japan. 1t appears to be con-
idered too appropriate to be extra
ordinary But it constitutes an in
eresting link between the old and the
lew.

been brought to the attention of men
who had money to manufacture ana
put them on the market through this
valuable publication. In the Gazette
the Government of the United States
takes the form of a proud father show
ing and explaining to his friends and
neighbors some remarkable production
of his children. 1t is one of the quiet
ways in which Uncle Sam advertises
the greatness of his people.
General NJ. D. Leggett, Commissioner
of Patents, from 1871 to 1874, was the
originator of the Gazette in it's present
weekly form. For about 20 years prior
to the publication of the weekly bulletin
the office had been in the habit of issu-
ing annual reports of the patents is
sued and the decisions of the commits
sioner. 1t was found that these re-
ports did not accomplish the good it
was intended they should because the
matter did not reach the persons inter-
ested in time to be of any great value.
Therefore Commissioner Leggett de-
cided to make a. change and on Janu-
airy 8, 1872, the first issue OF the weekly
gazette was published. In this issue
Commissioner Leggett printed an edi-
torial on the first page in which he
stated:
1.-The principal contents of the Ga
zette will be a list of all inventions
patented in the United States, accom-
panied with a transcript Of the claims,
the names and residences of tht. pat
entees and with appropriate induces a
list of designs patented, of disclaimers
filed and trade marks registered, a list
of all pending applications for the ex-
tension of patents and Of all extensions
granted, decisions by the Commissioners
of Patents, current decisions of the
courts in trade mark and patent causes,
and such miscellaneous matter, includ-
ing changes in the rules of the office
practice, modification of the patent
law special legislation affecting par
ticular patents and kindred subjects, as
may seem to be of interest to inventors
and patert attorneys and properly find
place in an official journal.
Mr.. Knight was succeeded as editor
in 1875 by Mr. w. A Bartlett, of New
York. He remained in Office until 1877,
when Mr.. Frank Burr. a newspaper
man of West Vir inia, was\ placed in
charge. Mr.. Burr became a candidate
for Congress from his home district
and resigned his office in 1873, when
i Mr.. j. w. Babson, the present editor,
was placed in charge.
To obtain the advertisement the Ga
zette gives to its production patentee
must first have his patent allowed. He
sends in his application for a patent,

SPECIAL SERVICES FOR SUNDAY
WORKERS

There was a time when Saturday
night and Sunday morning workers on
the newspapers and the street cars in
New York had only one church to go
to- That time is past. There are three
distinct Sunday. morning services now
being held at o'clock in the lower
part of New York. and there is another
church close to Longacre square which
has an early morning service for the
night workers in the upper part of the
city. ST Stevens Catholic church in
Duane street was the pioneer in this
kind of work. Later a service was es-
tablished in st. Paups Episcopal
church, and then an earnest young
minister began to hold o'clock a. m.
service near the newspaper offices up
town. Lately the railroad men, police
men, barkeepers. watchmen, night
street cleaners and others have been
attracted, and now all the early religi-
Gus services are well attended.

companied by the first fee of SIS. The
papers are placed in a jacket, are
given a serial number and are then
sent to the examiner in charge of the
particular class of inventions to which
the device belongs, who examines the
specifications, drawings and claims
carefully going over all similar cases
to be sure that the ideas of the appli-
cant are new and are patentable. If
the patent is allowed by the examiner
the papers are forwarded to the Divis-
ion of Issue and Gazette, where they
are again examined to see that they
are all in proper form. and the inventor
is then notified that his claims have
been allowed and a patent will be is
sued to him covering them on receipt of
final fee of $50. The papers are then
put In file with other patents allowed
to, await word from the inventor. He is
given six months in which to pay the
final fee. If he does not pay in that
time the claims go back to the old files
and the drawings, specifications and
claims are sent to the contractor hav-
ing the contract for making copies and
are printed for file and issue. One copy
is embossed on bond paper, and after
being duly signed and sealed by the
Commissioner it is forwarded to the
patentee The claims for patent that
are allowed are then sent to the Gov
eminent Printing Office, where they are
printed in large type in columns five
inches wide. The printed claims are
then sent back to the Division of Issue

WHY He Dronned.

There was one amusing incident re-
ported by member of the Bluebeard
company, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser When the fire was
first discovered an Irishman, called
Pat, was up in the scene loft. He
yelled fire, then he opened a window
and went out over the alley, hand over
hand on an electric wire. He held
there but moment, swung his legs n
bit, looked down, swung his legs again
then closed his eyes and dropped. He
was picked up supposedly dead, bnl
recovered consciousness at the hos
pital and in few days was out on
crutches.
"Why did you drop, PatY' some one
asked him. you should have waited
for a fire net"

afraid the wolre 'ud break, sor."
