An Important Legal Victory.

Allen S. Olmsted, of LIE Roy, N. Y, is
the inventor, and proprietor OF Foot.
Ease" well-known proprietary article of
merit and enjoying a large sale all over
the world. Mr.. Olmsted has been a
heavy advertiser, and has been able to
make a trademark of great value. Othegs
have noted this with jealous eye and have
sought, by underhand methods and by
copying, to steal the benefits to be had
from confusing the mind of the public.
Mr.. Olmsted brought his dishonest com
petitors into the Supreme Court of New
York State, which recently granted an
injunction with costs, restraining the of
tenders from making or selling foot pow,
Ter resembling Aliens Foot-Ease in outward
form or design or otherwise. The entire
advertising fraternity of the United States
owes debt of gratitude to Mr.. Olmsted
for taking this firm stand against the buc-
cancers of trade, who, having no inventive
power themselves, are always willing to
profit by another's brains, and, by meth
DDS akin to those of the bushranger, be-
come social highwaymen in stealing the
benefits of long, extensive and clever adj

WHAT HE WOULD DO.
Col. Hayes Knew How to Take Care
of Surprises If They Should
Come.

OF Col John c. Hayes, who served
with distinction under Gen. Winfield
Scott in the Mexican war, an amusing
story is told by T. e. Parish in his Gold
Hunters of California" Hayes, with
his command, had been out scouting. On
his return he made no report to Gen.
Scott, who sent for him. Gen. Scott was
a veritable martinez in enforcing mill
tary discipline. After Hayes was seated
in the commanders headquarters, Scott
said: "Col. Hayes, 1 have received no
report Of your expedition against the
PADRE" II did not think it worth
WHILE" said Hayes. Every officer of
the army is required to make full re-
port of everything to his superior officer.
Please make your report verbally
Hayes began by saying that he struck
the PADRES trail on a certain day, fol-
lowed it for two days and on the third
day, while his command was resting at
noon and taking their siesta, the old
padre came down on them. The boys"
gathered themselves together and
whipped the Mexicans off, killing quite
a number of the PADRES command. His
own loss was insignifcant-one killed
and three wounded. Surprised you,
eh?" quired Scott. Eyes; we were not
expecting him. where were your
pickets?" did not have any
What" shouted Gen. Scott. A col
onel in the regular army Of the United
States go into camp in the heart of the
enemys ountry and never place a
picket on guard? What would you do
if surprised when asleep?" .Shoot the
first man that woke me up" was the cool
reply,

eyes this summer. It surely is what "a
called white season,
The other evening , stately vision
came our way, tall young woman ala
in pure white. The gown on gear view
proved a soft null, trimmed with fine
insertion and lace, the redingOte of
white silk One might think soft white
silk not the proper coat material, that
it not only would soil too easily but
would draw and pull out of shape. This
particular one fitted very we'll, the
seams as true as though of firm stuff.
1t was effective, and not impracticable,
gown and wrap both would undergo
washing. The hat was lace lingerie,
not too disjointed; picturesque with
out leaning to the grotesque.
AS a rule a woman feels more at
ease if she have some little throw to
wear on the street, and as a rule she
looks better. In the past the ostrich
boa fulfilled this purpose, but it cost
SO much it was not in reach Of many.
Now we have boas made of tulle and
net, which are very frilly and pretty.
and reasonable in price. The shops
offer an infinite variety; fiat ones OF
no great depth or length; deeper ones
with long ends, and mere scarfs. One
attractive model is short, an end tucks
in close at the neck, while the other
extends a little distance to one side,
and at the fastening is worn a bunch
of flowers matching the trimming on
the hat.
These boas, made of closest frill
of valenciennes lace, are extremely
pretty, and generally becoming. The
rich scarf is to be had in lovely shades,
and shows up well on a light gown. If
one has a lace scarf heirloom it would
be well to resurrect it this summer, for
there is as much latitude in wraps as
there is in the styles of skirts.
Shawl-shaped fichus are very grace
full and are edged with fringe. These
on the lingerie order, of soft null del
icately embroidered, are especially
charming. A scarf of double width
tulle, two or three yards long, makes
a pretty accessory to the afternoon or
evening dress, and does not cost very
much.
Two waists are in high esteem, the
white pongee dotted here and there
with silk figures, and the fine dotted
swiss. There is no material that
makes up prettier than the latter, none
that launders better.

DENTISTS ENTERPRISE.
Eook Unique Method of Making Peo-
pie Acquainted with His Busi-
ness.

A young man with ingenuity enough to
warrant success recently identified him
self with Milwaukee church that boasts
Of having nav one Of the la largest congregatons
sin.
He made himself generally useful, of
fering to sing in the choir, teach Sunday
school, act as usher, or do anything that
would help the good cause along. He was
finally asked to serve in the capacity of
usher, which he did with great alacrity.
AS he passed the collection box the
minister noticed that he handed each per-
son a slip of white paper. At first the
minister supposed they were the en-
velopes in which the money for specified
purposes is usually inclosed, but after a
few Sundays of assiduous work on the
part of the usher, the minister decided to
investigate.
He discovered that the young man was
q struggling young dentist, and was hand
ing out his business cards.

it is a shoe which always looks dressy.
If one can afford but a single pair for
best. we advise patent leather by all
means. Hose matching the costume
may be worn with these, and if the
latter are made with the straps now
fashionable the light stockings will
give probably as good effect as though
light shoes had been INDUCED in.
The colored shoes come in canvas as
well as kid, and we heartily approve
of them They loc6 so cool, give the
right touch to summer toilet. They
come in various shades, and with q
dresa of Alice blue linen one may have
Alice blue canvas oxfords. A fashion
not so pretty, more forced, is that of
black patent feathers with uppers of
colored kid. White canvas shoes with
patent leather tips are a better nov
city.
White canvas shoes are easily
cleaned, do not cost great deal, and
are recommended both for utility and
appearance. Colored shoes all are
cooler than black ones. as anyone de-
voted to the russell low shoe knows.

imaginable.
I wish that l could say that women
were unseInsh. know it is the fashion
TO declare that they are more self-deny-

Something New in Fads.

Cons of wealthy men working as
IorSshoremen and deck hands, is said
by Paul B. Lansing, of San Francisco,
to be the latest fad among the moder-
ately rich residing on the Pacific coast.
DO you know" said Mr.. Lansing, &C
cording to the Denver Republican,
"that many of the wealthy shippers
and ship owners on the Pacific coast
now have a fad which is spreading
rapidly and which is unusual-most
unusuar. They are giving their soEs
Jobs as deck hands on their vessels and
as freight handlers on their wharves,
and are making their sons like It The
boys. many of whom have just been
released from college, get no more
money and just as much work as any
of their fathers employees. The old
men seem to think that 1t will prepare
the young men for their entrance into
the business world and will make them
appreciate wealth when they get it,

The fashion writer's tell
us more or less about capes, but we
confess we personally have not come
across very many. We see plenty of
thin redingotes, numbers of bOleros
and short coats, but so far the capes
have been few and far between, even
among elderly ladies. They seem to
have vanished with the bonnet-per-
haps both will come to life again.
There are pretty cape-like wraps
worn, and maybe these are what are
meant by the arbiters, but surely they
differ much from the old ones we re-
member as coming under this name.
But, come to think of it, they are
somewhat after the fashions pictured
in the old journals, sort of bertha-man-
tie affairs; and we notice with the sus-
pender dresses, instead Of mannish
straps, soft folds edged with a rufle,
forming not only suppOsitious sup
port for the skirt, but also a graceful,
quaint wrap.
There are exquisite little lace and
linen coats, the former suitable for
various costumes, and therefore not an
extravaganza investment. Our illustra-
tons give two models, one a bolero
and the other a pretty surplice effect.
Such a wrap as either of these trans
forms plain gown into dressy, sum-
merry costume, and adds the last touch
to light, sheer frock. The hat worn
with these should be on the lingerie
order, or may be an all-black hat of
lace of gauzy material. And, by the
way, the all-black hat, after a period of
retirement, is returning to public ia
vor. We noticed very pretty cos
tune recently, worn by brunette of
the clear-pallor type; a short white
linen suit, black patent leather shoes,
a smallish black ship hat with no color
about it. 1t looks cool and simple.
Which reminds us to make declara-
ton that the best dressed person of a
hot day is the one that looks cool and
comfortable, who is minus fuss and
feathers. Bear this in mind when MAX
ing ready the midsummer 1nery. The
girl in all-white, provided it be speclk-
less, is 2 refreshing object on torrid
day, and MAJ one will gladden. our

She ought to have been abash ed, but
instead, she went out of the room, re-
marking something about having to
slave with sewing and cooking and
house-cleaning herself and never hav-
ing any recreation. AS if a true wom-
ans greatest happiness was not in her
home and with her husband and chill
dren! Well, might have gone, after
all, sacrificing my own wishes, if she
had not displayed that selfish spirit,
but as it was, considered that she
should not be encouraged in it.
And, while think Of it, l was grieved
to note the same ugly manifestation Of
self that same evening. 1t happened
some time after dinner that Wilkins tel

for little relaxation doesn't present
itself so often. So said l would come.
But, would you believe it? My wife
actually objected to my going-or acted
as if she did. 1t was not woman's
party, mind you. 1t was out of the ques-
ton for her to participate, but could
