To procure patent in Mexico the
party making application, unless pres
ent In person, must furnish his repre-
sentative with a letter of authority
carta de poder in Spanish-signed by
himself or herself in the presence of
two witnesses. Ordinarily Equalization
by Mexican consul Is not required.
1t must be borne In mind that one car
ia de poder will not answer for several
applications, as each application for
either patent or trademark must be &C
companied by a separate carta de
poder. This must be accompanied by
full and complete description and
claims Of and for the invention. If
they are sent In Spanish ready for fling
they must be in triplicate on clear
white paper $50 by 215 millimeters, ap-
proximately ID by 1874 English inches,
written with typewriter on one side
only Of the paper, leaving on each sheet
a left hand margin of fourth the
width Of the paper. OF course If they
are not sent in Spanish the local repre-
sentative attends to all the details,
which is by far the better way. He
should be furnished with full names,
profession, citizenship and resident Of
applicant.

Old Mirror superstition.,

The mistrust of the ghostly mirror is
SO old and so far spread that we meet
with it in the folklore of every land.
An old tradition warns us that the new
moon, which brings US such good for
tune when we look at it in the calm
evening sky, carries message Of evil
to those who see it first reflected In a
looking glass. For such unlucky NOR
tails it is said that the lunar virus dis
tills slow poison and corroding care.
And, again, it Is declared that the
friends who glance at their reflections
standing side by side are doomed to
quick dissension. In Scandinavia the
Swedish girl who looks into her glass
by candlelight is told that she risks
the loss Of her lover. One superstition
in this connection that seems to be al
most universal is that it is very I'M
lucky for bride to see herself In a
mirror after her toilet Is completed.
If she be discreet she will turn away
from that fair picture which pleases
her so well and then draw on her glove
or have some tiny ribbon, flower or
jewel fastened to her gown that the
sour fates may be appeased and evil
turned away from the threshold.

steeIyard. stin Popular.

ut beats me-" said a clerk in hard
ware store, how the old fashioned
steelyards hold their own. / can re-
member how popular they were with
certain farmers wives when / was a
boy in the country and what a delight
it was to me to be allowed to try my
hand at weighing a roll of butter or a
bag of wool. But even then the women
and children were the only persons who
seemed to take much stock In steel
yards. The tradesmen who bought our
produce very fatty said that the figures
represented by steelyards not only
could but did tell lies, and they pro-
ceeded to weigh all our stuff over again
on scales that were supposed to have
the quality Of truthfulness.
up to the present day steelyards
have had the reputation of being unre-
liable, but In spite of their Ill repute
people still buy them. Just why so
many householders and tradesmen re-
tain their fondness for an Anticipated
style Of weighing machine when there
are so many new and approved pat
terms on the market Is a puzzle, but
even though mystified we keep a sup
ply on hand for the benefit of those who
stick to the old way of doing things

HUNTING vlOLINS.


TarisiO Was Found Dead Surrounded
by Valuable Instruments.
Violin makers now and again come
upon pieces Of wood Of phenomenal
resonance and beauty, and when they
do we may be sure they give special
care to the making and finishing Of the
instrument formed of the wood. Strad-
ivarius, at any rate, did. In 1716 he
had a piece of luck in this particular,
and his luck went into an instrument
with which he fell SO much In love that
he absolutely refused to sell it or allow
1t to be played upon by any hands but
his own. He kept 1t locked up. and
when he died at the advanced age of
ninety-three he bequeathed it to his
sons. BY and by an enthusiastic col
lector named Salabue got on the scent
of this instrument, and about the year
1760 he acquired it-at what figure is
not known-from one Of the great
mans sons.
Salabue cherished 1t until his death,
about 1927, and then strange charac-
ter appears on the scene as purchaser.
This was an eccentric old fellow named
Luigi Tarisio, who, abandoning his
trade as carpenter, had started collect
ing old victims and was now searching
In every nook and corner Of Italy for
the treasures Of Cremona. He could
neither read nor write, this enthusfas-
tic collector, but he could tell valua-
BILE fiddle the moment he saw it. and
he estimated the worth Of the Salabue
"Strad" SO well that after he had ac-
quired it he kept 1t to himself with all
the loving care that Its maker had al
ready shown for it. Tarisio lived en-
tirely alone in a wretched garnet in
Milan, and one day in the year 1854 his
neighbors found him lying dead among
confused heap Of Cremonas. The old
man had amassed a collection of some
250 instruments. the result Of a thirty
years hunt" and, although he had
started life a penniiess carpenter. he
died worth about E12, OOo.-C ornhilI.

When John Hay was crossing the
Atlantic In 1865 on his way to Paris
to serve as secretary Of legation be
told the following anecdote to one OF
his fellow travellers: On applying fol
admission to the bar of Illinois he was
summoned to appear before a commit
tee of prominent Chicago lawyers to be
examined as to his qualifications.
He went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled, but
for long time they took no notice OF
the young candidate, but continued
talking vigorously together on various
subjects. At last one Of the lawyers,
turning to him, said
''Mr Hay, what would you do If a
client should come to you with such q
case as thisY and proceeded to de-
scribe very deliberately a complicated
legal case.
II should ask for a retaining fee OF
$50" promptly replied Mr.. Hay, land
tell him to call tomorrow"
''Mr Hay, you are admitted" said
the gentleman, and with a hearty
laugh from all present the proceedings

A Cur,ou, wooden w.toh.

The most curious tmekeeper perhaps
that has ever been made In this coun-
try was the work of one Victor Doriot,
who lived at Bristol, Tenn, in the last
century This theological oddity was
nothing more or less than wooden
watch The case was made Of brter
root, and the inside works-all except
three of the main wheels and the
springs, which were Of metal = were
made from a piece Of an old boxwood
rule. The face, which was polished
until 1t looked like slab Of finest
ivory, was made from the shoulder
blade OF an old cow that had been
killed by the cars. "Doriot's queer
watch" as It was called, was an open
faced affair, with a glass crystal, and
was pronounced an elegant piece Of
workmanship by all the watchmakers
in east Tennessee.

The donjon, or keep, Of the castle
was a tower within, much stronger
than the rest Of the structure and de-
signed as last resort for the garrison
when the walls and other portions Of
the fertilization had fallen into the
hands Of the enemy. The donjon was
generally provided with secret exit,
a tunnel being constructed, often many
hundreds of yards in length, leading to
some concealed outlet through which
the besieged could receive succor or, In
time Of necessity, escape.

tured Parisians Long Ago.
We had some notes a little while
ago on the methods which some au-
thors have adopted for the advertise
ment Of their books. A correspondent
sends us an example of this sort Of
thing, which is the better worth quot
ing because we have never seen 1t
quoted in this connection before It Is
taken from life of Nine. de Krudner,
whose novel valerie" appeared short
iy after Nine. de Stael's "Delphine."
"You know quite WELL" the author
wrote to a friend, "that neither talent
nor genius nor the excellence of ones
intentions is sufficient to insure q
success. Everything demands some
charlatanism." And the biographer
proceeds to tell us how she translated
her doctrine into action.
During several days, he writes, she
made the round of the fashionable
shops incognito, asking sometimes for
wreaths or ribbons, all "a Ia Valerie"
When they saw this beautiful and ele-
CANT stranger step out of her carriage
with an air Of assurance and ask for
fancy articles which she invented on
the spur of the moment the shopkeep-
ers were seized with polite desire
| to satisfy her by any means in their
power. Moreover, the lady would soon
pretend to recognize the article she had
asked for. And If the unfortunate
| shopglrls, taken aback by such I'M
usual demands, looked puzzled Nine.
de Krudner would smile graciously
and pity them for their ignorance Of
the new novel, thus turning them all
into eager readers Of valerie" Then,
laden with purchases, she would drive
off to another shop, pretending to
search for that which existed only in
her imagination. Thanks to these ma
neuvers, she succeeded in exciting
such ardent competition in honor of
her heroine that for a week at least
the shops sold everything "a la Va
lerie." Her own friends, the innocent
accompliceS in her stratagem, also visit
ed shops on her recommendation, thus
carrying the fame of her book through
the Faubourg Saint German and the
Chaussee d'Antin.-London Academy.
Hopping From World to World.
Few children reach the age of eight
years without having worked out q
cosmology of their own and their own
system of metaphysics. A group of
youngsters of that mature age were
going home from school the other day
when one began to instruct the others
what to do in case of certain crisis.

ed the manikin. "Well, you want to

practicing the sort of jump that was

Winter Fishing,

Winter fishing has one merit, which
all true sportsmen will recognize as
such-namely, considerable uncertain
ty. One day you may fish certain wa
ters-whether deep or shallow, whether
weedy or free-and well nigh draw a
blank, while the very next day the
same waters will give rich flnny re-
turns. What is more strange Is that
not seldom on the same day there will
be good luck in different depths and
varying waters of the same lake or
pond, and observation through the clear
black ice of early winter or late au-
tumn has convinced the writer that
these mystic f1shy moods of biting in
winter are almost or quite independent
of the movements of the schools Of
~bait' fish. About all that can be said
on such points in the way Of general
suggestion is that winter fish bite usu-
ally better on mild day than q cold
one, best Of all during gentle thaw;
that they take the bait more freely
under thin ice-that is, in early winter
than after the ice has thickened, and
that they appear to be quite unaffected
by noise, such as the rumble of skates
or the gentle thunder of the Setting
Ice. 1t is certain that some of the best
strings Of lifetime have been taken
when the fun Of skating could be join
ed with that of watching the lines
