and gave to our forefathers as the symbol
of their new country, won by long and
bitter struggle with destiny.
Action of Commissioner of Patents.
Let us give publicly our acknowledge
ment of Indebtedness to one, who, in quiet
discharge of official duty, has doubtless
done more than any one individual to drive
back the throng of irreverent money
changers who reach out even to our coun-
try's altar for the beloved emblem placed
there by unreasonable suffering, made
sacred and holy by blood sacrifice. The
United States commissioner Of patents, in
1903. made public ruling that forbade the
use of the flag and shield Of the United
States in any trade mark registered in the
United States patent office. By this deci-
sion, recently enacted as a ! w of the fed
eral government great step was gained,
one of the excuses most frequently made to
US being the alleged difficulty Of arranging
the patent rights of owners of trade
marks.
Unregistered trademarks and advertise
ments still have power to misuse our flag
unless the state comes forward to protect
it.
ut is but few days since our hearts
were reioiced by the statement that the Su-
preme Court of the United States had
made decision that the use of our coun-
try's emblem as an inducement to the pur-
use: that the protection by the states
against such an employment of the flag of
the nation was reasonable. constitutional
and proper. To Justice Harlan of the
United States Supreme Court and to the
other justices agreeing with him in this
decision the Daughters of the American
Revolution acknowledge profound debt
of gratitude"

pgRELIoTs oF THE ocEAN.
Abandoned Vessels Are Constant
Menace TO Shipping.

Even if our merchant marine is lam
gushing we still seem able to lead
the world in derelicts. The great pro-
portion Of them are American vessels
abandoned in American waters. Few
are reported west Of the sixtieth de-
gree Of longitude or south Of the
Bahamas, the Caribbean sea being
very free from them. The reports to
the photographic office last month
allowed no fewer than seven OF these
menaces afloat off the coast. There
was one off the New England coast,
two of the coast Of the Carolinas,
one each off the Virginia and Florida
coasts, and one still farther out at
sea.
Lumber laden derelicts are the most
troublesome. 1t takes them a long
time to sink. One such reported in
the early SOS drifted over 1000 miles
in $50 days. she was sighted 3S times
during that period, showing that she
was frequently putting herself in the
way Of charted ocean travel.

Horrors Of the Staircase.

A Dublin landlord said: 1T often
happens that when peasant girls come
into our service, directly from the
wretched novels in which they have
been reared, in wild part Of the
country, they are surprised and per-
picked by all they see. The common
est things to US are new and astonish-
ing to their simple gaze AS the dwell
ings Of the Irish poor are never more
than one story high, what excites
their perplexity, and often their fears
more than anything else is, Of course,
a staircase. l have actually seen
these girls creeping up and down
stairs on all fours in the utmost terror
one remained in the attic all day be-
fore she could summon courage to
encounter the apparent horrors Of
coming down, and she at last came
down backward, as If descending a
ladder. They get accustomed to an
elevator before they do to the stairs.

SAVINGS or THE SOLDIERS.
Paymasser's Department Has s2,9i1,-
7s7 Of the Regulars Money.

The American soldier is not highly
paid. vet he is thrifty chap. Last
year 54.2G0 enlisted men saved and
deposited with the paymaster's depart
ment s1.495,22S This is a respectable
sum and represents about - per cent
of the total pay Of all the enlisted
nlsn for that period. Had every en-
listed man made a deposit the average
saving for the year would have been
s27.5O, but that is the least interest
ing feature OF the system.
The figures show that the soldier
can deposit, under the lazy Of 1872,
only sums Of S. and over AS the pay
is small, the total deposits for the
year show that the saving habit is
continuous with many enlisted men.
These deposits bear interest at the
rate Of four per cent a year. but they
can not be withdrawn until the soldier
receives his discharge. Last year
there was repaid to soldiers the sum
OF S1,16S,236; interest was also paid
to the amount of s70,l12. The number
OF men discharged is not given, but
the amount repaid shows that their
average saving must have been con
