Life Of the Sea.

Vegetation is everywhere present
in the sea in such abundance that,
although it consists of microscopic
plants, it may be thought of as eS-
ceeding in quantity the vegetation
of the land. The oceans are vast
meadows, and even those parts
farthest from land have an abun-
dance of animal life, whose exist
ence depends upon sea vegetation

Use of Gloves.

The use of gloves is so old that
relics Of them have been found in
the habitations of the cave jewellers.
The Romans used them as decora-
tive articles of dress and the Greeks
to protect the hands when doing
heavy work. When the social world
was restricted, SO to speak, in the
number of its members who could
afford some Of life's Injuries the
glove was confined largely in use to
royalty, nobility and the well to do.
And, the trade not being extensive,
prices were high, being added to
by decorative elaboration in needle
work in order to extract as much
money as possible from the ultimate
buyer for the manufacturer and his
employees. While ~glovemaking is
now one of the SATELLITES of modern
manufacture, it is nevertheless con-
stantly changing in styles, due to
eagerness for novelties and new
fashions.-Pittsbur Gazette Times.

OUR TRADEMARKS ABROAD.
Precautions Necessary to Protect Them
In Foreign Countries.


There is an ever present danger
to American shippers through lack
of knowledge respecting the pro-
lection of their trademarks in for
eign countries. In many countries
the individual or firm registering a
giyen mark is the owner thereof.
For instance, suppose a merchant
or manufacturer were shipping to
the Argentine Republic with sue
cess. and had not registered his
trademark prior to the first ship
ment; any native there who had
sufficient money to register same
could levy a toll on the American
shipper. If this was refused the
one who had registered the mark
could prevent business being done
under the mark in question unless
paid outright for his priority in
terests or a commission arrange
ment was made.
Some countries before issuing
trademark registration certificates
demand proof that the mark has
been registered in the country from
whence the goods came. Others do
not. The only safe way is to regis
ter trademarks covering goods suit
able for any given market before
introducing them.
When trading with the far and
near east great care must be taken
that no trademark shall be the pic
ture of a sacred animal, or with the
Chinese anything that means bad
Gloss"
The trademarks ordinarily used
by American manufacturers, such
as Indian names, variations on the
names of the manufacturer himself
or of the city in which the goods
are made, are Tnintelligible and
therefore not interesting to or cas-
lily remembered by the eventual
BUYERS in foreign countries, and as
a large part Of the regular export
staples are imported for sale to the
untutored masses, who buy largely
by trademark, it is advisable to have
a mark that will be easily remem-
bered and one that appeals to the
ideas Of the ultimate consumer.
Once a mark becomes popular it is
almost impossible for any other
mark to Dust it. Many well known
trademarks in the far east T to-
day worth f6rtunes.-Harry Love
in Exporters Review.

Railroad Across South Hand

Efforts are being made by resi-

cure a bonus for q railroad from
Mitchell to Pierre. The idea now
being worked out is to secure q
pledge of so much money from each
land owner along the route. 1t IS
claimed that about $75,0 600 has been
pledged. and it is expected that this
will be doubled. 1t is understood
the canvassing work here has been

Three stirs and . Waller.

Eighty years ago in Edinburgh,
Scotland, it was the custom for a
man to walk through the poorer
portion of the town every day at
noon, bearing a large shin bone of
beef. His cry was, "Three stirs and
a wallop for a bawbes!" CA bawbee
is a halfpenny.) All the house
wives had their vegetables stewing
for the family soup and gladly paid
their bawbees for the privilege of
three stirs and a wallop (the final
Aourish) with the bone, which was
supposed to impart q fine meat
flavor to the stew.
