Byron and Ills Mother.

How different Byron's character
might have been if he had had a diff
ferent mother! A worse parent for
such a child can hardly be imagined.
Although at times indulgent to excess,
her temper bordered on insanity. She
rarely passed a week without an out
burst Of hysterica1 rage. One day
after loading her child with abusive
epithets she mocl1ingly called him sfa
lame brat" At this outrageous taunt
a fearful light came into the child's
eyes, but he surpassed his mother in
self control. For a moment his lips
quivered and his face whitened. Then
very slowly he spoke these five, short
words, F1 was born so, mother and
turned from the woman, who dared
not follow him. Yet Byron loved her,
and after she was found dead he was
found weeping in the dark beside her
lifeless form. John L. Stoddard.

Articles Marked "Patented.D

We are all accustomed to see pat
ented article marked Patented" with
the date of the patent. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether one in a hundred
who notices the mark realizes its i'm
portance to the patentee. The statute
on the subject makes it the duty of all
patentees or those holding under or
making the patented article for them to
apply the mark Patented together
with the day and year the patent was
granted, and the same statute pro-
vides as a penalty for not making that
ain any suit for infringement by the
party failing to so mark no damages
shall be recovered by the plaintiff, ex-
cept on proof that the defendant was
duly notified of the infringement and
continued after such notice, to make
