hope that it will gradually improve and
that Gen. Huerta will succeed in cstab-

consular reports showed no important
change in the situation.

Buffalo. N. Y. Feb. 27.-A decision
handed down by Judge Hazel in Fedora
Court to-day gives the Wright brothers
a victory over Glenn Curtiss and his
associates in the litigation over patent
rights on flying machines.
The decree grants the petition Of
Wright brothers for a permanent I'm
junction restraining Curtiss from the
manufacture and sale of the alleged ip =
fringing machine. A stay is granted
pending further appeal. provided that
the appeal is conducted expeditiously.
Testimony OF experts was taken and
arguments heard last November. A
lengthy opinion accompanied his de-
cision. In It Judge Hazel reviews the
history of aviation and the principles as
applied by aviators and their patents
from 1872 down to the Wright patents
applied for in 1903 and granted in
May, 1906
There are eighteen claims IN the
Wright patent, four OF which are a.
legged to have been infringed by the
defendants, the Herring Curtiss com
pany and Glenn II. Curtiss. The chief
infringement. as alleged. was in tn.
attachments for maintaining the equ =
librium of the machines. The Jude.
says the testimony OF Curtiss himself
that the ailerons of his machine ar
intended TO preserve lateral balancr
without the use OF any other elemcn'
or part" supports the alleged infringe
ment Of claim No. 3.

IT was the double ender Pittsburg of

experience in fog navigation uneQualled
in ferryboat groupings.
The first news OF tho Pitusburg after
she had sailed from the foot Of Ex-
change place. Jersey City. with about
700 passengers, at S:16 A. NJ. on Thurs
day. February ~. 1913. was received by
Capt. Dodson Of the barge Happy It'd

He reported that a large double decker
was in the ofYing and that she WA pre-
pairing to make a landing. Her lights
were shining brightly and she an
nounced by wireless that she was the
Pittsburg. Now this could not be true,
as the Pittsburg has no wireless.
The rumor from the Happy Tidings
had It that the skipper Of the Pittsburg
hailed a man at the end OF ferry

The man stopped Jerking the clapper

skipper had been convinced by long
shoreman at the end of the pier tina,
the Pittsburg was really within sight Of
land and that the land skirted the East

continues large and confidence is fully
sustained. Conservatism remains gem
eral in most channels, but this is tenn
pered with a degree of optimism that
reflects favorable sentiment as to the
future. That the trend of business Is
still forward is evidenced by current
statistics of trade movements.
The transporting companies continue
to limit purchases of equipment to

provement are apparent. In iron and

porting slight enlargement in new

The aggregate of foreign commerce

On the other hand, trade with whole

regularity may be attributed to mid
summer conditions. to restrictions I'M
posed by high rates for money and to
tariff uncertainties. That there are but

of good business during the fall and

At a gathering In Milwaukee well
known minister was called on to tell q
story. and this Is what he told: =.
ibid you ever hear Of Coulter's hell;
OF the two men lost by the great
Lewis and Clark expedition of 1903 on
Its long journey through the northwest
one was man named Coulter. He
was captured by Indians. who stripped
him and set him to running the gantlet
"Outrunning their blows, he snatch
ed spear from the last Indian. killed
him with it and ran into the noun
tains naked and wounded. but at last
free and armed. Wandering toward
the southeast, he presently found him
self in land where the forces Of ma
ture appeared to have gone mad to-
gether. Rivers from which he sought
to drink ran hot water. boiling foun,
tains gushed hundreds Of feet in the
air, volcanoes Of black mud vomited at
him, bubbling fountains Of snow white
mud gushed around. with others of
crimson and blue and green. A noun.
tain Of pure sulphur crystals rose on
one hand, and from beside stream
rose another composed of black glass
almost as clear as window pane.
AT last, escaping from the place. he
was found by some trappers, who
clothed him and took him to st. Louis.
where they reported him as one whose
mind had been wrecked by his expert
ences. Wherever he told of the fright
full country which be swore he had
seen men roared with mirth at the
yarn and made him tell and retell It
till within a few years it went all over
the west as an example Of the effect
OF the horrors of being lost on the hu-
man mind. 1t was commonly known
as the story Of Coulter's HE'LL and un-
der that name it frequently appeared
in the eastern papers in the early thir-
ties and forties. Coulter himself final
" died regarded to the last. as hope.
less maniac.
And then in 1869 some Montana
trappers wandered into the region and
came back with the astounding tale
that Coulter had told the truth and had
never been insane at ALL TIE govern
ment Immediately rushed soldiers and
scientists into the country. and before
long it became the Yellowstone Ma
tional park. And that is the story of
Coulter's hell."-Milwaukee Journal.

Origin Of Present Use Of tho Classic
Plant.
The druids at Yuletide used to cut
the mistletoe to place upon their affairs
with elaborate ceremonies. Their name
for it was all heal or all healing
There was large procession, headed
by the druidical priests, with bards
singing canticles and hymns: then a
herald preceded three druids, fur
nished with implements for severing
the sacred plant, then the prince or
chief Of the druids accompanied by
all his followers.
The chief mounted the oak and with
a golden knife detached the mistletoe
and presented it to the priest, who re-
ceived and bore away the branches
with great reverence. Two white bulls
were sacrificed during the rite.
On the first day of the new year the
branches after resting on the affairs in
the interval were distributed among
the people as sacred and holy plant,
the druid priest crying, The mistle-
toe for the New Year" Just when the
mistletoe became known as the kiss

THE >HABlTUAL DRlNkER,

The New York Sun prints the fol-
lowing warning to the habitual drink.
er:
1T is the habitual Indulgence in al
cohol which is prone to lead to certain
well-known degenerations, especially
when it is imbibed before meals It
is important, therefore, not only to
differtiate between moderate and i'm
moderate, but chiefly between it's mo-
derate and habitual use.
THE human organism is capable of
resisting the effects of deleterious
agents occasionally introduced; but
it becomes incompetent to eliminate
them when the intake is habitual and
constant. The average man who takes
an eye-opener every morning is al
most certain to have a, nutmeg liver
that will eventually take him to the
grave with drOpsy. etc, the man who
does not enjoy his dinner without the
preceding cocktail is menacing equal
ly his future comfort and his wife. 1t
is only a question Of time with the
average individual and a question OF
idiosyncrasy with others. A recent
statement made by a physician of
half a century's experience confirms
this view, although he is himself a
very moderate drinker."
