Food Protection
A decision far reaching in its effects
and of interest to lovers of pure food has
just been handed down by Judge Adams
in tho Circuit Court of the United
States
Tho suit in question was brought
against The Union Biscuit Company for
infringement on the package
controlled exclusively by Tho National
Biscuit Company for tho protection of
of biscuit and crackers against dust
moisture odor and germs
In deciding against The Union Biscuit
Company Judge Adams says
The proof abundantly shows that
prior to the invention of the patent the
old paper cartoons or boxes were inade
quate to the demands of the service re
quired of themthat their contents deteri
orated rapidly in substance and flavor
that they were subjected to the baneful
effects of the air moisture and dust
Since the introduction of the box of the
patent a radical change has taken place
This box has been found equal to the cli
matic and other local conditions in all
parts of the country from New Orleans
to New YorK from Florida to Minnesota
and from California to Massachusetts
The uniform testimony from all these
regions is to the effect that the contents
of the box are preserved in their original
freshness and flavor
The whole testimony in my opinion
clearly shows that the box of the patent
materially facilitates the distribution of
inexpensive food products to the con
sumer and at the same time lessons the
cost and enhances the intrinsic value of
such products
Judge Adams full decision against
the infringement not only shows the
great importance of the pack
age but is so broad and conclusive as to
prevent any futher infringement or use
in violation of the rights of the National
Biscuit Company

THEY GOT FREE SEATS
An OrUcir That Wu Iromptly Hon
ored at the Box Olllce
Once when Nat Goodwin was play
lug in Chicago two men approached
his manager who was standing in the
lobby of the theater and introduced
themselves as a couple of actors Their
names were entirely uiikiiowii to him
and they had nothing to show that
I they were what they claimed to be
Accordingly he refused to give them
seats but they were peCjistent One
of the men in particular was offensive
ly so He shook his fist under the
managers nose and demanded who it
i was that dared refuse him passes
Ill see Air Goodwin he declared
Ill see if a little whipper snapper
like you can refuse me seats You dont
know who we are eh Well who are
you Lets see your card Ill see Mr
Goodwin about it
The manager who feared a scene
handed over one of his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences of re
fusing to give them seats
A few minutes later the two men
came back to the theater One of them
had written Pass two on the man
agers card lie presented the card at
the box oflice and it was promptly
honored Then they went in
When half an hour later the man
agers attention was called to what
had been done he was at first inclined
to take some severe action but later
he saw the joke on himself
Let them alone he said If theyve
got nerve enough to do that they are
entitled to seats You had better send
an usher down and ask them if they
wouldnt like a box Chicago Trib
une
Sain Jones to Reporters
A prominent Baltimore physician
tells in the Baltimore Sun the follow
ing anecdote about Sam Jones the
Georgia evangelist
When several years ago Mr Jones
was at Emory Grove camp the news
paper reports of his sermons caused
him to complain
At the last service he looked down
at the reporters who sat at a table
just in front of the pulpit and said
And I want to tell you fellows that
I like you a lot in spite of your mani
fold faults You boys dont treat me
right though You take my sermons
and pick out a piece here a piece there
and a piece somewhere else Then
you string the pieces together and
naturally they read funny
Now suppose 1 reported the Bible
that way A man asks me what the
Bible tells him to do I read in one
place And Judas went out and hanged
himself I turn over and read Go
thou and do likewise And in another
place I And And do it quickly
Now you see boys that sort of
thing wont do It aint fair
How n Great Surgeon Bled
While Bichat the famous surgeon
was dying of typhoid fever he turned
to an old colleague who was sitting be
side his bed and said to him
My friend I am lost but it is some
consolation to know that my case is
very curious During the last few
days I have noticed some odd symp
toms and I am studying them care
fully
Oh you may recover yet said the
friend
That is impossible replied Bichat
and if it were not for one thing I
would be quite willing to die
What is that asked the friend
I am exceedingly sorry answered
Bichat that I shall not have an op
portunity to perforin an autopsy on
myself after my death for I know that
I would make some wonderful scien
tific discovery
An hour later he was dead
Hares That Swim
I have many times seen hares sever
al of them at a time cross a stream to
feed on summer evenings and coolly
return in the same way back to the
woods says a writer in London News
The act has been quite voluntary but
one thing I have noticed they invaria
bly sat up to see if they had time to
cross before any surprise came For
instance the movements of a person
walking along a footpath in the dis
tance would be watched with some
anxiety before the plunge was made
I have also seen snakes swim across
streams in the same way apparently
to bask on the sunny side

IT SHOULD FIND NO LODGMENT IN
ANY RATIONAL MIND
Yet This Dread of Meeting tho In
evitable la So Unlverxn1 That Our
Entire Social Fabric In Ijiirjrcly
Built Upon It
Do we dread death on the same
principle that half a Hock of sheep
leap through a certain hole in a fence
because the other half has done so
For unless the fear bp traditionary
and hereditary it is hard to account
for it
Deatli is a change occupying a mo
ment from one form of life to another
Whether it come in the course of na
ture or by accident or design it is sel
dom painful never probably so painful
as a bout of the toothache It brings
us from a condition of bondage and
uncertainty at best to one of freedom
and security But often it Is a change
from slavery both physical and moral
to emancipation comparatively perfect
or if we hold the materialist view to
everlasting unconsciousness The spir
itual state is emancipated from the
inertia of matter and the tyranny of
space therefore thought will be pres
ence and a mans surroundings as to
both thing and person will be inevi
tably such as are most desirable to
him The evil will be emancipated
from the opposition of the good and
the good will not be grieved and ham
pered by the machinations of the evil
The whole chapter of accidents which
here looms so large will there be elim
inated Time which now makes us
long for the arrival of an appointed
hour and now dread its too speedy
coming will be no more But we shall
measure life by its intensity and by its
opportunities In other words we shall
be the makers of our own times and
seasons
Death takes us from a world of ef
fects to one of causes The soul is
made of will and thought and as we
may daily perceive it is only the ob
struction of material conditions that
prevents lv from immediately accom
plishing out desires and beholding the
realization of our thoughts Again
death is inevitable to all and to any
one who chooses is at any moment at
tainable By what logic can our fear
of it be defended
Yet we fear it so much and so uni
versally that our entire social fabric is
built largely upon that fear Our law
makes deatli the supreme penalty Our
funerals are occasions of mourning
and the medical profession one of the
most numerous extant spends its ex
istence in combating death We seek
eagerly all nostrums or elixirs that
promise us continuance of life We
ascribe supreme merit to the soldier
who risks his life for his country or to
the individual who sacrifices it for oth
ers We laud the stoicism which af
fects to despise death but which bases
the virtue of that despising upon the
acknowledged terror of the event Our
humanitarians spend sympathy and
money in attempting to prolong the
miserable condition of the poor and
diseased We shudder to hear of a vast
natural calamity like that of Marti
nique or of avoidable accidents such as
are furnished daily by railways and
other instruments of civilization And
all the while it is the survivors who
suffer if any one does though they
too are soon comforted by time or the
insurance companies The dead man
the man who has entered upon the new
and spiritual life whom we absurdly
pity is free and his troubles are over
Suicides it is true are said to in
crease with civilization But few
philosophical suicides occur The ma
jority are induced by dread of life
overcoming dread of death It may be
doubted if suicide be ever the act of a
man at once perfectly brave and thor
oughly sane The value of this life
and it is a real value is in the disci
pline and experience it gives which it
is our honest and sensible duty to im
prove to the utmost and to the last
Life may be interesting and arduous
it may be disappointing and irksome
It is very seldom if ever uniformly and
positively agreeable Fear on the oth
er hand is one of the worst and basest
of evils and fear of death the most
irrational It must have originated in
sheer ignorance and thoughtlessness
It ought to vanish before our modern
enlightenment and sagacity and with
its disappearance will appear social
changes that cannct but be revolution

Why said a lady reproachfully to
her husband you know when I say
Denmark I always mean Holland
Perhaps the city girl in the following
story told by the Philadelphia Tele
graph allowed herself a similar lati
tude of expression
She was sitting on the porch lazily
rocking to and fro and watching the
fireflies flitting about through the
shrubbery Suddenly she turned to
her companions and said in a musing
tone
I wonder if it is true that fireflies
do get into the haymows sometimes
and set them afire
Everybody laughed at what was ap
parently a pleasantry but the young
lady looked surprised
Why said she it was only yester
day that I saw in the paper an article
headed Work of Firebugs It said
they had set a barn on fire Really
