The United States circuit court for the southern district of New York, Judge Townsead presiding, handed down an opinion December 23, 1897, granting Injunction and accounting, in the suit of The Hostctter Company against Isaac Sommcrt and Louis Jo seph, for Infringement of Its trade mark. The jurist states, in bold and clear language', the rights accruing to the Hostetter Company, and the liabil ity incurred by all who would rob tfeem, by fraud or misrepresentation, of the well-earned reputation and profits of a business built up by the efforts of half a century. The julge says, In part: "The complainant Is entitled to pro tection against the appropriation of its trade mark, by any and all unfair and dishonorable means, and a court of equity has power to grant such protec tion whenever it is satisfied that an attempt has been made by ingenious subterfuges, to invade the rights of an owner of a trade mark. In the sharp contest between the individ ual manufacturer, who strives to ac quire and retain the fruits of indus try and honesty, and the field of keen rivals, seeking to wrest from him the prize of the public good-will, the in ventive ingenuity of the infringer has conceived a creat variety of devices for evading the established rules of fair dealing. Courts of equity finding that their ultimate object and effect were to enable and induce the retail seller of a fraudulent imitation to palm it off. on an unsuspecting pub lic for the genuine article, and thus to contribute to the infringement upon the rights of the original owner, have not hesitated to apply the remedy." Jonas Stadling, a Stockholm journal ist, sends to the January Century a facsimile of an undoubted message from Andree, sent by the aronaut by carrier pigeon. Mr. Stadling had charge of the pigeons at Danes' Isl and, where Andree was waiting for a favorable wind. He contributed to the November Century an account of "Andree's Flight Into the Unknown."

I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and cnxiocsly waited results. From the mo ment the Pectoral was given the child's breathing grew easier, and in a short time it was sleeping quietly and breathing nat urally. The child is alive and well to-day, tnd I do not hesitate to say that Aver's Cherry Pectoral saved its life." fc. J. Yooldridce, Worthaa. Tes. These statements make argument in favor of this remedy unnecessary. It is a family medicine that no home should be without.

OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATION OFFERED IN THE ISLANDS, Farm Craps That Cam Be Properly Gross Oescrlptlea of tbe Beautlfal Sceaerr The Masleal Kswawka First Caltlvatlaa of Sasjar. Much as has been written concern ing Hawaiian scenery, it is a subject about which literature can never be exhausted. People of all nations and of all climates are still continuous in their praise of the tropical verdure and scenery that can be found in the midst of the Pacific Ocean. There has been resident in the islands for some time a Scotchman Mr. Charles H. Ewart, of Dalbeattie, Scotland, whose soul was moved by the beautiful vision which he describes in the following poetic language: "We are in an amphitheater of mountains rising to an altitude of 3, C00 and 4,000 feet, with a glowing rai ment of leaf and blossom from base to summit, save in spots where the red earth peeps through the radiant cur tain, as a foil to the flames of irrides cent greens, and the fire of the blos soms that have enfolded the hills in their shining embrace. Here and there a pinnacle where no plant has found grace to grow, stands out a purple silhouette against the soft blue of a topaz-tinted sky. Caves and fis sures are cleft in the steeps of these mountain walls, and torn from the nearly perpendicular cliffs which sur round it, alone and apart, stands a pillar of stone twenty yards wide at the base, nearly a thousand feet high, and pointing 'Godward through the blue,' like the spire of some mighty cathedral. This monolith carved and fashioned by some bygone convulsion of nature when the hills 'glared at heaven through folds of fiery hair,' Is swathed in a glorious garment of green and gold chequered with the rose and the azure of the bells of the con volvuli that dangle from the cordon of vines that engird it" The valley in the early morning may be clear of mists, and a soft mountain breeze murmuring among the foliage, but at times it is filled with the noise less ebbing and flowing of white vapor borne in from the sea, and out of this shimmering sea of mist the towers and mlnaretes of the mountains arise clothed with mosses and ferns, and draped with garlands of eddying vines, that cover the faces of the cliffs, and droop over the edges of giddy preci pices in "cataracts of bloom," till they are swallowed up in the "white mists A GLIMPSE OF HAWAIIAN SCENERY. that choke the vale, and blot the sides of the bewildered hills." Although sugar cane is indigenous in Hawaii, little attempt was made to ward its cultivation until 1835, when a plantation was started at Kauai, ami several sugar mills were built. lnes? mills were worked by the aid of mules and oxen, and the process was slow and laborious. What a contrast to the mills of the present day, where the cane is taken and made into crystals of sugar. There is no royal road to wealth in Hawaii, and any one who an ticipates such a condition had better stay away. No man can go about blindfolded and pick up dollars in the streets, but no country offers a better opportunity and final reward for hon est, earnest and constant labor. Es pecially is this trae in the coffee in dustry. The pretty homes and coffee areas" of Olaa are an evidence of this. Butter is selling in Hilo at SI a roll. It is quoted in San Francisco at 16c. to 24c. a pound. There every field Is as dry as a bone. In Hawaii every field is perpetually green. The dairy business offers a much better opening than any line of merchandising. And as a by-product to the dairy, hogs will pay magnificently. Pork is retailing at 25 cents a pound. The advertising columns of the local papers tell a curi ous story of the strangely backward condition of some of the smaller in dustries. From Australia: peaches, plums, oranges, apples, grapes, nec tarines, lemons, celery, cauliflowers, potatoes, cheese, roll butter, crab ap ples, quinces, onions. These tre im ported from a country over two thous and miles distant The Hawaiian Inspector-General of Schools, Mr. Henry Schiller Townsend, speaking of the educational system of the islands, says thaf the population of the Hawaiian Islands is small and the school system is necessarily small. The total population exceeds one hun dred tnousand slightly, of which four teen thousand were attending school at the end of last year. Ten thousand were In the public schools. Fifty-six per cent of ail the children attending school at that time were of native Hawaiian descent, and twenty-five per cent were Portuguese. The reman ing nineteen per cent represents a larger number of nationalities. The English language is practically the only language as a msaas of com munication or instruction la the Ha waiian schools. And here lies the diffi culty of the work. Just imagine the teachers of California trying to teach the children of that state through tha Arabic language. Yet English is prob ably as difficult for the children of Hawaii as Arabic for those of Califor nia. History, literature, natural science and even arithmetic must be taught under great difficulties. Edu cative instruction under these condi tions is a well-nieh unsolved problem. Bat conditions are rapidly changing, j Tha English language Is coming Into uso as a means of communication among the graduates of the common schools, many of whom have no other language in common. Thus it Is creep ing into the homes of the people, even. When the children learn crude Eng lish from their mothers, the teacher's tasks will be much simplified. Por many years there have been schools In Honolulu and Hilo especially adapted to the needs of the children of English-speaking parents. Lately similar schools have been opened in a number of other locations, and still others .will be opened shortly. These are not es sentially different from schools of sim ilar grade in America. A regular pub-.. lie high school Is in process of organ ization in Honolulu, the greater num ber of the departments being already in working order. The endowed insti tution known as Oahu College has long offered full preparation for any college in America, and many of its graduates have entered leading colleges on ad vanced standing. But the English-speaking children do not enjoy a monopoly of the priv ileges of education beyond the com mon school course. The Kamebameha schools, with their magnificent equip ment and no less magnificent endow ment are open to those of native Ha waiian blood and to no others. Man ual training and industrial education are leading features of these schools, and few similar schools in America are so well equipped for work on these lines. The natives are very fond of music. The guitar on account of the softness of its tone, i3 their favorite instru ment. The royal Hawaiian band, which a few years ago made a tour through the United States, was com posed of native Hawaiians, all of whom were accomplished musicians. RED FANTON. 'POT BOILERS EMERGING." And Bed Wine Coming; In at tbe Doors of the Slndto. After weeks in the forest of Fon tainebleau it is difficult to realize its monotonous amplitude, its endless rep etition of similar prospects, says the Saturday Review. And yet as a for est It has no surpassing beauty. One may compare it with Dartmoor Dart moor pared of its highest tors and set thickly with young trees growing close as the moss on a boulder. It is a roll ing upland with a scanty mantle of soil, through the frequent gaps in which the broken gray bowlders of the naked earth sometimes rise in fantas tic heaps, sometimes line concavities a mile across, or fringe the gaping lips of long ravines. Like Dartmoor, the surface Is arid, and you may tramp miles and see never a pool; and yet, on every side, you may descend from the forest by green valleys into green plains and find brooks leading mirac ulously from the dusty rocks to dip under fringing willows. It is to these happy skirts of the forest that the painters' villages cling; Barbizon, ad vertised by Stevenson and now aban doned to the cultured tourist; Cernay, with its great village square; Marlotte, smothered under masses of lilacs like a child laughing in new-mown hay; Moret, on the Seine, with its tower flanked, steep-pitched bridge, its mills and ruined castles and spreading river; and a dozen others. The simplest of them turn austere faces to the solemn spaciousness of the forest, but thjir sweet gardens give acces? to the green comforts of the piain; an iraige, may be, of the artists themselves; high, un profitable aims in the salov; pot toilers emerging and red wine coming in by the studio doors. Ilotr Unlliea Fake the Ken. A curious instance of newspaper fak ing was discovered in Pittsburg last month. Three evening papers hie" in type a full account of the scenes at tending the execution of a murderer. Every detail was given, Inclining the conduct and last remarks of the con demned man on the scaffold. The bogus extras were put through the press and stacked up ready to hand out to the newsboys. One paper supplied the newsboys and kept them iu a room ready for the signal. But it never came. The hanging was post poned. The prisoner never left his cell. Some of the affecting full ac counts leaked out, and they are highly interesting specimens of the afternoon fake extras. Ex. Where He Drew tbe tint. One of our visitors from the coun try during Merchants' week became hungry and, going into a restaurant, ordered dinner, says a Boston paper. Being asked by one of the waiters what he would have, he replied: "Oh, bring me a good dinner." The head waiter was consulted, with the result that soup was first placed before the hun gry man, also celery. Ke drank" hi3 soup and although he eyed the celery suspiciously, he ate that. Then came a dish of spaghetti, and the conntry sian revolted: "I have drunk your dish water, eaten your bunch of weeds, but I'll be gol durned if I'm going to eat your worms." A Difference. "Hasn't he got through with what-he had to say?" inquired the man who had been asleep. "Yes," replied the friend next him, "but there's no tell ing when he will conclude." Wash ington Star. A NEW ANAESTHETIC. Orthofars Daas Woaders for Cleats. Caaeers aad Weaads. Two German investigators, MM. EIr horn and Heinz, have discovered a new anaesthetic agent to which they have given the name orthoform, says the Paris Temps. This substance be longs to the chemical group of aro matic amido-ethers. It consists ot a white crystalline powder, without taste or odor. It does not readily dissolve and its action Is slow. But this fact 13 compensated for by the duration of the influence of the substance. Ortho form Is produced with acids from sol uble salts which possess anaesthetic properties. Applied to the surface of a wound or an irritated mucous mem brane, orthoform, In a powder or oint ment, produces Insensibility. Many observations of sufferers bring this fact to light boldly. With bad burns in particular and every one knows how distressing these are orthoform subdues the liveliest pain in a few minutes, and its effect lasts for hours. Inasmuch as orthoform is not a poison (rabbits and dogs may take with impu nity from two to six grains a day), one may safely make a fresh application when the anaesthetic Influence has be gun to diminish. One discovers how great is the toleration of it by the or ganism, for instance, in a case of can cerous ulcer of the face, which Is the seat of such intense pain as to render sleep impossible. The ulcer is sprin kled with orthoform for a week and the quantity applied may amount to fifty grains. The patient ceases to suf fer and no inconvenience follows the experiment For the torture of cancer of the stomach Messrs. Einhorn and Heinz have administered many doses of a gram in the course of a single day. It affords great satisfaction in all cases of wounds or ulcers of the skin and mucous membrane, and, as it Is strong ly antiseptic, it hastens recovery from bacterial ravages. It has no action on unbroken skin, but its powerful in fluence permits one to regard it as suit able for a local anesthetic In cases where one is to operate on a mucous surface. Experiments of this kind have, indeed, been made in Munich. Compensation. Of course," said Mr. Erastus Plnk Iey, who had drifted Into a philo sophic vein, "you ain't gwinter be jes saterfy wif dis life, not onless yoh show sense in yoh way o lookin at it."

Silk may be restored by sponging, r,ud while quite damp it should be roll ed on a broomstick and left until quito dry. This may take twelve hours or , more. Silk should never be ironed. j Housekeepers owning big, handsome cut-glas3 punch bowls may convert them into superb flower holders by means of the wire racks sold for the jiurpose. These fit across the top ot . the bowls to hold the blossoms. j When the prudent woman removea her veil she rolls it between newspa- pei over a rod as long as the veil Is wide. A broomstick cut proper length makes a good roller. If the veil has lost its stiffness it may be made like new by dipping it in a very thin solution of gum Arabic, being pulled straight before it dries. Washing clothes is not wholly a matter of friction, but a great deal mare swashing and less friction would be more effectual and more agreeable to the worker. The boiler must be freed from Iron rust, and the water as clear as possible, and if necessary put into the boiler one tablespoonful of borax. The clothes should be put o:i in boiling water, and allowed to come to a boil. This disinfects the fabric and helps to rid it of the soap. Oatmeal should bo cooked slowly and not be stirred, if its best flavor is t obe preserved and it is not to be pasty. It is a good plan to put It on the range in a double boiler, while other things require a fire, and allow It to simmer for several hours. In the morning pour boiling water into the lower boiler and allow the already cooked meal to become hot. This In jures perfect oatmeal mush without re quiring a long morning wait for Us proper preparation. Don't stir it while reheating PARAGRAPHS WITH POINTS.

Dr. Swallow, the Pennsylvania pro hibitionist candidate, made the ex pected homeward fly. The reports that Mrs. Luetgert 13 still alive arc doubtless unfounded. No live woman could have remained silent so long. A Boston woman died, leaving her entire estate to ber parrot With a good income to spend that parrot will doubtless be a bird.

Before leaving a fellow coun tryman asked him to take in his pocket a notebook and to make a note of every visit he made with an obser vation sa to whether or not he was offered liquor. During1 a two months' absence he paid ninety-two visits in Scotland and was asked to take liquor at eighty-seven of the houses he vis ited.

Iowa Fatent Ofllce Iteport. DES MOINES. Jan. 5. W. T. M. asks: If a person shcu'd use a ratchet in an improved window shade roller, similar to Hartshorn's, would it te an infringement? Is not the principle o: such a ratchet too common to patent? Without searching the records to sea Hartshorn's claims, I will en deavor to answer your question and make the matter plain to you. Suppose Hartshorn's claim is for the combination of a ratchet, a pawl cr detent, a spring and a roller for oper ating a curtain, all the parts may te common but the combination thereot new and patentable. To improve any one part or element in that combina tion, or to add another part thereto, to gain anew or improved result thereby, would be patentable, but not clear of the prior broad combina ion claim, and an infringement, if use I without license. But if one of the four rarts of the original combination claim 13 left out, then the combination is broken, and it wold not be an in fringement of the claim that had four parts in it.

This irregatarity may be mistaken for real, organic hsarC disease. The symptoms are mack the ramev There is however a vast difference betweea the two: organic heart disease is often in curable ; apparent heart disease i curable if good digestion be restored. A case in point is qaoted from the New Era, of Greensbarg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Col som, Newpoint, lad., a woman forty -three years old, had suffered for f oar years with distressing stomach trouble. The gases generated by the indigestion pressed oa the eart, and caused an irregularity of its ac tion. She had much pain in her stomach) and heart, and was subject to frequent asd severo choking spells which were most severe at night. Doctors were tried ia vain; the patient became worse, despond" ont, ard feared impending death. tvV'i A Case of Heart Failure. Sho was much frightened but noticed that in intervals iu which her stomach did not annoy her, her heart's action bscame nor mal. Reasoning correctly that her diges tion was alono at fault she procured tha proper niedicino to treat that trouble and with immediate good results. Uerappetite camo back, the choking spalls became less frequent and finally ceased. Her weight, which had been greatlv reduced tw re stored and she now weighs more than for vears. Hor blood soon became pure and her cheeks rosy. The case is'of general interest because the disease is a very common one.
