HOSTETTER CO. WINS A CASE.
larriaffMtU sa Their Bitten Net Taler-
ate by Dalle. States Cowrt.
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."

"One of my children had croup. One
night I was startled by the child's hard
breathing, and on going to it found it
strangling. It hadnearly ceased to breathe.
Having a part of a bottle of Dr. Aver's
Cherry Pectoral in the house. 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.

These statements make argument in
favor of this remedy unnecessary. It is
a family medicine that no home should be
without. It is just as efficacious in bron
chitis, asthma, whooping cough, and all
other varieties of coughs, as it'is in croup.

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

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.

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 been asleep. "Yes," replied the
friend next him, "but there's no tell

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.

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

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

hospitality, as explaining Scotland s
reputation as a drinking nation.- Some
years ago a Scotchman iesiding in the
Interior, who bad accumulated a for
tune in America, paid a visit to his old
home. 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. At the jubileo festivities of King
Oscar of Sweden and Norway cno of
the features that appeared most te in
t.nest him was the exhibition i;f tha
female fire brigade of iv:oat.s5er.
There are 150 of these yoinj women,

They came in full uniform to go
through the evolutions beneath K'ni
Oscar's windows, where Ca-j aroused
great enthusiasm.
A Philadelphia policeman the other
day arrested a little boy In kces

some bystanders, who went to the s'a

against the policeman. At th? sta

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.

BAD DIGESTION. BAD HEART.
Poor digestioa of tea caases irregalarity
of the heart's actios. 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. That
others may know the means of care we
give tho name of the medicine used Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Tale People. Theso
pills contain nil tho elements necessary to
give now life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves.
