Let us assume that tomorrow you decide to embark in the business of manufacturing a toilet soap to com- pete with some of the well known mak- ers. It is important that it should have a significant or attractive name. But, right at the outset, you discover that it is almost impossible to secure any satisfactory name for a new soap. Its color, transparency and clearness suggest the title of “amber soap.” Yes, surely, “amber soap” does have an attractive sound. But you cannot use the word “amber,” for you find that this is one of a list of twenty-four pos- sible names for a toilet soap pre- empted by registration as a protec- tionary measure years ago by one of the leading American soap :aaiers. They have covered over a hundred names in the past quarter of a century, willingly paying the registration charges of $25 for every title. Of course they do not intend to use them. They register them to fight off compe- tition, believing (and here is the im- portant point) that no clever business man would embark in the enterprise of manufacturing a new soap when from the start he was prevented from employing the powerful weapon of imagination in giving it a suitable name. If an establishment like this, directed by some of the ablest heads in the business world, believes that it can discourage competition by simply depriving the would be competitor of the appeal to the imagination in the naming of his soap, how great a value must we attach to imagination in busi. ness?—Lorin KF.

If these rodents are at all numerous on a station property, they do enormous damage to the grass, but | the pest is kept down to the lowest | possible limit in every district of the | commonwealth at great cost. The most effective method of deal- | ing with them is hereunder explained. | In summer when any water that ! might have been lying about has been ! “WALL STREET WAYS. Methods of a Brilliant Operator of Many Years Ago. One of the most brilliant operators of Wall street in the early sixties of the last century was Walter Wellman Morse, though he was by comparison with some of the gray haired market veterans ouly a mere boy, being just thirty years of age. The public con- fidence he enjoyed made it possible for him to reslize profits in any stock. Such was the influence his indorse- ment would carry that after he had accumulated stock at his prices he could tell his daily callers that the stock was due to go up, and immedi- ately there would be enough profes- sional and public buying of the stock to rend it up, thus enabling Morse to unload at a profit. An example of Morse's popularity was illustrated in a scene accompany- ing the opening of subscriptions for stock in a coal mining company or- ganized by him. The day the subscrip- tion book was opened people flocked to the office and fought with each other in their efforts to enter and get thelr names recorded. One man who had subscribed for a large amount of this stock, after getting away from the crowd, came back and, walking up to Mr. Morse, said, “I say, Mr. Morse. was that gold or coal stock I sub- scribed for?'—Moody’s Magazine. BIRDS AS SCOUTS. A Gypsy's Warning Before the Battie of Sadowa. During the night, July 2-3, before the battle of Sadowa, a division command. ed by the archduke, retreating before the Prussian army, had bivonacked near a town in Bohemia facing north. At midnight the archduke, when resting In a peasant's cottage, . was awakened by the arrival of a gyper. who insisted on seeing him personally. having come to report the advance of the enemy. The archduke. who spoke Romany fluently, asked: “How do you know? Our outposts have not reported any movement.” “That, your highness, is because the enemy is still some way off.” “Then how do you know?" The gypsy, pointing to the dark sky lighted by the moon, observed, “You gee those birds flying over the wooda from north to south?” “Yes. What of them?” “Those birds do not fly by night un. less disturbed, and the direction of their flight indicates that the enem is coming this way.” The archduke put his division under dried up by evaporation and the grass | arms and re-enforced the outposts, has become dry rabbits swarm toward | which in two hours’ time were heav- the tanks, dams or other water holes! ily attacked.—Field Marshal Sir Eve- that have been sunk for stock drink-! lyn Woed in London Saturday Gazette ing purposes. | Pastoralists take advantage of this, | and every cvening after the cattle! have partaken of their last drink a | strip of wire netting is run around the tank or dam. : Outside this netting fence holes are | dug in the ground and filled with poi- | soned water, and these in turn are in- | closed by another strand of netting, | pegged down ig within a few inches | of the ground, being sheep proof, but | allowing plenty of room for rabbits to get under, !

He confided the discovery to one or two others and ar-| ranged with them to kill it during the hours of darkness, so that they might | enjoy the delicacy together. Toward | nightfall the man, armed with a stick, | attacked the huge serpent. The boa | constrictor, aroused from its apparent | torpor, suddenly selzed the unhappy | negro and slowly crushed him to pulp and then gradually swallowed him. i Tactless. “When Clubber gets arguing he loses all tact.” “As for instance?” “Why, last night he told an oppo- nent who is lame that he hadn't a leg to stand on, another who squints that he was sorry he couldn't see things as he did, and a man who stammered he urged not to hesitate in expressing an opinion.”—Stray Stories. Color Blindness. Forty men and four women in a thou- gand are either wholly unable to per- ceive certain colors or can recognize them only with difficulty. All attempts to overcome color blindness by edu- cating the color sense have failed.

It 4s so pleasant to read them over when the ink is brown, the paper yellow swith age and the hands that traced the friendly words are folded over the thearts that prompted them.

She wanted to keep the tickets for fear something might hap- pen to me.”—Chicago Record-Herald. ————— -—— — Some Prophecies Fulfilled. Long before his name was known outside his native country Oliver Crom- i well was making one of his rambling speeches in the house of commons. Lord Digby asked Hampton who he was, and Hampton replied, “If ever we should come to a breach with the king, that sloven will be the greatest man in England.” Never was any hecy more completely fulfilled than this. Almost equally remarkable in its way was Disraeli’s prophecy, “But a time will come when you will hear | me.” made when nothing appeared more unlikely than the brilliant serie= of triumphs which fulfilled it. Another instance of a quickly fulfilled prophecy was furnished by Pope Pius VII. when he was told of Napoleon's escape from Elba. “Don’t worry about it,” he said; “it is a storm that will be over in three months.” The story of the hundred days proved his holiness to be right to a few hours. He Got None. “What's a pun, father?” “A pun, my son, is a play upon words. There are three kinds of puns —good ones, which you laugh at; in- different ones, which you take no no- tice of, and bad ones, which make you throw something at the punster.” “Can you make a pun, father?” “Of course, my son! Now, you're thinking about your supper, aren't you?’ “Yes, father.” “Well, that’ s-upper-most in your wind at the present time.

Hunted the Hunter. “Is it really true,” asked Miss Chel- lus, “that you're engaged to Mr. Rich- ley?” “It is,” calmly replied Miss Bute. “My,” exclaimed Miss Chellus, “he was a great catch!” “I beg your pardon,” retorted the other haughtily; “catcher.”—Catholic Standard and Times.

An American trav- eler, his finger keeping the place in his Baedeker, addressed the carriage: “Can you tell me whether this place is ‘Derby’ or ‘Darby? 1 have heard both.” “The original and therefore the cor- rect pronunciation,” replied a preci looking passenger, “is ‘Darby.” I have seen it spelled ‘Darbie’ on old maj It is also the form used in commu: speech.” ! “You'll find ‘Derby’ is right,” re- joined a passenger, less precise, “It's spelled like that, and the people up in. the north of the county say ‘Derby.’ ” At this point the train stopped. and a porter bawled loudly into the c¢-- riage, “Dawhy!"—Manchester Guar!’ ! fan. Sven Hedin's Experience. i Dr. Sven Hedin. the famous traveler | and explor-r. had some terrible expe- riences during a journey through Ti ' the poetic descriptions of Cleopatra! ' given by Roman historians and ave Deore to bette DHE IC, Lhe LE | found that in these descriptions there was at least much fancy. In the por- traits we do not see the countenance of a Venus, delicate, gracious, smiling, nor even the fine and sensuous beauty of a Marquise de Pompadour, but a face fleshy and, as the French would say, “bouffie.” with a powerful aquiline nose—the face of a woman on in years, ambitious, imperious. which recalls the face of Maria Theresa. It will be said that judgments on beauty are person- al; that Antony, who saw her alive, could judge better than we who see her portraits half faded out by the centuries; that the attractive power of a woman emanates not only from cor poreal beauty, but also, and yet more, from her spirit. The taste of Cleopn- tra, her vivacity, her cleverness, her exquisite art In conversation, are ac- claimed by all.—Guglielmo Ferrero in! Putnam's. A Modest Fee Appreciated. Shortly before Dr. W. T. Bull, New York's famous surgeon, was stricken with his fatal illness a young east side physician called at his office and said that he was attending a poor girl over in his neighborhood who would surelr die unless operated on. The family was too poor to pay and the doctor did not feel that he was equal to the operation. Would Dr. Bull give him a little advice as to how to proceed? “Well, I guess we had better go and take a look at the patient,” said Dr. Bull, putting on his coat. They found the patient in an east side tenement, and in less time than it takes to tell it Dr. Bull had the room cleared and began the operation. When traveled, that to unbutton one's cont | meant acute pain and tension to an! overwrought heart, which literally wa: | at the point of breaking. His only | safety lay in the fact that he never left the saddle for a single moment from morning till evening. Had he done so his heart would have given | way. At one time they were nine days | without water, and when at last he saw a small pool Dr. Hedin drank five pints without stopping.

Do not poultice an eye in any cir cumstances whatever. Binding a wet application over an eye for several hours must damage that eye, the as- sertions of those professing to have personal experience in this to the con- trary notwithstanding. The failure to aggravate an existing trouble by bind- ing a moist application over an inflam. ed eye, which application is supposed to remain for an entire night, can only be explained by the supposition that a guardian angel has watched over that misguided case and has displaced the poultice before it had got in its fine work. All oculists condemn the poul- tice absolutely, in every shape and in every form. Tea leaves, bread and milk, raw oysters, scraped beef, scrap- ed raw turnip or raw potato and the medley of other similar remedies popu- larly recommended are one and all ca- pable of producing irremediable dam- age to the imtegrity of the tissues of the visual organ.—Family Doctor.
