TRADE-MARK—EXPIRED PATENT.
Sewing machines were manufactured
in Germany and sent to London for
sale. They were made under the
Singer patent after ite expiration, and
were sold as Singer machines. The
Singer Manufacturing Company sued
for an infringement of its trade-markon
the ground that it had always designat-
od ite machines by a brass plate on the
machine having the word ‘‘Singer’’ on
it. In this case—Singer Manufactur
ing Company vs. Loog—it appeared
that the machines were made under the
Singer patent, and thal they had the
brass plate with ‘‘Singer’ on it placed
on them. The case was carried to the
House of Lords, where the Lord Chan-
cellor gave the following as his judg-
ment: ‘1. After the expiration of a
patent the right to manufacture under
it is common to all, and the production
may be designated so as show the
former invention, and the owner of the
patent cannot complain that his trade-
mark is appropriated. 2. But the busi-
ness name and reputation of a manu-
facturer in producing work under
patent is his own, and no one can use
his name fraudulently to mislead and de-
ceive purchasers.”

A Lovely Legend.
A century since in the North of Eu- |
rope stood an old cathedral, upon one
of the arches of which was a sculptured
face of wondrous beauty. It was long
striking through a slanting window

ever after, year by year, upon the days
when for a brief hour it was thus illu.
minated, crowds came and waited eag-
erly to catch but a glimpse of that face.
It had a strange history. When the
sathedra Iwas being built an old man,
broken with the weight of years and
care, came and besought the architect
to let him work upon it. Out of pity
for his age, but fearful lest his failing
sight and trembling touch might mar
some fair design, the master set him to
work in the shadows of the vaulted
roof. One day they {ound the old man
asleep in death, the tools of his craft
laid in order beside him, the cunning
of his right hand gone, his face upturned
to this other marvellous face, which he
bad wrought there—the face of one
whom he had loved and lost in early
manhood, And when the artists and
sculptors and workmen from all parts
of the cathedral came and looked upon
this fuce they said, “This is the grand-
est work of all ; love wrought this,’
In the great cathedral of the ages

tion of God—we shall all learn sometime
that love's work is the grandest of all.

It is marvelous how sheep and wool
growing have increased in this country
within the last fifteen or twenty years,
In 1860 there were only about 23,000,
000 sheep in the United States. We
now have nearly 50,000,000, In 1860
the wool clip amounted to only 60,000,

of over two-fold of sheep and
five-fold in the production of wool,
giving unmistakable evidence of our
advance in this industry.

effected naturally by the wind or by

We have visited the establishment of

manufacture of ice was certainly as in-
teresting as anything we have seen, On
the ground floor is a boiler fifty feet
ong and four and a half feet in diame-

feet of three and a half-inch pipe. The
boiler is kept filled with aqua ammonia,
which is separated by the steam into ain-
monia gas and water, The gas leaving
the water in the boiler forces its way
through a six-inch pipe outside the
building to the roof, four stories up,
where it passes into 15,000 feet of
coiled pipes, in which it is converted into
fountain jets. ‘The liguid passes into
fifteen thousand feet of two-inch pipe
arranged in vertical sections thirty feet
high and and three feet apart, and its
sudden liberation into these pipes tarns
