RIGHTS UNDER A PATENT.
Each of the Three Constitutes a Separate
Monopoly.
To make, to use and to sell are the
rnly ways In which an invention is
eapable of commercial enjoyment.
The patentee can, if he wishes, sit
lown and not only not use the indention
himself, but prevent others
'rom making or using or selling the
patented thing. If any one else
nakes, uses or sells the subject of the
patent the courts will grant the pat?ntee
an injunction against further
nfrlngement and a recovery of the
profits made.

make, to use and to sell?Is a separate
monopoly and may. by proper initrun
snts, be granted or sold sepaately.
For Instance, a patentee of a
nachlne could grant to a manufacurer
the exclusive right to make the
nachlnes for him (of course under
proper restrictions as to price, etc.),
md the manufacturer would be an
nfringer if he used the machines or
told them to others. The patentee
:ould then grant to a jobber the exUusive
right to sell-the machines (referring
proper compensation to himself.
such as a percentage of the profts).
and the jobber would be an in'ringer
if he either made or used the
machine. The exclusive right to use
he machines could then be granted
:o a given consumer, who In turn
ivould have no right to make or sell
!he machines.
The exclusive right to use an invention
for each of several given purposes
can be separately sold. For instance.
a patentee of a process for
making watch dials not only sold the
ixclusive right to make watch dials by
that process, but he also sold to a
separate company the exclusive right
to use the process in making enameled
signs under the same patent. The
ivatch manufacturer would have
been an infringer if he had made
3igns and vice versa, the sign manufacturer
would have been restrained
from making watch dials.
A process of drying gunpowder was
found to be applicable to drying
breakfast foods, and' the owners after
getting all they had ever looked for
from the patent from the gunpowder
rights reaped a second and unexpected
harvest from the sale of the rights for
breakfast foods. The rights under a
patent for a machine can be divided

LAWS IN CHINA.

of the Accused.

more marked than In China, says Hosea
B. Morse in the Atlantic. There
no bankruptcy law is possible. If a
debtor's own estate will not suffice to
pay his debts the deficiency must be
made good by his father, brothers or
uncles; if a debtor absconds his immediate
family are promptly imprisoned:
if the debtor returns he is put in
prison and kept there indefinitely, so
lung as he can find money for his daily
food until releused by payment in full
or by death. This is the law.
When in 1895 Admiral Ting found
himself forced to surrender Welhalwel

By this courageous step, technically
dying before surrender, he saved his
immediate family?father, mother, sons
and daughters?from decapitation and
their property from confiscation, the
penalty when a commander surrenders
an imperial fortress. This is the law.
When in the old days an English
gunner caused the death of a Chinese
by firing a salute from a cannon from
which by oversight the ball had not
been removed, he was seized, tried
and executed. And in 1839. when in
the course of a disturbance with English
and American sailors at Canton a
Chinese was killed, the authorities demanded
that if the guilty person could
not be detected and executed the whole
party should be handed over for execution.
This is the law.
Intention is never taken into account.

THE LOOMS OF INDIA.
Wonderful Work That Haa'Been Don
By the Natives.
The manufacture of cotton in Indl
dates back to its earliest history. Ther
are allusions to It connected with Indl
In the Bible. In old Sanskrit record
mention Is made of It being used 1
India nearly 3,000 years ago. At th
time of Alexander's invasion of Indl
the dress of the Hindoos was describe
as consisting largely of calicoes, pur
white or having figures. Among th
Imports Into Europe during the firs
century, enumerated by the elde
Pliny, muslins and calicoes from Indl
are described as of superior quality.
Perhaps the earliest notice of col
ton Is by Herodotus, about 450 B. C
who speaks of . the trees of Indl
bearing as their fruit fleeces mor
delicate and beautiful than those c
sheep and of the Indians using ther
for the manufacture of cloth. Fror
India cotton cloth was gradually ir
troduced into Greece, Rome and Sic
ily before the Christian era. Cotto
awnings were used in the theatre e
the Apollinarlan games, and Caesa
afterward covered the Roman forur
with them, as also the sacred wa
from his own house to the Capitolia
hill, which is said to have appeare
more wonderful than the gladiatoriE
exhibition itself.
The cotton fabrics of the Hindoo
have been excelled in fineness an
excellence only by the production
of the most perfect machines of mod
em times. By these people wer
made the fine muslins known to th
Greeks by a name which referred t
their coming from the borders of th
Ganges.
The city of Calicut, on the Malaba
coast, which, with Surat, was an an
oiont onttnn morl fnr thp tinnnlv n
the more western nations of Ash
gave its name to the variety of th
fabric known as "calico." Kom
qualities of these were "so fine tha
one could hardly feel them in th
hand, and the thread when spun I
scarcely discernible." Dacca, one
a considerable and wealthy city, ly
ing to the northeast of Calcutta, ser
out from its looms In the early cen
turles those wonderful tissues of fin
muslins made from a staple too shoi
to be woven by any machinery, name
on account of their fineness "Abra
wan," or. "flowing water," and "Shat
man," or "evening dew."
Even after the advent of the Er
gllsh in India there is an instance re
corded regarding the fineness of
piece of muslin twenty yards Ion
and one quarter yard wide, weighln,
only fourteen ounces. With the rud
est of implements the Hindoo wome
spun those almost impalpable thread
and wove fabrics that for fineness c
quality have never been successful!
imitated elsewhere. With the deca
of the native Hindoo courts the chit
customers, the demand ceased, an
the manufacture has entirely stoppei
Dacca today exhibits little more tha
a ruin.
Weaving in India divides nseir in
to two branches?hand loom an
power loom weaving. The propor
tion of hand loom made cloth to pow
er loom Is fully two to one?that ii
there is about twice as much han
loom cloth made in India as there I
power loom made cloth.
The native hand loom Is a mos
primitive affair. The Indian han
loom as It now Is is the same as I
was some thirty centuries ago. Th
old English fly shuttle hand loom c
a century ago is ages in advance c
the hand loom now in general use b
the native weavers throughout Indlj
Of course there are a number of fi
shuttle looms In successful use in cei
tlan localities for Instance thos
now in the mission schools, first In
troduced by the Danish or Germa
Lutheran missionaries In Madras, an
though in some instances they hav
met with a certain degree of succesj
yet they have not succeeded in indue
ing the native weaver to take to th
"fly shuttle," in the same business
like way as was done In Europe an
in America in the days of our grant]
parents.
The power loom can make cloth. I
not possibly better, certainly cheape;
than the hand loom, but on accour
of the disability under which mant
facture labors In India the powe
loom is not worked to Its full produc
tlve capacity.
Outside competition and advance
ment in the art of weaving will event
ually force the improvement of th
Indian power loom weaver and wit
the coming of that condition will wit
ness the beginning of the end of th
hand loom Industry. It is claimed b
the more conservative that it is pei
haps well that India should keep t
the hand loom, but this Is the sam
economic question that has so ofte
arisen In other and more advance
nations. American and Europea
countries have had to face it befoi
now, and as they have solved it s

against chilled plows on account of the
points wearing out so quickly, we hunted
for an all steel plow and have found
It in the MOLINE line. We have contracted

you an ail steel plow for not a
great deal more than the chilled plow
Take out one of these plows, if you like
it keep it, if you don't like it bring
it back and that will be the end of it.

. Not One Sane Man
Out of 1,000 actually believes I
that it is possible to buy $1.00 in 1
value for less than $1.00 when he J
starts out to buy anything of recog- '
nized value except life insurance.
Most sane men know that unless they
keep their eyes open they are liable
. to pay $1.25 for $1.00 in value. There
[ is no mystery about the apparent
3 lack of business sense in connection
with the purchase of life Insurance, <

5 that 99 out of every 100 buy life in.

c a company, taking the agent's word '
for the claim that the company he
] may be representing is the one that
, holds the record for everything calcu.
Intod In he to the Interest of the in
. sured, when It may be a fact that that
same agent has represented as many
as a half dozen different companies In
as many years, and made the same
claim for each In turn, and has changed
companies from time to time because
he knows from experience that
people buy insurance from the agent
instead of because of any actually
known merit of his company, and believes
that It Is to his present financial
. Interest to work for the company that
pays him the largest commission.
We have been trying to represent the
Mutual Benefit for nearly eight years,
notwithstanding the fact that it pays
Its agents a smaller commission than
. any company doing business in the <
> State. We depend entirely on the J
company's policy contracts and Its .
sixty-two years' record for honorable ,
} dealing with all members, for busl- ,
ness. We stick to It because we .
s know we can prove it Is the best policy-holder's
company in business, and '
that every man we Insure Is certain
to be satisfied, and will be certain to
help spread the good work. I
