"Ain't you a pearl?" asked the court of the bewildered coloreC maiden. "No, Judge, I ain't no pearl" replied the girl. The defendant was before the court on a charge of carrying off the weekly wash of the family of T. J. Farmer who lives at the Atherton - mills. The girl said that she didn't know anything about, the washing except that her sister had taken , a lot of clothes and gone to Richmond, saying the police were after her. - Other colored . people in the court room volunteered the information that everybody knew the girl had outgrown her senses and that her -name was Pearl, but the accused persisted that she was not. Pearl Shuford and that she did not take the clothes. Mrs Farm er identified the girl positively but the negro seemed really to be confused herself, whether in attempting to lead i,ffchei aetirt to believe she ..wasn't Pearl or because she had outgrown her wits J if wrmlfl V imnnQQihlA to trll j. ijiii. tit: tt..u tn t- j " ier, i iu miss juua .u uCU In the meantime the court ordered the city this morning ; from .Baltimore tllnt ffir tnl. th 11n and Philadelphia where they went to'if the girl did have a sister.

Take, for instance, the niosi successful forms of any of the follow ing devices: the air brake, the cash- register, the steel car, the most pop ular stopper for beer bottles, the form of shoe-lasting machine most in use, the process of making the- best ar mor plate, the commercial process of making calcium carbide, from which acetylene gas is generated, as well as the commercial form of the car bide itself; the incandescent gas-lamp, the' phonograph and the grapho phone. Even if a patent covers only the feat ure of a device which makes it com mercially the most desirable of its kind, still such a patent, so far as holding the market at the old price is concerned, often gives a complete monopoly. A patent covering a pro cess or a machine for making a staple article, which process or machine effects such a saving In the cost of production as to enable its owner to undersell all others at a fair profit to himself, is as Valuable, while that con dition lasts, as a patent on the ar ticle itself, for the effect is to give him control of the market. Patents are the. only legal 'form of absolute monopoly. And they are absolute so far as they go. E. J. Prindle, in The Engineering Magazine . for Septem ber. ' Pointed Paragraphs.
