BUSINESS SIGNBOARDS.
They War* Used at First Only by th*
Inna and Tavarns.
The first tradesmen to adopt the uae
of signs were the innkeepers, and from
earliest times in England and on the
continent the taverns of town and
country were distinguished by sign
boards bearing the names of tbe hos
tel ries. It was not until tbe sixteenth
century that merchants dealing in oth
er than liquid refreshments began to
erect signs over their doors.
Once started tbe custom spread rap
idly. and tbe seventeenth century was
a period of prosperity for the slgu
painters of England. Even in London
the houses and shops were not num
bered, so a tradesman's place of busi
ness could only be known by a sign.
The ingenuity of the merchants was
tuxed in such a city ns London to pro
vide an original sign that would stick
in tbe memories of passershy.
A man starting in business consid
ered a striking sign his most impor
tant investment. These signs, often
huge in size, were sometimes slung en
tirely across the street. As they grew
old they occasionally fell and thus be
came a source of danger. Such signs
were prohibited b.V parliament in the
year 1702. and after that merchants
had to be content with more modest
signs placed flat against the fronts of
their buildings.—New York World.
Whistler Was a Dandy.
If taking infinite pains with his ap
pearance means dandyism, then Whis
tler was a dandy. The very ward
pleased him, and he used it often, in
American fashion, to express jierfec
tion or charm or beauty. Never was
any man more particular about bis per
son and bis dress. He was as careful
of his hair as u woman, though there
was no need of the curling tongs with
which he has been reproached: the dif
ficulty was to restrain bis curls and
keep them in order. The white lock
gave just the right touch. However
fashion changed, be alwuys wore the
mustache and little imperial which
other West Point men of his genera
tiou retained, through life. Even bis
thick, bushy eyebrows were trained,
and they added to the humorous or
sardonic expression of the deep blue
eyes from which many shrank.—Pen
nell's “Life of Whistler.”
Epitaph of a Cynic.
John Goodman of Sulton. Surrey
county, England, was a cynic. His
own will convicts him of so being. He
directed in this document that no wom
en be allowed in bis funeral cortege.
And on his tombstone he bads that
the following verse be carved:
Farewell, vain earth, I’ve had enough of
thee.
And now am careless what thou say'st of
me.
Thy smiles I car’st not, uor thy frowns 1
fear.
My care la past, my head lies quiet here.
What faults you see in me take care te
shun
And look at home, enough le to be dona

Curious Extinct Animal.
The Amblypoda was one of the most
curious of the extinct species of mam
mal They were the size of the ele
phant and had five toes on each foot
ending in hoofs instead of nails. Re
mains of these have been found in
England, but the best specimens have
come from North America.

A PEOPLE OF CONTRASTS.
Italians, Lika Their Land, Endowed
With Great Physical Charm.
Province by province Italy manifests
a varying diarni und the iteople differ
as widely us their surroundings. ^Tbe
hot blooded southerner observes a dif
ferent standard of morals and hygiene,
fires to anger or interest more quickly
and Is generally less dependable and
industrious than bis uortberu brother.
Both are gifted with the black eyes
and hair and tbe swarthy complexion
as u race that Is a general characteris
tic of tbe Latin peoples. But the Ital
ian is. broadly shaking, like bis coun
try. endowed with a physical beauty
and charm beyond that of most of his
fellows.
In (he north, however, there are ex
ceptions—fair haired and reddish men
and women, who seem strangely out of
place among their dark neighbors.
Cool, temperate exotica they are among
tbe higher colored growths that some
how seem so tropical, with their sultry
smiles and fathomless, mysterious eyes,
In which forever broods tbe shadow of
tbe purple mountains that always and
everywhere dominates all Italy, even
to the delightful carabinieri, or rural
guards, those Xaindeoulc looking offi
cials who parade always solemnly in
pairs, hangers at tbelr sides, cockades
In their black beavers, the majesty of
tbe law in every line and footstep.—
