Old Time Trade Sign*.
On nearly all street corners even in
the largest metropolis of Europe may
be found relics of the middle ages and
of the earliest Unit's Take, for In
stance. the wooden Image of a shoe,
which every cobbler bangs out above
his door. It goes back for Its origin
to the Rome of the pre-Christian era.
In the ruins of the lava buried cities
of Herculaneum and Pompeii many
shop signs of stone and terra cotta
have been discovered, the forerunners
of those that for centuries adorned
the highways not only of Europe, but
of the new world. Among tbem wan
the emblem of the shoemaker's trade,
a Cupid carrying a dainty pair of wo
men's shoes. But the Romans did not
stop there. They used the Image of a
goat to indicate the dairies, that of a
mule driving a mill to point out the
bakers' shops and a bush of evergreen
to direct the thirsty traveler to a tav
ern. This particular sign gave rise to
the English proverb, "Good wine needs
no bush."
The View Prom ?n Aeroplane.
It is a cront surprise to the unini
tiated to see how uniform the surface
of the earth appears when viewed
from a great altitude. Although Indi
vidual objects are hard to Identify,
snch things as rivers, lakes and rail
roads are easily recognized by their
contour, direction or some slight indi
viduality or characteristic which can
readily be shown upon a map, espe
cially If tho maps are made or correct
ed by men who fly above the earth
? and get an accurate and literal hlrd's
eye view of Its surface. Objects
which seem to loom up with the great
est clearness to one standing on tho
suiface of the earth appear very dif
ferent and quite Insignificant when
viewed from above, while a patch of
colored soil which would not be no
ticed at all hy a person standing on
the ground is a most valuable land
mark to the air sailor. ? Columbian

Jumping Cocoon*.
Many visitors to the southwestern
states and Mexico have amused them
selves by watching the queer notions
of "jumping beans," the seed vessels
of a plant, each of which contain the
| pupa of an Insect whose spasmodic
j movements cause the bean to hop and
I roll about
More remarkable are the "Jumping '
I cocoons" found In South Africa. The
j cocoon is formed by the mother in
sect and Is very hard. The pupa when .
i ready to emerge must cut Its way out
The front of Its head has a sharp,
chisel-like edge, and by driving this
against the inside of the shell It grad
ually makes a bole. The violent mo
tions of the pupa within cause the co
coon to leap so that one has been seen
to spring out of a small glass tumbler.

Saved Storage Charges.
Young men with meager salaries
evolve financial makeshifts abhorrent
to the moral and physical sensibilities
of their opulent elders. Said 0110
young sprig of boardlnp house gentil
ity to another who expected to seek
new quarters upon his return from a
I two months' trip on the road:
! "What are you polng to do with all
j this personal truck that Is cluttering
; up your room? It will cost you any
! how a dollar a month for storage."
"Not the way I am working things."
said the man who was going away.
"I have purposely refrained from pay
ing board for four weeks, and the laud
j lady will hold my stuff. Of course I
j shall square up when I come back
i and get It again, and in the meantime
' she will give it free storage."? New

Lawyer* on a Strike.
Over 300 years ago one of the most
| unusual strikes ever recorded took
| place tn Parte, when all the lawyers
walked out, so to speak. A law or
ordonnance was Issued and promul
gated by the French king Henry III.
ordering all lawyers to sign their
pleadings and to state the amount
they were charging their clients for
their services. This was done so that
the lawyers could be properly and
sufficiently taxed on their Income.
The lawyers objected, and the strike,
causing an entire stay of Judicial pro
ceedings. followed. Peace was restor
ed by the nonenforcement of the or
donnance, though It was not repealed.
