The signboard was tho earliest Kind
of advertising practiced, end was in
use at a very ancient time. "Whoso
bright intellect first hit upon the idea
is not known, but its use dates back to
the time w hen men began to tra le and
dic ker. The lithe nilotic-looking trail
ers of ancient Thebes and Memphis
were adepts in the science of sign
boards, as were also the lean, bearded,
turbaned Assyrian and Jiabylonian.
This was at least two thousand years
B. C
The first signboards were nothing
more than pictures of the goods sold
within. "When the large mass of peo
ple could not read, it was necessary for
shopkeepers and traders to call the at
tention of customers by some rude de
Tise. If a man kept sandals and shoes
for sale a representation of a sandal,
hung above the door, announced the
fact. So, if he were a fishmonger or a
jeweler, he simply hung out a wooden
fish or a pair of scales. In the buried
cities of Pompeii and llcrculaneum
many of these signboards have been
found. A baker's sign at 1'ompeii
represented an ass bearing a huge
cruet, which would be mysterious
enough if we did not know that tho
loaves of bread in that city were
Stamped with this uncouth device.
During the middle ages shops and
inns were designated by the quaintest
signs imaginable. Even as late as the
time of Addison a writerin the Specta
tor complained of the streets being
"filled with blue boars, black swans
and red lions." The same writer, in
speaking of the singular combinations
to be met with, says: " The fox and
the goose may be supposed to have
met; but what has the fox and the
seven stars to do together? And
when did the lamb and dolphin ever
meet, except upon a signpost V"
Some of these curious combinations
came about in a way that was natural
enough. For instance, a plover w ho
sold gloves at the Sign of the Angel,
wishing to indk ate the kind of goods
he sold, took for his sign a rather
chunky angel grasping a long glove
or gauntlet. In referring to this par--tieular
shop, people confounded tho
sign of the shop with the picture of
the goods sold within, and termed it
the "Angel and Glove." In the same
way we have the Lamb and Breeches,
the Negro and Comb, and the Lion
and Shoe, Sometimes an apprentice,
who had served out his time and was
setting up in business for h'mself,
would add the sign of the master
under whom lie had learned his trade
to that which. Ik chose for himself.
One young man, w ho had served his
apprenticeship at a shop called the
Three Nuns, chose a hare for his de
vice, and addel it, to Iita master's signs,
which thus becane tho Three Nuns
and a Hare, a most absurd combina
tion. Innkeepers very often put up for
signs the coats of arms of their patrons
or of the great man of the neighbor
hood, and their houses w ould be called
after them. The Somerset Arms, tho
Norfolk Arms, etc. The King's Arms
was naturally a great favorite, and was
represented by the English cuat of
arms, which, as is well known, has for
supporters a lion and unicorn. Not
unfrequently, in speaking of the house,
travelers would designate it by the in
dividual names of the supporters, and
In time the King's Arms would give
place to the Lion and Unicorn. In the
same manner the "Warwickshire Arms
became the Bear and Bagged Stair, and
the Gloucestershire Arms the Boar's
Head. .
Again, the tenant or dependent of a
house bearing a lion gules for its crest,
In adopting the crest as the sign of his
shop or inn, as the most natural thing
In the world, would translate the
heraldic term literally, and paint a red
Hon upon his signboard. This ac
counts for all the White Bulls, Blue
Boars, Black Swans, Golden Eagles,
and other fanciful names which any
one who has taken up an old English
book must have stumbled aero s.
Some cf the old innkeepers and ale
sellers were in the habit of embellish
ing their signs with bits of doggerel
verse, some of which are very curious.
One of these gentlemen, who had
opened an alehouse in the neighbor
hood of four others called respective
ly the Bear, the Angel, the hip, and
the Three Cups, wrote under his sign :
" My White Horse shall bite the Bear,
And nvike the Angel Hy;
Bhatl turn the 8hip her bottom up,
And drink the Three Cups dry."
The sign of the Fox at a country inn
bore the following quaint inscription :
" I ham a cunen Fox
You see. Ther hia
No harm attached
To me. It ia my Mrs.
Wish to place me
Here, to let you no
Ho sells good Beere."
An innkepper of "Warwickshire, who
was determined that the public should
not complain for any rennn ler of the
scriptural text, wrote as follows under
his sign :
" Ftop, brave boys, and quench your thirst j
If you won't drink, your horses inurst."
The invitation, if not the rhyme, must
have compelled assent.
The use of signboards at present is
mostly confined to inns and public
houses. Their reign has passed away,
with many of the other pretty but in
convenient customs of a rude age.
There are some notable exceptions,
however. Striped poles are t till used
as signs for barbers' th ps. The origin
of the.-e date back to the time when
the barbers were al-o the professed
chirurgeons, or blood letters. Form
erly blood-lettirig was the common
remedy for almost every disease.
"When a patient was desirous of being
bl d lie w ent to his barber, w ho made
him grasp a pole, during the operation
as that was supposed to make tho
blood run more freely. This polo was
painted red, so that tha blood stains
might not show so much. "When not
being used it was hung outside of tho
door, and the linen bandages employed
in the operation were sometimes twist
cd around it to dry. In this w ay a
striped pole came to be re ognize.l as
the regular sign of a barber's shop.
At one time it was tho fashion for
barbers to put out a blue and whito
pole, while surgeons used a red and
white one.
The three gilded balls which denote
a pawnbroker establishment are part
of the ant lent coat of arms of Lorn
bardy, where the first bankers origi
nated. In tho old time bankers were
accustomed to advance money on val
uables, and thus were gradually trans
formed into pawnbrokers. The balls
were formerly painted a blue tolor.
Tlte colored lights in the windows of
apothecaries aro a reminiscenco of
the days when street-lamps were un
known, and those who did business at
night must notify the public of the
fact in this manner. Baldwin's

Modern Cranks.
United States District Attorney
Corkhill, of Washington, recently de
livered an address before the Medico
Legil society in New York, upon "In
sanity as a Defense for Crime." He
tirst quoted many leading physicians
to show that modern scientific men,
both in America and in Europe, de
fine insanity as a disease. That which
had been called moral insanity, he
said, had no scientific recognition, and
should never be countenanced in a
court of justice. A jury should be
specially chosen to try a prisoner
whose defense was insanity. If he
should be found insane, he should be
confined in an insane asylum for a
certain time, commensurate with the
character of his crime. Continuing,
Mr. Corkhill spoke as follows:
It is the most astounding fact in
tho whole history of the administra
tion of criminal jurisprudence, that
within the past few years, nurtured
by the vagaries and senseless theories
of medical men on the subject, and
supported by tho testimony of so
called experts, almost every criminal,
when arraigned, oilers insanity as his
defen-e, assured that ho will have the
a-sistanco and support of medical
authors and experts. And, as a con
sequence, we have had just as many
different kind3 of insanity as we have
had crimes. But there is a class well
known, and recognized in every com
munity, who by their erratic character,
their vanity, their egotistical declara
tions, crowd themselves into every as
sociation, and by their arrogant assump
tion become prominent. They are not
always men who wear long hair,
nor women who wear short hair. You
have them in your society, unless the
press misreports some of your dis
cussions. They are doctors without
patients, lawyers without clients and
ministers without parishes. "Without
ever having done an honest day's toil,
they crowd themselves into labor and
trade organizations, and assume to be
representative men. And yet they are
the true representative traitors, mur
derers, thieves and scoundrel -i of com
munities, and when one of them com
mits a t rime the entire race of vaga
bonds join in tha clamor for their ex
emption from punishment on the
ground of in-anity. There has been a
w ord coined of late years to designate
these people, and they are called cranks.
Slaking a Maznet of a Snake.
"William lliffert, a telegraph operato
at Dauphin, l'enn., says a four-foot
black snake came dow n oil the moun
tains the ether day, straggled into the
ollii e, and coolly coiled itself upon his
table w hile lie was out. On hia return
it began darting out its tongue, but
showed no disposition to move. He
got a iece of copper wire, fastened
ona end to the battery, then stretched
it a ro s ti e snake's tail. Another
wire wa stretched in front of the
snake in such a way as to annoy it.
The next time it darted out its tongue
it touched tho wire, receiving a terri
ble shock. This made it so mad that
it grabbed the wire in its mouth and
could not let go. The battery was
shaken up, and the snake began a
series or gyrations never before seen
on any stage. "When killed its body
was so magnetized that Dails and
pieces of railroad Iron stuck to it.
A Desperate Suicide.
A recent suicide at Charleroi, Bel
gium, wa3 most terrible. A young
clerk at a bank there had been ar
rested for having forged and cashed a
check for 20,000 francs on the bank.
An uticle of his, a clerk in the tame
bank, was so much affected by the
event that he resolved to commit
suicide with his wife and two chil
dren. They first tried to open their
veins, and then to suffocate them
selves, and, finally, they threw them'
selves into the cistern. One of the
children, a little boy, escaped, and
called the neighbors. The wife was
found dead, and her daughter mortally
woundtd, while the man, who was
saved, disappeared, and it was believed
that he had drowned himself.
Welcomed Home.
He arrived home from Europe a day
ortwoago. He ha ln'tthe least idi athai
any one would turn out to welcome
him, and his surprise can therefore be
imagined when he reached tho Central
depot to hear a hurrah and toseethirty
or forty different persons pressing for
ward to shake hands. " My dear fel
low townsmen, I I ," he began, ai
ho removed his hat, but he suddenly
restored It to his head and made a rush
for the side door. They were a 1 bill

The (Jrnpo Cure.
The ancients understood the value
of the grapo as a cure for any disease,
acting strongly upon tho kidneys,
helping digestioD, and being successful
in restoring to health and strength
those who are weak and emaciated.
No one can state the quantity r
method of using; from thre to ten
pounds being used according to the
age and constitution t the patient.
They arejjfent rally divided into three
or four portions, t.iken at regular in
tervals through the day. The skins
and seeds are re jected, and the grapes
must be fully ripe, eve i then acting
injuriously upon the teeth if they have
symptoms of decay. There are many
places in Europe where the "grape
cure" is practiced, but particularly in
Switzerland. The quality of the 1 ru t
depends upon tho character of the
soil. A dry soil produces fruit con
taining much sugar and little acid; a
moist soil generates ac'd, albumen and
mucilage, but very little sugar. The
degree of maturity has also an influ
ence on the composition of the fruit.
Grape juice is richer in phosphoric acid
and potassa than are most mineral
"waters. There is a great difference
of opinion regarding the value of this
fruit among physicians, some regard it
as soothing, laxative and diuretic;
others give special emphasis to its
nutritive and tonio qualities. Prob
ably it will affect people according
to their state of health or disease, and
whether it is eaten while fasting or
after, or with the meal. Many con
siderations are ro mired before one can
pronounce judgment on the effect of
the cure.
Sparrows Instead or I'lareon'. .
The proprietor of a Philadelphia
shooting gallery has devised u scheme
which he expects will at once make
his fortune and hand bis name down
to future generations as the farmer's
friend. He proposes, in a Word, to
capture innumerable sparrows by
means of nets, and sell them at ten
cents apiece to marksmen who like to
shoot at a swift bird thrown from a
trap. He says that the sparrow,
though as tame as possible in a city
street, is as wild a a hawk when set
loose in a new place, and that his pro
ject has the sanction of commm prac
tice in England.
