OLD FASHIONED SIGNS
Some ofthe odd Ones Displayed BY
Inn Keepers In England.

DASktkSISA W
Inn Keepers In England.
Detroit Free Press. Among the oddi-
ties of tavern signsi in England those that
contain the names of the apostles are not
uncommon. There are several "Luke's''
taverns-the district or ward probably
bearing the sanity name. Once the writer
came across Peters Finger" the sign
board bearing the figure with pointed
finger, evidently representing the saint in
discoursing.
In the line of quaint instances, how
ever, may be named the following.
Honest Lawyer" and "Silent Woman"
who are humorously deputed as having
attained that state of perfection or dis.
erection when the head is cut off and
carried under the arm. pig and
Whistle" Cook and Bottle,S and
Lamb and Flag are somewhat strange
combinations, hut Horse and Groom
Fox and Lamb" Coach and Horses"
and such like call for less comment. In
London the Hole In the Wall' probably
contains an aperture through which sup.
per beer is served TO customers who come
by a side entrance. l remember one
hotel which in exterior rhyme gave good
advice" though scarcely appropriate,
and may be deemed savoring of cant,
commencing:
"Let moderation he your guide,
And from Its precepts never Slide"
While another country inn called '"The
Wheel has this bidding:
"stop, friend, stop, I make no doubt,
You'll help me turn the wheel about"
There was a tavern in London where
if n entered and deposited q farthing
on the counter without speaking a glass
of ale would be served, but whether more
than once a day, or the origin of the
singular custom, l did not learn.
Some hostelries claim in the name of
the owning brewer such u distinction as
Browns Entire" meaning, | believe.
that its liquors are exclusively supplied
by him.
In the Isle of Man was to be seen the
following effusion on an inn or a hill
side:
"My name is Abraham Low,
Pm half way up the hill;
II higher up l go
That will be better still.
Then come and take q swill;
Take whatever you will;
The prices like me are low.n
In addition to being a tribute of affcc-
ton, the wife of a certain Landlord OF
the Lion did q little advertising for her
self dixie the widow of the sculptor, who
added a postscript to her perpetuation Of
his memory, viz monuments of THU
kind, $780, as follows:
Beneath this stone, in hopes of Zion,
Doth I've the landlord of the Lion
(Hls wife keeps on the business stin),
Resigned to the heavenly will"
There are other businesses on ''profes
sicns' that have been announced in an ode
way. Over the door of an aspiring chin
ney sweep in Manchester l once read:
.~JosephDoe, fire %cxtipguisher, he i've here
Seeks for orders far and near;
with his brush, ecraper and machine
he sweeps chimneys very clean.'

The Stops of an Organ

with such important functions as the
liver. are of course productive of ser
ious bodily disturbance. When it re-
lakes its secretive and distributive
activity, bile gets into the blood, and
tinges the skin and white of the eyes
with yellow. the bowels becomes con-
stipated, the tongue coated, the breath
sour. Then come headaches, vertigo
and congestion of the organ, accom-
panied with pain in it's vicinity or
under the right shoulder blade. Shall
blue pill be the remedy sought? No,
for mercury IN any form is perDicious.
What then? Experience indicates
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as the
true remedy for inactivity of the liver.
1t not only relaxes the bowels without
pain, but has direct stimulaI ing effeo t
upon the hepatio gland itself, the Sc. t
and origin OF the trouble. All malarial
complaint involves disorder of the
liver, and of these the Bitters is the
most popular curative. 1t also con-
quers dyspepsia. nervousness, rheuma-
tism and kidney troubles.

Yesterday morning, a painful and it
may prove TO be fatal accident, oc-
Cured to Mr.. Charles Fewster, a
painter, in the employ of Mr.. T. G.
Morris. MIR. Fewster was painting the
roof of the dwelling house of A. Sadd,
at the corner of Second and Franklin
Streets, and standing on 2 scant-
ling which had not been securely fixed
IN the wall. His fellow workers, it is
said, warned him that the board was
not safe, but the subsequent circum-
stances go to show that he had either
forgotten the warming. or was of the
opinion that the scaffolding was all
secure. However, he stepped upon the
board and fell to the earth. distance
of about twenty feet, result
ing in the breaking of one
of his ribs. The unfortunate man
was taken inside the house, which
is in course of construction, and fell
low-workmen fastened to the nearest
physician. who happened to be DR..
Condor. The worthy doctor imme-
diately attended to the injured man,
who was taken to his home on First
Street. It developes that the broken
limb is pressing against ths LUNGS, and
it is feared the accident may prove
fatal. Charlie" as he is familiarly
called by his associates, is a first class
workman, and genial young fellow
and his misfortune will be regretted
by all who know him, specially by his
employer. in whose esteem he occupies
q high place.

Accident While Switching

About 1890 on Monday morning the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific switch
engines were engaged in shunting
freight cars, near the Q. P. transfer
track, ct the freight depot. Both en-
gines were making for the same point
The engineers, of each locomotive, it is
supposed, were ignorant of the ap-
proach of the other-the U. P. cars
being pushed in q northward direction
while the G. 2. freight was being for
warded towards the south. A collision
occurred, which caused the collapse of
the end cars and the breaking of the
switch rods, besides damaging the
track. A good force of workmen were
at once dispatched to the spot, and
commenced the necessary repairs.
Business was somewhat delayed, but
not to any great extent.
