Using Old Signs.

cts surprising" said sign painter to a
reporter the other day, Ito note how anxious
some newly established firms are to purchase
signs that have seen service.
ITO meet the demand have worked hard
Of late months, and have hit upon plan by
which | can construct at a few days notice a
sign that will have all the appearances of
having been through the water. OF course,
inferior wood will have to be used in its con-
struction, and little mixture of my own
thrown in, and then we have a sign Of the
old school, so old in appearance that the
traces OF the firm name are scarcely visible
The mixture which | use requires great care
in forming, and its ingredients are very ex-
pensive, so that workmanship and material
considered, 'new-old' sign costs great deal
more than would sign in fresh bright gilt.
"Only questionable firms seek to impose
upon the public with false sign, but as
there are great many such institutions
aAoat at tn, present time, have no trouble
in finding ready and steady employment.
The fad has just been born, in my opinion,
and you'll see a pretty extensive trade in 1t
within few years. New York Mail and

1t has only been within the past ten years
or so that this class Of immigrants began to
colonize North Dakota 10 any extent. There
are now about $500 Of them located along
the border, in Pembina county. They are
clannish as a rule. They are well educated
In their native language, and rapidly acquire
knowledge Of English. When the advance
guard first arrived they started for the sand
hills as the foot hills OF the Pembina noun
tains are called. They have been going there
ever since, and this is where the main colony
is located, though there are lcelanders to be
found all through the county. Like the Scan
dinavians, they, as rule, were very poor
when they first arrived. Frugality, ability
to stand the rigorous weather of a northern
midwinter, and knowledge Of farming and
stock raising have been the basis Of their
prosperity Many of them have grown COM
paratively rich in Ave years, while Ameri-
cans and Canadians with equal advantages
have just made both ends METEOR. Phila-

In 1899 a ship of war from Rio to Lis

diamonds and about 100000 "crowns
turnois" In piasters, making in the whole
20, ,050, 900 ivres tournols. So much for
a single ship In 1774 two Spanish ships
from Vera Cruz and Havana arrived
with 22,000,000 crowns, besides mer-
chandise valued at 1000 900. Such ex-
amples could be multiplied.
OF the cargo of an English Indiaman
in 1771, one item alone-a diamond in
the rough--was valued at e100, 900, ''go-
ing to be manufactured in England on
account of one Of the Asiatic nabobs;' .
and on the private freight Of this vessel
the policies of insurance were opened at
Lloyd's at d high premium, so costly
