Statistics OF nomenclature would be
Interesting. John Smith. n travelling
man from New York, who was at the
Riggs house recently. states that one
person out OF each 100 bears tho same
name as himself. This used to be
source OF great annoyance TO him but
-he has proved equal 10 the emergency
by lnyentlng n new and attractive mode
OF Identification through the medium
OF photography. He buys photographs
the size OF postage stamp In large
lots, reducing their cost TO a nero tribe.
These he places on his business cards
and leaves with his correspondents
with instructions TO stamp ON all en-
yelopes. The photograph Ia placed in
the center OF the envelope and his name
below H. when he calls for mail he
presents duplicate photograph. thus
avoiding getting other mems letters or
their obtaining his. Tho scheme has
only been In operation month but
