SIGNS ARE OLD.
Marking Business Houses Goes
Back to Ancient Greece,

ts. Lawn W ~A1ASASAC ALSSNSs
( The custom OF marking business house
by means Of sign Is OF very ancient
origin. In the great cities Of the east and
among the ancient Egyptians such a
practice must have been unnecessary, as
all trades were classified and confined to
certain sections Of the city and then all
wares were exposed to full view. as they
were displayed In open booths.
The history of Grecian slgn- boards IS
meagrc, yet the illusions Of Aristophranes
and Lucian to sign-boards warrant our
belief in their use by the Greeks. Athen-
ae tells lis, "He hung the well known sign
In front Of his house"
Advancing to Roman times, there is
abundant evidence OF signs, as the dis
coverles Of Pompei and Herculaneum
amply testify. In the Eternal city some
Of the streets derived their namest from
signs. Just as hundreds Of London streets
have been so named, The Roman street
"Vlcus ursi Pileati' was named from the
sign. for, as tho name Indicates, 1t was
the street Of "The Bear with the Hat on. =
But twas not until late in the fifteenth
century thattho custom gained footing
In England, first Of all among the tave ms
and ale-houses. Later came the necessity
of distinguishing between certain shops,
brought about by the fact that the houses
vera not numbered. and tho people could
not read workshops even II they had been
lettered In gold,-St. Nicholas.

Bag Punching.

DO you want to become an expert bag

Yes? Well, there is nothing easier.
There Is not ar art or athletic exercise
that can be acQur ed 80 readily. You have
to impress but one thing upon your mind
that is, that there can be absolutely 10
limit to the amount Of practice that you
must take.
The merest novice can. by constant
work, become a bag puncher Of no mean
ability in surprisingly short space OF
time.
That Is encouraging, is 1t not?
Another advantage that the exercise
has is that 1t does not cost very much
to RIG UP platform and bag. Any boy
can mako a platform and fasten 1t to
the ceiling Of his woodshed attic or cellar.
Then he can saa'6 up bis pennies until he
gets two or three dollars. That will not

London, Sept. 10.-The British for
eign Office is said to have made repre-
sensations at Washington anent the re-
cent seizure Of two or three islands off
the northern coast of British North
Borneo by the United States gunboat
Quiros. These islands are not con
nected with those off the coast OF
Sandakan Capital of British North

flag was recently hoisted.
The Quiros is stated to have lately
visited a port on the northeast coast
of Borneo and to have thence steamed
to Darvel bay, an important center in
Borneo, $50 miles southwark. There
the seizure is said to have occurred.
The islands, which have been under
British administration for the last 20
years, were originally infested by pi-
rates, who were driven out by the
Chartered company of Boreno. The
action of the Quiros was brought to
the attention Of the foreign office,
which then took up the matter. 1t Is
asserted at the foreign office that the
whole question of the islands is now
under consideration at London and in
Washington and that when Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne returns arbitra-
ton will be suggested.
