of Belle Savage yard, Ludgate Hill. Is the
Elephant and Castle, the crest of the Cut

site late in the sixteenth century.
A notable stone sign is the Half-Moon in
the Borough High street. which still serves
as the sign of the inn of that name-a

great Southwark fire of 1859, was rebuilt.
There is another scuptured sign, the Run

1916 or 1896.
Recent improvements have probably
caused the removal of the Dog and Duck,
which appeared in a wall at Bedlam Hos

after the fire, and most existing specimens
date from this period. Painted signboards,
however. were Of course cheaper, and
therefore more common, and the plan of
numbering houses, which was introduced
early in the eighteenth century, soon
rendered signs of any description unneaes-

The Saver and the Miser.
Louis Star-Chronicle.

from the st. LOUIS Star-UhroIiCIe.
The miser is the poorest of men. for.
while he lives solely for self. he gets less
out of life than any other man. He has
money, but denies himself tho things that
money can buy. In making money the end,
instead of the means, of life he narrows his
purposes and achievements down to moth
ingness. But the despicable example of one
mfser nor thousand can ever shake the
firm foundation upon which rest wholesome
saving and thrift. The soul of thrift is
saving. Most men who have learned tho
trick of making millions at single deal
first learned how to double their pennies
To the man who would become rich tho
habit of saving. once firmly fixed, is his
most important capital.
