How It Began.

AS for the druggists show bottles, it Is
impossible to speak with definiteness, be-
cause explanations of their origin vary, and
many authorities are content to call them
ancient emblems without attempting to
trace their history. 1t is thought. however
that their adoption was by a process of
evolution, that at first druggists display yed
medicines in their windows. but as these
were affected by exposure to sunshine, COL
ored fluids were substituted. From this
the evolution went on until ornamental
bottles made especially for show purposes
became popular. During the time that
many varieties Of classified trade signs
were In vogue the pharmacist often had
In front Of his store the representation of
a large mortar and pestle. implements used
In mixing powders.
But even the show bottle is becoming of
less general use. AS for the cigar-store
Indian. tobacco dealer in one of the
larger otttes says that while there were

ago. there are now not over Atty.

Butcher and Baker.

While the butcher. the baker and the can
dlestickmaker observed no restrictions as
to choice of tokens. which might be sug-
SeStive of astronomy, natural history, bot
any or mythology. but rarely were of bread
meat or candies. the pawnbroker barber
and druggist adhered to conventional and
uniform emblams Why? Perhaps it was
because they realized that mankind when in
need of loan. shave or medicine is prone
to seek the nearest source of relief without
being concerned as to whose place it is. 1t
is not improbable that the same reason un-
derlies the staying qualities of the signs
mentioned. They were among the first
signs adopted to classify trade They
are practically the sole remnants of that
variety of sign heraldry. though some sad
deries continue to display a wooden horse,
some jewelers. a large gilded wooden clock,
some opticians eyeglasses and huge propor-
tions. some locksmiths an immense key
and furriers who are Independent of de-
partment stores specimens of the taxi
dermists art.
That form of trade heraldry which dis
tingulshed the individual and not his occu-
patton began TO become obsolete toward the
close of the eighteenth century. II was a
relic OF the time when illiteracy was prev
alent and was not regarded as reproach,

horrowed from the armorial bearings or the
| Medici. the earliest and most famous OF
the money-lenders of Lombardy. That the
Lombards were partial to the -broklng
business Is a fact attested. say the en-
| tomologists, by the derivation of the world
| ..Iumber ROOM" which Is a corruption or
the word Lombard room.' meaning
room in which the LombardS were wont to
store the odds and ends of property they
retained as pledges for loans. But Why
did the Medici adopt three balls in their ar
mortal bearings?" is a question which nat
urally arises here. For 1t there are di-
yereent answers. One is that Alverado
de Medici, commander under Charlie
magne, slew the giant Magello. took his
club which had three iron balls upon it,.
as a trophy. and afterward incorporated
the three balls in the heraldlc device of the
family The other is that the three balls
represent gilded pills, used in the profess
sion of medicine, in the practice of which
the family was eminent and from which
they derived their surname. That the fam
lily was versed in the knowledge of drugs
and that some of its members made i'm
proper use of 1t are facts asserted BY many
historians.
TIL BARRIERS pole was designed at a time
when the barber also a surgeon. 1t Is
symbolic of blood-lettng, once held to be a
sovereign remedy for almost any aiment.
The pole signs represented the brass basins
in which the blood was caught, the bandage
twisted around the arm previous to blood
letting and the bandage used for binding
up the arm. 1t is needless to add that the
sign represents something which frst-class
BARRIERS avoid in these days. The presence
of the blue stripe on many of the poles
has not been satisfactorily accounted for.
Sir Walter Besant. in writing of London in
1850. speaks of red, white and blue poles to
be seen at that time. SO American pa
triotsm has no legitimate connection with
the color scheme that varies from the orig
inal red and white.

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.
THREE IMPORTANT MEASURES
FOR ATTENTION.
Legislature Will Be AsG65 IS considef
Carefully the Bills at C0f5lna
Session.

Among the most important subjects
taken up by the State Bar association
was a bill recommending t,ts preserva.
| ton OF our natural resources. 81 bill re-
lating to negotiable instruments which
| is strongly advocated by the BANKERS
of the state and bill which calls for
direct primary nominations.
Owing to the brevity of the meeting
it was impossible to bring out the de.
tails Of the subjects under discussion
and after several speeches the three
bills were recommended to the legisla-
ture as worthy of their consideration
and it is more than probable that many
of the lawyers of the staae will exert
their influence with their representa-
tives in the general assembly, to have
the bills taken up at the next session
The bill before the association relat-
ing to negotiable instruments came up
before the last session of the legsla-
ture 1t was introduced by Senator
Caldwell, being aa act to establish a
law uniform with the laws of other
states on that subject. 1t will probab.
ly come up again this time and the
hackers of the stste will try to have
it enacted in the ferNs of law.
Probably the most far reaching;
legislation that was called to the atten-'
ton of the lawyers was the advocacy
of law for direct primary nomina"
tons. Attorney Charles McCramic, Of
Moundsville, is the sponsor for this bit
of legislation that world revolutionize
the procedure of party nominations In
this state. John T. Cooper, of Wood
county, made speech in behalf of the
law and reviewed the good results that
woHld result from it if enacted into a
law. 1t calls for the direct nomina-
tioniof all candidates on all tickets on
the saline day, from the mere constable
in a backwoods district to the nomina-
ton or United States senators by di-
rect vote. II was recommended to the
Legislature as worthy of their consider
atom
The bill relating to the preservation
of the oil and gas of the state is the
outgrowth Of a battle wagedjby DR.. I.
