my own hand on the machine and it
was proper to sign it in type. If
had written the letter with a pen, |
told him, the signature with the pen
would have been all right. and a pen
was just as much an implement of
writing as typewriter was. There
fore my signature in type was quite
proper. though | admitted it would
not pass as legal signature. How
ever, | was not writing legal docu-

Island of MarY Names.

The political rechristening OF
streets in Paris is outdone by the
case of the island of Reunion, which
changed its name four times in just
over half a century. In 1893 it was
Bourbon, as it had been for century
and half; but the convention then
changed it to Reunion. Under the
empire it became lie Bonaparte, at
the restoration it reverted to Bour-
bon. and finally in 1S4S it became
Reunion one more. So the septuagen-
arian islanders of this last year could
recall an unparalleled series of COM
pulsory Vicar of Bray changes They
must have thought themselves lucky
few years later when the second
empire refrained from Bonapartizing
this island again.

travelled so feet from house to house.
