And speaking of BARRIERS, the striped

once the standard of the great house
of Medici, the first rate money-lenders
of Europe But in France the pawn
broking business is happily a mono
poly of the government, and the per
cent. interest that is charged yearly
does not allow the purchase of golden
balls.
These two are the most interesting
of the trade signs of Paris. bat the
others make up in picturesaleness
what they lack in suggestion. For in

was not so easily pressed into shapes
as it is now, and this was the simplest
method TO present the idea of cigar.
Another American trade which once
employed the swinging signs are the
opticians. In France the golden spec

cellent artistic company
More on the beaten track of travel
is similar sign, also of cast iron,
designating pious wine-sho facing
the great central markets of Paris,
which stand where they have stood for
centuries, in the heart of the city. This
figure shows Holy Infant, with shep-

gence that the piece was not stolen
from a church. and, far from being
sacrlegious, is evidence of the devout
faith of the founder of the establish

Not so very far away is the famous
restaurant of the Smoking Dog, the
name set forth in illustration in a
blackened portrait of that accom-
plished animal. Prosperity and fame
have been hard on this establishment,
however for they have made it posi-
BILE to buy a fine glass awning, and
the portrait of the dog is set on the
edge of the new ornament, outlined in
twisted iron of the sort turned out by

hands.
Once. and only once, outside a mu-
scum, did ! ever see one of the old
swinging tavern signs, and that, too,
was in the market quarter. 1t was a
beautiful, delicate bit of work, repre-
senting a bunch of golden grapes sus-
pended from a scrolled mass of
wrought iron.
Such things, however, are far too
scarce now to make them an object of
profitable research on the streets of
Paris. Yet seeking them will lead you

fill your soul with the tantalizing
pleasures of glimpses of courts you
may not enter and old houses whose
stories have never been written. And
moreover, such a search may lead you
to keep Your eyes open for the more

WONDERFUL, RESCUE AT "GIB'
veraclous Soldiers Story Of How Hs
Saved His chum With a Horse
shoe Magnet.

''It was terrible moment" said the
old soldier, with a shudder.
Tell us all about it," cried the
squad Of recruits, eagerly.
1T happened at Glib. I was walking
along the top of a cliff with chum,
when he was suddenly seized with ver-
tigo. There was a sheer drop of at
least 1000 feet, and when l saw him
reel and slip over the precipice I gave
him UP for lost. Quick as lightning, I
pulled a large horseshoe magnet out
OF my pocket, and, laying fat upon my
chest, extended over the chasm. I
could see my friend far below, falling
rapidly. and turning over and over.
He looked no larger than doll; but
gradually as the magnet exerted its In.
fluence, his figure became more dis
tinct, and he rose with terrific bump.
The magnet had attracted his large
steel spurs and, exerting all my
strength, held him there for two
hours, till help came."-Tit-Bits.

melancholy fact that the former waz
made from a number of gold snuff
boxes presented to the Duke of York
by various cities and by the Univer.

This Is a period Of studied simplic-
ity in dress which does not imply
that dress Is any the less costly mere
ly that we see no beauty In elabora-
ton or superfuity, and display pref
ty tendency to wear wreaths of wild
flowers on our hats instead Of plumes
and roses.
Incidentally, no more striking proof
can be furnished Of an artificial age
than love Of simplicity. In Charles
IFS day, the fair ladies posed as shep-
herdesses. and tried to be the hero
ines of pastorals. though never taken
as whole, was society less near to
nature. The Roman nobility believed
In a return to the primitive life. while
indulging In the greatest luxury, The
people who are really poor cherish no
happy illusions about plain attire and
palmer fare. To them they are mere
iy accomplishments Of 0 poverty of
which they are ashamed since they

Exercise.


Exercise in its general significance
is a glorious thing. 1t is not, how
ever, anything much in its purely
physical sense. Thus, person with
large muscles and not very big wits
is of almost no value to society,
whereas person who has exercised
both is often indispensable. Exercises
for the wits are very difficult. There
Is nothing to do 100 times. or so times.
1t is not something to which one can
give 20 minutes the first thing in the
morning and then go the rest Of the
day. Socrates, who was the Sandow
OF mental exercise, kept his pupils at
it pretty much of the time. There is
one phase of 1t which is especially
hard. This Is the exercise of ones
rights. Unexercised rights are much
worse than unexercised muscles.
Thus, after voting, we are ordinarily
mentally stiff and sore for several
days. This Is because, unaccustomed
to exercising our rights, we strain
them.
The secret Of e all is to exercise
your muscles little, your wits lit
tie and sour rights little. AS the
Greeks said, Nothing too much"
