one to suppose. To be sure it hangs out
side cigar shop and resembles a bad
imitation of cigar, but is in truth shaped
and tied about like the original packages
Of tobacco brought to the country.
These packages, called "civettes," were
of given size, were large in the middle
and tapering toward the ends. Such
signs originated when many Of those who
had learned to smoke had not learned to
read. Now they are lettered all over and
ornamented with figures of crossed pipes
or cards. For in Europe cards are al
ways sold at tobacco shops.
Red lights. which shine from afar at
night show to all smokers here they can
replenish their stock. But the unwary
stranger may bring up some night in
the police station, for the red light is not
only a sign of the tobacconist but of the
watch house as well.
Over all grocers' shops was once placed
a cone like sign made in imitation of
sugar loaf and Its blue paper wrapping.
These signs were Of tin. An American
learned in an interesting way they were
hollow and light. instead of wooden and
heavy, as he had always imagined them
to be.
Some years ago, in going down the Rue
st. Honore, near the Rue Royalo in Paris,
he was on top of an omnibus. 1t was
after the terrible days OF the Commune
and the fighting had been fierce in this
quarter. AS he passed along. high in the
air, he saw one Of these sugar-loaf signs
pierced through from one side to the
other. A bullet had gone in at one side
and out at the other, leaving ragged
hole in the tin.
Long after most of the effects OF those
direful days had passed away this battle
SCARED sign still hung over that grocers
door The front OF the building had
been pieced, repainted or renovated, but
still the tin sugar loaf sign remained.
At last the grocer retired from bust.
ness--as is the way with small French
tradesmen when they have amassed
little competency-and a newer and
younger man took his place, who consid-
cred that his shop was better without
than with this reminiscence of brothers
fighting against brothers. SO the last
sugar-loaf sign disappeared from this cen
tral, fashionable part of the French
capital.
The New York herald., 1922-05-28
Europe's Curious Shop Signs

wooden boxes outside cafes and restau-
rants in Paris and other large communi-
ties.
A common sight in Paris is that of
horses led through the streets with
punches of straw tied to their tails This
signifies that these animals are for SALE
In fact, bunch of straw tied to any OBJ
ject can always be interpreted to mean
that the present owner is ready to enter
into negotiations with any one who takes
fancy to his property. Thus, as he
passes along the streets one sees baby car
riages, bicycles or any second hand fur
niture with the bunch of straw attached.
He who runs may read such a sign even
better than written or printed card.
1t serves another end as we'll, for ad.
vertisements can be taxed, while there is
no tax on bunch of straw. In France,
unless an owner has a regular license to
sell, he must place Government stamp
on any sign or writing hung at the door.
In the same way even dressmaker or
shoemaker In want Of apprentices must
put Government stamp on any notice so
displayed.
A curious instance of this use of straw
used to be seen near English law courts
of the eighteenth century. Men willing
to bail criminals or debtors we're seen
parading with straws in their shoes, thus
signifying that they would bail for pay.
Thus worthless bail came to be called
straw bail"
The bunch of straw in continental
Europe has as many meanings as a Chi
nese word. II is quite a little language
In itself. When seen in the midst OF a
field tied to post far from human habita-
tion 1t Is warning against trespass. The
peasant knows that he will be arrested
or punished IL found within the boun-
daries of field so marked, for the field
has been lately sown with seed. Woe to
the sportsman or traveller who fails TO
understand this sign language.
One sees certain pennants looking a
trife like flags when the wind has died
out hanging beside certain city shops
These, which are always bright red in
color, hang from small iron frames, and
nothing else indicates that those within
are dyers, who work in many colors be-
sides red.
A small upright sign scarcely ever more
than two feet long and much like minia-
ture torpedo boat standing on end is not
a cigar. as the first glance would cause
The New York herald., 1922-05-28

TN many streets of continental Europe
are still to be seen signs. or unwrit-
ten words, which have no such clear
significance as the hat before hatters
shop or the boot before cobbler's. Ger
tain of these signs are so obscure in origin
and meaning that no one could under
stand them without reference to tradition
or the passersby.
Everybody in this country knows that
a pole painted with spirals of red, white
and blue is the usual sign before bar
ber's shop. But how few know that the
stripes are supposed by some persons to
represent leeches? That was when bar
bers performed simple surgical operations
and leeches were much employed to take
tlood from patients. Strange as 1t may
seem. In those days bleeding was the
great "cure all"
Before many barber shops in Europe
small brass plates are hung. These are
oval, concave and curiously scooped out
on one side as il piece had been bitten
out of 1t. This represents the old fash
ioned cupping dish, which barber chirur-
geons, or surgeons, also used in taking
blood from patients
Who would naturally suppose that mats
OF straw, loosely plated and fastened to
the corners Of buildings signify that
oysters are there for sale? But this ia
their meaning. In Europe oysters are
never eaten except raw, and in mild
weather they are exposed on the sidewalk
beside a man ready to open them for Gus
toners. In bad weather, when the oysters
are not exposed, persons who can read
may find them mentioned among the
names of fish on the shops placards, but
the mats are then expected to inform the
illiterate on the point.
The old proverb, Good wine needs no
bush,' refers to the custom of putting a
bush before wine shop door as a sign.
Sometimes branch is placed above tn !
door instead. often no name or any other
sign is displayed by the wine seller
Such bush may be of any tree common
to the locality. In the north IL is often
spruce or pine or huge branch Of mistle
toe. In the south 1t is almost always
olive or myrtle, and generally renewed
on fete days. The bushes have acquired
the name "bouchons" in France, and this
Is applied to small taverns also.
The ancient usage of hanging a bush
over the door is obsolete in cities, but
was doubtless the origin Of the habit OF
placing small evergreens in portable
