In Olden Days Men of Genius Turned
Out Swinging Signs That Wen
Really Attractive.
The staring signs that hare to long

Bwrds of tire underwriters object that
the structures not only serve to spread
the flumes, but greatly hinder the fire

Man diligently advertised his wares
even before the day of the frescoed
goat over the Ponjpeilan dairy. But
In those old days the desire tor cus

The floating cupid. pictured in front of

and waving the mate In his chubby
hand, if a thing of beauty as well as
a symbol of trade. The picturesque
winging boards of some generations
past were outgrowths ef the display
of armorial beatings and heraldic
crests, sumptuous and pleasing to the
eye.
In days gone by artists of note did
not scorn to try a prentice hand on
orh signs. The "Mule and Muleteer,"
an early work of Cnrreggio, was orig
inally painted for an Inn. Many a
royal academician has given the pub
lic a lion or a unicorn. The age of
artistic sign painting received Its
death .blow In the reign of George Q
when soch erections fell under the
bead of "street nuisances."
ADVANTAGE IN "AUBURN" HAIR

If yon are a girl and have red hair,

their jealously, asserts London An

pressed the opinion that the rod-haired
woman has a distinct advantage over
nil ethers In the matrimonial race.
Man is attracted by the subtle shades
of copper and red In girl's hair,
and this explains why "henna" dye

"Carrots" the loudest wilt be the first
to try the effect of "henna" herself.

TRAINING WAIFS OF CAIRO
Government of Egyptian City Has In.
stituted School Where Stray Boys
Will Be Educated.
It looks as If the problem of the
waifs and strays of Cairo was going
to receive at last serious attention.
After much Insistence on the part
of some public-spirited officials a spe
cial school for boys of this class ha
been opened in the environs of Cairo,
where they will be looked after and
trained by the government without
their having committed some crime to
admit them into the reformatory, pre
viously the only Institution of the kind.
Nothing so far has been done for the
girl children, though another home la
promised for this purpose. It la there
fore satlsfaciory to hear of the forma
tion of an organisation called the
"Brotherhood Federation," ostensibly
nonsectarlan and international, with
the object of looking after and Im
proving the lot of the child waifs gen
erally. A meeting recently held In support
of this movement waa given much
prominence in the local English papers,
but in spite of Its Intimate bearing on
a purely Egyptian problem none of the
Arabic papers appears to have given
the matter any publicity. Christian

Progressed by Slow Stages.
Thirty years ago the men of Hart

were accustomed to meet at a bridge
on the edge of the town, where they
would read the papers and discuss
events. This was al) right in summer
time, bnt la the winter it was 'differ

journ to a sheltered' spot under the
bridge. From this they moved into c
rack-ed pigsty and later annexed an
othei pigsty. This rude building wan
unproved by their own efforts until it
was a fairly comfortable place. From
this humble origin there is now a
rather pretentious library, with the

stock of good books.

PHONE QUE TO DEAF MUTES
While Teaching "Visible Speech" It It
Said Alexander Graham Bell '
Mads Great Discovery,
That the telephone whs born In
America, Hiid that Alexander linihani
Bell mude his discovery In Host on of
the only way In which speech could
he transmit led, was due to circum
stances full of the deepest human In
terest, Buys the Telephone I'ress Ser-1
vice. That Hull came to Boston to
teach his fathers method of visible
speech, was due to the insistence of 1
a New England womnu, Miss Sarah 1
Fuller, principal of the Horace Munn
School for Deiif Mutes.
Miss Fuller so impressed the Boston
school board with the Importance of
this method of Instruction for the un
fortunate children under her care,
that, after vainly trying to secure of
Bell's father, who had Invented the
system, the board, upon his recom
mendation, offered the son, Alexander
Graham Bell, $500 to come to Boston
and give a course of instruction at
the Bchool.
He went there April 1, 1871, and
thereafter divided his time between
teaching the theory of visible speech
to the teachers, and In practical In
structions to the pupils. In 1872 he
opened a normal school for teachers.
In 1873 he accepted an appointment as
professor of vocal physiology In the
school of oratory of Boston university.
In 1875, Professor Bell made the happy
discovery that led to the Inveuttou of
the telephone. He was then twenty
eight years old.
IRELAND UNDER ALIEN RULE
Power ef the Danes Broken by Brian
Boru In 1014 Normans Became
Amalgamated.
About 800 A. D., the pagan hosts
of the Northmen and Danes fell on
Ireland with fierce destruction. After
a century of destruction, Irish kings
led their people In a succession of
ware, for tbe deliverance of their
country, and Brian Borama, or Brian
Born (928-1014), king of Huniter, by
his great victory In the battle of Clon
tarf, on April 28, 1014, finally broke the
power of the Danes In Ireland, In
1171 Ireland was Invaded by tbe Nor
mans 'from England, Id the time of
Henry II, and Its conquest began, "In
Ireland." to quote the words of Prof.
Edward A. Freeman (1828-1802) "the
Norman was more purely a conqueror
than anywhere else, but In Ireland bis
power of adaptation caused him to
sink In a way In which he sank no
where else. While some of the Nor
man settlers In Ireland went to swell
the mass of the English of the Pale,
others threw In their lot with the
native Irish, and became, in the well
known saying, "more Irish than the
Irish themselves" Detroit News.
"Henry VIII."
"Henry VIII" Is supposed to have
been drawn mainly from Cavendish's
"Life of Wolsey" and from the chroni
cles of Olieitle and others. It was ac

Shakespearean works whs not writ

Why "Splnsterf
The term "spinster" applied te an
onmarrted woman Is an actual refer
ence to the spinning wheel. In olden
times women were prohibited from
marrying until they had spun a full
set ef bed furnishings; thus, before
l heir merrlsge they spent much time
at the spinning wheel, and were,
therefore, known as "spinsters,"
