The Swinging Bard Bearing the Name of an Animal, os a Hero, or a Well-Known_ Object Is Frequent Throughout the Old Land and Very Often an Ordinary Name Has a High Sounding Origin. Swinging signs are a familiar sight outside country inns, though in most towns the authorities look on. them with disfavor. In the first place, they are api to come down on the heads of the passers-by "when 'the stormy winds do blow'; in the second place, modern nerves 'are unable to stand the constant creaking yéferred to by ay : "But when the swinging signs your ears offend : With ereaking noise, then rainy floods impend ; Boon shall the kennels swell with rapid streams, And rush in muddy torrents to the Thames." , In former days, not only inns and coffee-houses, the doctor and the schoolmaster, the barber and the awnbrokér had their special signs, Put every shopkeeper and artisan dis- played them -- just as the modern sweep hangs out his brush. When few could read or write, this was an ex- cellent method of calling attention to one's wares, so the dairyman display- ed a painted cow on his board, and the barber hung out a pole with *'de- pending stoclnngs ty'd." The custom shows a teridency to revive of late. Hotels and taverns have always kept up the use of sigoboarde, and a number of London inns owe their names and devices to the badges of the City Companies. 'Adam and Eve with the A "" seems & curious title for a tavern till we learn that it was the badge of the Fruiterers' Company ; "The Dolphin," popular by the river and in seaports, belonged to the Watermen's Company; 'The Angel and Trumpet" was the si of the Stationers'; the Curriers had ""The Goat" and "Stag and Goat," while "The Horse" was very appropriate for the Baddlers' Company. We must not forget, however, con- cerning this particular device, that this was not only its signification, for in many country districts this sign was usually an armorial bearing, as was, indeed, sometimes the case in London also, where "The White Horse" represented the Hanoverian djnatty and "The Flying Horse" is Pegasus of the Inver Temple. "The Lamb and Flag," or "Lamb and Banner," of course, represents the Agnus Dei of the Middle Temple. Varigus explanations are given as to the origin of "The Green Man." In the country it generally meant that the original owner of the inn had been 'a gamekeeper, but it was some. times a herbalist's sign, and in Lon- don "The Green Man and Still" stood for the Distillers" Company. It is possible that it may had some con- nection with "The Green Man," coy- ered with ivy, moss, and other kinds of greenery; who appeared in the an- clent City pageants, and from whom Jack-in-the-Green is descended. In cider counties "The Apple Tree" is a common sign, and "The Bush" dates from the time when vinters set up a bush outside their doors as a token that wipe was sold on the premises--a custom still existing in many parts of the continent; and which gave rise to the proverb, "Good wine needs no bush." Hampstead, famous for picturesque old inns, possesses "The Bull and Bush" and "The Holly Bush," as well a8 "The George," "Jack Straw's Cas- tle," and "The Bpaniards." The orig- in of the last named is disputed; some imagine that it was founded by Bpauniards, or that Spanizh wines were sold there; others say that it was originally "Espaliers,." because some famous espalier apple trees grew on the site. The old London inns had endless Herary asgociations, from the days when Chaucer wrote of "The Babard" and "The Bell" at Southwark, and the Elizabethan period, when Shakespeare frequented "The Mermaid," and "rare Ben Jonson," with Beaumont snd Fletcher, and many other men of let ters met at 'The Dog," "The Sun," or "The Triple Tun," or at "The Three Nuns" in Aldgate, down to modern days when deénnyson immor- talited "The Cock Tavern," on the south side of Fleet street, and Dick- ens and Thackeray loved to resort to the ghctitres que old inns, so many of which, alas! et Wid swept away. ¥he famous ** hire Cheese" was thé haunt of the literary men of the eighteenth century, and the Society of Antiquaries was started in "The Young Tavern" Fleet street, "The OM Devil" stood at Temple Bar, ou THE DAILY BRITISH WRIG, TUESDAY, JUNE 11. 1012. A WASHINGTON STORY. General Gassaway Saw the Great Man in a Comic Situation, A correspondent favors.uos with this anpublished ayecdote about George Washington, olitained from a manu- script autoblography: "in the spring of 1814 1 fell in com- pany with General Louis Gassaway at Annapolis, Md, then clerk of the dis- trict court, by whom 1 was faformed that in the Revolutionary war be was an nid-de-camp to Washington. I will let eral Gassaway relate the anec- dote himself: "'In the winter of 1779 and 1780, called the "hard winter," the American army went ioto- winter quarters at Morristown, N. J. General Washing- ton and his staff had their headquar- ters' at the farmhouse of one Gabriel Ford, a large and convenient estab- lishment. One severely .cold night, about 2 o'clock, there was an unusual bustle at headquarters. I lodged be- low ou the first floor and soon learned the cause of the stir. General Wash- ington ran to the bead of the stairs In his night dress with a pistol in each band and called to we to know the cause of the uproar. "+ 4A soldier on guard, sir, has been frozen at his post and brought into quarters." " "See that the poor fellow is well cared for and change the guard every hour," was the humane reply. " "To see a man six feet high in his night clothes with a pistol in each band for a slight alarm of the night guard bordered so near on the ludicroas that I vould not easily keep my equa- oimity to answer the great general of the American army with becoming re- spect.' "--Army and Navy Journal, TONE UP-THE BODY. - It Will Help to Fortify Your System Against Serious lliness, There is a saying, much wiser and cheaper than it seems at first glance, to the effect that "you won't get sick If you keep weil." It is a balf jesting way of setting forth a profound truth. The risks and exposures of life are. 80 many and so insidious that they cannot be escaped. The only hope of passing through them unharmed is to keep the body so strong and sound that it can defend itself against the diseases which are constantly lying in walt for the unguarded and the weak. It 1s a mere commonplace to say that ome man will take exactly the same course and face precisely the same risks that another man finds fatal and go entirely unscathed. Some- times it is a difference born in the two organisms, but often it is the result of different living and different condl- tions in respect to strength and health, If the body is maintained at a high state of efficiency and if care Is taken to overcome and correct the little dis- orders and signs of trouble as soon as they appear there is mot much danger of a serious fllness. The small pre- cautions and the constant toning up of the body by exercise, fresh air, sen- sible eating and drinking and absten- tion from all excesses and follies ward off prolonged and often desperate struggles agalnst disease. It is the principle of the old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine" The same rule applies to the care of health. ~Cleveland Leader. i The House of Lords. The house of lords was composed chigfly of clerics until the time of Bd- ward ITIL Thus in 1205 the peers were ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay members, including twenty archbish- ops and bishops, sixty-seven abbots and priors and three masters of or ders. Many clerical dignitaries sum- moned did not attend at Westminster, refusing to recognize the authority of parliament over their own convoca- tions of Canterbury and York. It was partly from this cause that the lords spiritual decreased in pumber until "GROTESQUE DANCES. a 'Yaqui Natives Wear Antlers and Jump Like Deer. Natives of the Yaqui region in Mex. fco make use of queer costumes in their dances, Seated on the ground around a fire, four good singers chant dialogues between the deer and other asimals and birds, such as the coyote, the jaguar, the wolf, the bear, the eagle. and the hawk Their music is made by beating with small sticks, saturated in blood and then dried, on "guegas" or || tightly stretched mats of plaited tule leaves. - os The dancer ties on his head the skin and borns of the head of a deer--which 1s often better than his own--and from his belt of deer hide hang wany deer hoofs, which rattle continuously as he goes through the steps. of the dance, In bis bands he carries two large rate ties, made of gourds partly filled with pebbles. These be also shakes to keep time to the music. The dancer tries to imitate, as far as possible, the movements of the deer. He shakes himself sideways and with his bands makes motions similar to those of the deer's long white tail as the animal goes running swiftly over the plain, leaping through the wun- derbrush or trying to free himself from the files which infest the valleys of the mountains. He whirls around, jumps and leaps straight up and down into the air. When we are least ex- pecting ft another pascola appears, wearing the bead of 4 coyote, a bear or a puma, chases the deer, tries to bite him, leap on his back or otherwise bear him to the ground, but the deer always escapes.~Cleveland Plain Deal er, COLONY OF THE CRAZED. A Belgian Town Where Insane Folks Are Whelly Unrestrained. In the year 600, according to leg- eed, a young Irish princess named Dymphne, seeking to escape from her: cruel father, traveled to the continent of Europe and in Belgium established herself in a' hut, where it was her misfortune to be discovered and mur dered by her parent. A temple was afterward built to the memory of the princess, faq it later became a refuge for the "sick in mind" Hits and houses were gradually built to accom- modate those who came until after many centuries it became the town of Gheel, known far and wide as the col- ony of the crazed. The remarkable thing about this Bel- gian town is that the residents accept patients into thelr own homes so that they may enjoy the beneficial effects of domestic and social intercourse. Nearly every house contains at least two mental incompetents;, and except in certain cases the patients are per mitted to go about town and enjoy themselves. A stranger may not know whether he is meeting a patient or a sane resident in bis walks through the town. For more than 100 years thls system has prevailed at Gheel. Attempts at suicide are few, the death rate among the unfortunates has averaged about 4 per cent during the past few years, while In England the rate has been 7 per cent for the past ten years. 'The pércentage of recoveries for twenty- five years has been almost double that in England.--New York World, Insect Curiosities. Insects do pot follow the rule ob- taining in higher life--that of a brief youth followed by a longer period of adult life. The May fly lives two years as a grub in a pond and then is grant: ed a life of but a few brief hours The dragon fly spends more time even than the May fly in seclusion and then is cut off after a few weeks of ex- istence. But the palm goes to that strangest of American insects, the ci- cada. Pestilent swarms of these sweep over the country for a few weeks--a veritable scourge to all whom {it visits, planting, the while, its eggs in the bark of trees. As grubs they crawl out and bury themselves In the soll at the roots of the trees, whence, in sixteen years, they issue as insects, having thus spent seventeen years in matur- ing. Tragedy In a Clock. Hogan was late at work several times and was advised to buy an alarm clock.

His Generosity In Becoming Recon ciled to His Father, Lord Dufferin used to teil the follow- | ing story about his mother and Dis | raeli: My mother was among the first of Disraeli's acquaintances to recognize his great ability, and she saw a great | deal of him when at Mrs. Norton's, | when he was a young man dbout town. She did not see very much of him after he had once entered upon his political career. Here, however, is a little anec- | dote- which is very characteristic and amusing. My mother had a great ad- | miration for the "Curiosities of Litera ture" and was anxious to make the ac: quaintance of Disraell's father, but there was a difficulty about this, as at the moment be was not on good terms with his father. However, he appeared one day with his father in tow. As sooh as they were both seated Disraeli turned around and, looking at his father as If he were 8 plece of ornamental china, sald to my mother: "Madam, I have brought | you my father. 1 have become recon ciled to my father on two conditions. | The first was that he should come to see you and the second that be should pay my debts." . The connection between fish eating during Lent and a strong navy may appear remote, but to Elizabethan statesmen it seemed very real and vi- tal. So much s¢ that every one should eat fish on every day of Lent, as well as on certain appointed days through. out the year, under penalty of a heavy fine. And the reasons set forth for this enactment made no mention of rell glous observance. It was simply stated v that the queen needed ships for the | defense of the realm, and as not only was the fishing industry "the chiefest | nurse for the bringing up of youth for shipping." but "great numbers of ships { be used therein, furnished with stuff | and men at all times in readiness for her majesty's service," the consump- tion of fish mast be enforced.--London | Chronicle. A Bill That Wasn't Paid. A medical man in France was asked to be present at a duel in his profes- sional capacity, He got up early, trav- eled some miles, "flamed" the swords | and ministered to his vilent, who was slightly wounded. When both honor and wound were healed he looked for his fees and sent in a bill for $10. The patient replied through his wife, who wrote: "I am told that between men there is a question of delicacy which forbids even the slightest appearance of trade in such a matter. Neither the | doctors nor the seconds are brought on the ground for money. If you persist in your claim I shall, to my great re- gret, be obliged to leave to others the duty of settling this fine point with you." Domestio Repartes. "You will remember," said she baughtily, "that you proposed to me four times before 1 consented to marry you. You wouldn't take no for an answer." "1 remember," he replied sadly.
