THE WHY OP IT. l(eaou Fur the Exltmoe of Two Fa miliar Object. We all know that a wooden Indian is But up In front of a cigar or tobacco sCore, three balls at a pawnbroker's door and a striped jwlo immovably fixed rtotnewhero near to th entrance to a barbers shop, says the St. Imi'ih Kopublic. Hut why? Antiquarians tull us that the wooden Indian is a tobacco sign, because to bacco i an American weed and that it was originally used by tho Indians, it tit the samo antiquarian gets tangled occasionally and tells you that tobacco has been in uso for over 8,000 years among the Chinese. Mcyen. in hts "Geography of Plants," la of the opin ion that the smoking of tobacco is of great antiquity among the Chineso, be cause ho has observed carvings of to bacco pipes upon monuments whose ages run back into the thousands of years, and thoy are exactly like the Celvsttal tobacco pipe to-day, too. If this Is a fact it would bo much mora appropriate to use the figure of a Chi naman In place of the wooden Indian now used by dealers in the "filthy weed." Three reasons are given to account for the origin of the pawnbroker's fcign. One says that tho balls are used because they were the emblems of St. Nicholas, who is said to have given three purses of gold to three virgin ulsters to enable thorn to marry. An other legend attributes the use of the three balls to the members of the Lom-1 bard amlly, the first great money lenders of England. They were drug gists before they became capitalists, and used the three goldeu pills in memory of their calling. Still another story attributes their .original use to tho Modicl family of Franco. Tho Med Ids were money-lenders, who used the three pills as a pun on their mod-kal-sounding name. Last, but not least, tho barbers of long ago were barber-surgeons, but the rapid advance of surgical science has caused them to fall from their high estate. The gilt knob at the end of the barber polo of to-day represents h brass basin, which but a few decades since was actually suspended from the pole. The basin had a notch cut in it to fit the throat and was used in lath ering tho customer, preparatory to shaving him. The pole represents the staff held by the patient who came to the barber-surgeon to bo bled. The two spiral stripes paluted around It signify the two bandages, one for twisting around the arm previous to the act of phlebotomy, or blood-lotting, the other for binding when the opera tion was completed. fin HOLIDAY iOODS.
