Evolution of Trade
Mark and Advertising
The* trade inurk was Invented dur
ing ti t tin?* of grand colonization. A
business house In Cathago Nova (Cur
tluigenu), which manufactured a de
licious fish sauce and sent it to all
purls of tin* world In hermetically
sealed pitchers, burnt nine stars Into
the containers. The nine stars were
the emblem of the sacred Hsh, the
dolphins. A big lump factory In the
ltoman Itlilnelund adorned all Its
lamps with the utensils of eye special
ists?which those people who used the
lamps should ever come to know!
Advertising, of course, grew more
and more luxurious. It wus a favorite
child of commerce In imperial Rome.
JtoKcns of the best painters and scul|>
iors worked for the wool kings, silk
houses, aud the big weapon fuctorles
w hich grew up like mushrooms where
ev?r the ltoman armies advanced.
People vied with one another in
erecting altars to the protectors of
trade und navigation; but on these al
tars they inscribed the names and
trade of the donors, as u menus of
advertising. The ltoman buslneus men
were ns though seized by a fever of
competition. Kurysaces, the pastry
king of Itome, used his own tomb as
an advertisement; his tombstone had
the form of enormous cako I?Ex

' Legend T races Hyacinth
to Sorrow of Apollo
The wild hyacinth was originally
found In (?reece and Aslu Minor. The
ancient Greeks had a story about its
origin to the effect that one day the
god Apollo was playing a game of
quoits with a young mortal, Ilyacln
thuH, of whom he was very fond, when
Zephyrus, the god of the west wind,
passed by. Zephyrus was jealous of
Apollo and blew the latter'? (pioit
aside, and caused It to strike Hyacin
th us and Inflict a mortal wound. In
his memory Apollo caused these beau
tiful and fragrant clustered blossoms
to spring from the fallen drops of the
youth's blood.
The hyacinth was brought to west
ern Europe In the Sixteenth century.
" and extensively cultivated by Dutch
horticulturists. The original blue and
purple blossoms were varied to nu
merous shades of pink, rose, yellow,
scarlet and pure white.?Kansas City

Wedding Season in India
Customs In India bring annually a
wedding season, marriages being prnc
tlcnlly unknown at other seasons. The
wedding bells there ring from summer
to late autumn, and the bride must
wear gold and silver trinkets and dec
orations. no tnnn being so poverty
stricken as to contemplate marriage
without making the silver nnd gold
presents. The metal must be Import
ed from other countries, and this year
there lias been sent from New York
to London for India more than
000 each of gold and silver.?Ohio

Plant Relations
Tf we throw a simple glance on
plants, we sbnll perceive that they
have relations to the element* which
promote their growth; that they have
relations to each other, from the

unceasing campaign in behalf of

the ono they had to beat, yet 1
have never heard of one word of
denunciation or derogatory re
mark made by them regarding: my

I have heard from their campaign
was in praise of myself, something
I have never heard o^ before in
