Origin of the Dollar Mark.

A writer in the Atlantic lionfhly
has curious paper on the origin OF
the dollar symbol (S). In brief, his
theory is that the two parallel upright
marks may be traced back I'd the piI.

is the scroll entwined around them
According to tradition, when the Ty.
rain colony landed on the Atlantic
coast of Spain, and founded the an

and silver, and these two pillars be.

ago. Centuries later, when Charles
V. became Emperor of Germany, he
adopted new coat OF arms, in which
the pillars Of Gades or Cadiz, occupied
a prominent position in the Device
Hence, when new coin, the colon.

with a scroll entwined around them
This coin became standard of value
in the Mediterranean, and tho pillars

in writing.
The two horizontal bars which cross
the symbol of the English pound ster
ling are also thought to have similar
origin. In tho same paper the sym.
bolic origin of the pillars of Hercules
is traced far back into the remote era
prior to the dispersion of tho human
race from its Asiatc birthplace. They
are identified with the household piI.

rom which the concrete embodments

An Old-FaShioned Mother.

Some time ago Mrs. Buckleby who
lives over in BeTien county, Mich,
directed her son Samuel, a lad of
fourteen years, 10 take turn at the
churn. Now, as Samuel had set his
heart on going a-fshing at that very
time, be "got his back up" and fatty
refused TO ngitate the cream. The
curvature was promptly taken out of
his spine by a slipper, and, with "tears
IN bis eyes" he went on duty with
the dasher. In about half an hour,
and during the brief absence of his
mother, his eyes fell npon plate of
fly poison, and a bright smart thought
struck him. Just before Mrs. B. came
in, Samuel lifted the fatal platter to
his face, and as she entered he put the
poison IRON his lips with the dramatic
exclamation "There, mother, guess
you won't lick me no more !" Now
what did this Spartan dame do f? Did
she shrek for doctor, and fall into
hysteriesy Not much. She simply
took Samuel by the nape Of the neck,
lifted him deftly into the pantry, beat
the whites of six eggs together, and
told him to engulf the same instantly;
be refusing, she called the hired girl.
and in a twinkling Sam found himself
outside the albumen. Then Mrs. b.
began preparing a mustard emetic.

he stern mother was not to be soft

mustard. He was then forced to take

Then he vomited up every thing but

State Arbitrators,

OF the points of the boundary. but IL

the Marylanders insist that il was
