Every Man "Hls Own Doctor"

Many man who, if his horse or COW
is sick, sends at once for the veterinary
practitioner for ailments OF his own that
are on the face of them quite as serious
and rs much III need OF professional
treatment.
He will take the advice of an ignorant
neighbor Us TO what is 'good for" an i'll
ness, when he would laugh at the idea of
going to the same person for counsel in
any other business or concern whatever
In the days of our grandmothers, when
the household natcria D1Cdicd consisted
Of 'roots aud YARDS, with few simple
drugs like epson salts, this domestic or
clay prescribing was less dangerous
than in these latter days when concen
trated and powerful agents have become
so common and familiar.
The household remedies of the olden
time were rarely liable to d. much harm,
even if they did no good. The cure was
generally in reality left to nature, though
the "roots and YARDS" got the credit Of
it. But most OF the drugs Of our day
are not of this inert or negative charac-
ter, and the danger in Their use by the
ignorant is real aud serious danger.
The most powerful medicines that IN
professional people of a former genera.
ton ventured to fool with bore about the
same relation to those in vogue that gun
power does the nitro-glycerine; yet the
latter are used even more recklessly than
the former ever were. A little knowl-
edge is not always a dangerous thing,
but when it leads man to think that he
can doctor" himself, iii ailments of any
serious nature, the old and oftei-al used
proverh is indisputably true-Journai
of Chemistry.

THERE are number of theories for
the origin of the dollar mark. One is,
that it is a combination of U. s., the in
itials of the United States; another, that
it is modification of the figure 8, the
dollar being formerly called "piece of
eight, and designated by the character
8-8. The third theory is, that it is q
combination of II. S., the mark OF the
Roman unit, while fourth is, that it is
n combination of Z. snd S., from the
Spanish peso 6urO, which signifies
"hard dollar" In Spanish accounts,
peso is contracted by writing the S. over
p, and placing it after the sum. But
the best origin OF the sign is offered by
the editor of the London Whitehall
ReUie,O, who recently propounded the
question at a dinner. party in that city,
ut which the American Consul was pres
ent. AS nc one could tell, the editor
gave the following explanations: 1t is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
sign 10 to be found, of course, in the
associations of the Spanish dollar. We
Uttered the table with books i'll the course
of our researches, but l proved my point
in the end. On the reverse OF the Span
ish dollar is q representation of the Pill
ars of Hercules, and round each pillar is
a scroll, with the inscription, Plus

has degenerated into the sign which

rs Spanish dollars The scroll
around the pillars, L take it, represents
the two serpents sent by Juno to destroy

Postmaster.Generars Report.

Postmaster-General Howe In his annual ro-
port recommends that the postage on second
class matter DO abolished; that the ratio OF
postage on fourthclass matter DO Increased,
and in regard to the desire to reduce postage
on flrstclass mattor to two cents, says: "If
such reduction in rates would cause too great
shrinkage in revenues, would suggest that
that correspondence BIO cheapened almost as
much by another measure, much less costly TO
tho Treasury" He approves the plan OF sell
Ing stamped envelopes at tho cost OF stamps,
and says that tho revenue is seriously impaired
by stamps being removed and reused, which
could bo avoided by the exclusive use OF
stamped envelopes. Ho recommends the es-
tablishmont Of postal savings banks and tho
postal telegraph system. He invites the at.
lention OF Congress to the postal collection
system in vogue in Germany, whore small
bills are collected through postmastersi rec
ommends postal-notes for SO and under;
commends civil service IN tho Rail-
way Mail Division; states that ex-
pansion railroad system been greater dur.
Ing the past year than in any previous year.
He fayors the suggestion that box rents be
paid direct to the Government, and that tho
Government rent all postofllces and not post
masters, and that where practicable all post,
ollce buildings be erected by the Government
and no buildings rented or leased.

slight fro occurred In a residence on Pitt

An alarm OF IRE was sounded this morning
Mt IL no o'clock, caused by tho burning OF two
small frame houses at tho southwest intersec-

house was occupied by Mr.. j. Taylor as q

occupied by an old colOred woman. Both

was ignited by lying sparks, and
tho house was damaged TO the oXtont OF $500.
The furniture OF Mr. johnson was damaged
