Arb0r Day.

In accordance with the recommendation
of Governor Jackson Arbor Day was cele-
braled, on wednesday, April 10'h, for the
first time in Maryland The weather was all
that could be desired The sun was bright,
the air was mili-all nature, in short, smiled
approval of the effort to repair her waste
places. 1t was a wise forethought which en-.
trusted to our public schools the duty of be-
ginning and perpetuating tie beautiful and
salutary custom of tree.planting in our State.
There are in Hartford county nearly one
hundred schools, and it may safely be esti-
mated that the children of these schools
planted, on Wednesday, at least five hundred
trees. If this number of trees Is judiciousy
planted every year, in addition to those
which may be planted by others than the
school children, it will go great way towards
replenishing the annual destruction of our
timber, besides identifying our county.
The advantage of Arbor Day, too, is not
confined to the fact that it provides for sys-
tematic planting of trees at specified time,
but in the stimulus ii gives to the several
thousand children in our county schools to
learn something about the habits and cult
walton of trees and shrubbery-all of which
10 pleasant as well as useful knowledge.
In Europe special schools of forestry exist
where pupils are given a thorough theoreti-
cal and practical instruction in woodcraft
Especially is this the case in Germany, where
the culture of forests is conducted on more
scientific basis than in any other country.
Some OF these forests belong to the govern
ment and are as carefully kept as gardens
Happily, in our newer country the waste of
timber and the destruction of foresta, while
enormous, have not yet produced scarcity,
but it is well to begin in time TO repair the
waste and to turn the attention Of the rising
generation to the subject.
Arbor Day was celebrated in all of our
schools with pleasant literary exercises ap-
propriate to the occasion. The children sang
songs, recited quotations extolling the beau
ty and usefulness of trees, and planted trees
on the school grounds or along the road
sides. 1t is good custom, the Inauguration
of which We welcome with delight and hope
the day will be forever perpetuated.

fore the expiration of President Cleyeland's
term petition was presented to the Postotilce
Department by Col. Herman Stump for a post
office at Line Bridge. The petition was grant
ed and Mr.. Hugh Doo!ey was appointed post
master He forwarded his bond, but before
the office was established President Harrison
came in and Mr.. Dooley's and o her similar ap-
pointments were "held up" until an investiga-
ton could be made. A petition was also pre-
scented for mail route from Prospect by way
of Deep Run to Line Bridge, but as the post
office was not established at Line Bridge this
petition was not granted. 1t ISL now proposed
that route be made from Conowingo Bhage
bywa Of Castlcton and suSauehanua Hall to
Slate Hill, with postotHce at or near Susque-

ested agree among themselves upon the most
convenient point for the postoflice, after which
there will be no trouble, Col. Stump thinks, in
securing it. The only difficulty in the way, it
is said, is to find good Republican for post

Origin OF the Dollar,

The word dollar was in our language at
least 800 years ago 1t was used by Shake
speare several times. This was in the latter
part of the Sixteenth century. 1t is supposed
that the word was at that time in familiar
use in London, having been brought in by the
North German merchants, who managed the
trade on the Baltic and in Russia
Dollar appears first in an English dictionary
In l745. 1t is borrowed word being the
German ''thaler." 1t is derived from "thal, -
our word dale, or valley; and it means a
daler, or one coming from a valley. The
coins issued by the mint i'll Joachimsthal were
called observation-disclosures When other mints
were established ths ''Joachims" was dropped
and the coins were called simply ''thalers"
The dollar was adopted by congress as the
unit of our currency Aug. s, 1885. 1t was to
contain 1851 GA grains of pure silver; but when
the mint was established, In 1902, the require
ment was reduced to 37l.25 grains of pure
silver. The coinage Of dollars began in 1894
Our dollar was an adaptation of tho Span
ish milled dollar, which had been in circula-
ton here from before the revolution. 1t will
be understood that the dollar was described
as milled one from the circumstance OF its
having the rim notched just as our present
coins are notched- Tho practice of notching
the rim was adopted to prevent the clippers
OF coin reducing its size by taking off shaw
ing all around, as they used to do with Eng
lish coins. All American gold and silver
coins are milled.
In the case Of nickel and copper coins the
metal is not valuable enough to prove a
temptation to the clippers, SO the edges of
these coins are not milled youths Com

ROLLER SKATING.
Something of u Fad which Had a Brief
but Brilliant Reign.


II comprehensive history of American
sports Is ever written, one of the most inter-
esting chapters of the work will be that de-
voted to the marvellous story of the rise and
fall in popular favor OF roller skating. No
pastime ever won its way into the good
graces of the public with greater rapidity,
and when the furor of enthusiasm with which
the masses greeted the new diversion and the
unhagging devotion of its disciples il consid-
cred, it cannot be denied that its short lived
reign, its decadence and almost total extinc-
tion in America is no less astounding than its
wonderful and sudden popularity
The idea of popularizing the old time sport
Of parlor skating by offering the public the
opportunity Of indulging in that pastime
In commodious aud palatial quarters at a
reasonable rate was a novel and attractive
scheme. The English originator of the plan
opened the first rink in London about twenty
years ago. The enterprise was successful,
and proved veritable gold mine to its pro-
Jector, and instantly myriad of Kinks
sprang up In all the larger cities Of Great
Britain. Many of these made money for the
proprietors, but for a short time only The
feverish interest In skating was shortly sue
ceeded by general apathy on the part of
the public which resulted in deserted Kinks
and bankrupt managers.
1t was reserved to a wids awake Boston
gentleman to bring about i'm our western
world a renaissance Of the pastime In 1888
Mr.. c. NJ. Raymond, of this CITY, opened
here in the Mechanics building the first rink
ever started on this continent The venture
was successful beyond his most sanguine an
ticipations. Bostonians, ever ready to take
up a new fad hocked to the rink night and
day, and the city rang with the praises of the
fascinating sport Kinks multiplied, and the
contasion OF enthusiasm for the pastime
spread rapidly throughout the country. In
three years S53, 900 900 was invested in roller
skating throughout the United States and
two men in the patent office at Washington
did nothing else but pass patents on roller
skates and improvements Then the reaction
set in.
The sport and its associations were decried
In certain circles, and a vigorous crusade in
augurated against it. The consequent speedy
decline is fresh in the mind of the reader.
With the falling away Of patronage the rinks
were closed, and the skates, which were sold
for fancy prices, were put on the market be-
low cost. Even then they found no purchas-
ers other than the occasional small boy bent
on risking life and limb on the uneven pave
ment Of the city street. 1T would appear
that roller skating as popular sport was
dead beyond resurrection. Whether the
sport will ever again win its way to the
hearts of Americans is mooted question, but
in distant quarter of the globe the pastime
lives and fourishes as it never did here At
the present time the roller skating craze is at
white heat throughout Australia. The peo-
pile of that island continent have taken up our
discarded fad and breathed new life into it.

Couldn't Catch Hines.

A st, Paul gentleman tells of lawyer by
the name of Hines who once had the reputa-
ton of being the most artistic and prolific
liar in the United States. Whenever Hines
visited friend, the friend would say, Now,
Hines, sit down and tell US a lie" The
lawyer would always vehemently protest
that he was as little addicted to lying as was
the father Of his country But in a few
moments be would begin to talk, and when
he began to talk he invariably began to de-
velop a remarkable talent for lying One
time in a company Of gentlemen of which
the st. Paul man was one he solemnly stated
that an old SOW that he kept on his premises
had just given birth to litter Of twenty
three pigs. This was too much for any Of
them to believe, and they expressed their
doubts as to the veracity of his statement.
Still he stuck to it. Finally says one Of the
party: Come, Hines, Well 60 over to your
house with you and take q look at that litter
Of twenty-three pigs" "Oh," says Hines, II
haven't got them now; knew the old SOW
couldn't take care Of such a large family, and
SO killed them all but SIX" He wasn't the
kind of liar that could be caught in that
way.--St Paul Pioneer Press-
