The Word Dollar. ;,
THE END.

Our word dollar dates back to 1885,
when resolution was passed by CON
gress which provided that it should be
the unit of moneys in the United
States. Another resolution was pass
ed in 1855, August 5, providing that
it should weigh 375.64 grains OF pure
silver. The mint was established in
1921, and then required to coin silver
dollars containing 37l.25 grains pure
silver. This was due TO the efforts OF
Aleyande Hamilton. No dollars were
coined until 1894, and then irregular
They are now worth 800 each. In
1894 the coinage OF regular dollars
began. Our coin was an adaptation OF
the Spanish milled dollar, coin very
popular wherever the Spaniards tray
eled. The coin was called ..piastre, =
meaning fiat piece Of metal: it is
synonymous with plaster. 1t is sup
posed that the Spaniards took the
German, .thaler" and called il by
the name of 'piaster." The word
dollar is entered in Bailey's English
dictionary in 1915, and was used re-
paatedly by Shakespeare at the begin
ming OF the seventeenth century, es-
pecially in Macbeth ii: 2. 81: It'll
she disbursed $4,000 to
our general use" (Seo also the
Tempest ii: /, ~
The question where SHAKESPEARE found
the word dollar is answered by the
fact that the Hanseatic towns
maintained great establishment
called the Steel Yard in Lon
don. The Steel Yard merchants
were mostly North Germans. who
would call the German thalcr
as it was spelled dah-ler."
The same merchants originated the
word sterling, an Authorization Of the
.'esterling" As the Hanseatic trade
was particularly brisk on the Baltic
and in Russia the standard coins Of
the Hanse merchants were called
esterlings, and sterling came to mean
something genuine and desirable. The
word dollar is the English for thaler,
the first of which was coined about
1885, and corresponds quite closely TO
our present American silver dollars.
The word thaler means coming from a
dale or valley, the first dollar having
been coined in a Bohemian valley f,
called Jaachimsthal. 1t was under
Charles ", emperor Of Germany, King
of Spain and lord of Spanish America,
that the German thaler became the |
coin of the rld.-The Financier.

was great unshed ears in the eyes
which she raised to Austen's face.
"Oh, what can l say!' she said
piteously, 'It is so hard to refuse
you; and yet they want me so badly
here"
but / want you too. my Tessa,N
Austen pleaded tenderly. ''Antony

II will come, since you want me so
much-I will conner she cried; and
Austen bent and kissed the sweet pale
face.
So Tessa came back to the Hall
again came back to be, as of old, the
brightness and sunshine OF Austen's
life. Yet not quite as of old either.
The gay light-hearted Tessa, whose
trust and faith in her lover had once
been so boundless, had vanished, and
in her place was sadder, wiser wom-
an. who had suffered wrong and in
justice, and learnt doubt and mistrust
from both.
Mrs. Calender. who removed from
the Hall after her brothers marriage,
to house nearer the town, much APP
proves of the change in Tessa; and
Austen, even while he grieves over the
loss of the old bright gaiety, loves
better still the sweet seriousness
which has come in its stead. Only
sometimes, as he watches his wife
romping in the garden with her emil
dren, he fancies that he catches
glimpse Of the old light-hearted
TesSa.
Some one else looks on and watches
as well as Austen. The old intimacy
between the Priory and the Hall has
been resumed; and in the rooms where
the poor mad lady moaned over her
lost child the voices of Tessa's chill
dren make sweet music in the ears OF
the man whose life, though lonely, is
far from being unhappy. Noel was
always patient and unselfish, and, see
ing Tessa happy and contented. he is,
after fashion, happy too.

They Lost a. Fortnna

There are two little girls in Toccoa.
Ca, who are related, on their fathers
side, to ex-Gov. Fenton Of New York; ex-
President Grover Cleveland, Gov. Hill,
Mr.. Fargo, of Wells, Fargo & Co. Of
Chicago, and, on their mothers side,
to ex-President Jefferson Davis. They
can trace their Holland ancestry back
to wealthy nobleman named Weber.
He left will which bequeathed $780,
100000 to be held in trust 200 years,
and then to be divided among
his descendants who should. at the
expiration of that time, be living,
and, in addition, plate and Jewels
valued at $4,000, 900 to be likewise
divided in the same way. Ten years
were, by the terms Of the will, to be
added to the 200, during which time
the heirs were to be hunted up and, If
they were found, the vast sum, plate
and jewels, were to be equally divided
between them. If all could not be
found, this great wealth was to 90 to
the crown Of Holland. IL so happened
that one Of the heirs was captain and
he could not be found, though most
diligent and anxious seach was made
for him. Ten years flew swiftly by
and brought no tidings of the lost
captain, though he was the necessary
link in the chain that connected the
heirs to the great treasure. He was
never found and SO the treasure was
turned over to Hollands king and
queen and these little Toccoa ladies
will never get their share.

CLERKS roR coxGREssMEx.

Nearly every year when the appro-
p.ialon bill comes up in the House for
discussion there is more or less talk
about giving each member clerk at
the expense of the government. The
Senators are already allowed the per-
ouisite, and when the bill came up in
the House Wednesday, motion was
made to strike out the paragraph al
lowing each Senator clerk.
Upon this subject Mr.. BUrTERwoRTH
Of Ohio, made some very pertinent and
sensible remarks. He said that nine
out of every ten members of the House
were just wild to have clerk and that
lit were not for the yea and nay vote
they would have them. When the roll
was called, however, the members
would 60 out Oh dress parade and vote
against the measure. He also said
that If he were allowed clerk so that
he could discontinue tramping through
the departments, he would be worth
10000 year to his constituents.
The members ought to be allowed q
clerk. They deserve them as much as
the Senators, aud it is only a false idea
OF economy that prevents them from
obtaining them.

CONTRACT LABOR.

Consul General New is authority for
the statement that London papers will
never publish advertisements OF Anaeri-
can firms fer foreign labor again. They
are afraid, it is said, OF the law holding
them responsible for the wages OF the
laborers who might bs left destitute in
strange land.
The contract labor law ought not to
be violated and yet there is very little
doubt that it is violated and frequently
violated under various subterluges.
So long as the law remains On the
statute books, it ought to be enforced,
American labor should have its full
beneft. If American labor receives
no benefit from it-but it Goes receive
