stand, and stretches away again in vast
level expanse, covered with large trees
that at a distance look like grass or
small shrubs.
The most interesting section of the
canyon is that portion of it right along
here, stretching either way five or SIX
miles. 1t is, of course, understood that
the canyon is not clean and unob-
structed cavity. There are mountains
and mesas down in its depths. There
are tremendous cliffs, sloping walls and
then again cliffs. Buttes and pillars
are scattered all around, some of them
worn in fantastic shapes by the waters
that have flowed down for ages upon
ages. The wonderful labyrinth of these
forms enchains the attention for hours at
time, as the sun is continually shifting
the shadows, bringing out new shapes
and colorlngs and obliterating others that
at first seemed very beautiful. The strata
are everywhere distinct, and in many of
the pyramidal and battlemented forms
in which the formations have been worn
they are cut as sharply as the modern
new buildings in which several materials
enter, and are not unlike them in many
respects. Away down, plowing through
q bed of granite, flows the turbid Colo
RADIO. Glimpses of it are seen at inter-
walls as it emerges from behind partlcu-
larly abrupt cliffs. 1t looks to be twenty
feet wide, but is 300, and in many places

sixth as deep.
The best view of the canyon to obtain
an idea of its vastness aud its beauties of
shapes and colorings is obtained from
s'the RIM" You may traverse it by easy
walking or horse can be ridden up to
the brink at almost any point. The wall
is indented and the various points that
jut out afford opportunity for varied
views in all directions. Some of these
points are overhaneing rocks from which
the walls fall away perpendicularly good
half-mile. Point Bissell, the easternmost
point that is generally visited by tourists,
Is perhaps the highest and most COM
manding.
Those who are not satisfied with view
ing the glories of the canyon from "the
rim'' may 60 down into its depth by
Hance's trail. This is seven miles down
to the river. Most of the way is readily
traversed by all who are willing to en-
dure the fatigue, and even burros packed
with loads of 200 pounds each are taken
down. But the last mile and half is
precipitous, and for some of the distance
rope ladders are necessary to overcome
perpendicular cliffs. The trip down to
the river and back cannot be made readily
in one day, and parties who undertake it
usually camp in the canyon over night.
Many women make the trip. Very often
they discard their skirts and attire them
selves in bloomer style of trousers, the
better to Chamber about the rocks and
abrupt trails.

That's what is promised you, no
matter how bad your case or of how
long standing, by the proprietors Of
Dr.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Catarrh can be cured. Not with
the poisonous, irritating snuffs and
strong, caustic solutions, that simply
palliate for time, or perhaps, drive
the disease to the lungs-but with
DR.. Sage's Remedy:
The worst cases yield to its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing prop

Headache, and all the effects of Ca
ta,rh in the 4ead-such as offen-
sive breath, loss or impairment of
the senses of taste, smell and hear
ing, watering OF weak eyes-are at
once relieved and cured.
In thousands of cases, where ev-
erything else has failed, DR.. Sage's
Remedy has produced perfect and
permanent cures. That gives its
proprietors faith to make the offer.
It's $500, or a cure. They mean
to pay you, if they can't cure you.

they can.

Derivation Of "DOllar"

Few persons have ever troubled them.
selves to think of the derivation of the
word dollar. 1t is from the German
thai (valleyl and came into use in this
way some 300 years ago. Tnere is lit
tie silver-mining city or district in north
ern Bohemia called Joachimsthal, or
Joachim's Valley. The reigning Duke
of the region authorized this city in the
sixteenth century to coin silver piece
which was called "Joachimthaler." The
word "joachim" was soon dropped, and
the name "thaler" only retained. The
piece went into general use in Germany
and Denmark, where the orthograpkY
was changed to "daler," whence it came
into English, and was adopted by the
Americans with still fulther changes in
the spelling. The Mexican dollar is
generally called "piastre" in France, and
the name Is sometimes applied to the
United States dollar. The appellation
is incorrect in either case, for the word
plaster or piastre has for the last fifty
years been only applied with correctness
to small silver coin used in Turkey or
Egypt, which is worth from five to eight
cents Boston Cultiyator.

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS.

For boiling asparagus, the vessel
should be deep enough to hold the bunch
standing upright. 1t need not be filled
to the top with water, for the reason
that when closely covered, the steam will
cook the tender tips in highly satlsfac-
tory way. If the asparagus is fresh and
fine, fifteen minutes is long enough to
boil it. When done it should be lifted
carefully, the strings removed, and the
vegetable sent to table with nicely drawn
butter served in boat.
Apropos of asparagus, it is sometimes
painful to witness the efforts of some
people to eat this toothsome vegetable.
Those who attempt the use of knife and
fork are doomed to gastronomic disap-
pointment. It refuses to be dallied with
except with the fingers. Each stalk
should be lifted daintily, its head dipped
in the sauce, and conveyed to the
mouth with all the grace that thu cir
cumstances of the case will allow. Not
withstanding all this, however, the man
who can eat macarroni AMI asparagus
elegantly, is the exception rather than
the rule. It is an art that must be
studied, but the accomplishment is we'll
worth the trouble of learning.
The succulent lettuce leaf has also to
submit to many indignities in unskilled
hands. 1t amounts to a positive sin to
cut lettuce. You might as we'll slash
away at violets or rose leaves. The del.
icate leaf in its pale green asthetic
beauty should be taken up with half
caress, broken daiutily and eaten from
the fingers. To profane it with touch
of knife and fork is barbarism.-New
York News.

pie were so narrow minded as to madly
worship black bull. There was some
discrimination, however, even in this
form of worship. In order to be an ob-
ject of mad alteration it was necessary
that. the bull calf be born with circular
white spot in the exact center of his FORE
head, and the advent of such creature
in any herd was signal for wild demon
strations from the Mediterranean to the
borders of the Lybian Desert. Even as
late as the time of Cleopatra, "star-eYed
goddess, glorious sorceress of the Nile"
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal. Herodotus tells of a man Uho
died with grief because he sole cow

white circle in his forehead.-St. Louis

considered greater than they really are.
At any rate, the number of people who
visited the canyon last year from Flag
staff is registered as 16S, which includes
a party of scientists numbering forty.
and which is nearly double that of any
previous year.
From the time Powell first published
accounts of his trip down through the
canyon until the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad was completed, some ten years
ago, it is safe to say that not LOO white
men ever saw the Grand canyon. The
number is gradually increasing now,
however, and with the establishment of
a stage line and hotel accommodations
en- route and at the point of destination,
it may be expected that the Grand can
yon will very soon become as much a
Mecca to the tourist as the Yosemite
nee is.
The road from Flagstaff is very ex-
cellent one, beng practically level. The
scenery is varied, and the ride one that
is in every way enjoyable. For the first
twenty and last fifteen miles it lies
through the remarkable pine forests to
be found only in Arizona. The trees
grow straight and trim, and there is d
total absence of underbrush, as though
it had all been carefully cleared away.
The altitude of Flagstaff is 1000 feet,
and that at the canyon is perhaps a
thousand feet more, so that the climate
is cool and delightful even in mid
summer.
There are many interesting features of
scenery en- route. There are the San
Francisco Mountains, perpetually covered
with snow, which are always in sight.
There is also Sunset Mountain, whose
summit always looks as though the sun
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1892-08-03

were casting Its last lingering rays upon
its top, though the time may be high
noon. There are openings and mesas
that suggest the old pastures and farms
of the Eastern States to the extent that
you are apt to look about for farm
house and barns; yet the almost total
absence of water renders it all unin-
habitable except to sheepherders aud
cattlemen.
The Flagstaff road terminates at one
of the most interesting points on the
Grand canyon. The immediate vicinity
of the canyon is locally referred to as
''the RIM" The Flagstaff road ends at
Hance's cabin, perhaps 100 yards from
the edge of the cliff. But what is re-
markable about it is that there are no
signs of the astonishing wonder as you
approach. The country stretches away
in an expanse that is practically level,
covered with smallish pine and cedars,
and in no respect does it change as you
approach the canyon. Within mile of
the terminus the road makes gradual
descent, and when within 100 yards of
the precipice it rises sharply again. and
then the grand canyon in all its tremend-
Gus grandeur comes suddenly in sight,
almost as stereopticon view is flashed
upon a screen. The effect is something
totally indescribable. You are not pre-
pared for such an amazing sight. The
country you have traversed has not
changed its characteristics in the least
until you come almost like a flash upon
the brink of this awful cavity that breaks
sheer away mile and quarter deep
and is eighteen miles wide. Away in the
blue distance the north bank resumes the
characteristics of that on which you

Cost of Paper Money.

At the request of Senator PETER the
exact cost of making paper money has
recently been carefully figured out at the
Treasury Department. The calculation
is based on the actual cost of printing
for ten months, the cost Of paper, the
clerical labor of handling, and the ex-
pressage to the points OF issue. The cost
per note amounts to 1.56 cents. The
notes average value of $3.50, making
the cost 3.2 mills on the dollar. New
