Working people, above all other

when we have loose Sabbath usages
they will have to do one more dal ;,
work in each week, and will contin

thus forced to give seven days work

Origin of DOLLAR u

Chicago Tribune.)
Few persons have ever troubled
themselves to think of the derivation
Of the word dollar. IT is from the
German thai valley and came into
use IN this wav some 300 wears ago.
There Il q little silver-mining cltv
in Northern Bohemia called
Joacbimsthal, or JoachIm's Valley.
The reigning duke Of the region
authorized this citv in the sixteenth
centarv To coin a silver piece, which
was called "Joachimsthaler." tt Q
word "ioachim" was soon dropped
and the name "thaler" only remained.
The piece went into general use 10
Germany and Denmark. where the
orthographv was changed 10 "daler. >
whence if came into English ard
was adopted bv orr forefathers with
still further changes in the spelling.
The Mexican dollar is generally call
ed "plastre" in France and the nama
is sometimes applied TO our o~n
dollar The sppellation is incorrect
IN either case, for the wort Biaste-,
or Vias'ra, has for the lsst fftv yeare
been only applied with correctness "a

COLLEGE BOYS.
THEIR CHANCES IN BUSINESS
TWO VIEWS.
ATLANTA CONSTITUTIONS J


Andrew Carnegie'a assertion that
the college graduate "has not the
slightest chance of entering busI-
ness at twenty against the boy who
swept the office or began as shop
ping clerk at fourteen" is backed
by Henry Clews, who says: "The
| college man is not the successful
man III business affairs. | do not
employ them in my banking office.
None need apply, tor i think they
have been spoiled for business lfe."
This is very sweeping, bnt
Chauncey Depew, J. w. Alexander,
ofthe Equitable Life, Daniel Heald,
of the Home Insurance Company.
Seth Low, Brayton Ives, and other
business men take the opposite
view. / he Boston J0urncL comment
ing on the matter says:
"There can be named slxty-five
college graduates who mostly have
their headquarters in New York,
including fifteen prominent railroad
officials, eighteen bankers. ten
manufacturers, ten merchants,
seven heads of leading Insurance
companies, five heads of noted pub
fishing houses. Alexander Z. Stew
art, John Jacob Astor, Frederick
Billings and Levi {. II ade, may be
named among many others who
nave controlled large business al
fairs; also Charles +. Adams, Aus
tin COrbIn and President Bishop
! and Watrons, OF the New York, and
New Heaven railroad Joseph r.
Hawley, who managed the Phlla-
delphin centennial exposition, and
Senator Palmer, president OF the
wOrId's Columbian fair, are college
graduates, Despite toe remark OF
Horace Greeley that "0t all horned
cattle deliver me from a college
graduate the staff of The Trib-
une, taken altogether. quite bellies
his statement. SO does the staff of
any large newspaper today. Henry
j. Raymond, Gerard Hallock, Jas.
Brooks and ". G. Bryant, William
BroSs, Joseph Medill, George D.
Prentice and Henry " Grady may
be named among fifty prominent
Journalists who were college grad
yates. AS matter of fact, The
training OF the cellege-bred man
does not unfit him for beginning at
the bottom, like the boy who sweeps
the Office and fires the locomotive.
Channcey Depew says that hun
dreds have so begun within the last
five years in the various depart
ments of railway woTK, and such
soon outstrip the uneducated young
man"
The fact is, cellege man will be
successful in any line If he has it i'll
him to conquer success, and pre-
cisely the same thing may be SAID
of the man who never saw the in
side of college.
Success IN life is very largely the
result OF viii power, energetic
methods and knowledge. " it'll
these a man succeeds, whether pe
was educated at college Or picked
up his education by general reading
, and observation out IN the world.
The right sort of youngster wall
make his training and knowledge
acquired at college an advantage to
him in business or professional life
and a young man of the same STAMP
who never went to college Will IL
: some way get the substantial pOint>
of the mental equipment enjoyed b.!
the other.
This is the reasonable view o.
this veXed question.
