Courtesy, Among the Swedes.

The Swedes are quiet, taciturn peo-
pie. There is no jostling even among
the lowest classes. When train leaves
a platform or a steamboat pier, the
lockers on lift their hats to the depart
ing passengers and bow to them, a COM
pliment which is returned by the pas
sengers. You are expected to lift your
hat to the shabbiest person you meet in
the street, and to enter shop, Office or

breach of good manners. In retiring

lifting is SO common that the people
seem to move around more slowly than

tesy.-F. II. Stauffer in Kate Fields

How Did the Dollar Mark oririuateq

Below l give five theories of the origin
Of the dollar mark 81, they being select
I'd from about 90 seemingly plausible
solutions:
That it is a combination of the ''U. S., :"
the initials of United States.
That it is a modification of the figure
s, the dollar being formerly called a
piece of eight"
That it is derived from representa-
ton of the Pillars of Hercules, consisting
of two needlelike towers or pillars CON
nected with a scroll. The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred to as pillar
dollars"
That it is Il combination of n. So
the ancient Roman mark of money unit.
That 1t is "a combination of p and 5.
from peso duro, signifying hard dol
lar" In Spanish accounts peso is cona
tracted by writing the s. over the P,
and placing it over the sum.

the dollar is a monogram of the letters

Effect of a Sentimental Song.

Mr.. Whitehead is a tinsmith IN
Weaverville. His wife's name is Ann.
and Ann and the tinsmith have never
got along very well together. Mrs.
Martin and Mrs. Whitehead, so the
story goes, became quite chummy. There
was piano in the tinsmith's house. and
Mrs. Martin was in the habit of playing
The Old Oaken Bucket" The man of
solder rather liked it at first. But when
Mrs. Martin continued to thrum out the
same tune day after day it got kind of
tiresome. He demonstrated with Ann,
but the wife told him to mind his pots
and kettles and not to NEEDLE with
music.
One day the tinslnith lost all patience
and went up stairs. and after dancing q
jig on the keys wound up by smashing
the instrument all to pieces, ending the
performance by remarking, ITO -

They Only Knew Agassiz.

In 1858 party consisting of Lowell,
Emerson, Agassiz, Judge Hoar, w. ],
Stillman and several others spent q few
weeks of the summer in the Adiron-
dacks
The journey of the company gave rise
to an incident which has often been in
correctly told, and which, as a curious
comment upon human fame, deserves to
| be told again. The coming of the party
was of course made known along the
track it would follow. and at Reese
vile, where the common, roads then
ended, the town was agog to see the
philosophers" as they were at once
collectively called. But neither Emer-
son nor Lowell was known, Agassiz be-
ing the only celebrity to that world, ow-
ing to his having recently refused the
offer by the emperor of France of the
keepership of the Jardin DIES Plantes at
Paris and senatorship with large sal
airy, he preferring to devote himself to
science and America
The selectmen of the town waited on
the visitors early in the morning after
their arrival to pay their respects, they
SAID, but really to see a man who had
no regard for money and distinction.
They were received formally, the spokes-
man bringing a copy OF a periodical
which contained portrait of Agassiz,
which he produced and carefully com
pared with the lineaments of the pro-
fessor until he had satisfied himself of
the authenticity of the individual, when
he addressed his followers with, Yes,
it's him.! And they then proceeded to
shake hands with him, the rest of the
:arty being ignored.-W. j. Stillman in
Century.
