A GovERNoRsAlP BooMLer.


News comes from Rutland of the
beginnings of a governorship boom in
the interest of DR.. John \. Mead, mayor
of that youthful but ambitious city. The
boom is as yet only a young thing.
scarcely old enough to be interesting;
but it may grow. 1t is said to be con-
fined at present principally to the Howe
scale works. of which the mayor is the
business head. According to all ac-
counts, however, it is expected to
develop in size and strength, till it shall
become sky scraper and earth sweeper
second in vigor and effectiveness only to
gulf of Mexico cyclone. If the eX-
pectations of its Originators are realized,
so the story goes, the booming of this
now weaklng boomlet will be heard by
next June from Maidstone to Milton and
from Holland to Halifax, and such will
be the din of ii that not word in favor
of any other candidate can get a hear
ing.
But may be this is an untrue tale. set
agoing to keep some one else out of the
field. We expect to have more definite
news of it soon. We rather hope that it
is true. The mayor has large means and
is said to be liberal man, too, so that
he could, if he chose, carry on lively
canvass, and one that would offset
to an extent the effects of the financial
stringency, at least so far as the work
erS are concerned.

A LARGE CONTRACT.

One of series of letters asking con-
neighboring town. has been handed to
us. The scheme is that old one of call
ing upon the recipient of the letter to
send in certain amOunt-ten cents in
this case-and TO ask three Others to do
likewise, those three to repeat the per-
ormance and so on till % series of persons
shall have aided in forming the
''chain". The object of the fund
in question is TO repair church,
job that ought not to require a large
amount of money. But it does not
need IA great deal of figuring to show
that the amount which would accrue
from the "chain" scheme, if successfully
carried out, would not be small. The
Home Missionary has calculated the re-
suits from similar "chain' carried up
to 20, and has found that the returns
would reach the sum of S523, OH 500.
How much mOIe than this the brethren
of the Vermont church need to repair it
lhV9 w hoV say ; n"t IL lhclI Cudln
works they will have considerably more.
1t looks on the face of this showing as
if people needed to be very careful be-
fore they set such money-getting
machine in operation, and, further, as if
it were way of raising money that
should not be encouraged, even If the
donors, as in this instance, are requested
to ''dO il for Christ's sake"

Probably one of the most remarkable
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one Of the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing a sheep. Another man. passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for minute OF two. He had
been standing there but very short
time when a sharp crack Of thunder was
preceded by a binding fash Of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost ont OF
his senses by seeing the pony and ita
rider suddenly collapse In heap, but In
a second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening TO glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served It as It had
served the pony. The sheep was stone

The great decrease in the price Of

nearly everything that grows can bo

stalks, tobacco stalks, the stalks Of the
sugar cane, corn husks and sawdust that
used to cumber the ground are now
made into cigarette wrappers, water
pals, car wheels and even buildings for
temporary purposes. The once despisod
sawdust can be- used In still other ways.
From it can be extracted alcohol, acids
and dyes. The extraction Of dyes from

Below give five theories Of the origin
of the dollar mark CSl, they being select
ed from about 20 seemingly plausible
solutionsi
That it is a combination Of the "U. S. D" {"
the initials Of United States.
That it is modification Of the figure
8, the dollar being formerly called a
'piece Of eight"
That it is derived from representa-
ton Of the Pillars Of Hercules, consisting
Of two needleliks towers or pillars con
nected with a scroll The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred TO as "pillaI
dollars"
That It Is a combination Of oh. g., "
the ancient Roman mark OF money unit.
That it is 8 combination Of p. and s.
from peso duro, signifying "hard dol
lar" In Spanish accounts peso is con
tracted by writing the s. over the r.,
and placing Il over the sum.
According 20 one writer the symbol Of
the dollar Is a monogram Of the letters
~" IS" and -" the dollar being
originally a 'thaler" coined 40 the val
ley of SAINT Joachim, Bohemia, and
known as Joachim thalar," and the
monogram the initials OF the words.
