When my little girl was one month old, she
had scab form on her face. It kept spreading
until she was completely covered from head to
foot Then she had boiis. She had forty on her
head at one time and more on her body. When
six months old she did not weigh seven pounds,
a pound and half less than at birth. Then her
skin started to dry up and got SO bad she could
not shut her eyes to sleep, but lay with them
half open. About this time, started using the
CUTICuRA REMEDIES, and in one month she aods
conapletelg cured. The doctor and drug bills
were over one hundred dollars, the CUTIcURA
bill was not more than fge dollars. My child

Base Ball Notes.

The Fountain Field club made very
unwise move in accepting challenge to
play Preston at Paynesville the 2lst ult.
Some OF their best players were off at
Elizabethtown attending game be-
tween the Elizabethtown's and Meade
county club, the latter Of which they
had become members, taking the
pledge" at Ekron the II.
But our boys always eager for .un and
practice mustered up the r, quired num-
Der by enrolling "tender feet" whose
hands were as soft as eider-down, and
whose courage would rise and fall with
the velocity of the ball, failing when
they would see a red hot ball coming at
'em, and rising when it had passed safely
by put on bold front and stood before
the galaxy selected from three clubs,
namely, Preston, Union Star and Mooley-
vile. Fountain Fields made a splendid
start, but Gabe Board, pitcher, got struck
not by ball, but by "some one" outside
Of the game and retired to the field
where he would have more time to feast
his eager eyes. He complained Of being
sick-all out Of whack, the symptoms
were such as to justify me in diagnosing
the case as above.
He pitched three innings and when he
left the box the score stood 3 to 5 in
favor OF Fountain Fields.
When Gabe retired from the box it
seemed as II an Achilles had withdrawn
his powers, luck took its flight, Henry
Shacklett taking his place in the box,
pitched one inning but being "off his
feed" and in no condition for work, re-
tired while the score stood to IA $50 l

0rigion of the Dollar-Mark-FIve
Theories.

Below are given five theories of the
origin of the dollar-mark ($), they being
selected from about twenty seemingly
plausible solutions;
l. That it is a combination OF "U. S."
the initials Of the United States.
2. That it is a me dification ofthe figure
8, the dollar being formerly called a
"piece OF eight"
3. That it is derived from a representa-
ton of the pillars OF Hercules, consisting
of two needle-likes towers or pillars
connected with scroll. The old Span
ish coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred to as "pillar
dollars"
4. That it is combination of III. S."
the ancient Roman mark of money unit.
5. That it is combination Of p and S,
from peso duro, signifying "hard dollar"
In Spanish accounts, peso is contracted
by writing the S over the P, and placing
it after the sum.
According go one writer, the symbol of
the dollar is monogram of the letters
"V," as" and ~" the dollar being
originally "thaler," coined in the val
ley Of Sankt Joachim, Bohemia, and
known as "Joachims thaler," and the
monogram the initials OF the words,
"Valley Sankt Joachim"
writer in giving his opinion of
"Reason No. B." as given above, says;
"The American symbol for dollar is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
origin of the sign, of course, must be
looked for in associations of Spanish
coins. On the reverse OF the Spanish
dollar is representation OF the pillars of
Hercules, and around each pillar is
scroll with the inscription plus ultra
This device, in course OF time, has de-
into the sign which at present
stands for American as we'll as Spanish
dollars, g. The scroll around the pill
lars represents the two serpents sent by
Juno to destroy Hercules in his cradle,
