How Did the Dollar Mark Originate.

Below give five theories of the origin
of the dollar mark (S), they being select
ed from about 20 seemingly plausible
solutions:
That it is combination of the ~. S, !"
the initials of United States.
That it is a modification of the figure
8, the dollar being formerly called a
''piece of eight
That it is derived from a representa-
ton of the Pillars of Hercules, consisting
of two neellellke towers or pillars con-
nected with scroll. The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred to as pillar
dollars"
That it is combination of H. S."
the ancient Roman mark of money unit.
That it is 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 P.
and placing it over the sum.
According to one writer the symbol of
the dollar is monogram of the letters
~" 80 and j." the dollar being
originally a ''thaler" coined in the val
ley of SAINT Joachim, Bohemia, and
known as Joachim thaler," and the
monogram the initials of the words,

public.

an angle Of about forty-five degrees.
AS this revolves the pins keep slid
ing down the smooth copper to the
lower side. This constant rubbing
against the tub and against each other
polishes Them.
1t was the practice formerly to allow
pins of all lengths to become mixed in
the different operations, and, after
polishing, to separate them by a very
ingenious machine, but it has been
found more economical to keep each
size to itself.
From the polishing tub the pins are
carried to the ''sticker," where they
fall from a hopper on an inclined
plane in which are number Of Sits
The pins catch in these Sits and hang,
ing by their heads. slide down the in
cline tn the apparatus which inserts
them in the paper.
As the number Of pins in row on
the paper and the number Of Sits are
the same. an entire row is stuck at once
by an ingenious device, which takes
one pin from each slit and inserts them
all at once in the two ridges which
have been crimp' n the paper by a
wheel that holds it In place to receive
the. pins

Gait Is an important part of physical
expression. BY his gait a man tells Us
whether he is fresh or tired, strong or
feeble. in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. The
upright and somewhat rigid walk of the
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait of the sailor, and different
from both Of these is the slow, jolting
gait of the country laborer. which. how
ever. is partly accounted for by his clum-
sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities
OF gait, again, an attentive eye discovers
many moral qualities. Slow steps, wheth.

through very many operations. which

AS the wire leaves the rollers it
passes between two matched dies until
the dies come together and clamp it
