While the market was somewhat irregular
and feverish the covering of trading shorts
continued TO be a sustaining influence, and
the next advantages of the day rested
rather on the side of holders of stocks. The
gold engagements for tomorIow's French
steamer reached large figure and there is
nothing in the condition of foreign ex-
change to warrant expectation that they
will cease for some time. The future move
ment of gold, however, may be determined
to an important degree by the course of
Congress legislation after the holiday re-
cess. 1t is now evident that it will be i'm
possible to get through Congress any cur
rency measure on the lines of the Carlisle
bill or remotely resembling it. An impress
sion prevails i'll high financial circles that
when the administration realizes this fact,
it will probably urge upon the National
legislature the need of a currency commits

question next year, and have prepared, Tor

public sentiment sufficiently aroused Con-
gress might be brough to providing for a
government bond issue on terms which
would enable a large credit to be established
in Europe thereby reducing, if not entirely
stopping the exodus of gold. Except for the
currency problem, the industries of the
country would doubtless make rapid pro-
gress in recovery. and even under existing
circumstances an improving tendency is
noted, while the paassge of the railway

THE FIRST POLISHING PROCESS.

and then dried by being placed-a
bushel or so at a time, with about the
same quantity of sawdust--in a ma
chine called tumbling barrel.
This is simply caslx suspended on
shaft which passes through it length
wise. Two or three hours rolling in
sawdust cleans the pins and wears
away any little roughness which the
machine may have caused.
Pins and sawdust are taken together
from the barrel and allowed to fall in
steady stream through blast of air.
After this they are spread out in trays
having sheets of zinc in their bottoms,
which have previously been connected
with one of the wires of an electric
battery. The trays are then placed in
a tank containing solution of tin in
muriatic acid, and the other wire of
the battery is inserted in the solution.
Electrical action Immediately begins
and deposits metallic tin on the entire
surface of each pin.
They are then washed in a tank of
water and put into other tumbling bar
rels with hot sawdust. When they
have been dried and cleaned of the
sawdust, as in the former instance,
they are put into large, slowly revolv-
ing copper-lined tub. which is tilted at

How Did the pollar Mark or,y,n...q


Below give five theories of the origin
of the dollar mark ($), they being select
ed from about 20 seemingly plausible
solutions:
That it is a combination of the "U. S."
the initials of United States.
That it is 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 combination of "H. ST."
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
"V" 49, and ~" the dollar being
originally "thaler" coined in the val
ley of SAINT Joachim. Bohemia, and
known as Joachim thaler," and the
monogram the initials of the words,

Character In Gait.

Gait is an important part of physical
expression. By his gait 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, iolting
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.
er long or short, suggest a gentle orrefect
i've state of mind as the case may be.
while on the contrary quick steps seem
to speak of agitation and energy.
Reflection is revealed in frequent
pauses, and walking to and fro, back
ward and forward, the direction of the
steps wavering and following every
changing impulse of the mind, inevitably
betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in
decision. 1t might be asking too curious
a knowledge to distinguish by their re-
spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift
and the philanthropist, but the proud
man is almost always known by his step,
the vain man to some extent and the OBJ

Bee beauty in that picture?"

do you think you could make me sec
any beauty in that picture?" this most
