How Napoleon Raised Money.

Napoleon had the lavish hand of a
Daryenu, but his benefciaries were not
grssteFul, ass Eth. ever increasing in
science were always craving more. The
system of private considerations or forced
contributions from individuals had al
ready attained vast dimensions During
the winter of 1809-1O it was extended
and regulated; the sums wrung from
German princes and Spanish grandees,
from English merchants and the italian
clergy, were not entirely exhausted; the
remainder, together with what was "ac-
cepted' from timorouspoEticians, crafty
ecclesiastics, sly contractors and unprin-
cipled financiers, was now erected into
the dignity Of the emperor's "extraor-
binary domain The term army
chest" had been devised for times Of
higher public morality it was now dis
carded. Confscated palaces, forests,
lands, fisheries, moneys from the sale Of
American ships-all were now the EN-
peror's private property. Professor

The Word "DcIiar.v

According to one authority, the word
"dollar'' is corruption of the German
word "thaler," the form in Dutch be-
ing "daalder T" All these different forms
were derived from Jcachim's Thai, a
Bohemian town, where the count Of
SchIick, A. D. 1918, coined some ex-
celient pieces in silver Of che ounce in
weight From the name Of the town
came Joachim's thaler, applied to the
above named coins as well as that of
Schlicken thaler. Hence, Joachim's
thaler pieces were first contracted into
Joachim's thaIers and then into thalers
These coins gained such reputation
that they became a pattern, SO that
others of the same kind, though made
in other places, took the name, the word
assuming different spelling through the
low countries, reaching Spain as dol
lars, and through its provinces trans-
mitted to the western hemisphere, where
it was applied to coins prior to the
adoption of the federal currency. In
coinage the word dollar is favorite,
being found, under various spellings, in
almost every part Of the globe"

MILLINERY MATTERS.
Ostrich Feathers on Large Hats-Flowerl
of Fine Quality.

Ostrich Feathers on Large Hats-F1owers
of Fine Quality.
Flowers are worn in profusion, and they
are finer in quality and more perfect in de-
sign than any heretofore shown in the
market It would be difficult indeed to
select the natural from the artificial with
out touching them, so perfect is the imita-
tion. Among the popular flowers are
mignonette, cornfowers, peoples, roses and
orchids, with an abundance of greenery.
Foliage in rich red bronze and autumn
leaf colors is much liked.
Feathers are even more favored by the
better dressed among fashionable women
than flowers are. Rich, thick ostrich
plumes, either black or white, are most in
fashion. On very large hats the profusion
of feathers is preposterous. Sometimes as
many as II are used to trim. One large
plume is carried around the crown, two or
three fall over the hair at the back, and
the others stand erect or are laid about in
various directions If the present fancy for
feathers continues for any length of time,
the business of ostrich farming will be an
exceedingly profitable one, as good feathers
