Where Dollars Originated.

Joachimstahl, near Carlsbad, is his
toric as the birthplace Of the original
dollar. This was the silver gulden-
groschen, coined in 1919 by order Of
Count Schlick from the metal Of re-
Gently opened mine, and it became
known as the joachimsthaler, or
'thaler'' alone for short. Before 1900
the nimble English language had al
ready made dollar" Of this. There
fore this name was loosely used Of
all manner Of coins, varying in value
from 75 cents to $1.25 and belonging
to all manner Of countries, from Swe-
den to Japan. 1t was from the prev
alence Of the Spanish dollar in the
British American colonies at the time
Of their revolt that the modern cal
mighty dollar was derived, while in
modern English very recent slang has
given the name to the crown piece.

Building Destroyed by Fire Replaced

In April the citizens of Portal were
all distressed to see their new Presby-

eyes with no fire protection with
which to battle the destroying ele-
ment Their building had cost them
about $500 and had been standing
only a little over two years. NOT dis

pense, they have put up another
splendid building costing $4,000, which
is larger than the former. The base

separated from the auditorium by
folding doors, with chairs.

The Collar Question.

One Of the first signs of advancing
years In men is the desire to have an
easy and ample collar. Our humorists
have dwelt on this subject In many
phases, but that it Is no joke is shown
BY the fact that during the past week
two men living in the vicinity Of New
York have died of apoplexy when at
tempting to button tight collars. While
the youth may choke himself IL he win
in order to be smart looking, let the
average man Of forty and upward be-
ware. High collars and tight collars
are not for him unless he chances to
have q neck like an ostrich. New York

THE BLACK BOTTLE.
A Legend That Still Lives In Ne,
York's Bellevue Hospital.

A Legend That Still Lives In New
York's Bellevue Hospital.
The legend of the somber old pile
may pass with its destruction, but the
tradition OF the 'sbIack bottle,' viii be
handed down to curse the new. In
the minds Of the unenlightened this
fiction OF the past has become fact,
as firmly believed as the doctrine OF a
religion The black bottle is the eu-
thanasia Of the useless, the incurable
or the troublesome. 1t is in the GUS
tody Of some mysterious person, who
sits as the Judge Of life and death. Its
contents are quietly dropped in the
victims food or drink, and he passes
on to cumber the earth no longer.
There is no appeal from the black
bottle. It's existence is denied by all
In authority. 1t does its work silently
and surely. Horror Of horrors! The
bottle sometimes falls into the hands
Of some spiteful nurse or attendant,
and then let the trouble maker be-
ware! Or perhaps the medical schools
need new material for their dissecting
rooms. Again the black bottle, and a
plethora Of subjects results.
A great many years ago the nursing
fin the Institution was done by con-
victs from the penitentiary and by wo-
men from the workhouse and the jails.
Tradition says that in those days 1t
was dangerous to be helpless In the
wards with even the wealth of few
dollars. A little opium in the food, a
pillow pressed down over the face or
knee squeezed into the throat, and it
was all over. The legend Of the black
bottle may have been the result Of
those days. Another tradition of
Bellevue is to consider every man al
coholic until he is proved innocent.
This tradition dates from 1875, when
the hospital was raised" where the
city hall now stands, at the expense of
fifty gallons Of rum, paid for by the
corporation n.-Harper's Weekly.

The Redieas, Curious Tribe Of So

The Rodigas, a Curious Tribe Of So-
E ciai Outcasts.
There is q curious tribe Of people In
Ceylon called the Rodigas, who live
the life Of social Ishmaels, despised
and cast out by their fellows. Until
quite recently they lived apart from
the abodes OF other men, in holes and
caves. In no case may they lie down
to rest with other men. They may not
enter temple or a court Of Justice
and on all occasions are compelled to
/ s"stand afar off, So low down In the
scale Of humanity are they placed that
they may not even speak with stran-
gers except through the intermediary
Of man Of the lowest caste above
their own. OF late years their status
has been improved, and they are less
sserYile in consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people Of the lowest
recognized caste, and upon the ap-
proach of a traveller they shout to
warn him to stop until they can get OFF
the road and he can pass without risk
of deflement from the proximity Of
their persons. It is curious and yet SO
characteristic Of society in all coun-
tries and all levels that even among
these people, who seem to have reached
the very lowest rung Of the human lad
der, there are classes and social dis
tinctions. Thus the ambetteyos, or
BARRIERS, and the hanomoreyos, or betal
box makers, are looked upon with con-
tempt by the despised, ostracized Rodi-
gas, who go to the length Of shutting
up their dogs lest they should stray
into the houses of the lowborn or
gnaw bone that they may throw at
them. Dundee Advertiser.

It is estimated that more than 20O,-
600 moonstones are carried away from
Redondo beach every year, says the
Los Angeles Express. Residents and
visitors are allowed to lug them home
in pockets and handkerchiefs, and Of
late teamsters have been hauling them
away by the wagon loads for building
purposes. Protests have been made to
the city trustees, but the traffic con-
tinues. Nor does the supply Of peb-
bles that are said to be rich In moon
stones and other gems seem in the
least shortened. The never resting
ocean washes them in day after day,
as though a boundless wealth of them
lies out somewhere in the deep.

pressed In a lecture recently delivered
before body OF German physicians.
Chairs may have been known to the
ancients, but they were used only on
extraordinary occasions. Persons OF
culture as well as the barbarians took
their meals and their rest reclining.
IN discussing the subject DR.. Kruche
Of Munich, according to the London
Globe, says that: ''to this day the prim-
yitive peoples prefer the reclining to the
sitting posture. and the fact that they
lie not upon the back, but upon the
stomach. accounts for the better and

Charles l.'s Cloak.

ed to them the scarlet cloak which
was worn by Charles 1. on the scat
fold at Whitehall. The cloak was Sc
cured by William Walcot, who was
page Of honor to the unhappy mon
arch and who was in attendance on
the king at the time of his execution.
The garment has been in the posses
sion of the Walcot family for, 260
years and was exhibited at the Society
Of Antiquities in 1861. 1t is in splen-

Walcot family having presented it to

THE cocKET WRITERS.
What Happened When England Abol-
ished Their Offices.

What Happened When England Abol-
ished Their Offices.
In the long room Of the London Gus
tom house years ago were twelve off,
GERS styled "cocket writer's" They
wrote certificates that goods had been
duly entered and the duties paid They
were also known as patent officers be-
cause appointed for life by letters pat
ent from the crown. Their salaries
were nominal, EGO year, but they
were permitted to remunerate them
selves by extorting fees from the mer-
chants-fees which in some cases
amounted to "a thousand pounds a
year. In 1851 the treasury determined
to abolish patent offices and called
upon the twelve cocket writer's to fur
nish a statement Of their emoluments.
The officers, ignorant of the treasuryss
purpose, imagined that the govern
.ment intended to impose an income
tax. Ten of the writer's, therefore, re-
turned statement which understated
their fees by several hundred pounds.
The other two furnished an honest
statement. In q few days ten clerks
were surprised and disgusted and two
clerks were astonished, but pleased.
The. treasury notified the cocket writ
ers that their Offices would be abol-
ished and that they would be compen-
sated by pensions rated according to
the returns they had themselves fur
nished. There were gnashing Of teeth
and broad smiles in the long room,
One Of the two honest cocket writer's
enjoyed his pension for fifty-two years,
during which time the treasury paid
him 1000.
