Oriuin Of Dollar.

f'he dollar was originally Jochims-
tllaler- gulden-groschen But that name
was too long for general use. and /,
was cut down to thaler, which was
transliterated into the present form
1t could not be either gplden or
groschen, because the gulden had al.
ways been minted Of gold. 1t was not
groschen. because that coin was Of
small value, so the two Were combined.
The essential part of the name was
Jochimsthal, or JoachimsthaI, as it is
now spelled. the Joachim valley, In
Austria. from which the, silver was de-
rived for the minting of this large
coin. As that great silver mine is To-
Gated In Bohemia, the original thaler
was the Bohemian dollar. Those sill
yer mines have since attained world
wide fame, because they are the source
Of radium. but the dollar comes closer
home to most of as. ftth

Ccylon's Rice EieIds.

1t is surprising condition in Ceylon
that rice is not grown in nearly suffi-
cient quantities for home consumption.
British India ships considerable guam
titles to Ceylon. There are vast tracts
Of irrigable land on the island now un-
cultivated which would be suitable for
paddy fields. but how to bring about
the utilization of this rich land remains
unsolved.

An Easy Celery Crop.

There are many ways of growing
celery in the home garden. says the
Country Gentleman, but one Of the
easiest and best ways is to SOW the
seed in May in rich, damp place and
then to cover it with wet sack or a
piece of burlap until it sprouts. The
plants should be set out between the
middle Of July and the middle of Au-
gust. They do not begin to grow well
until the cool, rainy weather of late
summer. They are set in trenches
foot wide. about nine inches deep and
two feet apart. The plants are placed
four inches apart in the row. As they
grow the earth is filed in about them.

The White Of an Eco.

The white of an egg is made up Of
little cells filed with albumen. BY
beating the white these cells are rup-
tured and oxygen from the air Is in
closed. which gives the white and light
appearance to beaten eggs. The white
Of stale egg will not inclose as much
oxygen, will not be as light and as
easily digested as that Of the fresh egg
and, Of course, less valuable. The I'M
portance of beating the egg in cold,
pure air is readily seen.

of a fake wrestling bout are believed
to have driven j. Peterson, Franklin

NORTHUMBERLAND EN-
GAGEMENT,

Local friends of the groOm-tO-be will
be interested in the engagement OF
Herbert Mckeever, formerly of Moline
and we'll known in tri-city newspaper
circles, and now OF Aberdeen, where he
is editor OF the Aberdeen American,
and Miss Doris Bickelhaupt, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Bickelhaupt OF
Aberdeen. The wedding will be an
event of the early fall as announced at
a luncheon given by the bride elects
mother Saturday, the account of which
is given by the American as follows:
Miss Bickelhaupt chose for her
announcement party a bluebird lun-
cheon, for bluebirds, one knows, brings
happiness. Flowers in shades of blue
and pink sustained the note of color
in table decorations and in the garn-
ishing of the spacious home. BlueblrC
place cards were used. Upon the large
table in the dining room where the
hostess made one of IL girls seated
tround its polished surface, there was
a glorious bowl of blue delphinium and
white Canterbury bells, centering the
gay scene. Burning tapers about the
center gave light. Small tables were
disposed elsewhere in the dining room
and the hall and living room, each
group of four or eight being marked
by repetition of the flower arrange
ment. The bowls here held more blue
Iarkspur and with it pink roses In the
living room baskets standing upon the
floor held tall spikes of delpbinium
and one massing of this regal bloom
almost hid the mantel behind its up
standing shafts of color and beauty.
The flowers all come from the BiCkel-
haupt gardens with an occasional con-
tribution from the beauty spots OF
friends.
The announcement of the betrOth-
al was made in a way quite typical OF
news these wartime days. 1t was
given to guests by means of a little
extra" which called the details OF
this latest "enga cement" arriving from
the military movements of the armies
in the Land of Hearts Desire. Upon the
goblet's rim at each place at the table
there perched a little bluebird when
the guests sat down. From his tlnv
beak fell white ribbon, the end hid
den beneath the napkin. Thus guided,
the girls found copies Of the one AM
only edition of the little newspaper
which told them the news OF this day.
