thereafter some spoiIs Of war were
carried to Rome and stored in this
temple. Later the building was used
as a mint. 1t was only natural that
its productions came to take the name
OF "mOneta."
The word dollar" is derived from
the German "thal" meaning vale or
valley. In 1854 the German (now
Austrian) government coined n GER
tain piece Of silver called crown.
This was the first coin as far as we
know to be of the size and weight of
the coins which were later known as
pieces-of- eight, piastres, dollars, etc.
In 1916 Bohemian feudal lord named
Count Schlick coined some pieces of
silver of this size AT mint in JOach-
inns Thai, or Joachim's Vale, in Bo-
hemia. They were first known as
SchlicktenthalerS and JOaChimSthalers
-afterward abbreviated TO 'thalers.'
These coins were circulated In BOhe-
mia and the low countries, where they
were variOusly called "thalerS," "dal-
lers," "daalers," etc. They even
reached ConstantinOple aud were
named "aslani." When Charles V, king
of Spain, heard of Schlicktenthalers
he decided TO adopt the size as stand
ard. SO he coined eight Spanish reals
of silver, which amounted TO about
the size of thaler. and called them
''pieces-of-eight" and "dOllers." This
coin in July, 1876, was adopted in
America by the continental congress.
The sign of q dollar (S) came about
in this way: When Charles V de-
signed pieces-of-eight the two pillars
of Hercules were placed on one side
with q scroll forming an IS" and the
words "Plus ultra" This made q
crude IS" 1t came TO be used as n
sign for piece: 'f-eight-afterward
dollar.
The word carat" originated In the
East and signified beans of locust
tree. These beans were used from
time immemorial among eastern ma
tons as a weight, just as barley and
wheat have been with US.
Money was called cash" by the an
cient Hindus (from "karsha-pana," a
coin). "Coin" comes from the Latin
word "cuneus," die or stamp.
"Guineas" is dubbed from the country
in which the gold was obtained.
Franc" is the abbreviation of the in

comes from u root signifying to div
ide.
Ancient coins are often valuable for
the history inscribed on them. Vic
tories have been concentrated and
rulers immortalized through the me-
dunn of coins. Further, the move
ments of people have often been es-
tablished by digging up tLeir coins in
distant countries.

"First the children went for their
stockings. They ak sat on the floor,
and in every stocking were the things
they had told Santa Claus they want

Make a sponge of all the ingredients
except the rice and barley flour. The
potatoes used should be freshly mashed
with no fat or milk added. The water
in which they are cooked can be used
for the liquid. Let this sponge stand
in a warm place until very light. If
dry yeast is used, set the sponge the
night before it is needed.
Add rice flour and barley flour when
the sponge is light. Knead and let
rise until double in bulk. Knead again,
form into loaf and allow to rise until
bulk is again doubled. Brush over the
top Of loaf with melted fat before
putting it to rise.
All breads made with substitute
fours are better if baked in s~ingle-loaf
pans or in rolls or buns.
This recipe will make one large loaf.
Bake for one and a quarter hours in
a hot oven.
