JoHN MA.ItIRE, Montata's own "Tip perary dude." who years ago exchanged the pleasure and excitement of an actor's life for the cares and responsibilities of a managerial career. is about to return to his flast love, and again tread the boards. a roysterng Irish blade, albeit a trifle rheumatic in the joints and other wise marked by Old Father Time. John will support Katie Emmett, who does the conventional Irish drama, and will no doubt renew the success of hisearlier days, when he found such favor with the fair sex that he was unable to make a choice, and consequently now lingers in an atmosphere of reminiscent single blessedness. tli. - lil t: ' ,titar Mark Originate? Declw I give !:':e 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 a modification of the figure 6, the doll.r being formerly called a "piece of eight." .That it i- derived from a representa tion of the Pillarsof Hercules. consistin':. of two ne ,dlehke towers or pillars con nected wi.h a scroll. The old Spanish coins in .rked with the pillar device were fr luently referred to as "pillar dollars. That it is a combination of "H. S.," the an, Tent Roman mark of money unit. Tha it is a combination of P. and S from peso duro. signifying "hard dui lar." In Slanish accounts leso is con tracrtd by writing the S. over the P. and placing it over the sum. According to one writer the symbol of the dullar is a lnonogram of the letters "V'" "S'" n "" the dollar being originally a "thaler" coined in the val lay of Sant Joachim, Behemli.t. andl known as -Joachiin thaler." and tie msonoram the initials of ti,' w.ord,.

A Movemset In Favor of Vertssal script Backed b:" the tI;ghest IIedleal Author. Itles--esultst f Extensive Experiment. With School Children. The method of writing taught in mod. ern schools and practiced by 09 ptcle out of every 100 has been declared dan gerons and unhealthful by experts. DB the time the nest generation matures it wi'l probably have been biped out. The script then will be vertical instead of slanting, and writers will sit square and upright before their work instead of side. ways and stool.ed, as at present. The idea of this prospective reform or. iginated in Germany and ovsrspre&de England While retching tids bountry. The following resolution was adopted not long ago by the international con. gress of school hyglenme n London by a vote of 229 againet 1: Whereas. The hygienic advaatagesof vert cal writing have been clearly shown and sa tabllshbd both by medical ivestigation and practical esperlesee. and Whereas. Its introduction obviates those per nileous positions of the body which entail re, chitic diseases and myopia. Resolved, That we recommend the tatrodue. Lton of vertical writing In the schools of the people. The effect of so serious an action in a country esteeming proper physical con. ditions as England esteems them to readily to be imagined. The corresponding movement in the United States is led by Dr. Buunham of Clark university. His investigations have brought the conviction that the or. dinary position in writing is among the foremost conditiones of school life and methods of training which must be changed in the interest of health. The vertical script, therefore, is strongly recommended. Fron 80 to 90 per cent of lateral curvature of the spine is found to be caused in school life, the curvature in a large per cent of these cases being toward the right side, as a result of a defective position in writing, and the eyes at the same time are seriously in jured by this slanted writing. The practical auvance of the newly approved system in this country is illus trated in the Worcester normal school and the Workingmen's school at Fifty fourth street in this city. directed by Professor Adler. where the vertical writing is used in the lower grades and now carried on to the fourth and fifti, grades. The observations of foreign physicians showing that the prevalence of myopia and spinal curvature is regularly in creased in the advance through the school grades are supplemented in this country by work tin novel lines. An en ergs tic course f:ilowed by Dr. Shaw of tih. U.oversity of the City of New York has given additional proof that the can:s. of the difficulty is to be attributed to the desks which are generally in use, and more especially to the bhad position in writing, the opinion being held with an. pafcni unanimity by inve:itignators in this country as well as abroad that all but two positions to be taken in the school practice of writing are improper. One judged to be correct is the obliqu', central position and the other the straight central position, between which in reference to final choice the contro versy in Germany is said to be fierce. The advocates of reform observe that the child writes vertically when he first goes to school, and that the teacher Lha to work for the slant. The vertical writ ing and the central position at the deal; are alike naturally indicated. At tlu, stage the controversy has led to the con clusion that the height of the desk nawl that of the seat must be equally adapted. to the growth of the pupil. In some of the progressive schools, as Felix Adler' and at South Orange, N. J., adjustable seats are being used. The point in Dr. Shaw's recent experi ments, made with the aid of several a sistants on more than 1,800 pupils in the New York and suburban schools, has been to see whether, with the paper di rectly in front of the pdpil and with the eyes closed, there could be any tendency toward vertical writing. The pupils were flt requested to take the custom ary position in writing, and to write in the ordinary manner the sentence, "John is flying his paper ite." This form of exercise was selected on account et the number of long letters which it contains, and as being one also that is easy for the child to .semnember. ASte having thus written the sentence, the pupal was di rected to take the straight central poi tion. dip his len in the ink and with his eyes closed to write the same again. The closing of the eyes was to elimi. nate from the child's mind the comacious ness of the slant. The angle of slant in all the long letters in the test paper was earefully meseaed, the sagle of slant in the usual writing in each case being also found with the same precision. The measurements and the calculations ran up to 8,000 items, and among otherissues of the work was the invention by a lady of a machine for making the measure ments.-New York Press, Club Rae Ias rew Tek. I was somewhat shocked last week while sitting in the Knickerbooker club, where I was buily engaged in alternate ly lntg an those tiresome wallpaper bouquein ad garleas and in heping up a desultory oonvanatos with the only two men of my acquaintamwe left in town, to me a man whom we all knhew non to us ashepass-: rw- cln: window, although aecompanm-I by his wifs.

Cotton was used for making garmnnts in India at a date so remote that it cann not even be guessed at. The fact is menc tione by Aristotle. The trnt seeds weret brought to this country in 1621. In Itice. the enulture is mentioned in the reci.rde of South Carolina. In 1786 the culture was general along the eastern coast of Maryland. and in 1776 we heard of it as far north as Cape May. The use of Bar for making clothing is nearly as anti :a: as that of cotton and perhaps more so - plants of so.t and flexible fiber havin* been without doubt among the flrst veg etable productions of the ancient world and their practical value discovered soon after the invention of weaving.--San Francisco Chronicle. tDhiling Califerets.
