Interesting Facts Concerning the Mone

V tlona where the Alnerlcan ?'
Dollar Got Its Name.
The florin, one of the most famous of
modern coins, originated in Florence,
says the New York Homo Journal.
Some say that it gave the name to the
city, while others assert that it was
first so called because it had on it a
fleur-de-lis, from the Italian florone, or
"flower," for the same reason that an
English silver piece is called a "crown,"
or certain gold pieces in France indiffer
ently a "Napoleon" or a "Louis," or the
ten dollar gold piece in America an
"eagle."
For seTeral hundred years, and down
to a comparatively recent date, money
was coined at from twenty-five to thirty
different cities in France that had in
herited the privilege. Now all French
money is coined at the Paris mint. Few
French gold pieces are, however, in cir
culation except those bearing the head
of Napoleon III., and silver pieces of
the same coinage are almost as com
mon. French silver coins wear admira
bly, and pieces cf the reign of Charles
X., Louis XV11I. and Napoleon I. are
very common.
The standard eoias on the continent
are: la Fnuu::, Cm; Train.:; in Spain, the
peseta; in Italy, the lira; in Holland and
Austria, the liovin; in Germany, the

PROTECTED BY A WOLF.
A Boy's Nliignlar Defender Agulnat a Pack
ol Hungry Unites.
Sam Adams was killed by the In
dians near Johnstown, Pa., says Forest
and Stream. II is brother John was
with him when he was killed. They
were watching some cattle ina swampy
place on the. river, when they were sur
prised by the Indians. John was only
ten years old, but he knew all about the
ways of the savages. When he saw his
brother fall he dodged into the brush
like a quail and ran till he got into the
dense laurel that skirts the stream. He
was thirty miles from the settlement in
Hedford county, and when night came
on he resolved to take the woods for it
and cross the mountain. lie knew tho
Indians would w al.:h the road. He was
bareheaded and barefooted, and his feet
were bleeding. The wolves followed
him, litnvliji' a id getting more and

rest of the pack dropped off ahd left
John alone with the hir vrolf, and they
journeyed on together till broad day.
When they reached the brow of the
niountain and John could seethe smoke
and .clearings of the settlement they
separated. The wolf trotted off along
the ridge, stopped several times, and
looked back as though loath to leave
his companion. John lived to be very
old, but never harmed a wolf in all his
life; and he firmly believed that his
friend had been sent to him by some un
seen power to guide him through the
wilderness. He could never have found
the crossing without the aid of the
wolf, and would certainly have been
eaten up but for his protection.

Board Costa Four Dollars a Month and
the Place la Kept by a Woman.
Down on Long Island is a summer re
sort for dogs. It is a large, old-fashioned
farm-house, where a few summer
boarders are taken to supplement the
dogs. The hostess is a woman of fam
ily, but not of fortune, a lover of dogs.
The dogs know their friend, and, ac
cording to the New York Sun, when she
comes up to town after a year- of ab
sence they make the most extraordinary
manifestations of affection, and will

They are chiefly big dogs, kept without
the range of the dwelling house. The
only parlor boarder is a fox terrier, who
does not allow any other dopj to set foot
on the piazza. The expense of boarding
a small dog out of town is four dollars
a month. This is clear gain, and, with
a sufficient number of dogs, produces a
good income on scarcely any outlay., as
the dogs, being allowed to run at large,
are much less fastidious in the choice of
food than in town. Their eare is
scarcely more of a consideration. They
find their own diversion, take their con
stitutional all day long, do their own
bathing, and, if ill, find their own med
icines in the green things that grow.
The expense of a dog in town is a con
sideration. A ponad of dog biseait will
not last a fox terrier over three days.
This must' be well pounded and moist
ened with gravy. Twice a week it must
have liver'fproperly prepared. Once
certainly, and usually twice a week, ;t
is bathed, it must have medicinal soaps,
and the tyranny whioh its -caro in the
matter of exercise exacts makeB one
sigh to estimate. In return for this de
votion the dog is much happier in the
country, where it hasonone.
AN ELECTRIC TRICYCLE.
It Is Doe to the Gonitis of an Iodlanlao
and II Simple.
f An enterprising electrician in Indiana
lately constructed an electrical tricycle,
the description of which brought let
ters of inquiry from all parts of the
country. The machine was workud by
storage batteries under the seat, and
which gave enough current for an eight
hours' run. Whether the machine
turned out to bo impracticable in the
iorm tnen auopieu, or wneuier iu m-
ventor hesitated to undertake its com
mercial exploitation, is not recorded,
but the public, at all events, has heard
no more of the Indiana machine. An
other inventor, however, is ambitious
to be tho first to claim the invention of
a commercially practicable electric tri
cycle, and has patented a machine
which relics for motive power also on
the storage battery.
Tho singular point in its construc
tion, however, is that the storage bat
teries are carried around the circum
ference of the wheel, preferably close
to the tire, and there can be any num
ber of cells, according to tho power re
quired. It is claimed that in this way
tho weight of the storago batteries is
moro equally distributed, antl in such
a manner as to causo the minimum in
terference with tho efficient running
of the machine, while at tho same time
affording a simple and easy method of
construction. The cells are connected
by wires to insulated Bleeves that carry
the current to a motor in the axle of tho
wheel, which gives tho motive power
to the machine.
THE FINDING OF A LOST RIVER.
Itemarkahle Msoovery Made by Claim
Hunters In the Indian Territory.
A party which has recently returned
to Paris, Tex., from tho Cheyenne and
Arapahoe country report a remarkablo
natural curiosity that has been discov
ered in the mountains in the extremes
weBtern part of the territory.
In the recesses of a wild and almost
inaccessible range of mountains is a
valley of consideralo magnitude, in
which there is a lake which is fed by
numerous streams that flow into it
from the mountains around it. It has
but ono outlet, which is a stream of
considerable size. This stream flows
toward a largo mountain on the east.

They followed the stream flowing from

as if seeping into the ground, but flowed
into the hole in a strong, bold stream.
They searched long and carefully to find
where the stream again came, to the

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing,
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and tha Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
followB and you may see a way to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled ttiousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There is plenty
of iuventivo tallcnt at largo In this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. Thatencouragcmenttho Pres
Claims Company propose to give.
VOX S IIAitU AS IT SEEIMN.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Hell; that he must devote years to delving In
complicated mechanical problems and that he
miiHt spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he cat) get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusiun the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a clear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of -bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Olllce.
Edison says that the protlts hu has received
from tho patents on all his marvelous inven
tions have not been sufficient to pay the coBt
of his experiments. Hut the man who con
ceived the Idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that It would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of Ills sehemo. Tho modem sewing-machine
Is a miracle of ingenuity the product
of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through
a hundred and lifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon tho simple device of
putting the eye of toe neeuie at tne point in
stead of at the other end.
The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum.
Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard,
THE LITTLE THINGS THE JtlOMT
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as iuveutorB. but almost every body has been
struck, atone time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
without breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known how It ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who is latelfor ,breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break ofl, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venient opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons into
practical shape, and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
the fifteen puzzle.
A TEIUPTING OFI'EB,
To Induce the people to keep track of their
bright Ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
jrize.l
To the person who submit to It
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a commercial
poiut of view, tbe company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars
in cash, in addition to refunding;
the fees for securing; a patent.
It will also advertise the inven.
tion free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condi
tions: Every competitor (must obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
firstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Shpuld this
seach show his invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting of
three reputable pateut attorneys of Washthg
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with their
application:
"I submit the within described invention in
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize ottered by the Press Claims Company."
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETION.
This is a competition of rather an unusal na
ture. It is common to. offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful oue merely selling his for tho
amoun of the prize. But the PreBS Claims
Compauy's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps him self to the
best advantage Is to be rewarded by doing.lt.
The prize is only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club houso on a certain corner is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
lttle use to him. But the persou who patents a
simple and useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry If he
fail to Beeure a prize. He has a substantial
result to sliow for his work one that wll
command its value in the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article in his dally
work ought to know better how to Improve It
than the mechanical expert who studies it
only from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid of the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simpler tho
better. The person who best succeeds in
combining simplicity and popularity, will get
the Press Claims Company's twenty-five hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this compary may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leadiug newspapers
of the United States.

We tuke this opportunity of informing
our subscribers tbat the new commis
sioner of pensions has been uppointed
He is an old soldier, and we believe
that nuldiers and their heirs will re
oeive justice at his hands. We do not
anticipate tbat there will be any radical
changes in the administration of pension
affairs under tbe new regime.
We would advise, however, that U. 8.
soldiers, sailors and their heirs, take
iteps to make application at onoe, if
they have not already done so, in order
to seoure the benefit of the early filing
of their claims in case there should be
any future pension legislation. Sueh
legislation is seldom retroaotive. There
fore it is of great importance that ap
plications be filed in the department at
the earliest possible date.
If the U. S. soldiers, sailors, or their
widows, children or parents desire in
formation in regard to pension matters,
they should write to the Press Claims
Company, at Washington, 1). C, and
they will prepare and send tbe necessary
application, if they find them entitled
under the numerous laws enacted for
their benefit. Address
