Origin of the Dollar Sign. The earliest known occurrence of the $ in print is in an American arithmetic, Chauncey Lee’s American Accomptant, published in 1797 at Lansingburgi This fact was pointed out In 1899. A recent writer again calls attention to-this arithmetic and then, with sweeP simplicity of mind, conveys the idea that this publication constitutes the true origin of the dollar mark. By this mental short cut he saved himself the drudgery of a re-

search which in our case has extended over several years. After 1800 the symbol began to be used freely both in print and in writing. On September 29, 1802, William A. Washington wrote a letter on the disposal of part of the bottom land above the Potomac belonging to the estate of George Washington. In this letter there is mention of ‘ $20,” “$30,” and “S4O” an acre. In this article it has been established that the $ is the lineal descendant of the Spanish abbreviation ps for “pesos” and that the

STORM SWEEPS EAST Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and N. Y. Suffer. Flood Waters Do Great Damage In Many Eastern States—Thousands Are Periled. Chicago, March 29.—Serious flood conditions prevail in the Wyoming valley in Pennsylvania, the greater part of which is under water. Many towns are isolated and the full extent of the damage' cannot be estimated as yet. The Susguehanna river has attained a height of 28 feet, but late reports show that it is slowly receding. and the outlook becomes more hopeful. Hundreds of , families throughout the valleys have been forced to flee from their homes. The militia is on patrol duty in several districts. Considerable damage is reported from Wilkesbarre. The western portion of Virginia has been deluged and a gale has wrecked many homes and, buildings. Railroad traffic has been paralyzed by floods and hundreds are homeless. Thousands of lives have been imperiled by the floods throughout Kentucky and property has been damaged to the extent of hundreds of thousands. The Ohio river is rising and many towns and cities will be flooded when the height of the river is increased by the flood waters from Ohio. In the vicinity of Rochester, in western New York, the flood conditions remain serious, and unless the rivers recede within the next fewhours serious damage will be done to many hous'es and factories. Several blocks are now under water and basements of many stores have been flooded. A heavy storm has swept over the central and southern portions of NewJersey. Considerable damage has been done by high winds and swollen streams. . Following the general storm, which caused much damage in ail parts of Delaware, the temperature dropped suddenly and a big freeze was felt in the fruit growing sections. It was announced that the peach crop had not been damaged. The storm which raged over the major portion of the state of Vermont has filled all the streams flowing into the Connecticut river full to the point of overflowing.

change from the florescent ps to $ was made about 1775 by English Americans who came In business relations with Spanish Americans and that the earliest printed $ dates back to the year 1797. —Prof. E. Cajori in Popular Science Monthly. Drew Better Than a Sermon. - " “Tremendous crowd up at our church last night.” “New minister?" “No, it was burned down.”

GALVESTON FIRST CITY TO AID Commissioner Voted $1,250 to Relieve Flood Sufferers of Ohio—More Is Being Raised by Subscription, Galveston, Texas, March 29.—50 far as is known here. Galveston is the first city to render aid to the flood ers, as a municipality. The city commission voted $1,250 to the sufferers and telephoned $750 of It to Governor Cox and five hundred to Governor Ralston, not waiting to transmit it by slower means. Mayor Fisher has also called for subscriptions from citizens who have collected several hundred dollars.

Shoppers’ Confidence Game. “I find fault with women,” grumbled the man in the checking-room of a large store, “because they have a habit of leaving things in my care and expecting me to send them home. "By no means all the women who check goods in a department store are patrons at that shop. Whenever a woman finds herself downtown burdened with anything that she doesn’t want to earn’, she makes for the nearest department store and checks it. According to the rules of the of-

fice she is supposed to call for it, but half the time she doesn’t. “She writes the next day, saying she forgot it and asking us to send it home. Delivering checked goods is not a part of our legitimate business, but a department store has got to be accommodating above all things, so, of sourse, we send it.” Activities of College Men. The Yale News finds that 173, or nearly one-third, 1 of the 558 men in the two senior classes are in “outside

activities” —nearly one-half of these competing in literary and artistic pursuits. The rest, of course, are engaged in athletics, and they outnumber the men interested in the undergraduate publications and the dramatic and musical clubs. The Yale Alumni Weekly assumes that a greater proportion of the undergraduates below the senior clases “go in” for activities outside the classroom, but it believes that the abuse of this is only in case of those who have more than cr.e , or two hobbies.
