'Word "Sterling" Adopted During
King John's Reign.
One of the most distinguished
elements in the present commercial.
difficulty is that of money .and ex-
change and it is not surprising when
consideration is given to the itriport-
anee of the medium of eichange and
what part it has to play in serving
for the transfer of commodities. The
'Word money was derived from mo-*
netai one of the surnames of Juno,
in whose temple the Romans first
made coins. The word mint is sop -
posed to be a contraction of the word
woneta through the Angle-Sexon
"ruynet."
When we read that sterling has
fallen in exchange value who knows
the origin of the term/ Yet it is
traced to the inhabitants pf the Ban -
so towns, know as Eiterlings, who
were invited by King John of Eng-
land to come to Englend and reform
the currency which had become very
corrupt. From that date good Eng-
lish money was known as sterling.
The shilling is from the Anglo-
Saxon sailing, meaning a twentieth,
so it takes twenty shillings to make
a pound.
The English farthing meant the
fourth of a penny and was actually
broken from a penny in olden days
when the pennies were indented with
a full cross so heavily that they could
be snapped into four. This was a
solution of making change, as the
primitives understood it.
The franc is only another way- of
spelling the silver coin of the
Pranks and has no indication of
value. Our own dollar has a Ger-
man origin, having _been the thaler
or more fully, Joachim's thaler, the
silver coin struck out of the silver
found in the thal or valley of St.
Joachim, France. This was extreme-
ly pure and being coined into ounces
gave the real basis of the silver dol-
lar which weighs an ounce.
Few stop to consider what a cent
IL It raf;tant a hundredth, the
Irreneh word for hundred, and is the
appropriate name for the coin which'
Is one-hundredth of a dollar. The
quarter is easy, for it is one-fourth of
the dollar. The nickel is so-called
because of the metal from which it
is Made and the dime is a tenth, from
the old French disme, traced to the
Latin. decem, ten.
When you visit a mint and see the
great bars of gold and silver and are
told that this is bullion, you may not
know that the word is from the Latin,
bulls, meaning rounded, and refer-
ring to the roundfug of these bars by
art.
The ;10 gold piece of the United
States is so-called an eagle because
of the print of the eagle on it, just
as the English crown received its
name from the crown on its reverse
side.
In coins the side bearing a head
Is known as the obverse, that bearing
any other device as the reverse. In
matching coins, we speak of one side
as the head, the other as the tail:

A° T Sant Margherita in Italy is
living Grand Duke Nieholas
Nicholaievitch, former com-
man.der-in-chief of the Rus-
sian army, and his brother, Grand
Duke Peter, and their wives.
To a correspondent of the Associ- i

Replying to an inquiry whether
The Romance of Invention.
It is an accepted truth that the
man who increases the material
wealth of the world by the ordinary
processes of trade, manufacture,
agriculture or mining does much for
us, and not alone in thertal
senee, for he provides those of us
who have ideas with the wherewithal
to work, or even in extreme cases
with the inspiration with which to
work. But we are not to exalt the
successful business man, manufac-
turer, farmer or miner to the highest
pinnacle without inq.uiring whether
there is not some one else to dispute
Or at least to share it with him. What
of the -man with the Idea? Before
ever the miner, to take one instance
alone, can extract wealth from the
bowels of the earth, the inventor
must show him how to proceed. Be-
fore any of us can do any of the
things that seem materially worth
while, indeed, there must be the in-
ventor to precede and blaze the way.
It may be assumed that the ability
to invent and the ability to make a
practical success out of an invention
in the vast majority of cases are mu-
tually exclusive."
The whole record of the advance
of civilization shows this. The inven-
tor is too wrapped -up in his idea to
have n very clear notion of just what
to do with it. A. doubly unfortunate
result follows, unfortunate for the
community in that the invention is
not developed and got into general
use for the common good to the fMi
extent of its capabilities, and unfor-
tunate for the inventor in that he
fails by this very circumstance to get
his full reward.
Sometroes, however, we meet a
man who combines in his one person
the qualities which lead him to make
a great invention and at the same
time make him able to ,ca.rry it to
-commercial success. Such a man,
says the Scientific American, em-
bodies to the last degree the romance
of invention—for romance has a
wooden leg when it does not end
happily. And of such a man, his
struggles to overcome scientific and.
industrial obstacles, and his final suc-
cess, we read with never -flagging
Interest.
Tipping Extraordinary.
The tyranny of the tip was one of
the first things that struck George I
when he came over to claim his
throne. "This is a strange country,''
Boren° Walpole reporei him to have
said. "The first morning after my
arrival at St. James' I looked out of
the window and saw a park with
walks and a canal, • which they told
me were mine. The next day Lord
Chetwynd, the Ranger of the Park,
sent me a brace of fine carp from
my canal, and I was told I must give
five guineas to Lord Chetwynd's set.-

-- Another Pompeii.
During the war archaeological ex-
cavations were continued at - the
Italian colony of Cyronaica on,, the
North Afrieaneenast, and now comes
the news that what has been found
already promises the uncovering of
another ancient city as Important as
Pompeii. Once upon a time the spot'
was a Greek colony, with the civiliz-
ation of Greece -transplanted to the
soil of Africa. The work has been
carried on during the war under the
superversiop of Prof. Lucio Mariann
director of the archaeological ser-
vices of the Ministry of the Colonies,
and the prediction -is now made that
the newly discovered city will event-
ually prove actually richer than
Pompeii in its. evidences of a past
civilization. Here have been already
found statues of the Graces, a Her-
mes, an Eros, an Alexander the
Crreat, and most impressive of all, the,
Aphrodite of Ofrene, which IS said
by certain connoisseurs to be a fair
rival in beauty to the Venus of Milo
and the Venus of Cnidus. The dis-

BERMUDA 'PARLIAMENT NO
" YEARS "OLD
It was on August 1st, 1620, that
the first session of the Parliament
of Bermuda was held, and the three
hundredth anniversary of the event is
being celebrated on the island this
week. The celebrations will- be .re-
sumed in October when the Prince of
Wales pays his visit. The Bermuda.
Parliament is thus the oldest in the
British Empire with the exception of
the Parliament in, Westminster. It, is
true that when it was established
there was already an assembly which
had been in existence for a year in
Virginia, and this was at the 'time e of
course, a British Parliameet, but it
had taken the Virginians' twelve years
to have their Assembly established
while the Bermudans had only, landed
eight years before the Crown granted -
them this right. Moreover, we be-
lieve that the people of Virginia, es-
pecially the colonels, would admit
that the aitizens of Bermuda have
been able to keep a -tighter hold of
their liberties than has Weft tbe
case in the American Common-
wealth.
This little mid-Atlantic island was
discovered ie 15'15 by a .Sphaniard
named Juan de Bermudez, which
gives rise to the *suspicion that it
was called after him. Its earlier
name, however, was the Isle of the
Devils, on account of the storms
that voyagers encountered there. ,The
isles were supposed also to be in-
fested by evil spirits and none of
Bermudez's men made a. landin'g
Indeed the first landing was the re -
salt of an accident nearly a hundred
years later when Admiral Sir George
Somers and a party of Virginian
colonists were shipwrecked there.
They remained for nine months and
at the end of that time had fash-
ioned two small ships of native ce-
dar in which they embarked and
later reached Virginia safely:* But
they left behind two of the party,
Christopher Carter and Edward Wa-
ters, who liked the place so much
that they were unwilling to leave.
When the Somers ships reached Vir-
ginia they found the little colony
in. hard straits and on the verge of
starvation. The gallant admiral,
therefore, proposed to return to Ber-
muda and brin'g back a cargo of the
wild pigs that abounded on the island
and thus save the plantation from
extinction.
He died, however, on his way to
Bermuda, and the crew, commanded
by his nephew, Captain Matthew
Somers, instead of returning to Vir-
ginia kept on to England with the
Admiral's body, having buried his
heart in the island. Arriving there
they gave such glowing accounts of
Bermuda that the Virginia company
determined to colonize the islands,
and for this purpose had its charter
amended to include islands within
three hundred leagues of Virginia
instead of one hundred miles. In
pursuance .,of this policy a band of
fifty colonists was sent out on the
vessel Plough in 1612, which was
eight years before the Pilgrims set'
forth on their history -making voy-
age in the Mayflower. When the set-
tlers arrived they were amazed to
find themselves greeted by Carter
and Waters and Edward Chard, who
had left the ship when Captain So-
mers visited the island on his way
to England. Shortly afterward the
Virginia company sold its rights in
Bermuda to another company and
the development of the island began.
From the first the proprietory com-
pany had given the colonists repre-
sentative institutions, but since they
were dependent on it for their sup-
plies, they found that they were
seally working for their existence,
the company making all the profit.
They had to buy whatever they
needed at exorbitant prices, and had
to accept whatever the company of-
„fered them for their crops, the most
tobaceo. However, the colonists did
imports/1;1,d which at that time was
have a parliament, and in the end -
this became the weapon with which
they -were able to defend themselves
from the greed of the company and
to win economic as well as political
freedom. There were three branch -
'es of government as devised by the
Bermudans, the General Sessions,
meeting twice a year and composed
of representatives from the various'
parishes, the General Assembly
meeting every second year, and
the Grand Jury, which was perhaps
the most important of all, for the
.Grand Jury had the authority of
presentment, without indictment, for
any matter or offences within its
-own observation. It was the police-
man and the censor of the island,
and sternly were its powers wielded.
In 1618 a woman was presented by
name en suspicion of incontinence.
A Man was presented because he
did not behave himself in church
with sufficient seemliness, and had
neglected to receive the Holy Cbm-
munion.
These charges were regarded as
by no means trivial, for, thirty lashes
at the church door usually followed.
In fact the early political society of
Bermuda was a theocracy. Never-
theless it was preferred by the Ber-
mudans to the yoke of the absentee
landilordi- and gradually the London
company, not findieg the venture
very profitable, sold its holdings to
the tenants. As the tenants became
freemen they refused to. obey the
laws of the company or acknowledge
its authority in any way. The com-
pany. retaliated by suspending the
tessions of the Assembly* for ten
years. But the colonists pressed
their claims for relief before the
Court of King's Bench, and in the
end the Bermuda Con0any was dis-
solved in 1684. Three years later
the Assembly was re-established and
has been, holding regular sessions
ever since. To -day there is very
slight, interference from Englana
with Bermuda. As a rule, it is only
when the Legislature enacts a law
with a "suspending clause,” which
means that it desires to have the
bill referred to the Imperial Gov-
ernment, that the Governor with-
holds his assent to any legislation
submitted to him. -

with choler. "There is not one word

cured our charters, we have a right
to go ahead -as we think best." -
"Have copies of all the charters
beenhave,"pomitedwith me, sir?"
"Where do I find my legal authority
to raise the Grindstone dam so as to,
flow dead -water back into Knoptuk
stream so far that the splash -dams
tise flooded out?"' • • •
"You are guessing they will be
flooded."
"We do not guess in my business.
I know they will be flooded. What
are you. guessing in regard to Grind-
stone dam?"
"It is not guesswork. We need the
extra head."
"You do not. More water there
will bother the Temiscouata
that's 'ell. It will spread the inde-
pendent tributary water so much that
rival drives stand a chance of being
scattered—and, once -scattered, a quick
drop in water at Grindstone will leave
millions of logs hung up high and
dry."
"1 am not pleased 'with your readis
ness to ascribe to us any motives out-
side those of straight business." The
directors of the Temiscouata sat back
and did not presume to interfere in
this duel between. father and son.
"It is possible for irresponsible un-
derstrappers to be very careless in
handling the gates of a dam, sir."
"You have your instructions. Fol-
low them."
"Very well! Now let me call your
attention to the fact that there are
two outlets of North Ebeematee I am
ordered to blow the ledge under the
dam of the upper outlet so as to give
us three feet more drag on the big
lake. There's a shoal thoroughfare,
the Sickle -hook, between the big
hikes. Do you realize that the small
lower lake alone will not give head
enough to drive—say—the X. K.
logs, to speak of only one independent
operator?" He spoke with rather
carless inflection and looked out of
the window into the rain.
"Nobody has any charter rights on
Ebeemah! We must take over what
we need before somebody anticipates
us; we shall protect ourselves by se-
curing a legislative act next winter."
"You -have ordered a canal which
kills Wirlingstene lake and stream

A TONIC FOR THE NERVES.
The Only Real Nerve Tonic is a
Good Supply of Rich, Red -
Blood.
"If people would only attend to their
blood, instead- of wdre*ying themselves
ill," said an eminent nerve specialist,
"we dtictors would not see our con-
sulting rooms crowded with nervous
wrecks.More people suffer from worry
than anything else."
The sort of thing which the special-
ist spoke 'of is the .nervous rundown
condition caused by overwork and the
many anxieties of to -day. Sufferers
find them -selves' tired,. low-spirited
and unable to keep their minds on any-
thing. Any sudden noise hurts like a
blow. They are full. of groundless
fears, and do not sleep well at night.
Headaches and other nerve pains are

from starved nerves. • '

"If you were in your office in New
York, father—away from the details
—you wouldn't be giving . out such
orders as these changes suggest. I
beg your pardon again and askfor
the indulgence of these gentlemen
for stepping outside my position as
engineer. I ask this—only this, sir.
Confirm these orders after you have
been- back in, the city for a week."
It was advice far from tactful when
spoken in the presence of those
listeners. It came from- impulse—
all at once Kenneth had seen, with
mental vision that lonely little figure
toiling up the slope sgeinst the wind.
To, the father this seemed net.merely
insubordination—it was more of that
patronizing superiority which had in-
flicted on his sensitiveness ever since
he had been in the north country; it
was of a Piece with the son's attitude
on another occasion, and resentment
revived,.

president of • the Great Temiscouata.
You are the chief engineer. You
are to talee no liberties with me on
account of our relationship. You
are to draw no inferences from plain
orders. You are to go ahead ab.d
execute. If you are not ready to do
that you may sit down and write out
your resignation," --
"I had no business talking to you
as I did," the young man confessed.
"I can see, all at once, that the com-
plications on account of .relationship
are. considerable. obey your sug-
gestion in regard to the writing of
the resignation." While he wrote
hastily he said: "I can say better
what I have to. say when this is in
your hands, sir. I feel that I must
say it."
He gave the sheet of paper to his
father and stood erect. "I know how
conditions are up .this way—and how
they will continue until some homed
law gets in all its work. In settliag
t
some affairs, as all of us have ford
out many times, a fightcan'be av

the right conditions. I'll stand by my
company all the time that it is pro-
tecting itself and getting. its rights.
But I won't go robbing heneroosts in.
the dark, and I _won't walk up behind
any man and hit him back of the
ear when he isn't 'looking.
"Your metaphor is not illuminat-
ing, sir," snapped the colonel.
"It is a little raw, -I'll confess. I
don't mean to intimate that the
Temiscouata asks any such service
from an employee. What I want to
say is that in at fair fight the real
man gives the other fellow warning
and time enough to pull his gun. I'll
admit that our company has the
right to develop for its own advantage
even stretching its privileges a little;
that has been the -fashion up here—
the others are doing it."
"What sort of treatment did we
get from the X. K. last spring?"
, "A polite word to fit it does not
occur to me just now," admitted the
engineer. "However, according to all
reports, it was good! open fighting—
no skulking! Now, as I understand
it. we propose to keep up the fight.
What kind of a word -are we going
to send to the other side?"
- "No word at all! Most certainly
not! What? Betray our company's
private affairs?"
"The word may bring about a'
compromise."
"The performance will bring about
a better one. Hold on! I'll have no
more talk." The president held up
the paper on which Kenneth had writ-
ten his resignation. "Will you obey
the orders of the company?"
"I will, after I have notified the
other side what we intend to do on.
behalf of our interests."
.The colonel laidf the paper on, the
table, and at bang of his fist on the
sheat emphasized what he said. "Your
resignation is accepted."
"I'm sorry that it has 'been accept-
ed on such grounds."
"The Great Temiscouata cannot af-
ford to accept that resignation on
such grounds," declared! Director
Deakins. "It can't afford to stand! in
any such light. I do remonstrate that
the bald way in which Engineer Mar -
thorn has put the thing does our in-
tentions injustice, but his very blunt-
ness reveals how the thing may be
looked- at by those who are not able
to understand our position. We Can't
afford to have our interests prejudic-
ed by false reports when it's time
to take our affairs before the Legi-
slature." He was deferential, but he
was firm.
Colonel Marthorn maintained wrath-
ful silence, his knuckles on the paper.
He was in no fashion soothed by the
flicker of at deprecatory smile on his
son's face.
Another director, more of a diplo-
mat, suggested that perhaps their
engineer's blunt way of speaking
might give false impression as to his'
own real intentions as well as -their
own. "I'm sure you would not do
anything which would hurt the com-
pany, Mr. Marthorn,"
"I am standing for what will- help
the company, sir, in the long run.
Tricky triumphs will hurt us."
"Kenneth, I'll have no more of
those cOntereptiale insinuations,"
broke in the father. "Nobody knows
my business ethics better than you."
',Yes, sir! By precept and, ex-
ample. You. have- trained me well."
The colonel's lack of enthusiasm
when he looked at his son suggested
that tile father felt that the training
had Men altogether too good. This
prodigy of probity seemed to be try-
ing to put high-minded business men
to shame. The colonel was not wholly
convinced that Kenneth's sole and.
real animus emanted from punc-
tilious honor; close kin are often most
reluctant to admit one's possession
of angelic qualities.
"I wish you'd'withdraw your resig-
nation, Mr. Marthorn!" pleaded the
diplomatic director.
The son observed that his father
jammed knuckles harder on the sheet
of paper.
"Colonel Marthorn, will you ask
your son to withdraw his resigna-
tion?"
"I will not." After a pause the
colonel went on: "This is confound-
edly disagreeable, gentlemen. I feel
it quite impossible to reconcile my
attitude as father of this young man
with my position as president of the
company. For me to continue to
preside is not in good taste. I ask
Mr. Deakins to take the chair."

"But, on the other hand, Colonel
Marthorn, he is a young man who is
refreshingly honest. The Temis-
couata must value that asset. highly.
He is the head of our hydraulic sur-
vey and it right in the middle of his
job. Absolutely we can't afford to
let him go. I say it in his presence,
for I want to match his honesty in
declarations. Is there any gentle-
men of the directors here present
who believes that the resignation
should be accepted?"
They wagged their heads, denying.
"We humbly beg your pardon,
Colonel Marthorn, for our stand in
the matter. If we have offended you
as president you must admit that we
have complimented you as father."
Deakins turned to Kenneth. "You
see, sir, it's our sentiment that you'
should withdraw your resignation.
The company's best interegts require
that you should remain on the work,
you've undertaken. And there nee
no strings attached to this proposition.
You are- left free to work for our
best interests as your judgment dic-
tates."
"In that case I have no reasons for
resigning. Gentlemen, you have my
gratitude," ,
Mr. Deakins slowly tore up the
paper.,
Father and son matched memories
in. their mutual stare; on a minor
matter Kenneth had declared in the
.home. library that he would give the
president of, the Temiscouata Company
a run in the board meeting, and now,
O n aleig Matter, son had 'given father
that run and had been. victorious.
Behind the griinnesa of the colonel's
countenance Kenneth cletaated the
'paternal admiration.
"Dad, it's all these infernal woods!
Everything is topsyturvy! After you
get back to the city you'll see that
it's all right." He 'hurried to his
father with hand outstretched, and
when the colonel accepted the hand-
clasp Kenneth put his left arm car-
essingly on the senior's shoulder.
"I didn't mean to. bark so loud! And
there may not be much bite, after
all!"
