BAD PAPER MONEY.
The Most Reliable Way of Detecting q
Counterfeit Bill.


A bank cashier tells that the best
way to tell counterfeit bill is by sound
and feeling. "Take the bill firmly be-
tween the thumb and index-fnger of
your left hand and pull itquickly through
your fingers like this. Now listen to the
sound it makes. 1t is not just like rub
bing silk. and neither does it resemble
a paper sound closely. It's noise that
is too peculiar to admit of descrip-
tion"
''Do they make counterfeit paper so
near like the original that you can't
tell the difference?"
"You can't tell by looking at it. 1t
is only by the sound and touch. Now
listen to the sound made by this
counterfeit twenty dollar bill. You
see, that's slick noise, something like
pulling glazed or oiled paper through
the fingers. A child could tell the
difference between that bill and a
genuine one. But look ut it and you
will think your eye is on something
that would pass muster for twenty dol
lars worth of groceries.
"Who taught you this business?"
20, my first lesson was given by an
I'D man who has been all over this
country and Europe teaching the busi-
ness. He has in his possession over a
thousand specimens of counterfeits.
| He obtained them from the authorities
of the different Governments. He has
no peer in the business, and every ex.
pert in the country owes his knowledge
to this old man, "-Kansds City Star,

In every country there is some
special draw back to the sheep industry.
Here we have dogs and wolves. In
Australia rabbits eat nearly all the
grass and leave the pastures rs bare as
Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard. In
New Zealand the great enemy of sheep
is large green parrot. 1t lights on ii

After it has eaten its fill it flies away.
But, as rule, the wounds it makes
never heal.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 2S.--The day

large correspondence is not allowed to ac-
cumulate. The volume OF mail received

Mcdonald followed the action OF Mr..

THE GERM ExrEnMINATOn.
what A Dctrcit Physician Says of Edi.
sons Alleged Discovery.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 2s.-A dispatch from
Detroit, Mich, says A leading physician
and chemist, speaking of Edison's alleged
discovery about an exterminator Of yellow
fever germs, said: "Edison's discovery is
based on the theory that the feveris caused
by microbe or germ. This has been ac-
cepted by some investigators, but never re-
ceived by the profession as even tenable
theory. Assuming, however, that Edison
las some occult means OF proving IL TO de-
pend on a microbc, his methods are made
quate to its destruction. His germicidps
rhigolence and caus,ic soda are infinitely
inferior to many germicides in use. The
problem Of killing the germs when shown
10 exist and circumscribed in location is
simple TO the merest tyro in pathology,
but 10 apply gasoline 10 the total destruc-
ton OF innumcmbly myriads OF infinites-
nal hypothetical microbes is absurd.
When we consider that glass OF water or
banana may contain many times the num-
Der OF germs that there are inhabitants OF
jacksonville, and that (if the germs exist
they are generally distributed upon what
is eaten, drank and worn, its mode Of APP
plicaton is puzzing.

THE INTEREST LAWS.

Now that the people in town and coun-
try arc rapidly adjusting themselves to
their normal standards OF industry and
progress, it is proper that THE APrEAL
revive the question Of conventional inter
est, which Tor some months before the
"yellow fever scare II had consistently
pressed upon the public attention. Adj
yocating free trade as we do, we also, and
consistently, advocate freedom in money.
Nogood reason can be advanced against the
one more than the other. To circumscribo
capital in the hands OF banker or money
lender is as bad as to circumscribe itin tho
hands Of the spectators, who arc every
where tho life OF trade. In England,
greatest OF modern nations, aud first in
commerce rs in manufactures, trade was
long crippled and retarded by inilcxiblo
usury laws. Not until 1884, after the
passage OF the reform bin, the emanc-
patton Of the negroes in the West Indies,
and the emancipation Of the Catholics OF
Ireland, was any successful attempt made
to relieve them Of this burden and
make them independent of the money
sharks. But rs one great reform il
sure TO begot another, usury fell
before the advancing spirit Of liberty. The
United States is now entering upon sim
liar period Of emancipation for trade, and
Tennessee should prepare for IL 10y remoy'
ing all restrictions upon money. Also
lutc freedom In money borrowing would
operate with the rcyviiying power OF new
