Counterfeit Money.

Look out for counterfeit. money. A
number of halves and quarters are
now in circulation, and In the hurry
of business one is liable 10 let them
slip in on him. The most easily de-
tected pieces are those made from the
quarters and halves Of 1876 and 1891.
The pieces of 1876 are very poor
imitation, the figures being rounded
and very poorly cut, aud the whole
piece has slick, greasy appearance
They have nearly the correct ring, but
are quite light in weight. The
specimen of 1891 is better piece of
work, but is made much en- the same
orde, Of the older date, but can be
easily detected by an experienced
touch.

they was about two inches thick You see,
he sold them pies to the tourists to be ct
