One of the Most Serious Menseos to
Public Hoalth-Various Ways in
which the Germs Are
Transferred.

Public attention has never been d.
rected in an adequate manner TO the
donrers which exist in the careless
handling of money. Owing to its rap
idlv circulating nature and TO the many
uncleanly places in which it is con-
stantlv being concealed and carried
the coin Of the realm possesses adyan-
taqes in the dissemination Of infectious
diseases. not inherent in any other OBJ
ect of public utility. For this reason
il should be regarded as q possible
source of contagion at all times, and
should be handled with the most Sc
rious consideration. But instead OF
applying sanitary or common-sense
methods to the necessarily numerous
personal contacts with the circulating
medium, the majority of people show
less discretion in its use than in any
other habit OF life. business men un-
consciously dampen their fingers III
their mouths when running through
package OF bills, passengers in the
street cars hold niclels in their lips,
and shoppers neglect cuts or abra-
sions on the fingers which touch quanti-
ties of change. Vet all Of these foolish
oversight may prove as serious as the
careless handling of frearm. In both
cases the excuse is the same; Didn't
know it was loaded" Recent expert
nlents prove that practically ale of the
older coins and bills in circulation are
thoroughly tainted with diseases OF
more or less malignant types. Mods
ard fungi of numerous varieties; cocci,
which included all of the more deadly
blood-poisoning germs, and baciui OF
several possibly dangerous kinds were
all found in q few samples, while the
chance Of detecting the organisms of
the greater number of the contagious
diseases was prevented by the cordi-
tons of the experiment, More COM
piete and extended tests would doubt
less have shown even more startlingrc-
suits, while the possibility of finding
germs of an epidemic nature, even in
the present state of the city's health,
,gas admitted blythe psychologists con
Quoting the investigation.
This contaminated condition of the
money in circulation may well be con-
sidered one Of the most serious men
aces TO the c;iHiic health. Yet a few
simple and common sense precautions
will remove the greater part Of the
danger. Clean the unsecured hands,
or gloves worn while shopping, Il
reasonable degree OF care in holding
money, and above all I'm avoidance of
putting coins, bills, or fingers in the
mouth or on the lips while engaged in
commercial pursuits, are easy ways to
procure safety. With these simple
methods OF obtaining security ready at
hand the present Widespread violations
OF sanitation must result either from
profound ignorance or from an almost
criminal degree Of conference.-the

The general impression is that the
great bulk of immigrants to the United
States find homes ''in the great west"
notably those from England, Wales,
Germany aud the Scandinavian coun-
tries. The contrary. however, is shown
by recent figures to be the case. The
states into which immigrants go by
preference are those on The Atlantic
seaboard. OF $4,000 immigrants who
landed in this country during the last
fiscal year covered by the treasury re-
port, 127,OoO meant to remain in New
York state. Some G1,OOQ others had
Pennsylvania for their destination md
$4,000 Massachusetts; SO that these
three states absorbed about twc-tbirds
of the whole immigration to the United

Tit for Int.


\ well-lSnown baron whose stables
were among the most elaborate in Paris
told his servants one morning that he
was not going out, But a couple Of
hours or so later, he had occasion to
alter his plans and order his carriage.
The hostler came back after a short in
terval and announced that the horses
and carriages were in the stables but
that the coachman had gone around 10
the saddler's and all the grooms were
gone on various errands. The million
aire instantly left the house, hailed a
cab, drove to thenearest householder and
coachbuilde1. brought them back with
him and sold on the spot every one of
his horses and carriages to them. What,
then. was the amazemcnt of the small
army of coachmen and grooms when
they cane home to find that clean
sweep had been made and that their oc-
cupation was gone! Now the baron al
ways goes about in cabs and says he
prefers them.-Chicago Record.
