FIND MANY =. LIS PENNIES.
New York's SuLtreasury Discovered
$4,000 of Them in 1901.

W ,UOU OF ] ncfIl III lSOi'
In the minor coin division OF the
United States subtreasury in New
york of $4,000, 900 pennies received
.here in 1901 over $4,000 were coun-
terfeit; of the s2.o26,000 received in
minor coins-nickels, Scent pieces
and pennies-$1 331 were in counter
felt pieces. Although the Baltimore
subtreasury has no record OF the
amounts of coins detected here, be-
cause Of the fact that the United
States secret service men collect all
of these coins from this city and take
them to Washington for experimental
purposes and for the purpose OF de-
tecting whether or not any new coun-
terfeits are being circulated, it is
known that but comparatively few
spurious coins find their way into
the local office of the treasury.
About 15,05o, coo pennies are -handl-
ed by the local subtreasury each
year, and of these a remarkably
small percentage have been found to
be of no value. 1t was stated at the
SuDureaSury yesterday tHdt luo u
cipal trouble, as far as counterfeits
are concerned, has been with nickels.
Not more than about 500 Of these are
received IN a year, and receipts OF
pennies have been proportionately
less.
The man accustomed to the work
spots bad penny in the fraction OF
second. Counting at a speed almost
too fast for the unframed eye to fol-.
low, he seldom, if ever, misses one
that is off color or that lacks the
sharpness Of outline in the modelling
of genuine one.
The expert, however, is seldom able
to tell you what are the things that
mark for him a particular coin as
spurious His senses are SO highly
trained to the work that he differen-
tiates and chooses almost instructive
ly. 1t is merely matter of unremit-
ting vigilance and loIg experience

The Ruler of Morocco.

The Sultan of Morocco is described
as a progressive young man whose
misfortunes are quite undeserved
Though he grew up in the seclusion
of an Oriental palace and had no real
education from the western point OF
view, he has thrown off the cramping
influence of early training and is keen
to acquire knowledge. Europeans who
have visited his court have been
struck by his unusual intelligence. and
they say he actually does possess a
rough working acquaintance with the
practical side of modern science.

Surgeons sutures.

Modern surgery employs dozens OF
different kinds of thread for sewing
up cuts and wounds. Among them
are kangaroos, horsehair, silk and
very fine silver wire. The short,
tough tendons taken from the kanga-
roo, which are used for sewing severe
wounds, are particularly valuable and
have saved many lives; they hold for
about month before they break
away Silk thread will hold for much
longer, sometimes six months, while
the fine silver wire is practically in
destructible Thus surgeon is able
to select a thread that will last as
long as the wound should take to
heal, and will then disappear COM

Peruna is such perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
used it they can never be induced toquit
it until they are permanently cured. 1t
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees are
strengthened, the appetite restored,
the digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weaken
ing drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course of
treatment with Peruna.
