COUNTING
COUNTERfEITs

Warrington, Oct. 1.-THE biennial
count Of the counterfeit money and
apparatus seized by the secret service
has been begun by a committee Of the
treasury department. Every piece of
counterfeit money captured in the last
two years will be carefully counted
and record kept and at the close II
will all be destroyed. The coins will
be nut into a smelter and the paper
money will be macerated. The dies
molds, printing presses. acids, etc.
will likewise be burned SO that no
trace will remain.
When a capture of counterfeiter's
outfit and of his money is made It is
sent TO the treasury where 1t is count
Cd and itemized with the same care
that would be given to the best of mo.
ney. II Is carefully put away, and at
the end of each two years the count
that Is made by committee repre-.
senting the secretary Of the treasury
must tally to single piece of lead
with the records of the secret service.
Very little Of the imitation silver
pieces put out by counterfeiters con-
tains anv silver. II is nearly al base
rIe'al, and has no value by reason of
gold or silver. The counterfeiter
seeks to fool his victim with tIe
cheapest kind Of material. Conse-
quently the government loses nothing
by the destruction Of these things, bit
even II the value were great the de.

WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.

The American girl is admired and liked 1t home and abroad because she IS the happiest, usually the heaithiest aud friend Hest of gifls. She Is fond of life and Is alive to everything beautiful and good in existence. Mrs. Langtxy has said that the American woman has little to learn from her English sisters.
 Dr. Pierce, the specialist in women's dis eases, of Buffalo, N. Y., advises simple ex- ereises for women, preferably in the out door air. But many women are confined to the house and their household duties or their business confines them to poorly ven- tilated rooms.
 If a woman suffera from a headache, a backache, a sensation of irritability or twitching and uncontrol1able nervousness, something must be wrong with the head or back, she naturally saya, but all the time the real trouble very often centers in the womanIy orRanA In q8 per cent of cases the seat of the difcultv is here and a woman should take rational treatu,ent for its cure. The local disorder and infiamma- ton of the delicate special organs of the sex should be treated steadily and system aticallY.
 Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform eures a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietOrs and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully %arranted in offering to pay Ssoo for any ease of Leuconhea, Female Weakness, Pro. tapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cuTs- All they ask is a fair and SeAsonahie tTiaa of theix means of cure.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The census analysis made by Profes- sor Wilcox. of Cornell University again brings out the fact that although more boys than girls are born in the United States the girls eventually out number them. However. the fact that the death-rate among boys is greater than among girls should not discourage anybody.
 On the contrary. everything consid- cred. those boys who survive the perils of boyhood should be very grateful. The average girl deserves little credit for living through; the average boy, from the time he begins to creep, is not only surrounded by dangers. but if he be a healthy child, as he generally is, he goes out looking for others, and as a rule with marvellous success. From the moment he discovers the use of his hands and feet he engages in blood curdling enterprises, such as
