FIRST q. s. BILLS CRUDE.
Money Was Easily Connterfeited
Spurious Paper Flooded Country.

From the Detroit News.
So easily counterfeited were the
hrst lots OF paper money issued by
the United States government In the
so that spurious bills flooded the
country. Countless astute business
men were victimized. Finally. to balk
the criminals, book called "Heath's
Infallible Government Counterfeit De-
tector at Sight" was published in
1870.
In those old days money was print
ed on ordinary paper, which counter
feiters could easily obtain or initiate,
and consequently such a book as
"Heaths Detector," which concen-
trated on the designs on the bills, was
needed. Now, however, a special
brand OF paper, with special water
marks, whorls and embedded tiny silk
threads. Is used. This paper cannot
be initiated by the counterfeiter and
such a book as the "Detector" Is
not now needed.
The book, published by Laban
Heath & Co. of Boston and Washing
ton, claimed to be "the only infallible
method" of detecting counterfeit
notes and bonds with genuine de-
signs (Which were mutilated) from
original government plates by au-
thority from the United States
Treasury Department and the Ameri-
can, National and Continental Bank
Note Companies Of New York and
Boston"

taken of the fact that every six tons
of waste paper produces the equiva-

HONGkONG, November 20.-How
would you care to wake UP on

her left foot in an attempt at suicide
and, reported dead from shock and
loss of blood. the body" was sent
to the government morgue.
While an attendant was removing
her clothes the woman rubbed her
eyes. sat up on the table and loudly
protested against what she described
as the mans unseemly conduct. Bad
ly scared, the attendant dived under
the table and set up cries Of "Ghostn'
Other attendants rushed into the
morgua. where they found the young
woman, pale and frightened, sitting
upright on the table and moaning.
a doctor was called in, examined
the woman and then ordered her re-
moval to hospital. where she is
making rapid progress toward re-

are keenly alive to the indirect dis
credit that public opinion to a certain

Because this situation has come

Jaffa large numb er of soldiers, va
riously estimated at from 1900 to $500
who had voluntarily surrendered them
selves as prisoners of war, were
marched some distanoae from the town
and shot down in coHd blood. Their
bodies were then heaped III pyramids
and for half a century their bones were
visible in the gEstening sand. This deed
which remains one of tine darkest stains
on Napoleon's name, was defended by
him on the plea Of necessity. He de-
clared at Helena that lae would do the
same thing tomorrow and that any
