Three Fish on One Hook.

story of fishing on the St. Lawrence:
"About two years ago," said the
guide -"and it makes lee laugh every

been four and a half times greater than
the growth of debt. If debt goes on
increasing from now till, 1900 at the
rate of 3600,000,000 a year, and public
wealth at 32,700,000,000, Europe will
be richer at the end . of the century

It happened that the reporter had a
punched quarter with the hole neatly
filled up with lead, which had recently
been passed off on him, sandwiched
between two other quarters in making
change. Stepping over to Colgate's
office he was told that the piece was
worth 17 cents. "We take in such
coins every day," said the clerk as he
tossed the bad coin into a pile of others
and handed out the 17 tents. eI think
a good many. of them come from the
West Indies." The do not mind
punched Mone down there."
Another broker said: "This punched
money is a vexation to the public. You
have to scan every piece of money you
receive to make sure you are not being
swindled. Then nothing makes you
so mad as to have some one shove a
piece of money which --you suppose is
all rightback at you and say `punched,'
and look at you as though you were a
counterfeiter or a thief. It is ten times
as easy to take such a piece as to get
rid of it. You couldn't pass them on a
blind man or an ignorant fruit dealer,
and about the only thing you can do is
to put them into the contribution box
or give them to beggars, and then you
feel like a mean fellow. I tell you
punched money is a bigger nuisance
than you think. This device of filling
the holes with lead is a poor one. If
the lead is scraped bright: one might be
deceived in the dark, bit the fraud is
easily found out if you . look closely.
Other ways of tampering with coin are
to file it or bore into the edges or
sweat it. This last is usually done to
gold coin, and is simply shaking it in a
bag to get the gold dust that comes off.
Thera ought to be a severe penalty for
tampering with coins. It is the mean-
est kind of robbery.'' -New York Ti'a-
