An American draper, as an experiment, placed a 50 cent, piece in front of hi.s store. It lay there an hour before being picked up by a youth, who asked for the manage:!'. The lad was given the money. Eleven persons had looked at the coin anld walked on. This reminds the writer, of a friend of his who, bent on proving the marked presence of suspicion in . the human mind, tried to sell a 10s ’’Unote for. a shilling. Everywhere he i went he was repulsed, in some cases with threats of iinprisojimelnt. Over 20 people were canvassed before one L hardy speculator decided to risk his ” dialling, and even he, made the ccjmment that it was too good to be true. ’ .Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, For coughs and colds, never fails.
