A Fleod Of Base Coin.

A letter to the Times from Geneva
staten that estimates of the amount Of
false coin shipped to Egypt and other
eastern countries by swindlers who for
years past have made Geneva their base
Of operations vary from ten to forty mil
lion francs. The villages In the inter
ior of Egypt are literally inundated
with 1t, and the Government will prob
ably be compelled to withdraw the
piastss and replace them with coin OF
the same value but of q different name
and appearance. The swindle origina-
ted In 1851 or 1852 when the premium
on gold mahmoudles (value about 10
francs) was 30 high that coin honestly
made with the correct amount Of gold
could be struck ct Geneva aud shipped
east at profit. When exchange return
ed to the normal standard the profits
were continued by detailing the coin,
Finally the trade became one of pure
counterfieiting. The coins were made
into necklaces and passed through the
Custom House hs jewelry. The Egypt
ian peasantfy accumulate their savings
In the form Of female ornaments. An
xgent at Alexandria found ready mar
ket in the interior. The swindle has
thus long escaped detection. Seven or
eight years ago the matter came
to the knowledge Of the Egyptian Govern
ment, when q pretended prosecution OF
the countsrfelters was begun, but was
bought off, and the matter hushed up
The principal parties implicated are
Bellauy, man of good family Le'
jeuna, . prominent jeweller /; Curiel, ar
Egyptian money broker, his son, BROTH
erin law and clerks, all of Geneva, ant
Schinasi, the Alexandria confederate.
All of the foregoing are now imprisoned,
Perhaps the largest operator in the coin,
Ia q Marseilles banker named Amoretb,
who deposited 100000 francs as .
guarantee that be will appear for trial
Ali those implicated will probably be
tried At Geneva. The celebrated Maitre
Lachaud Of the Paris bar, has been re-
tained for the defense,

said that he had seen that the New

A Hint to Young Husban ds.

Love and appreciation are to woman
what dew and sunshine are TO flower.
They refresh and brighten her whole
life. They make her strong hearted
and keen-sighted IN everything affecting
the welfare of her home. They enable
her to cheer ber husband when the cares
Of life press heavily upon him, and to
be very providence to her children.
To know that her husband loves her and
is proud Of her, that even her faults are
looked upon with tenderness that her
face to one at least is fair face in the
world, that the heart which ls TO her the
greatest and noblest, holds her sacred 10
Its inmost recesses above all other wom-
en-, gives strength and courage, and
sweetness and vivacity which all the
world could not besIow. List q woman's
life be pervaded with such an influence,
and her heart will blossom and sweet
en-, and brighten in perpetual youth.

agrees on It's part to provide not only

scheme looks we'll enough, but, like all

not work. The Canadian authorities
have tried similar plans before, and the
result was unqualified failure. The
Ontario Government some years ago
built homesteads, gave free grants and
even helped to clear the land tor Scand-
inavian and Whitechapel emigrants In
the great Muskoka and Parry Sound
districts, only to find that no emigrant
outside of the Scandinavian countries
and the sluns OF London would patron
ize the territory.
The Dominion Government, in order
to secure Mennonite emigrants during
the exodus of that peculiar people
from Southern Russia, advanced them
loans, only to bring down upon itsell
the wrath of the Irish and Scotch vo'
ters, who protested against paying for
system of state coddling from which
their countrymep we're excluded. The
Ontario Government then tried the
plan of advancing q portion Of thu
emigrant's passage-money, or rathel
of giving him q reduced rate Of steer
age fare, free railroad transportation
and bonus of So after six weeks
residence in the province. This worked
like a charm, according to the emil
grafton returns, but IL was soon fount
that the emigrants, particularly thu
Irish emigrant, simply sojourned IL

hus and then hurried across the line Il
