A former postoffice Inspector has
many times told the writer how this
scheme works. 1t has bren exposed in
the columns of every daily paper in the
country. And yet these men must find
victims enough to make the business
profitable or they would rot keep at 1t
year after year And. strange as it
may seem. the only Law that they are
liable to be punished under is that of
using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses, for they don't deal In counter
felt money. Here is the point: If any
one bites" they send him a new genu-
inc paper dollar bill, generally half of
one. He is invited TO take it to bank
and ask the opinion of the cashier or
any expert in handling money. Then If
the get quick inves,or goes to New
York after the counterfeit money for
they only deliver it personality he is
pretty sure to leave n their hands
many good dollars and start back home
with bundle of brown paper tied UP
to represent bank bill packages 1t
would seem as tho the government
could break up this business, but the
fact remains that the workers of this
game can not be traced by the address
given in this circular, and after the
victim has been buncoed out of his
money his pride generally prevents his
"squealing." for certainly he does not
care TO advertise the fact that he came
to New York to buy counterfeit money.
And so year after year the game goes
on. the sucker that is born every min
ute always being in sufficient num-
bers to make the game profitable and
Reading the extracts from the papers
of Iowa concerning the damage to Iowa
crops by the recent floods and wet
weather one can not help noticing how
such reports in every case come from
the said writer's point Of view. Now
the LOoker-on was out west ana north
west while the rain descended and the
floods came. He saw hundreds OF
acres under water, heard the talk of
the farmers and business men, and
came back into central Iowa "as blue
as milestone" Since then he has
travelled over Tama Hardin, Marshall
and Poweshiek counties, and life is
worth living again. These mentioned
counties never had better outlook for
a big crop of oats. corn and grass.
There's a big stand of corn. much of 1t
has been plowed twice, and the 4th of
July will make it knee knee high" Oats
are heading out we'll, tie cool nights
having checked the growth of the stalk.
and there is much less danger of 'lodg-
ing" And the hay crop will be i'm
mense, While the cows and cattle can
rot keep the pastures down." It's a
fact that many of the -piously inclined
farmers around here are praying for
rain. Not deiuge, but q nice shower.

"REMINISCENCES.

DO you remember where the little boys 1ndulged in innocent and harmless joys? It is yon desolate and parching spot There on the rank weed ridden vacant lot, Where once their laughter echoed to the
 sky As they threw snowballs at the passer by. Do you remember where the snow man
 stood, With eyes of coal and skeleton of wood? That is the place-that patch of blistered ~ lawn Neglected even by the dew of dawn; There where industrious ants with pru-
 dent haste Are burrowing to shun the arid waste. And do you see that man. that swelter-
 ing wretch, Whose suffering Dante might delight to
 sketch, Whose collar wilts, who gazes hollow
 eyed Adown the street where once he walked
 with pride? .a+ Iris he who wrote in wintry days much
 rhyme About the gentle joys of summer time.

CoLDEST TOWN ON EARTH.
The Mercury 1n Thermometer Falls Eighty Degrees Below Zero in
 YnkWtsk District.

Tn Yakutsk district the thermometer is known to fall as low as 80 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. The inhabit- ants (the Yakuts) of this district, says the London Graphic, are very inter esting people, as it is evident that they are different type from the surround ing Mongolian tribes.
 Prof. A. H. Keane, in his Man, Past and Present" says: They are almost the only progressive aboriginal people in Siberia, although numbering not more than 100000 souls, concentrated chiefly along the river banks on the plateau between the Lena and the AL dan. In the Yakuts we have an extreme instance of the capacity of man to adapt himself to milieu. They do not merely exist, but thrive, and display a considerable degree of energy and en- terprise in the coldest region of the globe. Within the isothermal of -72 degrees Fahrenheit, Verhoyansk is the heart of their territory, is alone includ- ed for the period from November to February, and in this temperature, at which quick silver freezes, the Yakut children may be seen gambling naked in the snow.

VICTOR HUGO'S HOUSE
The Old Mansion Has Been Pre-
 sented to the City of Paris.
1t Will Be Maintained as Memorial to the Great French Author Filled with Interesting
 CuriOs.

Visitors to Paris, especially those of a new point of special interest in the mansion of Victor Hugo, which through the generosity of the grand children and near kin of the great author, has been presented to the city and will be accessible to the public as a museum, to be maintained as spe- cial memorial to the man whose works have been more popular the world over than those of almost any other French writer Thus will France have a me- morial of her gifted son and one who suffered so much in the cause of lib- erty, similar to England's home of Shakespeare at Stratford-on-Avon, and to Germany's home of Goethe at Wei mar, which the poet occupied for 40 years. s.
 The historic Hugo mansion, on the Place des Vosges, Is the one in which the poet spent some of the most ac- tive years of his long and splendid career in the world of letters. It is nearly 20 years since deaths touch stopped the vigorous brain and busy hand of Victor Hugo, yet the condi- tion of the mansion is much the same as when he occupied it. In addition to the furnishings of the house, which are practically those which were in use during the life of the poet, there are many valuable souvenirs of his work, library of 5000 volumes. and collection of the authors drawings and wood carvings. besides gifts and personal souvenirs, portraits in paint ing, and sculpture, and much else of an artistic and historic value. There are also scattered about the spacious rooms of the mansion many souvenirs of Victor Hugo's friends, including Lamartine, George Sands and the el- der Dumas, consisting of inkwells, pens and letters. The room where the author died is exactly as it was at the time of his demise, the furnishing of

the bed, the clock, etc, being identi- cal
 Victor Hugo had the odd habit ot standing up to his work, a high desk specially constructed for him making this possible. Hour after hour he would stand on his feet before this desk and busy himself with his liter ary work. This desk may be seen in the new Hugo museum, which Paris is now able to control and preserve for the coming generations of book lovers and literary lights. Victor Hugo lived to be 82 years of age, and even at that age was vigorous and active. It was a novel sight to see him before his desk much in the attitude of the clerk in the busy office where the breast high desks are used.
 The house where Hugo was born is still standing, and is also point of interest to the tourist It is three story building and dates from the early years of the eighteenth century A me- morial plate executed by M. Willemot after designs by M. Berard, the city architect at the time, marks the spot The poet lived in many different places in Paris between the time of his birth and the return to Paris after his exile and taking up his abode in the man. sion which has just been presented to the city. Just before the revolution he lived in the Place Royale, and had gathered gothic stained glass, carved furniture, great drawings by the mas- ter himself, Boule clocks, worries, me- dallions, busts, Venetian mirrors, Hol- land lustres, Chinese idols, porcelaines of Saxony and Japan, bed with gild. ed mighty pillars and gilded back, an old movable reading desk with a Bible 1llumined like the Saint Barthelemy of "Les Miserables," the mariners com pass of Christopher Columbus, "La Pinta, 1489," and other rare articles. but during his exile these were seized and sold. Pity it is that these treas ures could not have been preserved and made part of the present collec- tion. How they would have enriched the Hugo museum, and intensified the interest in the place, which is sure to become one of the most popular points of interest to the tourist.
