All Uia Money, anil "Uncle" H the (looda-llave Never Keen Time So Villi. lima must Indeed tat hard when even Urn pawnbrokers complain of bad busi es. ' While all other branches of trade lave managed to pull through the holl sys with at least small but profitable Ulatic t the last ol the year, the pawn brokers, probably fur the first time In Qustr recollection, find thnelve en the losing side of the ledger; A reporter made a tour of Now York city, visiting 100 pawnshop scattered boat the east and west sides and Har lem. Out of all the shop vUited only two of the owners admitted that but i ness waa Improving, and that they weru doing a well as last year. Tlu-w two ease may be accounted tor by reason of their long standing aud popularity with the people that patronlaeauch eitablUh mente. One I situated on upper Blxth venue, in the Tenderloin, and the other la Chatham square, for generations the Msec for those in want of ready cah. Neither of the two places advance money except on jewelry, They do ust, therefore, come in contact with the poor est class nf people,, who are compelled to part with even their clothes when ne cessity com pels then to raise money to buy food. The pawnbrokers, when aaked for an explanation of the falling off in their business, with one accord said, "The poorer classes, with whom we deal, pawned all they bad during the money Knio last summer and now have nothing t to pawn and no money to redeem their pledges." One man In Oliver street said: "I bave been In the pe-wnbroking bunion for 45 years, and I have never seen bind neassodull. During the summer months we took lu all we could handle, but money waa so tight then that we ad vanced only one-half the loan usually given. Even this did not stop the bnsi Dens. Naturally w expected big boom this fall, and that the goods would be re deemed, but we were mistaken. I bave never had such quantity of goods on my shelves. If the people conld only pay the interest, I would not complain, but most of them are Industrious people out of work, and the ohanoee of getting my money back are very slim." At pawnshop on the Bowery the manager saidt "If business in onr line continue the same for another month, I shall be compelled to go to work, The outside public look upon the pawn brokers as having money to burn. They think we are on 'velvet all our lives, but If they could look at onr books for the past year they would not think our game wee such a good thing. It may look very odd for me to make this state ment, but it Is a fact nevertheless that when times are good with the people they are good with us. I can explain that this way: When, for inntunce, the bead of the family la working steadily, the wife or daughter needs some little things in the middle of the week, They have not the wherewith and won't have it until Raturday night Tiu-y can't wait until then, lint rush off to tho pawnshop with sometruikat, ami on Si.Uur-Uy night come in and redeem it. Now things are different. Even if tliey have tlm trinket (which, by tlie way, is very doubtful) they do not dure to pawn it, for the fa ther being out of work they are not sure of getting it out ;;aai. The result is that, instead of our turning our money over and over, we simply have to ait dewn and grin and bnr it." "Pawnbrokers are starving," said a Grand street proprietor. "Tho people bave all our money and we their goods. We would rather reverse the order of affairs, but I can see no prospect of such change. During the past year we had more goods left with us after the ticket expire than ever before. With the hard times and competition we got no prices at all when we auctioned our unre deemed pledget," To prove this asser tion the pawnbroker brought curt his books, which showed that at tlio last auction sale of unredeemed goods In De cember the pawnbroker lost $200. "We would prefer to have the people redeem their pledgee," he added, "for then we get the Interest, and that's what we are in the business for." A tour of the pawnshops along Second venue found the proprietors all bemoan ing their fate and complaining of the hard times. Little or no business was being transacted at these shops, poor peo ple having long since parted with their clothing, the principal article tn trade on the east side. Up in Harlem the same condition of affairs prevails, - One pawnbroker on One Hundred and Twenty-flfth street said that he had no more money to loan on clothing, adding that it did not pay for the room it occupied, and that the chance of its ever being redeemed was very remote. Along Eighth, Ninth and Tenth avenues the pawnbrokers said business was going to the dogs. A pawn broker on Eighth avenue, near Twentieth street, who does a flourishing business, said: "There's no chance of improvement in our business until the people get work. At present it looks as if we wore in busi ness for our health." In lower Sixth avenue and Hudson street, which are populated by the poorer Class, the wail of the pawnbroker is loud And sad. No reason ia given except that the men are out of work and the wives have nothing left to pawn except scraps of clothing, and that ia refused at the majority of pawnshops.

Men of Intellectual pursuits sometime are afraid of losing their mental powers in old age because they bave drawn so much upon them when yimng. The reverie Is nearer the trutb, and if they have not overtaxed their brains the fear is absolutely groundless. The man whose intellect goes first in old age is generally some farmer or la borer who has never strengthened and Invigorated it by ttset not the politician, tlie lawyer or the man of letter. So with the eyes. Those who bad strength ened their eyes by using them properly keep keen sight longer than those who have never trained them. In the case of tho man who has neglected to give his eyes foil development they will fail In power along with hi other bodily functions.
