The “mont-de-piete,” as the French equivalent of the pawnshop is called, is a state institution. Con sequently there is not that friendly communion between the lender and the client that one sees in London. There ia no “private office” where the person temporarily em barrassed for money may screen himself from inquisitive eyee. If you are in want of money and yon have any portable property of the value of 3 francs or more yon take it to the nearest branch office of the “mont-de-piete.” The first thing that meets your municipal” patrol- S ig ee g up ia a and “gnard down the pavement eut- aide the entrance. With s feeling of wholesome re spect for the majesty of the law, you now enter a large room, of which one aide ia occupied by benches (very hard and uncomforta ble ones) and the other by half a dozen employees behind a counter. Having handed your property to a clerk whose desk bears the in scription, “Reception of Articles,” vou receive a numbered metal check in exchange and then join the ranks of the expectant borrowers on the benches. There are all sorts and conditions of men and women, from the work girl who brings her Snnday hat to the great lady who' brings her jewels and whose motor car is wait- — in the street. Ut if there is no fraternity in the “mont-de-piete” there is at least equality, and no precedence ia given to wealth or fashion. When the value, of your property has been estimated in another room a clerk calls out your number and the amount offered, which you can accept or refuse. It is never more than half the lowest selling price of the object, as the valuer ia responsi ble for any loss arising from unre deemed pledges. If von accept his offer your name, address ana pro fession are taken down by another clerk, and you must produce papers to establish your identity. The interest charged ia only 7 per cent per annum, and there is no doubt that the state pawnshops ren der great services to all classes of French people.—London Standard. T h s E a rth ’s Surfaes. The surface of the earth can be compared to the top of a barrel of asphalt, hard and rigid through and through, seamed and cracked on the surface by the elements. For ten miles in a straight line below the surface the earth ia probably dry and hard, of a rock substance. The pressure of this substance upon the heated center of the earth keeps it from getting hotter than it is, just as you can keep water from boiling by an appropriately sufficient pres sure. The fact that there ia steam in volcanic eruptions ia the leakage of the interior pressure of heat in the earth. The character of matter in the center of the earth or its im mediate environment must be some thing like pnmice stone—spongy, porous, light—because when the earth’s interior matter ia melted in the high temperatures that are there it dissolves, and there ia con siderable water in it that escapes through volcanic craters in steam. —Professor Hallock, Colombia Uni- versitv. “Down in the country the other day there was a village sensation in which I was called upon to adjudi cate for the farmers assembled in the parlor of the only village inn,” writes the London correspondent of Town and Country. “One of their number had shot a fox which had prowled about among the fowls for so many nights that fowl keeping was becoming a risky business. “The ordinary farmer does net mind losing an occasional hen, but reyhard is a greedy beast and kills for the mere pleasure of the thing, and the hunt does not always pay up promptly. So here was a fine point in sporting etiquette to be settled. The farmer had shot a fox. He did not deny i t In fact, he pre ferred to throw out his chest with pride, as if in defiance of all the un written laws of British sport. “Now, custom from time imme morial has decreed that the fox shall be as safe from gun and trap as if he were sacred. He belongs to the houfids and must be allowed to roam through the coven and farm yards at will, devouring what may happen in his way. Custom, too, demands that the hunt shall pay the damages. The hunt generally pays, though in innumerable cases the secretary is well aware that he ia being swindled. “But this particular farmer said he had hunted for many years him self and had never made a claim for lost hens. A year or two ago, how ever, a fox had paid a nocturnal visit to his fowl yard and had played havoc with the feathered denizens. A night or two after it happened again. A third time the fox came around and made a most deplorable mesa of a lot of fine Wyandotte« and some expensive Buff .Orping tons. “Then the farmer wrote to the hunt secretary and asked for dam ages. The reply was that the claim would be attended to shortly, and at Christmas the settlement came in the form of—a ham. Thereupon the farmer declared war on all foxes and killed them ruthlessly. And this was the point which puzzled the farmers on Saturday night. Vim Crawford shot a fox last year/ said one of the men, ‘and no good has come to him since. It ain't lucky and it ain’t sportsman like; Let 'em kill your hens. That’s what, they are there for, and if one hunt secretary ia mean there are a hundred who are generous.’ “There you have it. Sport is sport and its roles are adamant. It must, however, be put to the credit •f British hunt clubs that they d millions of pounds a year in land, Wales and Ireland for the upkeep of the sport. “Think of the hunters that are bred and sold annually, the packs of hounds, the huntsmen, the stable people, Hie dozens of hangers on who .make a living out of it! With out the hounds certain districts of England would be depopulated. Leicestershire and the midland counties would be almost impover ished if a law were suddenly put in force to make an end to the rich man’s pastime. Country houses in nonhunting districts may be had al most for the price of a cottage in Leicestershire, whereas in the Quom and Pytchlev country a coun try honse ia as expensive, if not more so, than a London mansion. Instead of diminishing, hunting has grown in popular favor.” Builders and Contractors Quality in material is essential to Satisfaction. We Keep It In Stock B E S A T IS F IE D The Chas. K.

It tss Just ss the curtain was be ing rung up that kind hearted Mrs. Grey suddenly remembered the in quiry that she had intended to make about a sick neighbor. She leaned back and accosted Mrs. Bascom, who had just moved in next door to the sick friend. “Can you tell me,” she queried hastily, “how old Mrs. Davis is?” A puzzled and reflective look stole over the face of Mrs. Bascom as she turned for a whispered con sultation with a third lady, directly behind her. Presently she bobbed back to ward Mrs. Grey, her forehead puck ered. “I really am not quite cer tain,” she reported apologetically,, “but I believe she is at least seven ty-five.”—Harper’s Weekly.
