PAVYNBROkERS.

Iii somewhat singular that the arms of family
which exerted profound influence upon the history
and ciyilizscn of the world, should be perpetusted
as the symbol Of one of the most despised occupations
of the present day. We refer TO the three golden
balls adopted by Cosmo dc Medci, the successor Of
Lorenzo the Magnificent, and now used as sign by
almost every pawnbroker in the world. Successive
ages contributed to enhance the glory of the Medici-
originating in the age of Charemsgne, and tracing
genealogical descent which occupies the proudest
niche in Italian history, this degradation of their
arrnorial emblem would seem inexpIcabIe, but for q
bref explanation afforded by Pohtisn. Thus, II is
said among the low and vicious classes of Florence
the Medici had innumerable enemies and defamers.
II was one of them who charged that by the death Of
Balthazer Corsa John XIII Cosmo gained his i'm
mense wealth; and it was perhaps less vindictiye,
though more jealous enemy, who suggested to the
irst founders ofthe Mont di Pta in 1913 the adoption
as sign of that quartering Of the hediei arms which
bore reference 70 the aluence of that house. Sane.
toned as charitable institution by Leo Y, and afer-
ward in part sustained by him. this linking the great
ness of his family with mean calling may be re-
earded az but poor for his munifcent charity.
We have stated that the Mont d Pieta was estsb-
lished By Leo Y but authorities differ to whether il
was during the reign of that Pontif or of Paul III
that this benevolent Institution originated. Its
object was to lend money 10 necessitous people at
moderate interest, in not exceeding thirty Roman
scudi, about twenty five dollars to each person. Inc
money was loaned for term Of eighteen MONTHS, d.
the expiration of which term, the capital lent ana ~
terest was not paid, the pledges were solo, an1 Ie
surplus money after paying the debt incurIed was
restored to the owners. The Mont dc f,eie wa M
troduced in Amsterdam in 1906 Augsoalsu lo'l'
