through talking about the appearance of
NJ. Mesia of the Spanish Legation the
other evening at a ball in knee breeches,
silk stockings, and silver buckles at knee
, andinstep, There was much speculation
as to who'he was. One thought he might
have just come from a fancy ball, an
other thought he might be a star actor
from one of the theatres, and, worst of
all, he was taken fora butler and told to
bring more terrapin to staircase group.

have seventeen different and distinct
kinds, each with its separate cult, creed,

PICTURESQUE JAPAN.


An Empire which In Spring and summer
seems One Huge Garden.
The spring and summer in Japan is
full of picturesque beauty, and yields
an atmosphere of delightful comfort.
The skies drop gladness, and the earth
teens with loveliness. Its garden pic
lures are changing as kaleidoscope.
The terracel hill-sides, rank with ver-
dure, vie with wheat fields bending
meath their load of grain; some just cut
and supplanted by rice, in fields flooded
with water, while others, green with
the tender shoots. are ready for trans
planting. When the seasons are un-
usually dry nothing is left to suffer.
The reservoirs are so large, and the ir-
rigatng system so complete, that
Japan's wondrous garden smiles on
beneath scorching rays.
The trees of Japan are II wonder.

pie, bell-shaped flowers; also the mag

Tho cherry and plum trees are culti-
waited solely for their blossoms, and
are trees of rare beauty. The former

FRENCH PAWN-SHOPS.



Years Ago in France.
Outside of the national institution
pawn-broking is prohibited in France.
A man was recently caught who car
ried on a successful business by buying
up pawn tickets, and he will in due
course be punished.
The pawnshop is an ancient institu-
tion. As early as 1893 one was estab-
lished at LIcge.
In the year 1909 several establish
ments called Mont di Pieta were
started in Italy under the care and
protection of the church, in opposition
to the jews, who even at this remote
period seem to have embarked in the
old clothes and money-lending busi-
ness.
All the early Mont di Pieta were
connected with churches or hospitals,
and were Il species of charitable banks
which charged no interest.
In 1889 the Lombards began to run
pawnshops in opposition to the Jews,
in Lombardy and in Holland; but from
the presence of the jew and the three
brass balls in the same house it would
seem that the two had amalgamatcd
at some period in their history.
The Monte di Pieta was long of be-
ing established in France, chiefly owing
to the oppression of M. De La
Reynie, chief of the police in
Paris Numerous projects were
put forward during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. but
they fell through, though Colbert and
other prominent statesmen favored
them. In l705 the Council of Finance
declared it would be to the "Glory of
God, the service of the state and the
public interest" were Monts dc Pieto
established. Necker took the same
view, and protested against the conduct
OF avaricious Jews and others who
practiced on the cupidity Of the public
and successfully fleeced them.
1t was not until December, l777, that
Louis XIV. sanctioned the Monts de
Piete. Soon after this the first was
opened at Paris. 1t was under the
charge of the chief of police and four
administrators of the general hospital.
The rate of interest charged was 81 and
44 per cent. The concern was a ire-
mendous success. In the year 1888
there were 100000 different articles
pawned
At the time of the revolution the
Mont de Piete was suppressed on the
ground that it was monopoly, and
Immediately the Jews and the Lom-
bards stepped in and carried on flour
ishing business.
The republic. considering the condi-
ton of things ''intolerable," re-estab-
lished the Mont de Piete after five
years, and with slight tchanges now and
then in the administration, it has con-
tinued ever since with increasing sue

Statistics of Blindness.

The worlds blind are computed to
number about 100000, or about one
sightless person to every l,400 inhab-
itants. In Austria. one person in
every 1875 is blind in Sweden, one in
every 1,41S; in France, one in every
l,i9l; in Prussia, one in every Iii;
in England, one in every l,0S7.
The proportion is greatest in Egypt,
where, in Cairo, there is one blind
person to every twenty inhabitants;
while in New Zealand il falls to one in
every $3.50 inhabitants. Germany has
the greatest number of institutions for
the blind, thirty-fve; England has
sixteen France, thirteen Austria
Hungary, ten; Italy, nine; Belgium,
six; Australia, two, while America,
Asia and Africa together are said to
possess only six.-Arkansas0 Irareier.

Where the purling waters CLEAN.
Nhere the grass was wild and Gank,
Growing on the sheltered bank,

But II catch one with this ily,

Summer buds were sere and dead,
and the roses all had fed.
And the grasses on the bank

But the man was 5 ting there
sitting with Il ghostly stare;
All h locks were white and gray,

Bent beneath his many years,
Sad with foods of briny tears,

Onward few the silent years
Years of anguish and of tears;
Centuries had passed away
Since that man went forth one day
To the strenmlet's Inossy bank,
Where the grass was wild and dank,

COurthOuse Notes,

Business In the Recorders Office at the
present time is very dull, especially in
conveyances Of town property; neverthe-
less Recorder Beard is kept busy record
ing duplicate notices from outside mining
districts. He reports that he has received
since the first of January n mining locs-
tions from this source, which in itself
proves that prospectors are not idle.
The following co~nveyances were placed
on record February 10: John s. Capron,
for and In consideration of $3.50, conveys
to John Tore and Charles Barbierre lot

NEVADA.

The Mining Interests Not waning.
The ~ reports from stations along the
overland road In the State OF Nevada
makes it apparent that the ssgebrush State
is in q more prosperous condition than oc.
casional newspaper paragraphs have led
the people to suppose. While IL ia mani.
fest that in some sections the mining in
terests are falling behind those OF stock
raising, yet there are unquestionably
many good mines still operated and much
prospecting, from which there are reasons
to hope for good results. The cattle, sheep
and wool shipments from Nevada this year
will foot up large values. The agricultu.
raj interests are growing and it is not q
wild prediction to say that a State once
valued for its grazing properties will one
day become noted for its agricultural, hor.
ticultursl and vi.icultursl products. The
two things essential to the attsinment OF
this end are water and people. Experience
proves that artesian flows are easily OBJ
tanned on the mountains, fringed plains
aud valleys. The reports supply the facts
to show that the mining / interests Of Ne.
vsda are not waning. while all other legiti-
mate pursuits are growing In volume and
importance. So says the San Francisco
Post.
