The Famous MOnt-de-Piete Of Paris and
How 1t Is Conducted.

The Famous MOnt-de-Piete OF Paris and
How 1t Is Conducted.
The Mort-dc-Ptete is a private institution
under State supervision, and it's admins
tratlon, says the Epoch, Is placed under the
control of the Minister of the Interior and
the Project of the Seine. The director is
appointed by the Minister, and is assisted
in his duties by council composed of various
city officials. Besides one general headquar-
tiers, there are two large branch offices and
twenty-one smaller ones scattered over the
city. The Mont-de Pete has no fixed capital,
no endowments and no subsidies, and yet it
does business of over $1S, 0O0, 600 year. The
way 1t accomplishes the miracle is to borrow
with one hand and lend with the other
1t issues each year, according to its needs,
two and one-half and II rec per cent. bonds,
and they are considered such good invest
ments that the company often refuses
offers of capital from persons who wish to
lend. All the reserve fund of the Coincide
FRANCHISE is placed in these bonds. The
Government pawnshop accepts as pledge
every thing in the way of personal property
except paper securities, stocks, bonds, etc
Its smallest loan beng sixty cents, it neces-
sarily receives an astonishing variety OF
objects; one day it accepted thewooden leg
OF cripple who was hard up.
The frequenters of the MOnt-de- Picte are
composed Of all classes, from the poor devil
for whom the pawnshop is the last resource
to the high-born lady of the Eau bourg Saint
German, who, in a moment OF temporary
! deche, sends her jewels to her aunt" by her
chambermaid. II you look into one of the
branch offices you will see representatives
"of all social strata, but 1t is evident that you
will find more seamstresses than Duchesses,
and more working-men than bankers. 1t is
not only the really poor who avail them
selves Of the facility offered by the Govern
ment pawnshops; among the most frequent
borrowers are the short-sighted and giddy
persons who raise money for the purpose of
having lark now and then. Small trades
people are also good customers, and when
they have notes to pay or are in need of
ready money they do not hesitate to pledge
their merchandise even their wife's best
cloak
Every borrower must prove his identity
by papers, such as an electors card, 3 rent
bill, tax receipt or some other kind of official
document Once these proofs are accepted,
tue MOni-de-Piste is not amenable to prose-
cution for having received stolen property.
The loan Is made for one year, but the
pledges are usually kept fourteen months II
not redeemed. The borrower can renew his
loan at the end of each year as often as he
likes by paying the interest at the rate of
seven per cent. and expenses Of storage,
etc. There are objects in the MoNt-5e-P Pete
which have been renewed year after year

to Chicago Herald reporter, land one of
the funniest circumstances that can recall
happened last Friday night. was running
up the Milwaukee road a few hundred
miles, and when left Sioux City my only
fellow-passengers were an old man and his
wife, who occupied the lower section across
from me. They had their berth made up
early and soon retired. guess it was the
FIRST time they had ever Travelled on q sleep
er by the way they acted, for they were
pretty awkward about undressing, and I
heard the old lady lecture her husband for
not getting q larger room. After much
mutual grumbling all was quiet, and then
came deep snore accompanied by one
trifle more subdued. 1t was evident the
old people were asleep.
cat Manila Junction large party came
in and taxed the sleeper to its full capa-
city. The porter had to remove the bag
gage Of the couple, which was slowed
above them, and assigned the berth TO a
little inofensive citizen, weighing about 100
pounds He removed his shoes and was
climbing into the bunk when the old lady
woke up and began screaming. This
aroused her husband and he yelled for the
porter, who came running down the aisle.
Say, there's a man just come into our
room,' the old gentleman gasped out The
porter tried to explain that he would not
| annoy them, and had q right to be there
But neither would believe this, and the old
man declared that the porter had let him
in to rob them. He was also indignant to
think any one should be allowed In the
same compartment as his wife, and finally
he and the old lady got up and dressed,
and insisted on the porter removing the
bedding from their berth so they could use
the seats.

them both sitting there nodding, but every
few minutes they would suddenly remem-

was not lacking in pathos, for they were

AN ALABAMA GARDEN.

Along a pine-clsd hill it lies,
Overlooked by limpid Southern skies
a SPOT TO feast fairy's eyes,
nook for happy fancies.
The wild bee mellow monotone
Here blends with bird-notes zephyr blown.
And many an insect voice unknown
The harmony enhances.
The roses shattered splendor fees
With lavish grace on every breeze,
And lilies sway with fiexile ease
Like dryads snowy-breasted;
And where gardenias browse between
Rich curving leaves Of glossy green,
The cricket strikes his tam BOURNE,
Amid the moses nested.
Here dawn-fushed myrtles interlace,
And sifted sunbeams shyly trace
Frail arabesques whose shifting grace
Is wrought Of shade and simmer;
At eventide scents quaint and rare
Go straying through my garden fair,
AS II they sought with 'wildered air
The flrefl es' htful glimmer.
Oh, could some painters facile brush
On canvas linn my gardens blush,
The fevered world Its din would hush
To crown the high endeavor;
Or could poet snare in rhyme
The breathings OF this balmy cline
His fame might dare the dart OF time
And soar undimmed foreveri
