Pawn Tickets Reckoned ny BrokerO
as Part of the Assured Profits.
The fact that pawnbrokers probably
make larger profits on the money they
invest than any other business led the
Charity Organization Society of Now
York to establish Il Mont de Plete of
It's own, for the purpose of making
loans TO poor persons at reasonable
rates of interest, II has not been Il
great success. There Is less red tape
and exasperating questioning at pro,
fessional pNwnbroker's, and therefore
poor folks prefer TO trade with them.
The pawnbroker's plea has always
been that when the cost of storage Is
added to the loss sustained through UNI
redeemed pledges but little Is left to
them OF the "a per cent. Il year which
the law permits them to exact, That
part of their plea relaung to unre-
deemed pledges Is merely blind to
hide their real profits,
Isaac Simpson, who by the same to-
ken is the original Of the thirty-one
Original Simpsons in the pawnbrok-
ing trade, said to an Advertiser re-
porter my rule in life il never to tell
lie, What made in my business is
no ones business but my own, Yet II
any man in my line says unredcemed
pledges are not the chief source Of
profit then he Is liar Yes, that sui
eide In whose pockets were yesterday
found eighteen pawn tickets" said Mr.,
Simpson, "made the man who issued
them just that much richer A suicide
without pawn tickets on his person Is
such rarity that we have come to
credit about II per cent to that source
When the papers report that suicide
had pawn tickets, an agent of the Ass0-
ciated Pawnbrokers learns and reports
by whom they were issued, Such
pledges are seldom redeemed. AnOth-
er curious fact about our business Is
that the chance is about one IN ten that
pledge will be redeemed after the
ticket has passed from first hands
They seem to anticipate trouble IL they
offer to redeem pledge other than our
own, SO, you see, the pnwnbroker Is
about the only one that can count on or
gets richer by men killing themselves

CHAT ABOUT Wells.

They Are Expensive and Sometimes
Unhealthy LuXuries.
Dearer to the average woman than
any other dress items are her wells. 1t
is to these she looks for the finishing
touches of her toilet, and with we'll.
stocked veil box at hand she has no
fear Of unbecoming street rigs.
Wells have been declared ruinous TO
the eyeslght, and certain kinds have by
no means Il good effect upon the skin,
but for all this woman regards them as
her especial gowning rights, and will
deny herself Il notion here and there
if she can indulge in the latest yelling
whimS of the hour.
There is no doubt about It, good veil
ing shows for itself. II would ust0nish
many of the brethren to learn how
much the modish bit Of game or net
that screens feminine features costs
per yard. EXpensiveY Oh dear, yes,
and so the fair one who has gathered
together from time TO time quite Il col
lection of wells is anxious to keep them
in the best possible shape.
When my lady starts for a mornings
shopping she usually draws over her
face Il substantial veil Of sewing silk,
either in black, brown, white or dark
blue The airy, butterfly fancles in
tulle and lace she lays aside for less
practical occasions. The sewing silk is
Il great skin protector; that IL, to a GER
tain extent, 1t prevents the dust from
sitting into the wearer's poresas fan

well, but meantime the veil takes up
the flying particles Of dirt and holds
them. Therefore If the veil is laid

IA WOMAN'S HEART.
ONE DISEASE THAT BATTLES
THE PHYSICIAN.
Tho story Of Woman Who Suffered
for Nine Years She Was Cured.

(From the Newark, N. j., Evening News)
Valyular disease Of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
interview, therefore, will interest the medi-
cal profession since 1t describes the success
full use Of new treatment for this disease.
The patient is Mrs. Geo. Archer of Clifton,
N. j., and this publication by the News is
the first mention made Of the case by any
newspaper. All physicians consulted pro-
nounced the patient suffering with valvu-
lar disease Of the heart, and treated her
without the slightest relief. Mrs Archer
said: ~ could not walk across the floor;
neither could go up stairs without stop

mother showed me an account in the

mother urged me to try the pills and on
November 25 last bought box and began
taking them, and have taken them ever
since, except for a short interval. The
first box did not seem to benefit me, but |
persevered, encouraged by the requests Of
my relatives. After beginning on the sec

right ear ceased entirely. | kept right on
and the distress that used TO feel in my
, chest and arm gradually disappeared, The
blood has returned TO my face, lips and
ears, which were entirely devoid Of color,
and feel well and strong again.

gastritis and induced him TO try the Pink
Pills, with great benefit feel that every
body ought to know Of my wonderful cure
and bless God that l have found some
thing that has given me this great relief"
DR. Williams Pink Pills are now given
to the public as an unfailing blood builder
and nerve restorer, curing all forms of
weakness arising from a watery condition

the troubles peculiar to females, such as

Mahogany RontIe.

1t is still a question whether wood
or stone is the more durable for
street pavements, The laying down
OF mahogany roadways sounds almost
like a dream OF Oriental magniticence,
but Paris is making the venture.
A portion of that lnterminable
thoroughfare, the Rue Lafayette, has
been pulled up and relaid with real
Brazilian mahogany Of a peculiarly
fine texture and color. 1t is con-
fessedly an experiment, as the ma
hogany is dearer than the woods Or
dinarlly used for the purpose Of street.

The cost Of the new roadway will
be fifty francs a square metre, which
is less than ten dollars a square yar1.
1t Is expected that the extra outlay
incurred will be more than compen-
stated for by greater durability.

TO MAKE TEA BY ELECTRICITY.

New Application of the Wonderful
Fluid to Drawing Room Uses.
A firm of London silversmiths has
produced an electric teakettle, which is
said to have considerable vogue in Lon.
don drawing-rooms.
The primary and very appreciable
attraction of the electric kettle Is its
absolute cleanliness. There are, of
course no fumes of any kind from the
electric light which is used to produce
the heat and therefore the process of
using the kettle Is absolutely clean
Nor Is the simplicity of the new kettle
and its method of use any less admira-
bic than its perfect cleanliness. 1t Is
only necessary to attach the cord in
which the electric wires are inclOsed to
any connection which may be fitted up
in Il room for lighting purposes, and
the apparatus Is in working order in Il
moment. The kettle. which is very
shapely and agreeable production, is
made in such way that when it IL
filed with water and placed upon the
stand in which is the electric lamp, il
can be tilted up and the water poured
from it without the necessity Of re-
moving it from the stand, and by this
means the risk Of scalding the hands or
of spilling the water is avoided The
lamps with which these kettles are fit
ted are of varying powers, ranging
from eight to tifty-candle power, the
most useful size which is generally
