A pawnbroker in the neighb borhood

some very funny experiences during

Last night a man called at the same

one OF the finest lots in Lcnibardy
Cemetery, but the broker refused to al
low him anything on it. The owner
of'the lot pleaded hard for a loan. and
stated that he would dispose OF the
deed at almost any price. as he wal

FRENCH CAVE DWELLERS.
How They Utilize the Formation I'm
der Vineyards in Their
Dwellings,.

There is often very valuable vineyard
land in France that has to be walled
round and every portion economical
What is done is this: The owner digs
quarry in the surface; this forms
sort of pit, accessible on one side, the
sandstone taken from this being en-
ployed to wall around his property.
Then, for his own dwelling, he cuts out
chambers in the rock under his vine
yard, looking through windows and a
door into the quarry hole. For a chin
ney he bores upward and then builds
around the opening a square block of
masonry, out of which the smoke es-
capes. a whole village, or rather ham
let, may therefore consist of-as far
as one can see-nothing but a series of
chimneys standing on the ground
among the vines. If one desires to dis
cover the inha bitants of the village or
hamlet one must descend into the pits
or quarries, into which doors and win
dows look
very singular settlement is that of
Ely. in the valley of the Eure, at the
extreme limit of the department of that
name. About kilometer from the
village, along the side of the railway,
are numerous subterranean habta-
tions in three stories. with platforms
before them which are horizontal.
These were the dwellings of the owners
of the vines which at one time covered
the hill overhead. But these vineyards
failed and the dwellings were aban-
doned. However, after their abandon
ment it was customary at times FOR the
villagers to resort TO them for drink
ing and dancing bouts. This tradition
continues still in force and on Easter
Tuesday these cave dwellings are Wis
tied and there is merrymaking in Them.
Between the caves al one time some lit
lie tayerns had been erected, but these
also fell into ruin some 40 or so wears
ago.
The dwellers in caves in France have
very ingenious method of preserving
from damp such things ds are liable to
injury by contact with the walls. They
suspend them from the roof in baskets,
and, indeed, all clothing is so hung.
Little holes like inverted bottles are cut
in the rock, then a stick with piece
of string attached to the middle is
thrust through the small orifice, the
string is drawn tight and the stick
lies athwart the opening. To this they
hang what they need to keep dry. There
is certainly one advantage in these
subterranean dwellings-they are de-
liciously cool in summer and are warm
in winter. The people of the district
greatly prefer them to ordinary houses.
and they do not seem to be unhealthy

Nonsense About Centers.

ss1~HE East will remain the cen
ter of ideas, the West the
center of power" So says
the Brooklyn Eagle; and in saying
this the Brooklyn organ sputters non
sense. No nation can have, geographi-
cally one center of ideas and another
center of power. Then, too, as COM
pared with each other, there is no East
or West in this country where the
monopoly lies either of ideas or of
power.
OF course, there are distinctions
instance, the East yields more readily
than the West to the reign of political
bosses. During the past few months a
man insignificant by almost every test
has managed the great city where the
Eagle lives as completely as J. J. Hill
manages the Great Northern railroad.
Herein is a display of public sluggish
ness in the East which finds no counter
part anywhere in the West.
There is no such thing, in any intelli-
b,
ling as a contrast with a center of
power. Egypt is a center of ideas, SO
is China, in the same sense that our
East is, if the distinction the Brooklyn
Eagle attempts to draw has any mean
ing or any merit. In truth, the Eagles
remark is mere meaningless phrasing.
1t might possibly be claimed, if any
comparison runs, as between this coun-
try's sections, that the West Is more
distinctively center of action than
so very much
The one vital fact is as the Standard
has remarked now and then, that, talk
ing American citizenship all in all, the
East is deplorably ignorant of the West
while the West has general acquaint-
ance with the East The percentage
of citizens living east Of Pittsburg who,
by personal experience, know anything
about the part of the United States
west of Chicago is very small indeed;
whereas. the percentage of western
citizens who are acquainted with most
of the region between the Golden Gate
and Sandy Hook is very large.
The fact is that, if we admit that the
Brooklyn Eagle means anything at all
when it says that 1.-THE East will remain
the center of IDEAS the qualification
must be added that the West will re-
main the center of good deal broader
ideas if the East fails to learn as
much about all our country as the
West already knows.
