KIFOURPS WHIRLING ART
Trained by Priest Until He Could
Dance Two Hours.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
When Ameer Abouhamad supports ten
men on his shoulders, and the rest of his
Arab troupe are turning surprising somer-
saults, at the Wild West show, Alexander
Kifouri, "the whirling dervish," goes
round and round on broad platform
three feet square. Kifouri begins to
dance the moment the Arabs dismount
from their horses. The audience gives a
short laugh OF amusement at the absurd
figure he makes; then waits eXpectantly.
But he does not change, and the eyes of
the spectators turn to Abouhamad and his
troupe. Kifouri goes round and round.
When the tumbling and acrobatic con-
tortions have taken up their allotted fif-
teen minutes, Kifouri whirls faster and
faster, then stops suddenly, motionless,
with outstretched arms. He does not fall
from exhaustion, but turns "cartwheels''
over the tanbark, out through the canvas
up to the stables, where he discards his
flowing white skirt for scarlet breeches
and mounts a horse, to ride in the race
of nations"
When Kifouri goes out to walk, he is
dressed in English clothes and wears a
flaming red cravat and derby hat rakish-
ly tilted on one side of his head. Some
times he will talk about his employment.
Il learn to Whirl when l was a leetle

A NATIONS LOAN OFFICE
The Operation of PaWnshOps In the
City of Mexico.
New York Evening Post.


The question Of paWnshops in Mexico
really affects the prosperity of the peo-
pie, as with a majority the pledging OF
articles is not an incident in their lives
but the most natural thing to be done tc
meet an emergency. The act Is repeated
as often as the need of a little extra
money arises. A multitude of families
among the poorer and middle classes live
in this way-never knowing what it is tc
be free from state of bondage.
Answering the demand for such loans
an abnormal number of pawnghops ex-
ist in the City of Mexico, and over the
entire republic. From IS to 20 per cent
is demanded. At regular intervals adver-
tisements appear in the daily papers an
nouncing that in certain pawnshops the
articles must be redeemed or they will be
placed on sale.
That rateros, as Mexicon pickpockets
are called, find a ready way to raise
money on their spoils in these places Is
eertain, and the police are given author
ity to make thorough raids when neces-
sary A government pawnshop, the Ma
cional Monte de Piedad," was founded IN
1775 by the rich and kind-hearted Pedro
Romero de Terreros, count of Regia, own
er of the famous old mines of Real del
Monte Seeing the suffering endured by
many worthy people for the lack of small
sums of money, he endowed this institu-
tion with $500, 600. TO give credit on
small sums of money at the lowest pos
sible rate of interest, to the very poor
has proved a good work. The capital has
increased to 1,750, 900 in round numbers.
In 1888 81, ,1530S1 was loaned; in 1899
SO. 200, 900, and the loans for 1900 were half
a million more.
In spite of the crisis through which it
passed a few years ago, so firm is Its
basis and so great the confidence inspired
by the honesty Of it's administration that
in 1900 the personal deposits in the saw
ings department were $6OO,O0O.
From its origin and conditions the
Monte de Piedad has not been able to aid
the poorer classes of people. The neces-
sity for having loans perfectly secured
admits Of its receiving only articles OF
a determined value, on which only such
moderate sums may be loaned as may be
lost without evil effect il the owner falls
to redeem The national government
and the administration of the institution
have tried several times to extend the
benefits to the very poor, and at one time,
several years ago. established branches in
the principal parts of the city. In them
the loan was made easier of accomplish
ment though the rate of interest was
higher. On account of the crisis referred
to. these branches or sucur- sales were
withdrawn. One by one they have been
re-established until now there are four in
widely separated parts of the city.
Notwithstanding these national pawn
shops the ordinary shops, Empeno y Ba-
zar. flourish by extending loans on the
most insignificant articles conceivable,
demanding to the last centavo the high
est rate to be gotten from the miserable
creatures who will pawn anything, no
matter how necessary to the family, in
order to get drink, or to have few cen
tavos to gamble with. Rules are made
