Jubilee years were 1.ov, 1S,a and 1873. In

students of the question having come to the
conclusion that because of the abuse de-
scribed not 80 per cent of the money could
possibly reach the real unfortunates.
Tries to He Pleased.
asked NJ. Santos-Dumont recently about
it. why did not they tell me all this be-
fore?" was his answer. Then he added:
Still, if 80 per cent of my money reached
the poor honest people 1 had hoped to re
lieve l will be satisfied. 1t is about the
usual proportion in organized charities
isn't it," he concluded, smiling mirthlessly
Suppose he had handed the $4,000 francs
over to the public assistance. They would
have put it at interest, to produce 2,25O
francs per year! Deducting expenses, there
would possibly be 1.75o francs year to
divide among the official poor of twenty
wards of Paris-or 81 francs (S1) for each
ward! Now, as the scandals of the public
assistance-neglect, favoritism, multiplica-
ton of salaries and mania for investment
are even greater than the scandals of the
Mont-de-Piete, perhaps Santos has not
done so badly after all.
When the Mont-de-Piete was lending
money on jeweed handmade watches,
hand-carved silverware, precious stones and
artistic furniture, in the days of Louis XVI,
the services of the sworn valuers of the
Seine were necessary to it. 1t was their Of
flee to appreciate the value of hand work
as well as of material. Half a century ago
official sloth and routine had substituted
red-tape rules in the place of this intellec-
tual labor. Thus for 1S-karat gold the es
timation is francs per gram. Mere
weight is all that counts. For objects in
silver, no matter what their beauty, orig
nality or finish, the estimate is so francs
per kiogram.
In the past six months the sworn valuers
attached to the Mont-de-Piete were paid
100000 francs for this intelligent work of
charged against them amounted to but 10,
600 francs, the major part of which came
from two celebrated jewelry frauds by
which they had allowed themselves to be
grossly deceived, Therefore," argues M.
Jean Coily, ito cover loss of 10000 francs
the Mont-de-Piete administration pays out
2IS,OO0 francs. We may compare this way
of proceeding to an Insurance contract In
which the premium to be paid is twenty
seven times greater than the risk insured
against
Another Industry.
For borrowers of another class the we'll
known lack of liberality of the Mont-de-
Piete has developed a very curious indus
try. One night last week as we sat huddled
in an obscure corner of the Cafe-de- Paris
regarding with respectful admira ton the

to be their value on the spot. The same
night he will express them to the London
loan office and by the next evening he can
hand the grateful girl the London pawn
ticket and the balance of the money"
and the arfstocratic young men?"
1T often takes long time to find a for
eign heiress. When a man Of noble name
and connections has spent all the family
money that his father did not get away
with and has borrowed up to his particular
limit little deal in jewelry now and then
may prove a godsend. Young men of noble
