Stolen Watches Not Pawned in Paris.


OF watches alone there are received
at Mont-de-piete and the twenty-five
branch offices from 1000 to 1900 day,
about $4,000 in a year, the average
loan on a watch being thirty or forty
francs. The official assured Inc that In
this great number of watches scarcely
one in 1000 has been stolen, the fact
being that people who have come dis.
honestly by watches or other property
fight shy of the Mont-de-piete. The
reason of this was presently made
plain as we watched the formalities OF
record, and I realized h/w difficult 1t
would be for any one to do business
here under a concealed identity. Ey.
cry client receiving a loan greater than
fiften francs must produce some Of
fetal document-an insurance policy, a
citizens voting card, a permit to carry
arms or rent receipt bearing his
signature and throwing light upon his
station in life. For loans under fifteen
francs the client is simply required to
show an envelope sent through the
mails to his address. All these facts
with various others. arc duly inscribed
upon huge record sheets, so that who
ever deals with the Mont-de-piete ex-
poses himself to q scrutiny that must
be ungrateful to folks of shady ante
cedents. Indeed, certain persons make
this a grievance against the Mont-de-
piete, and declare the Paris system
an impertnent intrusion upon clients
privacy, which would seem a point
badly taken If the client is an honest
man.-Century Magazine.

The Life of Love.

Francis Paget describes the transfor-
nation wrought by the wondrous power
of love, as follows:
Love is life, and lovelessness is death.
As the grace of God changes a mans heart
and cleanses and sanctties him, this is
the great evidence of the change, this is
the great difference which it makes; that
he begins to grow in love, to lay aside self
seeking, and to live for others-and so he
may know that he has passed from death
unto life. He may know it even here and
now-yes, that great discovery of love,
that yearning to live for others and feel
ing. the grace and gentleness that God
is keeping up all over the world-even now
it changes homes, it lightens every burden,
it brings peace and gladness into the hard
est days; it alters even the tone of a
mans voice, and the very look of his face.
But all this, blessed and SURPRISING as it
is, far above all else in the world, still is
but the beginning. For that life into
which we pass, as Gods dear grace of love
comes in US and about us, is the very life
of Heauen ~

Mountain Creepinr Westward.

California has creeping mountain, and
it has cost something like 81 ,000, 900 to find
it cut. Santa susanna Mountain has been
for cutoff line between Los Angeles and
San Francisco. As track-laying was about
to begin it was discovered that the tunnel
sides were bulging. Heavy braces and ee:
ment were tried, but forced asunder By
the creeping monster. A portion of the
mountain is composed of shale, and it is
this that is making trouble. Careful OBJ
servation shows that this portion is slowly
travelling westward. like a mighty stone
river, moving toward the Pacific. The
stratum dips oceanward, caused by Dig
placement somewhere in the unfathomabie
depths OF the earth.

all who are prosecuted for My sake. Re-

courage. The blessings always stand good.

makes them stand good for us?-Cora 8.

were not 60 rich in natural gifts as they
were abundant in labors. Everybody is
well enough endowed. The least we have
is one talent: which, if it be rightly used,
will suffice for our energies and fill the
measure Of laudable ambition.
Everybody is good for something; no.
body IS necessarily good for nothing. The
man with one talent has some power. We
do not refer to his attributes, though these
may be admirable; he may have faculties
which are more or less notable; he may
have memory, imagination, various gifts
which perhaps he does not suspect But
he has finer talent to be man-the tai

age for maintaining principle, of honesty
and sturdlness for work; he has talent

By the grace of God he may hope to be
something and do something, and he is in
honor bound to make large exactions Of
himself. He may never take his place

be known far outside of the small circle of
his home and his shop, but everybody who
tries to do his duty. in his own station,
whose influence, be it much or little, is on
Gods side in the combat between good
and evil is public benefactor, and his
name, though almost unknown here, is
written in heavens book of worthless.
It is impossible to acquit the man with
one talent who hid the divine gift. His
wrong was not the misuse or the abuse,
but the non-use, of his personal force. He
does not belong to the category Of the vic
tins, he is not chargeable with iniquities
which suggest that there. may. be some
truth after all in the DID, discarded notion
of the total depravity of human nature,
and yet the Lord says to him. thou
