MANILA CHURCH PAWNsHoP
An Institution Which Aids Laboring
Classes at Moderate In
terest

A dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American from Manila says:
There are but few Americans in this
country who are aware of the utility
and scope OF the Institution estab-
lished in Plaza Goiti, and known as
the Monte de Piedad. The institution
Is generally known as a church pawn
shop, and such it is; but that is not
its only function 1t is also a savings
bank, in which depositors may lay
aside. without the least fear of losing
their hard-earned savings, any sum
from half peso upward, and said
deposits earning interest at the rate
Of four per cent. per annum.
The Monte de Piedad and the saw
ings bank form one single benefcent
institution. The object of the pawn
broking department is to loan money
to the needy on objects of gold and
silver, precious stones and jewelry at
moderate rate Of interest. eight per
cent. per annum.
The object of the savings bank is to
receive and make productive the saw
ings of the laboring classes by CIV
ing depositors an annual interest OF
four per cent. upon the amounts de-
posted, employing the sums deposited
and the interest gained in the opera
tions Of the pawnbroking department

ton.
While the institution is an exclu-
sively Catholic one, and, therefore, IN
der the direct control of the arch
bishop Of Manila, its operations are
open to the use OF the general public.
Thousands OF natives and Spaniards
of all walks in life patronize the es-
tablishment, depositing therein jew
elry for which they receive good value,
the article pawned being valued by ex-
perts according to the intrinsic value
Of the material contained therein. Any
article thus pawned can be left in
pawn for the period of one year, the
pledges being renewable at the eX-
piration of that period At the end of

the pledge is sold by public auction,
and the money derived from the sale
IS held at the disposition of the pledg-
er for period of ten yeHrs, after
which 1t becomes part of the general
funds of the Institution When the
article Is sold liquidation is made;
the amount of the loan on the object,
the interest due and FIVE per cent. Of
the difference between the loan, the
interest and the product Of the sale
are paid the owner, and the difference
resulting between this product and
the three items mentioned is paid to
the owner, Thus. If a watch is
pawned for 20 pesos and sells after
a year for 80, out Of the ten pesos
over and above the amount loaned the
owner receives all but the eight per

exists between the amount loaned and
the interest it bears and the pricd at

cAssEL's ART COLLECTION
German Town Has a Number Of Pic

Cassel is perhaps the only town m
Germany with a distinctly American
chapter in its history. and yet il is
seldom visited by Americans, writes
Grace S. II. Tytus, in Where Prince
Played in St Nicholas.
Once upon a time there lived in Cas-
sci the Landgrave Frederick II. 81
Hesse. He seemed to have been 4
very amiable sort of prince. with a level.
practical head on his shoulders. He
loved his capital city. lying in the noun
tain-cradle plain, and he could look out
OF his palace windows any fine morning
over the waters of the Fulda, which
wound its lazy threads under the city
walls. He divided his time between Inn
proving the town and amusing himself.
In Cassel. broad squares were laid out.
streets cut, and buildings erected, while
up on the hills at the castle OF WI
helmshone, the Landgrave held court,
where ladies fair and gallants bold
united to do him honor.
So all went merrily as a marriage bell
until the year of our Lord 1916 Then
from over the seas came news of wars
and rumors of wars. The American
colonists, impudent rascalsl had re
volted against the king of England
and the Landgraye pricked up his ears
At last. one fine day, Frederick H. 10
Cassel received communication from
George III. in Engl2c9, AID the result
was that several thousand loyal Hes
slams were hurried of to aid the Brit
ish in America, and the Landgrave
received a neat little consideration in
the shape of several million dollars
And thenl-
Many of these HessIans made the
long voyage only 10 be surprised one
night as they lay on the banks of tn
Delaware, and taken prisoners, by a
colonial general named George Wash
ington; and Cassel became the owner
of an art collection, which, though
small, is one of the finest in Europe
and which was purchased mainly with
British gold paid as hire for the He's
sian soldiers sent to America.

OLDEST In AMERICA.
MAINE TOWN HAS TWO MOST
ANCIENT CELLARS.
According to Geological Authority,
They Were Built by Natural
Forces a Great Many
Years Ago.

Eastern Maine has a few old houses
that date back to the days before
the revolution, but there is none that
has been built for more than 2Ot
years. Meanwhile George and Nathan
Salisbury, who reside in adjoining
homes on the Banks of Beech Hi.
stream, boast of living above the Nv
Oldest cellars on this continent, says
Tilden report in the New York
Sun.
81 know of what | speak" said
George Salisbury, for Prof Smith, OF
the United States geological survey
has told me the full history of how
these two cellars were built.
HE says that long time ago, when
Adam was nothing but a barefooted
boy, there came a cold winter in east
ern Maine, which lasted a long time
and covered the hills and fields with
ice more than 100 feet thick.
Nobody could do anything at lum-
bering because it was so cold. and the
roads stayed blocked up FOR weeks, fo
the reason that no one dared to
break out Along in April, when the
spring thaw set in, the water rose
and covered Waltham and Otis and
Mariaville and most of the county.
After II had rained for weeks and
most everybody was living upstairs.
because the lower floors of the house
we're flooded, the ice sheets broke up
and went floating across the land az
icebergs Some of these big ice cakes
were more than 100 feet thick, and
covered acres.
Whenever the great Jumps of ice
fioated over the top of hill, they
rubbed hard, tearing off great pieces
of ledge and taking them along frozeu
hard to the sides and bottoms of the
icebergs. After a time every iceberg
in Maine was sailing around, carrying
stone enough as ballast to build a
mile of stone wall.
Then, as the water drained off into
Union river, the icebergs ran aground
and punched great holes in the mud,
where they remained until they had
thawed out and melted away under the
heat of summer. OF course. as the
fiat stones which the ieebergs had
gathered up from rubbing against
lodges remained on the outside of the
ice they were left in the same relative
positions as when held by the ice, aftef
the big bergs had thawed and run
away as water
so there you are with holes in the
ground that have their sides and bot
toms lined with stones which haye
been ground smooth and pounded to-
gether until they fit as well as the
masonry work did in Solomon's tenn
pie. These old holes, from which the
ice has melted, are found all over
northern Hancock county, and no man
can see them without thinking of
cellars.
That's what they are-natural cell
lars, all stoned up and tagged an !
ready for men to build houses on
When Nathan and | came here and
took up new farms from the woods
40 years ago we didn't have to be told
about what to do with them.
I'VE just cut away the tree growing
in the hollows and used them to build
houses, and then put our new log
houses right on top of the cellars,
which were dug by icebergs long be-
fore any of our folk came to Maine

For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years IL has been helping
women TO be strong curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles. infam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at inc Eluhndlu ldDOIhloIN at l-Auut
Mass, many of which are from time TO
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value OF Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWomen.-W Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in law of Lydia L. Pinkham and for
twenty Ave years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free ofcharge. 0utof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish If She does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.
