Pawnhrokers, Shons.

Pawnbrokers' shops were first es-
tablished from motives of charity in
the fifteenth century. Their object
was to lend money to the poor upon
pledges without interest. They
were first supported by voluntary
contributions, but it became neces-
sary to charge interest upon the
money loaned. These banks were
first called "montes pietatis," )" the
word "mont" being applied to any
pecuniary fund, and it is possible
that "pietatis" was added to give it
an air of religion and SO obtain
larger subscriptions. The "montes
pietatis" were also called sLom-
bards," from the name of the orig
inal money lenders, the Lombards,
who came to London in the reign
of Edward l. and established them
selves in the street which bears
their name and which in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth was the hand
soonest street in London.-London

Washing.0n's New Law.

A new marriage license law went
into effect in Washington last
week, requiring a doctors certifi-
cate that applicants are in good
health, and certificate from a
disinterested party that they are
not habitual criminals or drunk
ards. Physicians regard the new
law as an excellent one designed
to prevent transmission of diseases
and criminal tendencies. 1t is be.
lieved, however, that the law will
drive hundreds of couples to pro.
cure marriage licenses in Idaho
where no such law exists, anc
thus, in a measure defeat the pur
pose of the Washington legislature

A FRIENDLY CACTUS.
No Need Of Thirst In . Desert Where
the Bisnaqa Grows.

No Need Of Thirst In . Desert Where
the eienaoa Grows.
A cactus that will serve as COM
pass and well is indeed a useful
plant. In book called "Campfres
on Desert and Lava" W. T. Horu-
aday describes barrel or bisnaga
cactus, deeply fluted and elabo-
rately "spined" plant. The tradi-
ton is that every bisnaga always
leans to the south. A majority of
them do lean in that direction, but
they are not absolutely to be de-
pended upon. As a we'll, however,
the plant is very valuable.
In times of stress for water the
man who is tortured by thirst and
heat can draw from it cool and
copious drink of water which sur
passes the ambrosia of the gods. In
Arizona in summer man needs
about two large gallons of water a
day. Part or all of this water can
be supplied from the bisnaga.
Here is our experience: On the
third day out we stopped to get
some water in this way. With his
machete, which is really an Iowa
corn cutter of Mexican antecedents
and Connecticut manufacture, the
doctor deftly cut off the upper part
of fine specimen that stood beside
the trail. Next a smooth green
stem from a nearby palo verde was
whitfield to the shape of a pounding
stick. 1t is necessary to choose for
this purpose a tree that does not
yield bitter wood, for with the wrong
kind of battering ram the flavor of
the drink might easily be impaired.
The central surface of the decapi-
tated bisnaga was attacked with
this FOUNDER, and white bits Of cac-
tus meat began to fly like the sparks
from an anvil. Several handfuls of
pulp were lost because there was
nothing to hold them, but presently
cavity began to form.
The man whose hands were the
cleanest was invited to take out
some of the waterlogged pulp and
wash himself. This done, he pro-
ceeded to take out the pulp, squeeze
it dry and throw it away.
By alternate squeezings and
poundings about three pints oil
white water were soon accumulated
and we stepped up and drank.
1t was surprisingly cool, trife
sweet and in flavor like the finest
kind of raw turnip.
There is no need of thirsting in
a desert where the barrel cactus
fourishes.

SUCCESSFUL LAND SALES

George A. Day, state land commits
sOncr, has returned to Boise from
the northern part Of the state where
he conducted five OF the most success
full sales of state lands in the five

hee county lands held at Mountain
Home, the commissioner was absent

10 days, he visiting Kootenai county

Bonner county, the next 10 Nez Perce
county and the fifth sale In Idaho

Leaves Many Creditors.

Last weeks issue of the Spirit
Lake Herald gives an account of
the disappearance of Professor H.
H. Van Benthuysen, principal of
the Spirit Lake school, who left
on June S, it is alleged, dumping"
a board bill, ETC., amounting to
$34.55. Marshal Tyler followed
him to Newport and collected the
amount. 1t develops that the pro-
fessor, according to statements
made by various people, had bor-
rowed money from his friends from
time to time which he did not
repay. 1t was also learned, ac-
cording to allegation made, that
the professor had destroyed all the
school records of the past year,
and only the names of the pupils
are found registered in a new
record book.

"Welsh Rabbit" Parallels.

1t is to be feared that the manner
as well as the inventor Of the
"Welsh rabbit" is lost in antiquity.
As early as the eighteenth century,
when Grose expounded the vulgar
tongue, the false "rarebit" deriva-
ton had crept in. "Welsh rabbit
is exactly parallel with "scotch
woodcock" and may be compared
with the humorous nicknames OF
many other delicacies. Thus, a
baked sleeps head used to be
known as "Field lane duck" a red
herring as a Glasgow magistrate, =
a "Norfolk capon" or a "two eyed
steak" potatoes have appeared as
Irish apricot" "or Munster plums,
and "Gravesend sweetmeats" were
shrimps. In America "Cape Coo
turkey" is a Goldfish, and "prairie
oyster" is drink. And the "colo-
NAL goose" of Australia represents
a leg of mutton with savory trim
mings.-London Chronicle.

CABLE MILLS SOLD OUT
Purchased by w. w. P. Company
of Spokane.

The Washington Water Power
company has purchased all the
property of the Cable Milling COM
pany in Post Falls. consisting of
large Touring mill, grain elevators,
water power, railroad spurs and
several acres of land adjoining the
falls on the north bank of the
Spokane river.
The Cable Milling company has
made extensive improvements
during the last season, consider
able concrete work having been
done and new gates put in the
millrace and canal.
The Washington Water Power
company will enlarge the plant and
run it with electricity instead of
water power. The mill had its
own electric plant for lights, and
its water power consisted of ZOO
horsepower.
DIR. Russell of Spokane was the
principal owner.
BY making this purchase the
Washington Water Power COM
pany has secured control of all the
water power there, and some de-
sirable factory sites adjacent to it's
other property and to the railroad.

TAFT AND THE TARIFF
President May Or May Not
Veto the Bill.
ATTITUDE IS OPTIMISTIC
Asks to Have Expenditures Ap-
proximate the Revenues.

Washington, d. c., June "a
When President Taft's attention is
called to the many divergent reports
of his attitude toward the tariff bill,
that he will veto the measure. that
he will not veto the measure, etc,
etc. he smiles and remarks that "they
make interesting reading", but that
he cannot contirn or deny them be-
cause the time for him to reach
decision has not yet arrived, and he
is constitutionally averse to making
up his mind on important subjects
earlier than is necessary. Senators
are confident that the president will
not veto the bill, basing their convic-
tions, no doubt. on the realization
that such concessions will be made
before the measure is submitted for
the presidents signature as to avoid
all danger of veto. On the other
hand, the recent speech of the secre-
tary of the treasury, which has Great.
ed no little sensation in Washington.
is taken as an indication. Ia some
quarters, that the president will veto
the bill unless it is made materially
more acceptable to the middle west
than it now appears TO be.
In the seeming chaos that sur
rounds the consideration of the tariff
| bill there is ole feature of It's progress
which is somewhat lost sight Of, and
that is the large number Of reduc-
tions In the rates which have been
adopted at the instance of the finance
c)mmittee, but have attracted little
attention because of this adoption
without debate. Another significant
fact is that almost every change that
has been made in the bill since it
reached the senate, has consisted Of a
reduction of the rates recommended
by the finance committee made on a
motion of the chairman, and not as a
result of the protests or the votes Of
the "progressiyes". These two facts,
alone, might account for that opium
ism of the chief executive as u the
final outcome of the tariff revision
which is quite apparent to all WHIT
enjoy his confidence.
Shortly after this administration
was inaugurated the president made
it known to his cabinet that he de-
sired their annual estimates fol
appropriations very materially
decreased so that the annual expendi
ture for the government expenses
would approximate the revenues. Th'
navy department was the first Il
comply and now the war department
is ready with estimates for the flsca
year 1910 II. and the figures will
show decrease of $56, 900, 900 below
the estimates of the previous year.
