One would expect that the consular re-
turns from such places as Naples. Flor
ence and Genoa would show very large
exports of paintings. statuary and other
works Of art to the United States since
the tariff on such articles was removed in
the Aldrich act last summer. But Mr..
Crowninshield. the American consul at
Naples. told me that he had not had any
invoices Of that sort brought to him; Nj.
Smith. the consul at Genoa. said that he
had certified to but one shipment and
that was a painting worth only SIS; and
MIR. Quay, the consul at Florence, said
that the number Of invoices from that Of
flee had not been any larger than before
art was placed on the free list.
About half a million dollars worth of
antique furniture, GU los. picture frames

They also appear as professional mourn

they always bury the poor free of charge
furnishing the collins from their own
funds and paying other necessary ex-
penses and attending the body to the
grave. -.
The ORGANISATIONS are supported ny
subscribers who pledge themselves to pay
a certain amount every week or month
in lieu of performing service. These are
known as contributing members. Then
there is a class of associate members"
mostly women and men too old for act
i've service who also pay as much as they
can annually, while the funds are still
a,,rther increased by the proceeds OF balls,
fairs. athletic contests and other enter
tainments which are given ut different
mes during the year.
The money is used to pay for medicines
and for medical attendance for the poor,
to buy collins and burial places and pro-
vide for funeral expenses OF these who
IRE unable to pay them.
It is an expensive business to die in
Italy, especially IL one occupies a con-
spicuous social position. Funerals are
very ceremonious and involve large costs
There is a rivalry even In collins, and the
ostentation OF the burial grounds, partic-
uIarly the Campo Santa OF Genoa, goes
beyond anything that can be found else
where. In most of the cemeteries burial
places are leased for thirty years, and at
the end of that period, unless the contract
is renewed. the remains are removed to
the potter's field and the space Is leased
to some one else.

Valuable Paintings Mortgaged.

hfbit the purchaser from taking the pic

Sometimes the commissions in tine Diff
ferent cities catch a work of art that has
remained unknown. For example. Mar
Shall Cutler of Florence told me the other
day about an American tourist who
picked up . picture by an unknown artist
which had no apparent intrinsic value at
all, but 1t seized his fancy, and he paid
It's francs for II. 1t was sent to the ex
port commission for permit, and.
to his surprise, 1t availed itself of its
right to buy it and pay him what he
claimed to have paid for 1t. Naturally.
He had accidentally discovered what is
evidently a valuable painting, In an OBJ
scure place. had purchased IL at low
price and bought 1t for his own use. and
now the government of Italy steps in and
takes it away from him.
The Italian law Is simply an encourage
ment for smuggling.
There are municipal pawnshops in all
the Italian cities, and they are called the
Monte di Plete dMount OF Piety) because
the FIRST one ever established was given
that name There are also private pawn
brokers, as in the United States, but 1t is
difficult for them to compete with the
government because OF the liberal terms
upon which it loans money. The rate OF
interest is usually ] per cent month,
and at the end OF the year unredeemed
pledges are sold at auction. IL they
bring more than the amount of the loan
and the accumulated interest. the surplus
lis returned TO the person vino obtained
the loan, less a commission OF = per cent,
which is charged for expenses.
