In the city Of Barcelona. Spain, there
Is a peculiar pawnbroking establish
ment bearing the dainty name OF "Our
Lady Of Hope" where loans are made
without interest to neceSsitous persons
on the deposit of any articles in pledge.
Two-thirds Of the value Of the deposit
is at once advanced, and the loan Is
made for six mouths and n day. but If
at the expiration of that period the de-
positor should declare himself unable
to redeem it after another period Of six
months the pledges are sold, but If they
yield more than the amount advanced
the difference is given to the original
owner This Institution is very popu-
lar Thousands are every year suitors

Why Rubber rires erom Hot.

When an automobile is running at
high speed the rubber tires are rap
idly warmed. and the heat sometimes
becomes very great with resultant in
jury to the rubber. The cause of this
accumulation Of heat In the tire IS
ascribed TO the kneadng Of the rubber
which generates heat faster than it can
be radiated away. For this reason
manufacturers have found 1t to be an
advantage TO have metal parts In the
tread. such ms the ends Of rivets. in
contact with the tire, because the metal.
being good radiator, helps to carry
OF the heat TO the outer air.

CURIOUS TAXES.
Ways Holland Had Of Raising Funds
In the Old Dsys.

In the Old Dsys.
The archives OF Holland contain or
dinances which may we'll be regarded
as cur1osities OF taxation. In the year
1906 there was tax imposed on all
passengers travelling In Holland by
land or water In 1901 this tax was
still I'm force.
In 1914 duty OF 2la pence was lev
led on each person who entered a tay-
ern before noon. Those assembling In
private house after 3 o'clock In the
afternoon for the purpose Of amusing
themselves had each to pay a certain
sum, and those who entered place of
entertainment were likewise taxed.
There was duty on marriages and
deaths. The amount Of the tax varied
according to the social position Of the
parties, while in the case OF y person
buried outside of the district i'm which
be lived the amount payable by his ex-
ecutOr was doubled.
But the most curious tax of all was
one imposed In 1874 on boots and
shoes. In order to prevent the impOst
from being cvaded each of those arti-
cles so essential TO human comfort had
to be conspicuously marked ON the up.
per leather with the stamp of the
maker and also with that of the taxing
officer The sum to be paid was regu-
lated by the size of the boot or shoe.
SO apart from the question of beauty in
those days 1t was real advantage to
have small foot. 1t saved expense
