HUXLEY WAS A SMOKER. So His to the Ant L Was The late Professor Huxley during one n jnvita. league. Though somewhat surprised, the professor accepted the invitation and the following evening was duly Wnstalied in the chair. There was a large gathering, an] the learned gentleman received a hearty reception. "Ladies and gentlemen," said the pro- fessor on rising, "I shall open this meet~ ing by relating a little incident which oc curred some years ago. 1 was on a visit to a very dear friend of mine who was at that time deeply interested in a dis- covery then recently made in connection with science, and being much interested in the same subject myself we frequently exchanged views, which naturally led to much animated discussion. However, notwithstanding the similarity of our tastes in various studies, there was one point on which we differed--my friend was an inveterate smoker, while I, on the contrary, detested tobacco in any form. | [Great applause.] "After dinner we usually retired to his study in order to discuss this important discovery. Finding myself on one of these occasions nearly suffocated with the smoke from my friend's cigar I mildly ex- postulated, whereupon, pushing the ci- gars toward me, he exclaimed, 'Take one yourself, old man, it's the best remedy.' Knowing from experience it would be fmpossible to induce him to relinquish his, I reluctantly took a cigar and smok- | ed it, and since that time, ladies and gen- | tlemen, nothing on earth would induce me-- [suppressed applause]--would in- duce me," resumed the learned chair man, "to forego my after dinner weed."

This time 1 asked "B. P.* to communicate with me in case she had lost anything. There were just 107 "B. P." answers, but among them I select- ed one which appeared to be genuine. This "B. P." had lost a double hoop diamond ring containing five stones. It bad been lost on a railroad train and was a birthday gift from a dead moth- er. I was asked to call at the cham- bers of a certain solicitor to have the ring further identified. There is noth- Ing romantic about calling on a solick tor. 1 bad been in hopes to be invited to a Bloan square mansion or a grand country seat, and 1 was disappointed. It was quite possible, however, that the blond halred heiress would be at the solicitor's and that all would be well, and 80 1 was on hand at the ap- pointed hour. So was a stern faced and aggressive looking householder, to- gether with a slick looking villain whom 1 at once spotted for a detective and a young woman whose hair was red Instead of blond. The ring was speedily Identified by the stern faced man and red headed girl. "B. P." was f mer & country sq h on the night pre. vious to my finding the ring his daugh- ter's jewels had been stolen. The hoop ring was part of the plunder. Of course 1 was ready to hand over the ring, but it wasn't to stop there. That red headed maid was sure she recognized me as the man who was hanging about the grounds a few hours before the robbery, and that villain of a detective was only too glad to snap the bandcuffs on my wrists and hurry me off to jail. It tosk me three days to prove myself a respectable character and an alibl. They had to give me my liberty. but it was grudgingly done, and the detective sald he'd have an eye on me all the rest of my days. The romance had departed when I was locked up. I came out of jall deter mined on securing reparation, Old Perkins had helped the red headed girl to conclude that 1 was the robber, and 1 went down to his country seat to re- celve an abject apology or pull his nose. He not only refused an apology, but threatened to kick me off the grounds, and the red headed girl de- clared that I had a cast In my left eye, and by that cast she would swear to me In any court as a4 man who would mot stop at murder, There was one more thing to be cleared up. I wanted to find out about "B. P." herself. Was she the blond haired, blue eyed girl of my dreams, and was she worthy of my love? 1 bad not long to walt. 1 was walking from the country seat to the village when a dogcart knocked me down and rolled me all over the road, and the driver halted to call me a tramp and threaten me with the law.

Though her husband made an excellent salary, she was rigid in her rules pertaining to the buying of the necessaries for the household. Bhe would haunt bargain counters and market stalls for hours In order to get the benefit of a reduction of a few cents on the article desired. The corporation official, with much o tease bis better half : "stinginess." 80 one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule, she resolved to take him to market with her und demonstrate beyond a doubt that she was a most economical buyer. He consented, stipulating that he was not to be asked to carry the basket. Arriving at the market, she made several purchases, and then at one stall inquired the price of eggs. "What," she exclaimed, "16 cents a doen? No, Indeed, that is too high." She dragged her reluctant husband after her from one stand to another, still Inquiring the price of eggs and al ways recelving the same answer until fear the upper end of the market. Hete she found a dealer who offered to sell hér eggs In any quantity for 15 cents, To her husband she sald joy- asly: "There, I told you so. Why, those others. were robbers."

As precautions against fire and thieves they are most solidly built. No woodwork Is allowed on the outside, and the walls are raised several fi above the roof. The windows are v small and tightly laced with thick irom bars, and Inside are iron shutters to repel flames. The eight or ten storied building stands several feet back from the street line, There is a small doorway, and be' hind it stands a wooden screen bearing' the name of the pawnshop.

The front of the shop is fenced off with fron bars, like a lion's cage, six feet above the ground. The Chinese coming to pawn his winter clothes hands up the bundle to the broker behind the bars. The Chinese "uncle" fixes the price, gives the "nephew" a ticket and the money, and the pledge is ticketed and packed away just as in England, The rates of interest are high. On ad- vances of less than 10 shillings 36 per cent per annum is charged, from 10 shil- logs to £1 24 per cent and on larger sums slightly less, But during the winter months articles can be redeemed at a reduction of one- third in the Interest, as a concession to the needs of the poor. A pledge may hold good for three years. Arter that time it cannot be redeemed. Periodically the pawnshops sell off their sales direct to the public being forbidden. On migrating to Australia, America or elsewhere, the Chinaman pawns his im- plements of worship--censer, urn, tripod, A man having saved some signs it to the pawnbroker for safe Art) dy, paying a small fee for the privilege.

There are also small secret pawnshops existing outside the law and only by connivance with the officials, whose complacency is purchased. In China the business of" pawnbroking is followed by the highest. men in the kingdom. The Chinese "uncle's" great enemies are fire and thieves. If fire originates in the shop, the proprietor must pay the full value of all pledges destroyed. If the building is wrecked by a fire starting out 'wide, the owner is exempt save for & small percentage. As to robbers, cart- loads of stones are stored to repel an at tack, prompted by the rich booty of the pawnshop. The attendants are also arm- ed, but not infrequently the places are wrecked by gangs of robbers.~Londos Express. Fire and Mosquitses. Italian peasants living in swampy re- glons still follow the old custom of lighting fires for the purpose of purify ing the air of malarial poison.
