Of watches nlone there are received here and nt the twutty-two brnt.t'lt ' decs from a thouniml to twelve hun dred n day, about liSO.OOO In a year, the average lonn on a watch being U0 or 40 francs. The olllclnl assured me that In this great number of watches scarce ly one In a thousand has been stolen, the fact being that people who have come dishonestly by watches or other property light shy of the mont do plete. Tho reason of this was presently made plain as wo watched the formalities of record, nnd I realized how dlillcult It would bo for any one to do business here under n concealed Identity. Every client receiving a loan greater than 15 francs must produce some olllclnl docu ment nn Insurance policy, a citizen's voting card, a permit to curry arms or a rent receipt bearing his signature and throwing light upon his station In life. For loans under 15 francs the client Is simply required to show nn envelope through the mnlls to his address. All those facts, with various others, are duly Inscribed upon huge record sheets, bo thnt whoever' deals with the mont de plete exposes himself to the scru tiny that must be ungrateful to folks of shady antecedents. Indeed, certain persons make this a grievance against the mont de plete nnd declnre the Turls system nn Impertinent intrusion upon n client's privacy, which would seem a point badly taken If the client Is nn honest man. Cleveland Moffett on Paris Pawnshops In Century. Cards Dlacloae the Man. "I wish I hnd not played bridge with Mr. X.," said a girl recently. "I thought him bo nice before, nnd now my liking for him has quite gone. Ho was so keen about trifles, insisted upon every forfeit, questioned tho Bcore and seem ed so annoyed when ho lost, nnd yet the stakes were very small, and ho was only out n few dollars; so, of course, It was not the money. It must liavo been the disposition of the man coming oit under provocation, und the test did not show him up to advantage. Now. Mr. .., the other man at tho ta ble, was so good natured nnd such a gentleman in his play that I quite like him, although I never thought him at tractive before." All giiines of competition may be said to assay certain characteristics, but the most crucial test seems to be card plnylnc nnd bridge Is responsible for nian.v .. coolness resulting from self betrayal at tho green table. New York Tribune. The IladKcr iih n Fireman. A badger which had made Us home among the gruntfo cliffs dealt with the tire god with sagacity and skill, says Nature. A friend, while painting a sea piece. dhcoered n badger's lair nnd thought to piny the animal u practical Joke. Gathering together a bundle of grass and weeds, ho placed It Inside the mouth of the hole nnd. Igniting It with a match, walled for the Ignominious flight of the astonished householder. But Master Badger was a resourceful nnlmal and not disposed to bo made a butt of practical Jokers. He came up from the depths of his hole as soou as the penetrating smoke told him that there was a tire ou the premises nnd deliberately scratched enrth on the burning grass with his strong clawa until all danger was past No human being could have grasped tho situation more quickly or displayed greater Bkill In dealing -with nn unfamiliar event.
