Going Through the Whole Experience ofPledging Proving One's Identity.

A person curious to see something ofthe working of the Paris Mont de Pietecan do so without pawning any of hi3property. He can mingle with the crowdwhom necessity or vice has brought therewithout risk of. being questioned by offi-cials or being stared at inquisitively, forevery one is too intent upon his own busi-ness to give any thought to others. Butto obtain a vivid impression of the differ-ent circles of this inferno it is necessaryto go through the whole experience ofpledging and redeeming. No one whodid this once could possibly wish to re-peat the experiment. The lazar houseor the prison can alone offer a parallel tothe depressing influences of the Mont dePiete.

We will take for illustration the one inthe Rue Bonaparte, which is an offshootto the parent house in the Rue des Blancs-Manteau- x.

but which is itself vast enoughto quarter a large Ixxly of soldiers. Itis entered from the street by an archway,over which hangs a .dirty tricolor. Asentry is also posted as a further token ofauthority. The passage leads to a courtsurrounded by buildings which are theoffices and storehouses of the Mont dePiete.

Theair is dense, stifling and malodorous.There are twenty or tluriy people waitinghere some standing, others sitting uponbenches placed against the walls. All aresilent, or they speak under their breath.At least half of them belong to whatmay be termed the respectable workingclass; others wear all the signs of abjectmisery and vice; others, again, belong tothe impenetrable, well dressed class, re-specting whose position in life only guessescan be made.

S. F. Call, January 8th.

Within the past few months the pricesor different grades of sugar have ad-vanced on an average of two cents apound. In order to learn the cause ofthis rise and the future prospect of themarket, a "Call" reporter visited a num-ber of leading dealers and manufac-turers of this important staple.

Herman Bendel of the firm of Till-man- n& Bendel, when spoken to, said :

"The cause of the recent sharp ad-vance in the price of sugar is the resu:tof a decreased production and an in-creased consumption of the article.Competition in local manufacturing cir-cles resulted in a sharp decline in pricesduring 1887, and as a natural result therewas a greater consumption.

"I look for an advance from presentprices within the next few months. TheLondon and New York markets rule theworld, and as the former handles almostexclusively beet sugar, and as there hasbeen such a marked falling off in thelast crop, prices are sure to advance.

"M.Licht said, the leading Europeanauthority on sugar has reduced his esti-mate of the last crop to 2,263,000 tonsagainst 2,625,442 tons in 1886, or a fall-ing off of 362,448 tons. The consump-tion for 1886 was 180,000 tons in excersof the production, while in 1887 the con-sumption was 200,000 tons more thanthe previous year, making a total con-sumption over production for 1887 of742,000 tons.

"The 'Weekly Statistical Position,' anorgan devoted to the sugar interests, inits last issue for 1887 says : Under thecontinued influence of advancing mar-kets in all producing countries, the yearcloses with the general feeling that acorresponding rise must soon take placein the United States.

"How about the rumored formation ofa pool of local manufacturers for the pui-po- se

of advancing the price of sugar?"asked the reporter.. "It is all nonsense, and what is more,it would oe impossible. The New Yorkdealers, in case of a rise, would throwtheir goods on the market and break anycombination of local dealers."

Gustave Spreckels gave similar opin-ions on the prospects of the market andsaid :

"I think that sugar has been at itsbottom price, and I look for an increaseuntil the next European beet sugar ismarketed. If the crop is large andthere is not an increase in consumption

On the other side of it a man in ablouse appears every few minutes, takesa bundle or a box that has been placed onthe counter, gives a metal number in ex-change for it, and disappears. The per-son who has given up the article he hascome to pledge waits attentively until hehears his number called out by "somebodywhom he does not see, but who is on theother side of a wooden partition thatserves for one of the walls of the room.At the same time this oflicial calls out theamount which the Mont 'de Piete is pre-pared to lend upon the article or articleswhich correspond to ihe number. Theowner sometimes grumbles at the sumoffered, but the almost invariable reply is4 'Bien, monsieur. ' ' The functionaries donot condescend to bargain with the crowdin the waiting room, whom they treat asif they were paupers applying for relief.

The sum having been agreed to, it maybe supposed that the money is then paidover the counter and the business ended.Not at all; such a plain and straightfor-ward proceeding would be contrary tothe most sacred traditions of French of-ficial practice.

the prices may soften, but this will notoccur before next September.

"The California Sugar Refinery Com-pany have been experimenting latelyupon the cost of production of beet sugarcompared with cane sugar. The experi-ments made have encouraged us to erectworks at Alvarado and Watsonville, andwe contemplate building refineries in allsections of the State adapted to the culti-vation of the ?ugar beet. These differ-ent refineries will have a capacity for anannual production of 5,000 tons each.

"Beet sugar, when refined by the im-proved methods, is of as fine a quality asthat derived from cane, experts beingunable to detect the difference in thetwo productions."

The Directors of the American SugarRefinery Company are not in favor ofthe sugar beet industry. One of themin conversation yesterday said: "TheAmerican Company is not yet preparedto give np the refining of cane sugar.

The Sun is Not Blue.A 3-e-ar ago Professor Langley, the dis-

He arguedthat the atmosphere cut off a large pro-portion of the blue rays, and that, if theobserver could get beyond it, the sunwould look blue. Capt. Abney, in alecture on "Sunlight Colors," "rejectedthis experiment, adopting Prof. Langley 'sfigures with mathematical accuracy, butdispensing with his paper disks, whichthis lecturer held vitiated the result, andhe showed that the color of the sun wasnot blue, but very nearly tliat of thewhite light to be seen at high elevationsin a clear, dust-fre- e atmosphere.

In the center of the tobacco ware-houses at tVe London docks' there is animmense kiln, which is kept continuallyburning, day and night, and goes by thename of the queen's tobacco pije. TheEnglish government has a different wayof treating confiscated articles than thatin use in this country, one of them beingto utilize them as fuel for what is termedthe queen's smoking. "Whenever mer-chandise is seized for nonpayment ofduty, or because it is considered underthe law as in a damaged or unsalablecondition, it is taken to this great kilnand burned there, the owners having noremedy. The only utilization that ismade of these seizures is from the sale ofthe ashes from the furnace, wliich, tothe amount of a great many tons amonth, are sold by auction to chemicalworks, and to farmers and others to beused in enriching fae soil.

THE ADVEETISEE

Remarkable Climatic Phenomena of theGreat Basin Region.

The 'pooiii ' is a Nevada phe-nomenon, while the "chinook" belongsto Montana. The whites first made theacquaintance of the pogonip abouttwenty years ago, when they went toWhite Pine County, at the time of thestriking of the almost pure silver onTreasure Hill. Treasure Citv, on thepeak of Treasure Hill, thousands of feetabove the level of the sea, is the truehome and stamping ground of the pogo-ni-p.

Tin? pogonip. so feared, is a sortof frozen fog that tills the air at timesin winter. It often appears on theclearest and brightest of days, comingFuddenly from no one knows whence.In an instant the air is filled with float-ing needles of ice. To breathe the pogo-nip is death to the lungs. When itcomes people rush to cover. The In-dians dread it as much as the whites.They discovered the pogonip longr.go. Pogonip is an Indian word,l ho very sound of which describesthe phenomenon to which it isfipplied. It is the same with thePiute word for cold. The word is"oo-zoot-zo- o," and is full of shake andshiver. The pogonip appears to be';ausel by the sudden freezing in the airof the moisture which collects about thesummit of high peaks.

To stand in a valley a mile or two be-low and look up at the top of a mount-ain on which pogonip has appeared is asight beautiful and peculiar. In alldirections the cloudless heavens are adre, calm blue if a color can be saidto be calm. The top of the peak ishidden hi the pogonip, which is as bril-liant under the light of - the sun asthovse parhelia seen about the sun inArtie regions, but it is amoving, shape-less mass of luminosity. From thisglittering cloud bright streamers areoften seen stretching away from themountain peak, that look like the waver-ing and flashing wires that are shot up-wa- rd

by the aurora borealis. Theseribbons of fiery light stretch away in adirection opposite to that from whichthe wind fs blowing. They are evi-dently shreds and strips of the pogo-tii- p

that are torn ofT and wafted awayby the gale.

On the top of the mountain thepoponip is so dense that one can seethrough it to the distance of only a fewyards. The air is tilled with minuteand slender crystals of ice. These strik-ing together produce a slight, con-tinuous rustling sound. Breathed intothe lungs they prick like needles. Thephenomenon of tin; pogonip is to beseen in winter in very many places inNevada about the tops of high mount-ains, also about most of the tall peaksall through the Great Basin region.

While the coming'of the Kmp"is dreaded, the advent of the "chinook"is heartily welcoilied. The chinookmeans warm weather. It is a phenom-enally warm south or southwesterlywind that strikes down into Montana,Idaho, and other northern and snowyregions lying east of the Sierra Nevadamountains, and even into the regionsfar to the eastward of the Rocky mount-ains.

It is in a mild way a sort of sirocco;but is without the noxious qualities ofthe sirocco that blows from the Libandeserts into Italy and Sicily. It appearto be a mixture of the dry, heated air ofthe deserts of Arizona and New Mexico,rising and mingling with the warm butmoister breezes moving eastward oft thePacific Ocean. Somewhere in the upperregions high above the tops of all themountains these currents of air meet,mingle, and final ly descend upon thesnowclad regions of the north, justwhere they are wanted and prayed for.

Before the chinook the snowdrifts meltas before a blast of hot air blownthrough a tube and directed againstthem. As if by magic, the snowy cov-ering of the hills and valleys disappears.The atmosphere is every where warm andbalmy. So much moisture has beentaken up by the air during the processof melting away the snow that thebreezes are soft and sweet as those ofspring.

When old winter howls and prowlsthrough the territories of our northernneighbors, and the whole face of thecountry lies buried in snow, no wonderthat we see in their newspapers somany appeals to the "clerk of theweather' to send then the "blessedchinook. Dave de Quille, in VirginiaEnterprise.

Good Fences on the Farm.Many an anim ecomes breachy

because of the carelessness of thefarmer in looking after his fences. Aboard gets loose or broken, and thisnot having been attended to at once,the animal gets out of the inclosure.Having once done this the beast is moreapt to try again, and finally even agood strong fence will not restrain it.The cheapest and bast way is to build'a good fence in the beginning, and thensee that it is kept in good repair, sonone of the stock will be tempted to getover it or break it down. Animals keptin lots surrounded by good fences arenot likely to become unruly, and if oneshould be obtained that has acquiredthis habit, it will be found better to dis-pose of it, lest it not only prove asource of constant annoyance, but alsobe the means of making" others in hisherd troublesome.

A Place In Ceylon Where an Evil HeathenDeity Is Propitiated.

Landing one afternoon for a visit tothe Salmi Rock, we came to the remain-ing fort of the place Fort Fredericka massive structure built by the Dutchhi 1C75 to resist land attacks from theinterior, but now occupied by an armedgarrison of English heavy artillery,writes a correspondent from Cejion.

Passing through the fort and out tothe extreme point, we came to a large,rugged rock rising precipitously out ofthe sea to a height of nearly two hun-dred feet. It is known as Salmi Rock,and the natives have a tradition that itis occupied by one of their evil deities,to propitiate whom their Hindoo priestholds a sacred service on the rocktwice a week. The Europeans hereknow of only one event that has oc-curred to make the rock memorablesince the first Dutch settlers arrivedhere. The daughter of one of the oldDutch Governors fell in love with aa j'oung Lieutenant stationed on aDutch man-of-w- ar in the harbor. Herirascible old father opposed their unionbecause the young Lieutenant hadnothing but his pay, and, in order toseparate them, ordered the man-of-w- arto sea on a long cruise. As the shipsailed out of the harbor the young girlwent out to the rock, waved a last fare-well to her lover, and then threw her-self off into the sea and was drowned.

Fortunately, we got to the rock justas the service was about to begin. Ona narrow ledge right over the sea stoodthe priest, a fine-looki- ng gray-heade- dold fellow, who was attired in thenarrowest loin cloth I have yet seen.Near to him, but clear of the rock, wereabout lift or sixty natives the men at-tired very much like the priest, but thewomen resplendent in skirts of manycolors and fairly loaded down withgold and silver ornaments in nose andears and on arms, ankles and toes.

The priest was fairly surrounded witha load of fruits, flowers, rice and cocoa-nut- s

the offerings of his congregation.He commenced the service by ringing abell. Then, holding a brass vessel, inwhich was a blazing fire, in his handbefore him, and apparently invokingsome spirit in it, he first threw someslips of paper over the face of the rock,his congregation facing the sea, clasp-ing the hands in front of the body andengaging in prayer. After this wasover the priest opened all of the cocoa-nut- s,

emptying the milk into a brassvessel.

Afterward he made a final prayer inregard to keeping the sea quiet so thatvessels could swim on it, and then com-menced to throw a part of the offeringsinto the sea; first some flowers, thensome rice and finally some cocoanuts.How they could reach the evil deity Icould not learn. During the prayingof the priest these poor natives lookedevery bit as earnest and devout as anyof our congregations at home wouldlook during Divine service. BaltimoreSun.
