It used to be the rule that if a man or woman could not redeem what he or she had pawned, the goods were lost. Now there is one large storekeeper on Broadway and a host of smaller ones all over the city who buy these tickets of those who know they can not raise the sum the pawnbrokers have loaned them. These buyers call themselves jewelers. As they try to getas good bargains possible, it is now their rule to advertise pawn tickets for private purchase. ‘The list of such advertisements grow larger every month.—N. Y. Sun.

HOW SAVAGES EAT. Carious Customs of Semi-Civilized and Barbarous Peoples. Im all thoroughly civilized countries the members of a family and their guests partake of meals while collected around a central board, but this is not so with the majority or even a fraction of the semi-civilized and barbarous na- tions. The Maldivian Islanders dine alone, retiring to the most secret parts of their huts for the purpose of their food. This custom probabl | among them in an earby period in their history, for fear. perhaps. with equally as sharp an appetite and more bodily strength would deprive the feaster of his meal.
