MEN WHO HAVE PAWNED THEMSELVES.

Mr Eli Stevens, of Ohio, conceived the idea of " raising the wind " a few weeks ago by pawning himself. It appears that he was arrested for debt in the street, and immediately liquidated his liabilities by pledging himself for £5 Then he wired to his friends, who on their arrival, found him at the pawn broker's deposited and ticketed in a o raer of the shop, munching bread and cheese.

Grimaldi, the famous clown and comedian, always fond of a frolic and without money, walked into a pawn broker's shop in a street leading off the strand, explained who he wae, and left himself as security for a loan. At the time Grimaldi was engaged at the Drury Lane pantomime, and, as can be imagined, the manager was in a great consternation wheu he did not turn up. Qrimaldi could not bo found in any of bis accustomed haunts, and the manager was on the points of apologizing to the audience and starting the performance without him, when a note was placed la his hand. "Dear Sir, " it ran, "Mr GrimalJi has deposited himself on the shelves of my pawnshop as s fcurity for a loan, but as his presence in the shop seriously interferes with my business, I should be pleased if you would come and redeem the pledge at once." The man ager took a cab and discovered the clown sitting on a shelf facing the entrance to tbe pawnbroker's shop, evidently to the delight of the small boys of the neigh bourhood, who were collected in batches round the doorway, Needless to say he wag quickly redeemed by the Drury Lane manager, who was very angry with him but Grimaldi treated it as a huge joke, and made mention of it the same even ing in his performance.

One of our well-known actors of to-day, at one time was head over heels in debt, despite an enormous salary, and was always devising schemes by which he cou'd raise money. One evening just before the curtain rose upon a new play a pawn broker handed the manager of the theatre & pawn ticket.

" A pawn ticket forme ?" exclaimed the astonished manager.

" Yes, It is for £50, and I hold your leading man tor Becurity. "

The manager had to pay this amount before he| could get his <c star," and he heard afterwards, much to his chagrin, that the actor and the pawn-broker divided the spoils.

The Co-operative System.

The annual report of the Land and Survey Departments, mentions that of the co-operative system in Otago,- Sur veyor Hay reports that the works have been of the usual character, comprising 101 contract*, and giving employment to 120 men, tha average earnings being 6s lid per working day of eight hours. The system continues to run smoothly, and settlers who are capable men knew that they can earn a fair day's wage. Any difficulty arising is always found to emanate from inexperienced and chronically lazy men, who shirk then share of the work. Little or no friction has taken place among the men, due largely to the ability and tact of In spector Sutton.

A VERY NICE MIXTURE.

It appears to be a social custom in the Australian bash to , arrange picnics on a large ecaie, as being the only means oi getting people together, living, aj they do there, many a score of miles away from one another, Onr cousins' house hold arrangements not being so complete as ours, on such occasions the mothers bring their babies. '•  ' £.t one monster picnic there was a scarcity of iadiea for • dancing, and the mothers were all pressed into the service, leaving the babies altogether by them selves. Some few yoang gentlemen of a waggish turn of mind took the Opportunity to change-the frocks and cloaks of all the babies, without reference to sex, age, or fit, and as Borne of the mothers wenb home before the othets, the utmost conster* nation prtvailed whan the little ones, having joeen claimed by their clothea in the hurry of departure, were afterwards found to be strangers, and each distracted moth«r knew not with whom her child mighb be, or how far off. Tda perpetrators of the joke took care to make themselves scarce .for a period, and a general interchange o£ babies formed the sole occupation of. the ladies for days afterwards.
