RAGPICKERS.
HOW 40.000 MEN AND WOMEN
EARN A GIVING IN PARIS.
.\Moni»tiing Facts About These
Strauge Scavengers of the Streets
of the French Capital—Their
Organization and Work.
Last year, says Mrs. Frank Leslie in a
letter from Pari: to the New Yoik World,
M. Rouff, a dealer in di Jt
fine large pearl, bin; 125 w
valued at $S00t He ly put
Hosiers op all the w of Pans o x
ing a han ue reward for its recovery,
Several t i s claused when a poor
woman called on the Co imis- r of Po¬
lice in the Rue Montmartre and h
the lost pearl to that ofii I Her name
was Gautier. She was a chiffonnierc
female ragpicker, by trade, and bad
found the pearl in a heap of rubbish in
the Rue Laffitte. She lived in a small
wooden shanty in the Rue du Ruisseau, a
poorly tenanted street belonging to a
quarter known as Les Grande* Carrieres
so named from the “large quames on
the northern slopes of Montmartre, where
the city formerly got much of its fine
limestone for building.
The new law that forbids housekeepers
placing their rubbish iu the streets over¬
night has beep a sad blow to the corpora
tion to which this poor honest woman
belongs. Some compensation has, it i I
true, been offered them by the tolerance j
of the police, who close their eyes to the
infringement of regulations in the
narrow streets wnV h are lined with shop
and warehouses. They have each their
own concierge, who permits them to ’
forage at daybreak among the rubbish
brought down by the servants from up
stelrs '
They have a longer day s work now. j
Formerly they , started , out ten at night. . , ,
at
and at four or five in the morning, when
the carts made their rounds, they had
disappeared from the streets. Now they
must remain until the scavengers appear
on the scene, or at least until tlie last 1
boxes of rubbish have been emptied into j ]
the common bin placed on the edge of
the curb by each concierge.
They have the work of sorting to do
when they get back from their early
morning task of collecting the refuse.
Some sell it to a boss, or trieur (sorter),
as he is called, who stays at home and
does nothing else. He sits in his room
like a gentleman, and there quietly as¬
sembles, examines and separates the dif
ferent articles picked up by Iris workjieo
plc. He then sells the material to buy¬
ers of various sorts.
The business is anything but a lucra¬
tive one. Parisians, however, throw
away every year more than 300,000 tons
of stuff, which the ragpickers collect and
sell for upward of 25,000,000 francs,
or nearly $5,000,000. The daily returns
amount ($14,000), in all to more than 70,000 francs
but there are 40,000 men and
women to share the sum between them,
so that each ge.s an average of one frauc
aeventy live centimes, or less than thirty
live cents. Two hundred pounds of
waste paper cannot lie sold for more than
a eottple of francs, woolen rags are only
worth five cents a pound, cotton three
cents, and bones at best fetch one franc
eighty-five centimes, or thirty-seven cents
per hundredweight.
A man working steady all night—for
they still ply their trade on a small scale,
despite the edicts of the Prefect—may
earn, if he has a fair amount of good
fortune, from forty to sixty cents, but
not more. A silver spoon docs occasion¬
ally turn up in the rubbish, but a pearl
of purest orient hue—well, so to speak,
never. Besides, every member of the
eornora'.ion 0 f ragpickers is bound under
severe penalties to deposit any valuables
he may find at the nearest police office.
Each has a card or ticket with a number
inscribed, and a number corresponding
with that ou tlie card is fastened to the
hotte or basket . Ragpickers, moreover,
have always been noted for their industry
and honesty.
There arc no classes or categories
among the ragpickers, as some pretend.
There arc only the good and the bad. The
real cbiffonnier is readily recognised by
the adroitness with which, while only
slightly stooping, he transfixes a cork or
any bit of rag or paper and drops it into
-the basket at his shoulders. It requires
years of patient practice to do the thiug
neatly. He contemns imitators—people
who would fain pass themselves off for
the genuine article. There are plenty of
such shams who wear the blue blouse and
go about with the basket, but they are
uo members of the corporation, T * lr v
.
are mere hide-venders. Catskins still
find purchasers, aud the number of rab
bits eaten at cheap restaurants and water¬
side resorts enables these prowling frauds
to dispose of the bodies of their victims.
The oid Fisherman Was Beaten.
A good story has never been told in
priut of royal Reuben Wood, that genial
friend to everybody, whose death was so
widely mourned. He was a true sou of
good old Izaak Walton, an enthusiastic
and successful angler, of course. One
evening while iu camp in the Adiron¬
dack*. he was challenged by a member of
the party whose knowledge of angling
was but slight.
The conditions were that they should
stand near each other bv the side of a
favorite pool, each easting into the pool
during a period of fifteen minutes, the
contest to be decided by count. Uncle
Reuben’s eyes glistened as the details of
the match were considered, and at the
same time he set about “making up” a
new cast of flics that he might be able to
do his best when the struggle came on
the following dav
It was prepared with all his wonted
skill, cunning aud delicacy, ‘cigar aud

for when the time came for the contest

A Revolting Spectacle.
Thc other day, in a city not a
miles from Seattle, a grandfather and
father were contending in court for
custody of a family of children. One

was placed on the witness-stand, and re
peatedlv declared: “I hate mv father I

Fate of a Glass Eater.
Maekay Holmes, described by persons
who have frequently seen hi n topical j
pure-blooded America n, wa.* killed at
Sweetwater. Miss., in u brawl brought ;
about, it is said, by the jealousy of a j
local merchant, whose customers were
being attracted from liis store by in ex¬
hibition of Holmes’s peculiar accomplish¬ |
ments, which consisted solely in his
ability to swallow with impunity or I I
pleasure articles that would be danger
ous or repulsive to the ordinary stomach. I
In the squabble Holmes received a fatal
shot from some unknown person.
Holmes's appetite for t( ■ aud other j
pointed km aw re was remarkable; but |
if he doted on an ything it was soda watci j
bottles, although he never turned away |
from glass articles, and had a well
developed taste for forty-rod whisky, j
Upon occasions, and for a reasonable •
purse made up by a crowd, he repeatedly
ate raw chickens, beginning on the uu
happy fowls while they were still alive.
At one town in Delta (for he was in
the Habit of going from place to place ;
exhibiting himself) lie varied tlie mo- j
notony of his bill of fare by drinking two
gallons of water as fast as iu could be |
dipped out. and handed to him. It must j
be told, however, he did this tn win a
bet of a pint of whisky. In the same i
town, after eating a live chicken, he an- j
nounced that on the-following day his I
bill of fare would consist of a lame and :
especially mangy dog that was then a
familiar object on the streets.
The gorge of the community rose at |
this, and Holmes was ordered to leate
the town at once. It does not appear
that he had anv aversion to ordinary
food, but rather that lie used the tn- .
fling articles already mentioned as other i I
ami ordinary men do pepper and fiery
sauces, solely as condiments.
Recently a circus offered him $50 per
week to travel with it, but he indig¬ I
nantly rejected the offer when he learned
that to earn the money he must subordi- j !
nate his will and pleasure to that of the
manager.
There is abundant evidence that he
practiced audiences, no sleight-of-liaud crushed tricks on his
nut actually with his
teeth and then sw allowed glass and other
1 hard substances.- Vickslarg ( merer u

HOW TO ENTERTAIN VEU..
A bostes: s, says Sirs. John Sherwcod
in Ladies' 11 Journal , should think
twice before she invites people to her
house. She should be so generous as to
let her friends alone, unless she wishes to
treat them well, Then, having made up
her mind to invite them, she must re¬
member that, from that moment she is
their si If she has notbiug to offer
them but a cup of tea, she must make it
a “beaker full of the warm south” by her
manner. Iu the smallest house, the
humblest surroundings, the hostess is
queen, and she must be gracious, If she
is not, she is a snob, a vulgarian and a
poor creature, no matter if her husband is
a millionaire, a president, or u great
scholar. A lady should be very particu
lar to specify whom she Wishes to see.and
no lady should go to a strange house un¬
invited, ou the spoken belief of some
other person that she will be welcome,
Still less should a gentleman presume too
much. A young gentleman may be
taken by a married lady, who is all
powerful, to a ball, as she is supposed to
endorse his respectability, but it is
always better for him to leave his card,
and for him to receive an invitation. If,
however, through any misapprehension,a
person gets into a house uninvited, a
hostess should never show by word or
manner, that sbo observes it. The very
fact that a person has crossed her thres
hold gives, for the moment, that person
a claim on the politeness of a hostess,
WOMEN AS COLLECTORS.
The avenues of employment for women
arc constantly increasing, says the Kansas
City Star. Already she has proved her
self a good clerk, a good bookkeeper
and a good typewriter, and the latest is a
f ( . nla ] t , collector At least it dozen
houses in K . msas city are employing
women in this capacity, ami their num¬
ber seems to be constantly increasing.
A woman maybe a bookkeeper or a type¬
writer and yet be the most feminine
creature imaginable, despite her business
relations, but the female dunner would
seem to be another kind of business
womar, and she brings forward verv
promptly the question of how much dis¬
tinction must be made between a woman
and a man in the same business. One
thing is certain, one cannot kick a lady
collector out of the office. The female
collectors arc for the most part young
women, and, according to their employ
ers, they are as persistent and successful
in their business as men. Their mode of
operation, however, is somewhat pecu
liar, and they do not seem to go about
the collection of a bill the same way as a
man. A reporter happened in an office
yesterday where fifteen or twenty young
men were working. While he was talk
ing with the manager a well-dressed
young woman walked in aud inquired
; for one of the young men. He was
i pointed out to her, and while the whole
i office watched her she walked over to his
I desk and began a conversation with him
iu a tone so low that no one could hear,
After talking ior a few moments she
turned to go, and, raising her voice,
said:

Mark Twain's Boyhood.
“He was always a rascal,” said R. E.
Morris, the painter, speaking of Mark
Twain. “I was bom and raised in Han¬
nibal, and know when Mrs. Clemens
I Mark's mother) moved from Florida,
Monroe County, to Hannibal. Mark was
a dull, stupid, slow-going fellow, but he
was full of pranks, and while he didn’t
do the meanness, he planned it and got
other boys to do it. He went to school
to I)r. Meredith, anil Mark always sat
near the foot of the class. He never
took any interest in books, and I never
saw him study his lessons. Ho left
school and went to learn the printing
business, and soon after that left Hanni¬
bal and went to steamboat ing.
“I stayed at school, got a good educa¬
tion, and am a painter, while Mark is a
millionaire. ' It is a scandalous fact that
as a boy from ten to seventeen years of
age Mark was a dull, stupid fellow, and
it was the wonder of the town as to
what end would be his. He was pointed
out by mothers as a boy that would never
amount to nothin’, if he did not actually
come to some bad end. And he was the
most homely lad in school, too. Pranks!
I can think of a dozen of ’em, and his
“Huckleberry Fiun” is full of Hannibal
episodes worked over. I read that with
as much interest as I would a diary of
Hannibal kept during my school days,
Mark is three years older than myself,
but he was always in a class of boys two
or three years younger than himself.”—

busy trade. Ou one corner is the splen¬
did palace of a nobleman, and on the
next the hovels of the very poor. Here
are groups of Buddhist priests in yellow
garb, shielding their faces with fans at
the sight of women, aud near them are
gangs of the toughest of convicts clank¬
ing their chains as they toil iu the streets.
Here are lepers horribly repulsive, unre¬
strained, and clamorous for alms, and
soon, perhaps, the King passes with a
brilliant retinue, sitting on his state
chair of solid gold. Fine ladies have
teeth as black as polished ebony, When

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
FEEDING COWS.
In tending cows there is less danger
in any departure from the strict rules of
feeding, and yet cows, although the milk
acts as a safety valve to let off t e exces
sive pressure in thi* way. are s hiect to
dax by infractions of these rule*, A
cow, of any breed, ha* more or less abil
ity to dispose of food above thf uatui*.
requirements for the maintenan: e of the
system. The excess of food is disposed
of in the production of milk, and it is
the business of the feeder to discover the
profitable ability of each cow m the herd
io this respect. Cows vary very much
in this natural ability. Some are verita¬
ble raids in this respect, taking in a
practically unlimited grist and turning
out a corresponding product. One cow
esi ially is reported to have eaten sev¬
enty-nine pounds of grain food in a day,
and yielded seven pounds of butter daily.
This, perhaps, is an unexampled instance
of the disposal of food, but the inevita¬
ble result happened—-it killed the cow.
The food was more than could be health
fully disposed of. Cows are not exempt and
from the ill results of overfeeding,
the safe way is to find what can lie done
with due regard to health and maintain
that point constantly while the product
calls for it. But, even then, there is
danger of an accumulation of unassim
ilated products in the animal which pro
duce or make the cow liable to milk
fever, tuberculosis, garget, or lung fever
in the end .—Nexo York Times.
STORING UNDER. SHELTER.
It is certainly imperative to includes store every the
thing under shelter. This
crops and the feed, the stock and the ma¬
chiuerv. lt is also an item, in storing
away, to arrange as far as possible for
convenience. Muc-h of the labor of feed¬
ing and earing for stock cau be reduced
by arranging the stock, ami providing
the feeding boxes and mangers, and stor¬
ing the feed where it can be fed out con¬
veniently. plan should
In putting away the tools a
be devised so that those that will be
needed first can be reached without be¬
ing obliged to move or take out such as
will not be needed until later. System
iu work always economizes time; in stor¬
ing the crops so that they can be reached
•ouveniently, as they are needed to feed
out; the stock so that they can be man¬
aged with as little difficulty as possible,
and the machinery so as to save time.
By having a place for everything, and
then making it a rule to put everything
in its place, much valuable time can be
saved, as very often much more time is
lost iu hunting up a tool or getting out
feed that is needed, than would have
been required twice over to have arranged
conveniently at the start, When no sys
tom or plan is followed things soon when get
misplaced, and time is lost often
wc c is pressing and the moments are
valuable. And this is not all. When
no particular system is followed, there is
vvaste; and what is wasted is lost, and
this lessens the profits. —Prairie Fanner.
MANURING FRUIT TREES.
If the best quality of fruit is to b? se¬
cured, and it is only the best quality that
pays the best profit, it is very necessary
to keep the soil at least reasonably rich.
While in many cases it may be sufficient¬
ly rich when the trees are first planted,
yet the growing of several crops while
the trees are making their growing, with
llic growth of grass that usually follows
and the crops of fruit that have been
grown after the trees commenced bearing,
must, to a considerable extent, have de¬
creased the available fertility.
Jt should be understood that the grow¬
ing of trees and maturing of a good crop
of fruit draws nearly or quite as heavily
upon the available plant food in the soil
as that of any other crop, and it is,
therefore, just as necessary to apply man¬
ure to the orchard, if the fertility of the
soil is to be maintained, as to the soil in
which the field crops are grown.
In nearly all cases the best way of ap¬
plying manure is to have the ground well
plowed and then scatter the manure
broadcast as evenly as possible; then
working into the soil with the harrow or
cultivator. But, with the orchard, as
with tlie meadows, it is not always desir¬
able or best to plow up; and then a good
plan is to use only well-rotted manure,
and make it fine and scatter evenly over
the surface. Ashes are a good fertilizer
to use in the orchard,but the manure and
ashes should not be applied together, of or
there will be more or less loss am¬
monia.
When the quality of the manure is in
' sufficient, considerable benefit be
may
derived by scattering under the trees as
far out ns the leaves and branches extend.
It is not a good plan to pile it up around
the trunks of the trees.
Whatever material is used will be best
scattered broadcast over tlie soil, under
the trees first, aud over tlie whole sur¬
face when the quantity of manure is suf¬
ficient. The roots extend out a consid¬
erable distance, and the trees will be
able to derive a larger amount of benefit
if the manure is scattered broadcast.
With young trees the manure should not
be allowed to come iu contact with the
roots.
In manuring trees when setting them
out, the manure should lie worked into
the soil thoroughly before filling in
around the roots. One of the poorest plans
of applying manure to young trees is to
throw the manure in the bottom of the
place prepared for the tree and then set
in the tree and fill in soil. So far as pos
ble the manure should always be incor¬
porated with the soil. —11 estern literal.

A pig that is stunted in the early days
or weeks of its life, should never have a
