 The morgue of Paris is visited by many ;oaris,s, as it has been much written .oout- Ii is low building southeast of Soue Dame church, where unknown vic
 ms of drowning or mysterious death are exposed 10 view for three days for the 2arpose of identification. Inqaests are i.so held there. The public are admitted n,o hail that opens upon the street, and looking through large windows they new the cadavers that are extended upon benches facing them, m the clothing in which they were found. The bodies orought there ndmber about Soo annu- ally, one-sevenih being women. Mon- cay IS the day when the largest number q victims is exposed. Many are taken rom the Seine, victims of suicide. Some are young. but the majority are old ard ndigent, who have taken this route of es- ape from the troubles that environed hem. Then there are others whose faces show signs of some cruel violence by shich they came to their end-murder- ed and left in the street or thrown into he Seine. Painful recogni,ions of friends sometimes occur. A few days ago curl GUS visitors to this grim domicile were startled by loud shrek and woman in he group sank fainung 10 the floor She lad recognized in one of the victims the ,orpse of her husband who had been missing for several days. One of the saddest incidents related of the morgue $ that of an American tourist who was ed there by curiosity one day. He had parted from his wife only a couple of hours before, when she left him in order 70 do some shopping. When he looked through the window of the house of death he frs, object that met his horrihed gaze gas the lifeless body of his wife. She had been run over and killed on the street, and as there was nothing on her person 10 indicate who she was or her residence, her body was placed m the norgue according to the usual custom. There are daily records of suicides m the oarnals. They cannot throw themselves rom the sum nit ofthe Column lendome as formerly, for II IS closed to visitors. bu, he Seine cannot be shut up and they md abundant means of exit One unfor- innate precipitated himself, the other day. rom a high elevation in one of the parks -Buues-C s-Chaumont-and was dashed to ceath upon the rocks below. A work nan out of work" was the brief explana- ton of the journal that recorded the cir cumstance. There is a multitude of pzrisian workmen out of work some say thirty thousand. On sunny days one can see them dozing on steps, under the trees and in retired hooks. An unemployed sogiunan Is very fond of outdoor repose. Who knows how many of them seek to aaunt the psngs of hunger by sleep? Last 'pring, it will be remembered, they as- in body in the Place des In- ses;des and made an assault upon bread shops, and strong body of police was aecessary to disperse them, serious trou- ble being apprehended.
