The TradeIess People OF Paris.


In great city like Paris there are thou
sands Of persons who have no trade or pro-
fession, and who are obliged to resort to all
sorts of tricks to get their daily bread.
Some manage to accomplish this feat hon.
estly, while others work unscrupulously
upon the credulity of their fellows. Vau-
devillists and caricaturists repeatedly exer-
else their wit at the expense Of the unfor-
tunate ones whom necessity forces into
strange and improbable callings. Doubt
less these wits often exaggerate the reality.
but the fact remains that there are quanti-
ties Of poor wretches here who really get
their living by pursuing the queerest and
most ingenious occupations.
IL you question one OF these tradeless in
dividuals upon his manner of living he
will reply. "Oh. have dodgeT 1t Is
very rare that he will consent to give you
more ample explanations. For common
mortais his way of procuring food, clothing
and lodging Is decidedly enigmatical.
These men who invent "dodges" generally
live In furnished lodgings. where the
chambers contain several beds.
A ''dodger" divines. so to speak, man
who is in the same line of business, and the
similarity OF their characters unites them
on common footing. They club together
to get rid Of the strange merchandise that
others have invented The one who creates
doss not reveal his manner Of inventing to
his partner. and this one In his turn con-
ceals ~ well as ne can the profits obtained
by the sale. The mistrust IL reciprocal.
The principal dodgers are the street ped.
dIers who hawk about the thousand and
one ingenious toys that are constantly In
vented in this great city. who sell newspa-
pers when they have few francs In their
pocket to buy stock from the wholesale
dealers in Rue da Croissant or who traffic
in theater tickets during the evening"

None but France have tried the experiment and their verdict, after a short trial was, if there be no God il is better for man tn invent one, for no nation can be founded on Atheism.
 How much better still to accept the true and real God, as presented by Christianity, which makes the highest appeal to human intelligence by presenting no blood-thirsty god, delighting in human sacrifices and the pain of his worshippers, no gray en image or work of man $ hand, flo myth, or superstition, no higher or der of beings subject to fayoritsm and mans passions and vices, no general idea of all Nature as One Be ing, no Supreme Being bound up by Laws of Nature, but a true, living and personal God, omnipotent ill power, omniscient in knowledge and kind and merciful in character, Who punishes the wicked and rewards the righteous, and Who can and will assist us in every phase of life.
 Since Christianity is the purest system of ethics, and the only true religion. it should and will be more widely disseminated and its teach ings more fully adopted as the guide to national, social and individ- ual life, and it will continue to eIe- vate nations, society and individuals, as it has done for almost two thousand years.
