Thu Paris Rar-pIokers.

A curious series of statistics estab-
fishes the value OF The refuse of the
Paris streets. The figures seem in.
credible, and show that the rag-pick-
ers discharge duty Of primary i'm
poftance. Working at night, busy
Iunder the gas. lights with hook and
panicr, the value of what they collect
is estimated at f2, 900 each day AS
ISuredly one half the world does not
know how the other half lives. OF
course the conditions of Paris life are
exceptional. Population is very close,
The Tall houses are crammed with in
haoitants, there are gardens as with
sW--there are but the houses and the
streets. The Parisians have a way of
iemptying all kinds of lumber and re-
fuse mtg the streets, and then the
ag-pickers gather in their harvest.
"A use is found for everything, and
metamorphosis never ceases. All the
details are Interesting, though some
are rather disturbing Rags, of
course, go to make paper; broken
glass is pounded and serves as a coat
ing for sand or emery paper; bones
after the process of cleaning and cut
ting down, serve to make nail brushes,
tooth brushes, and fancy buttons; lit
tile wisps of women's hair are care
yully unraveled, and do duty for false
hair by and by. Mems hair collected
outside the BARRIERS serves for filters
through which syrups are strained;
bits of sponge arescut up and used for
spirit lamps; bits Of bread IL dirty are
toasted and grated, and sold to the
restaurants for spreading on hams or
outlets; sometimes they are carbonized
and made into tooth powder. Sar-
~dine boxes are cut up into tin soldiers
or into sockets for candlesticks. A
silk hat has whole chapter of adj

A School for the Insane.

The pupils range in age from fourteen
to seventy-seven. Preference, however,
is given to the younger ones who desire
to attend, more than half being under
forty, nearly one-third under thirty, and
about one eighth under twenty years of
age. They suffer from the various forms
of mental trouble, but here again prefer
ence is given to those who have melan-
cholia and the more acute forms of in
sanity. Chronic cases are not excluded,
however, and among those who can re-
ceive no benefit save the two hours daily
relief from the Inonotony of asylum life
are two Virgin Marys, one queen of the
world, one daughter of ex-President
Cleveland who is nearly seventy years of
age, two who imagine that they have
passed from the scenes of earth and
dwell among the dead, and one who has
the curious delusion that people are con-
stantly walking upon her fingers. As
durable cases, and those most likely to
recover, are the ones who geneally at
tend the school, the direct curative in
fluences can not be accurately estimated;
but, as might be expected, the most en-
couraging results are met with in the
young and in those whose insanity has
been of comparatively short duration.
can recall two cases where the patient
could not read Or write before becoming

both before returning home. Three
Others also occur to me who appeared
to be in the depths of dementia, but
were, after several days of patient trial,
made to feel an interest in ''puzzle
map" and each went on uninterruptedly
to recovery and home. Another patient
is the terror of the ward, in which she
stays until ten o'clock in the morning,
when she goes quietly to school and re-
mains for two hours one of the most in
terested of them all. After leaving the
school she again becomes ugly and irri-
table, and it is only the fear of being
kept away frsm it that makes her at all
controllable. Surely these scattered in
stances show results sufficient to justify
the efforts made; but I am sure that,
even where the results are not so marks,
the school is at least an important ID
junct to employment, games, out-of doer
exercise, and amusements. II tlar

A Fly speck Maao sfe Drfrerence.

In one Of our large establishments
connected with the iron industry
there occurred recently an apparent
discrepancy in the accounts involving
a matter of 1000 pounds of scrap iron.
The clerks Of the department were
set to work to unravel the tangled
skein, and after they had expended
two whole days in the search they
were compelled to give up the task
and pronounce it beyond their compre-
hension. Thus matters stood for
several days.
Several days later the office-boy de-
cided to keep himself in practice in
addition by footing up column Of
figures on a sheet which was lying on
a desk beside him in the scrap-iron
department. Bending his energies to
the task he got along swimmingly
with the units, tens, and hundreds
columns, but when he came to the
fourth column he could not make it
agree with the footings set down.
Again and again he tried it and with
the same results, 900 less. Going
over the figures one by one his atten-
ton was drawn to queer looking
one. A fly speck was beside it in such
position as to make it appear like
four, and as such it had been counted
by each of the clerks in the depart
ment. The boy had earned his pro-
motion, and he got Philadelphia

! The bnor and credit Of pointing out
the benefit Of glasses to MD defective
vision belongs to Roger Bacon, who
lived from 1914 to 1892. Spectacles
were actually invented in the year 1880,
the man who conferred this great bless
ing on suffering humanity being Alex
andria Bpinia, monk of Pisa, who, died
in 1913.
In the early stages of the art the spec
tacles made were rude and crude, the
glasses very rough, though they rendered
great aid to the afflicted. At the pres.
ent time an optician who understands
his business can, by successive expert
ments, discover the actual defects Of the
eye and furnish a glass that will make
the eye almost perfect. The perfection
in the means of assistance is due to the
experiments and inventions of DIR. Schef.
Ger and DR.. Giraud, of Paris. The lat
ter scientist promulgated the idea and
the former practically put the theory in
operation.

One of Them Runs Down Lady at
Third and l Streets.
1t is about time that all bicycle riders
began to observe the ordinance which
prohibits the riding of wheels on the
sidewalks within certain limits A large
number of the wheelmen of the city are
careful not to transgress the law, but
there are a few who persist in so doing.
Only week ago one of them ran down
a man on Second street, but it happened
in that case that the rider got the worst of
it. Yesterday afternoon lady was cross
ing / street, at Third, when two riders
came along the sidewalk on their
''safetys" at such speed that a collision
was unavoidable, and in this instance the
lady was the sufferer. She was knocked
down with such violence that she was
stunned for some minutes.
While the rider was getting his bicycle
and himself out of harm'S way as rapidly
as possible there were several very in
dignant citizens dangerously near his
companion assisted the lady to rise and
helped her across the street
The least that can be said about the
matter is that the bicyclists showed alto
gether too much regard for their own
convenience and too little consideration
for the safety of others by riding their
wheels on the sidewalk of thickly
crowded downtown street. Nearly all
the wheelmen of the city are gentlemen,
and there are probably none that would
Intentionally injure any one, but there
are a few very careless ones, and these
should turn over a new leaf before they

WATER WORKS FUEL.
Which Kind of Coal is the Best and
Yet the Cheapest.
The Problem With Which the City
Trustees are Now wrestling
Result of Tests.

The Board of City Trustees had a spec
ial meeting at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon for the purpose of awarding the
contract for furnishing coal to the Water
Works for the coming year.
Jud. c. Brusie, representing the lone
Coal Company, asked that action be de-
ferred until next Monday.
Trustee Conklin said he had the report
of Chief Engineer Judd, who tested the
different Goals, and advised that it be
read. 1t was as follows:
Running eight hours each day, with
lone coal, the Stevens pump raised 1885,
700 gallons, and the Holly raised POI, ,118,
making total of 2,053,S18 gallons.
Twelve thousand pounds of coal were
used.
with Seattle. screenings the Stevens
pump raised 1,771, 1852 gallons and the
Holly 339,648 gallons, making total of
2, Ill 900 gallons. There were 5000 pounds
of this coal used"
The difference between the bids of the
two companies amounts to only 43 cents
on every million gallons of water pumped,
that OF the Seattle company being the
lowest.
Mr.. Schaw, representing the lone Coal
Company, said he did not believe eight
hours was fair test, and as there was
such slight difference in the relative
merits of the fuel, he believed a longer
test might bring about different result.
Trustee Conklin said he had the tests
made for the benefit of the city, and for
the purpose of determining which was
the cheaper fuel. He believed that Engi-
neer Judd was very careful in making
the tests.
Mr.. Hall, of the Sacramento Coal Com
pany, thought the board should award
the contract to his company. The tests
had proven that his coal was the cheapest.
Mr.. Brusie wanted the awarding Of the
contract delayed until next Monday He
did not think the city would suffer any
by the delay, and it was reasonable to
suppose that she might gain something.
The Sacramento Coal Company's bid was
really but six cents lower than that of
his company.
Trustee Mclaughlin asked that the
Chief Engineer be called, and he was
asked whether or not he considered an
eight-hour test just as fair to one com
p2ny'S fuel as it was to anOther's
Mr.. Judd stated that both companies
had an equal chance, but he thought a
twenty-fOur-hour test would have been
more satisfactory. The eight-hour test.
however. was just as fair for the one as
the other.
We're working in the interests of the
taxpayers" said Mr.. Brusie, "as well as
for our company"
Il guess we're also looking out for the
taxpayers" retorted Trustee Conklin,
somewhat piqued at Mr.. BRUSHES re-
mark.
The latter explained that what he said
was meant to be cOngratulatorY to the
members of the board, and not as an in
sinuation that they were not doing their
duty.
The roll was called on the question as
to whether or not the awarding of the
contract should be postponed until next
Monday, and the Mayor and Trustee
Conklin voted aye, and the motion was
carried.

MINERAL CABINET.
Important Repairs and Improvement
Ordered Made.

Important Repairs and Improvements
Ordered Made.
The Board of Trustees of the State
Mineral Cabinet met yesterday afternoon
at o'clock, and after full consideration
of the matter, resolved to make long
desired and very important repairs and
improvements in the cabinets now in the
Art Gallery.
The present cabinets were made some
twenty-five years ago, and consist of up
right cases of glass on base of drawers.
Inside the cases are tiers of walnut
shelves sloplng outward. The modern
and best style of cabinet is low flat case,
upon the article shown, and have direct
light upon it.
Some time ago the board on three of
the cases had the upper drawers pulled
half out and covered with glass, thus
creating some forty feet of narrow flat
cases. The board has now passed reso-
luton to take out the wooden shelves in
the upright cases which interrupt the
light and necessitate a circuit of
each cabinet to see the speci-
mems. In place of the wood shelves
there will be two flat shelves Of glass the
full length of each case, the lower one be-
ing One-third wider than the upper. On
these shelves the specimens will be
placed, without the paper boxes now in
use. The improvement will be very
important one, and will greatly inhance
the value of the cabinet and the interest
OF spectators.
When this work is completed other
drawers will be converted into flat cases,
thus increasing the cabinet room and en-
abling some 800 specimens for which
there has been no shelf space to be placed
and catalogued. The new arrangements
will also enable the Trustees to place
new contributions which are made from
time to time, on view as soon as
received. The work will be entered upon
in a few days, and one case completed as
proposed before the others are treated, in
order to benefit. by any improvements
that may suggest themselves while the
work goes on. While the first case is be-
ing thus repaired and improved, the cab
inet-room will be closed to the public, of
which due notice will be given. Secre-
tary DR.. Pyburn was appointed a COM
mittee to superintend the work, full esti-
mates for which have been made.
