How the Paris Streets Are Cleaned.

How the Paris Streets Are Cleaned.
The ragpickers of Paris do a work for
which other cities pay large sums annually
to street cleaning departments. Accord
Ing to an English writer they toll at night,
and the value Of what they collect is esti-
mated atS10,0 900 for each tw%enty-four hours.
OF course the conditions of Paris life are
exceptional. Population is very close; the
tall houses are crammed with inhabitants;
there are no gardens-there are but the
houses and the streets. The Parisians have
a way Of emptying all kinds of lumber and
refuse into the streets, and then the rag
pickers gather in their harvest. A use is
found for everything, and metamorphosis
never ceases. All the details are interest
ing, though some are rather disturbing.
Rags, of course, 20 tomake paper; broken
glass is pounded, and serves as the coating
for sand or emery paper; bones, after the
process of cleaning and cutting down,
serve to make ~nailbrushes and tooth
brushes and fancy buttons; little wisps Of
women's hair are carefully unraveled and
do duty for false hair by and by; mems
hair, collected outside the BARRIERS, serves
for filters through which sirups are strain
ed; bits of sponge are cut up and used for
spirit lamps; bits of bread, if dirty, are
toasted and grated, and sold to the restau-
rants for spreading on hams or outlets;
sometimes they are ~carbonized and made
into tooth powder; sardine boxes are cut
up into tin soldiers or into sockets for
candlesticks; a silk hat has a whole chap
ter of adventures in store for it. All this
work employs a regiment of ragpickers
numbering close on 10000.

A New Pet Dog Expected.

1t seems that fashion has decreed the
Punishment of the pug, the greyhound, the
terrier, the bull and other pet varieties of
dog in order to make room for a new breed
of canine-new at least to Christian coun-
tries. Its home is Morocco, and the Moors
are excessively proud Of it. They like to
keep it to themselves, and are jealous of
European interference. So jealous are they
that, until quite lately, no native dog was
allowed under any circumstances to cross
the frontier. The most strenuous efforts
were made to keep the breed at home. It
was not allowed to bring the dogs into
Tangier lest they might be struggled across
the Mediterranean. The law, though popu-
lar, was necessarily too tyrannical in its
application. The sultan was petitioned;
stringency is to be relaxed. Tangier is to
be a free port, and the Morocco dogs are to
cross the Mediterranean and eventually
the Atlantic.

lightning calculator of Hazel Hill, Mo. He
Is forty years old, uncultured, and yet the
greatest master of numbers now living,
He will talk with one person, or a very
small group, for a small sum per hour, yet
absolutely refuses to exhibit, or, as he says,
Ito be made a show Of"
10 test him one examiner recently called
off several numbers running into ~trillions
as fast as he could speak, and Rube gave
the total as soon as the speaker paused for
breath. Another, having written the. fig
ures and added them without speaking,
asked him:
"Can you add 26,s96, 432 to 1888, $40 to
6o,59s, e24, 1873 to 1,s48, o2s, oo1 to 14,s74 with
out stopping to fgureP"
"That maktJ II, 473, 400, 494 =" he instantly
replied, with a laugh at what he consid-
cred the simplicity of the question. Some
of his conceptions are so daring that they
seem like blasphemy. He says that God
sent hin to reveal the great secret of time
and eternity, and that by and by he will
be ordered to declare it. He will then 20
to heaven n come back with the angel
Gabriel; they will stand side by side at the
resurrection, and he will announce the
numbers as the nations are divided off for
their final destiny. "Who else could do
ita" is his triumphant question.
God has created but one Samson, one
Solomon, one Christ, one Shakespeare, one
Gladstone, one George Washington and
one Rube Field"-such is his ~favorite
statement. He can tell the time to the
half minute without clock or watch, and
can do it when suddenly walked from the
soundest sleep. He can also announce at
will the time in any city on the globe, the
distance in miles or measurement of long
itude and the difference between that and
local time to the second. He can give no
explanation Of his power. "If 1 could tell
you you'd be as smart as I am" is his an
swer. He enjoys the most perfect s~atisfac-
ton with himself, and says he really pities
other people; but he has an especial pity
for Jay Gould. "See the work that man
does and can't take it with him when he
dies. But you bet I'll take what I've got
along with me-"
Another strange thing is his power over
brutes. The ~fiercest dogs are gentle to
him, a wild horse will submit readily to
his handling and q vicious bull pays no at
tention to him. He handles rattlesnakes
and copperheads with impunity. He form
erly ate enormous quantities, but is now
quite abstemious. He declares that he
will marry if he can find & woman as
smart as himself, but won't hitch onto
no common fool" He enjoys his local
fame, but looks forward to the next world
as his great field; where he will rank next
to st. Peter. His family have tried in vain
to induce him to travel and give exhibi.

Pembina. In addition the present chair
man and secretary were made members
of that committee.
The discussion of eligibility on this
committee brought out the facts that nc
one should be appointed who would act
with any other party in preference to the
prohibition party. Several names for the
committee were proposed, and it being
doubted whether they were more loyal tc
the alliance or the republican organiza.
lions than to the one in question, their
m were dropped.
Walter Muir, while not speaking ofic.
tally for the alliance, said it had adopted
prohibition in it's platform and if the
peoples party did not do so, the state
organization would.
Mr. Dickie stated that they desired
mon on this committee who would not
repudiate it after being named, and
would not come out with an open letter
saying that we have made a mistake.
He said, "it is important to know who
are with YOU"
The committee was istructed to call a
state convention not later than March 26,
W, "for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the national prohibition conven-
ton, and for the TRANSACTION of any other
business"
Chairman Dickie stated that the com.
mittee would probably need funds for
its work, and to give them a start the
national committee would pledge 500
for the preliminary expenses of getting
a list of each reliable prohibitionist IN
the state.
After some general discussion the cor
ference was adjourned and the members
went to the court house to hear the pro-
ceedings of the state enforcement league
which was there in session.
The republican-prohibit1onists in the
city to-day largely outnumber the 9TH
ers. The feeling developed at an in
formal conference this morning-held at
the parlors Of the Gladstone-showed
the direction of the wind to be decidedly
opposed to third party action, although
there was an equally positive sentiment
favorable to third party action. Messrs.
Walter Muir of Hunter, Barnum of
Mayville, Dickie of New York, and 9TH
ers favored independent political action.
Messrs. Pollock of Fargo, Congressman
johnson and others present we're unfa.
vorable to independent action by the
prohibitionists, and expressed determi-
nation to fight the temperance battle
within the republican lines.

Washington Items.

M. M. Miller, who was connected with
the Commonwealth during it's campaign
against Pierce, and now special agent of
the census bureau, is back in North Da-
kota from Washington, D. G. He in
forms the Grand Forks Herald that the
Dakota colony at the national capital is
prosperous and happy. R. N. Stevens
OF Lisbon has a berth in the department
of justice in the Indian depredations
claims division. Fred Denney of May
vile gets $1,000 in the senate postofice.
Frank Sebring of New Rockford has re-
signed from the census to take a place
as book-keeper for a furniture firm in
Washington. Miss Wheat is still in the
treasury department., having held her
position for sixteen years, and Mr.. John
son of Fargo is still holding down his
place in the Porter census. Mr.. Miller
thinks Washington the greatest city on
earth, but with all it's culture cannot
measure up to the great west. He says:
washington city is full of bright young
men whose people have held office for
years and paid their boys college ex-
penses until the young graduate with
high class honors is ready to go forth to
the battle of life. And it is amusing to
a westerner to hear the lofty confidence
with which the bright young graduate
and his friends lay plans for the young
hopeful to go out west, practice law a
couple of years and then come back to
congress, the unconscious assumption
running through all the plans being that
the young graduate has but to go out
and display his college talents to the
denizens of the wild and woolly west in
order to receive at once political recog-
milton of his superior ability. But while
the theory is a beautiful one, it don't
hold in practice and when, after a cou-
pie of years. absence, the young man
graduates, friends come out to look for
him they find his shingle blown down
and the young man himself driving a
street car, or a stage coach, or running a
t%hreshing crew instead Of coming back
to congress- But the pale, bookish color
of the college has left the young gradu-
ate's face and his cheeks are red with
the prairie breezes, his muscles husky
with the exercise of a healthy, rustling
life, and to the horror of all his eastern
friends he declares he would rather work
in a harvest field on the western prairies
than to have a job in the overcrowded
stores or Offices of the effete east.
