The Army Of People Who Exploro
the Rubbish on Paris Streets.
The wealth OF Paris is so boundless
that the rubbish and refuse OF the city
nre worth millions, says II writer in
Iiarper's Magazine. There are more
than 10000 persons who earn n liv-
ing by picking up what others throw
away. Twenty thousand women and
children exist by sitting and sorting
the gatherings OF the pickers, who col
lect every dayin the year about 200
tons of merchandise, which they sell
to the wholesale racdealcrs for some
10000 francs. At night you see men
with baskets strapped on their backs.

you see men, women and chill
dren sitting the dust.hins before
they are emptied INTO the scay-
engers carts. At various hours
OF he day you may remark isolated
ragpickers, who seem to work with
less method than the others and with
more Independent air. Tho night
! pickers are generally noviccs; men
who, having been thrown out OF work.
are Obliged TO hunt for their living like
tho wild beasts. The morning pickers
are experienced and regular workers,
who pay for the privilege OF sitting the
dust.b bins OF certain number OF
houses and OF trading with the results.
The rest, the majority, are the cour-
eurs, the runners, who exercise their
profession freely and without control,
working when they please and loafng
when they please. They are the phil
osophers and adventurers OF the pro-
fession, and their chief object is to en-
JOY life and mediate upon its prob
lens.

The civil war was, in the main, grim
and bloody, but occasionly n gleam
ofhumor lighted the life OF n soldier,
Colonel James Ross Howard of tho
Confederate army, who died recently
in Washington, was brave man and
officer. A mcmber OF his staff tells
this story OF him:
eve were in the kentucky cam
paign under Kirby Smith, and ono
day tho Colonel myself and two
others got separated from the regi-
ment. We hadg gone up considerable
hill to look for the Yankees, but failed
to find any. Bleckberrics were ripe.
and we stopped to enjoy them. All
of us kept our bridle-reins over our
arms but Howard, who tied his
mount to tree. laid aside his sworc
and pistols, and proceeded to enjoy
himself. / suggested that it was well
not to get too far from his horse. as
Yankees were uncertain. Oh said
he there isn't q Yankee within twenty
miles of here.
"IIe had hardly got tine words out
OF his mouth before four tall raw.

side OF u clump OF hazels, and covered
us with their rifles, while the sergeant

replied, Speak OF the devil, ana you'll

"lie went ON picking and eating,
and tho Federals lowered their rifles
and looked at him in a surprised way,
and began an onslaught on the big
berries. We chatted with them while
we ate, and found them very agreeable
companions. When we had finished,
Colonel Howard said, We'll, arc You

pose to take us with your"
