Curfoua Trades of Parisians.

M. Rossignol, the well known Partisan
police officer, has compiled list of some
of the extraordinary trades" exercised
in Paris, Of which the following is a Sc
lection Ratters, who capture living rats
and sell them to exhibitors Of curious
beasts; collectors, who gather sewer
grease and seize the corks and shoppers
at the Suresnes sewer grating; stampers,
who beg bread crusts, which they sell
again; ant egg collectors, who take their
gatherings on Sundays to the bird mar
kets; bird professors, who offer their
services at that market as trainers Of
blackbirds, canaries and parrots; "sen-
stors," who ere none other than the
commissionaires of the flower market,
and merchants for the sale Of night shell
ter numbers, who stand in line and re-
sell their tickets to their more fortunate
brethren.-Pall Mall Budget.

MT. Cariisie's Fsvorits Recreation.

While Mr.. Carlisle is a great brain
worker and has capacity to get through
q large amount of mental labor which is
exhausting as well to the physical body,
yet he is fond Of pleasure and recreation.
His chief recreation is a small game of
draw poker-a sort of family game-at
his residence, one or two evenings during
the week, with a few invited friends.
The ante Is only cents, and the limit
but % cents. He always plays in bad
luck-I think quits the game four out
Of five times loser.
The fives and deuces seem to have q
great fondness for his hand. One rarely
deals without giving him a deuce or q
five, and he never fails to call the atten-
ton Of the players to the fact with the
exclamation: Heres that deuce" or
Here's that five again. ! get 1t every
time" But all the same he enters into
the spirit of the game with as much ear
nestness as he does In solving q great
question In political economy, and from
these poker party meetings he derives q
great deal Of keen enjoyment and much
needed recreation.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

A Relic of the Crciser Alabama.

Arthur Sinclair, who wa3 a lieu
tenant in the Confederate cruiser
Alabama, has valuable relic in con
nection with the famous vessel. 1t
is a photograph showing the middle
section Of the spar deck. The vessel
is coaling. boats are swung On their
davits, hammock cloths arc hauled
over the nettings as a protection
from coal dust, and the battery is
run in to allow the coal barge to ride
alongside in safety. This picture
was taken at Cape Town, Cape of
Good Hope, and includes pictures OF
Lieutenants Richard T. Armstrong
and Arthur Sinclair. They are rep
resented as leaning against gun Of

ground is a Hottentot laundryman

luck In GGt! Numbers.

As to tho truth Of tie statement
that there is luck III cdd siutnhcr@
we have no less al authority than
Rory O'lfore. Whether this c. -'ess--
sion means Good Or bad lv,el1 a: rot
certain, hut the common assumption
is that good luck is what l., meant.
as there is probably not a farmers
wife in New Jersey or Long Island
who would tempt fate by setting a.
hen on an even number of eggs.
Numbers, both odd and even, have
been credited with mystic powers ca
paole Of influencing the destinies OF
mankind. Ii is possible that this be-
lief was due in the first instance to q
sense of awe and reverence with
which the laws of mathematics were
regarded by those too ignorant to-
understand them.
The fact, too, that the third, fifth
or sixth note in an octave harmonlzes
with the first may i'll some measure
account for the superstitiouss ilnpor-
tance with which these numbers
have been regarded. Two we have

The artist Turner was an interesting
talker, ard was not only prodigal Of
interesting information, but of bril-
liant repartee.
He was once at dinner party at
the poet Campbell's, and spoke OF
art in such way that his listeners
believed him to consider it superior
to all other professions. After this
the poet rose, and having alluded
with mock gravity to his friends

Taking the Wall.

The following extract from Dss

to fix the date Of the present custom

in the last age says johnson,
when my mother lived ii London,
there were two sets of peol*'e-those
who gave the wall and those "iio

took it. Now it is fixed that every
man keeps to the right, or il c-le Is
taking the will another yields it,
and it is 1sever a dispute.
The period to which this IS referred
is 1887. do not think that the GUS
tom of walking on the right hand

It contained eight rowsof houses two
