THE CHlFFONIER.
A Ruined Institution in tho Great City of
PRri4.

A Ruined Institution in tho Great City Of
Paris.
The chiffoniers of Paris have lost
their trade-at least it has become so
totally modified that they no longer
pursue it in its ancient form. The
waste and dirt from every house used
to be poured out into the street before
the front door each evening at nine or
ten o'clock, and the chiffonier, with
his lantern and his hook in his hands
and his basket on his back, arrived at
once and raked the heaps over, to see
what he could find in them. But it be-
came forbidden, says Blachwoods
Magazine, either to throw the refuse
into the street or to bring it out at
night
1t was prescribed that 1t should be
carried down in the early morning in
box, which is placed, full, at the door,
and Is emptied before nine o'clock in
the dust carts, which go round each
day. The chifoniers, therefore, have
no longer the opportunity of picking
over the dirt, for it has ceased to offer
Itself in an accessible form; they have,
for the most part, to carry on their
trade after the refuse is discharged
from the carts at the depots, and, con-
sequently, have almost disappeared
from the streets. They cannot be re-
garded as loss, for they were, Of
necessity, dirty and Dad smelling, and
looked, as they prowled about with
their dull lanterns in the dark, like
specters of miserable evilness. But,
all the same, they were thoroughly
typical Of old Paris.

Competent Authority.

An old Waterman, who used to keep
guard in the department of justice,
says Kate Fields Washington, from
long association with the legal lights
in the building believed he had i'm
bibed fair share Of learning in the
law, and SO when one night telegram
addressed to the attorney general came
after hours, he had no hesitancy in
opening it and reading its message. It
asked the question: us man to be
held responsible for q crime committed
while under the influence of uquor?"
The Waterman pondered over this mes
sage for some time, and, as he knew
what the influence Of liquor was. he
sent the laconic answer: mo, indeed.
(Signed) John Jones, in charge of de-
partment Of Justice" OF course there
was an immediate attack on the attor-
ney general for such a decision, and
the matter came to the ears Of the de-
partment- An Investigation was made
and the Waterman suspended for three
months. This>did not worry him, how
ever. With effrontery that simply
dumfounded the clerks, he came to the
building every payday during that
time OF suspension and drew his salary.

is denied by the leaders of the move

drilled for the purpose of furnishing
the United States with trained soldiers

standing this assertion, it has leaked
out that Ireland's cause is the princi-
pal object of the movement. One of

WOMAN'S WIT.
Told by a Society Girl
Something About Morphine, Sulphur. Mo-

From the Evening Ne,cs, Ne,cark, Y. J.
Among the popular society leaders in
East Orange, N. j., Emma L. Ston, charm
ing young maiden, stands in the foremost
rank. She is of lovable disposition and
the light of the social set in which she
moves. For two years she has been sick
girl from internal troubles peculiar to wom-
en-, and having recently recovered, has
given our reporter the following interesting
account:
''fnstead Of improving under the care of
my physician l became worse. For five
weeks I was unable to get out Of bed and
about six o'clock each morning suffered
horribly. My lips We're sore and lacerated
from the marks Of my teeth, for in my eff
teeth deep into my lips. At such times
rolled and tossed until the bed shook like
an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious
that the doctor-I won't tell you his name
gave nle some morphine pills to take. The
very thought of them now makes me SILVER.
for awhile and when I became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
1.-The pain in my stomach and back was
more than l could stand. Your blood is

that l was not molasses cake. 1t was time
wasted il taking it because was not bene-
flied in the least; my suffering continued,
Out DE mighty EFFORT AFTER De1ng In bed so
long, got up. Oh, but I was sad sight
then. From l12 pounds, had fallen to
ninety; my cheeks We're pale and sunken
and limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Then read Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and the testimonial in the Nsws inspired me
with hope. I got the pills and took them.
Before many days began to improve and
before had finished one box felt as if
could go out and walk for miles. I soon
stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
l soon bid goodbye to my headaches while
the pain in my stomach and back slowly
but surely succumbed to the influence Of
these pills that seem to be able to persuade
all pain to leave ones body. Now am as
used to be; well and strong. ight-hearted
and merry but never without the pills. See
l have got some of them now," and from
a nearby desk she handed out one Of the
boxes.

An Oregonian's Great Scheme.

A young man who not long ednce
found the pleasures of city life pail on
him and went out into Washington
county to be jolly farmer claims to
have discovered a method of utilizing
oak grubs, which, If 1t works. says
the Portland Oregonian. will prove the
greatest discovery of the age, as far as
farming in Oregon is concerned Every
one who has had anything to do with
farming in the Willamette valley
knows what nuisance oak grubs are.
They are young oak trees, which in
many places cover large tracts, and
are called grubs because the only
way Of getting rid of them is by
grubbing them up. They have caused
more backaches and heartaches and
the use of more profanity than any
other kind of grub in the state, though
the grub furnished in some places is
enough to make a saint swear. Well,
this genius of a farmer has grated all
his oak grubs with chestnut scions, and
says they are doing finely, and in few
years he will be fattening vast droves
OF hogs on chestnuts, and he can at
ford to laugh at farmers who raise
wheat to fatten hogs
