Strange French Trade.

Says the Pail Mall Gazette: Every Wis
itor to Paris has observed the ragged in
diyiduals who perambulate the boulevard
and peer in among the tables and chairs
in front Of the cafes in search of cigar
and cigarette ends, which they deity
harpoon by. means of benz pins on the
end OF stick. The megottiers, as they
are called, are now trying to form a
mutual protection syndicate. Their rea
son is that the police interfere with them
too much. This singular trade occupies
three classes of persons-the picker, the
cleaner and the salesman. The purchas-
ers consist chiefly of masons, who all
come from the country districts of Linn
ousin and Grouse, and are delighted to
get large packet of tobacco for I'd.
There exist, moreover, real tobacco shop
keepers who purchase the vile stuff and
mix it with good tobacco, the profits
derived therefrom being naturally CON
siderable.

CT the terrible death of lone prospec-
tor. Allan Cameron by name. Cameron
had been spending some time prospecting
alone in the rocky wildernesses back of
Shoal bay. He lived alone in a cabin
be had erected for himself, and no eye
saw him in his last days, and no human
aid was near when he was called by
death.
The evidence gathered by the provin-
cial police and the loggers tends to show
that Cameron, while away from his camp
on prospecting tour. took sick or sus-
tanned some injury which disabled him.
He was attempting to drag himself to his
camp and all indications point to the
fact that the unfortunate prospector was
killed and eaten by bears. Fragments of
clothing, together with unmistakab BILE
signs of struggle. are evidences that
the poor old miner fell a victim to fierce
deniZens of the forests, and the marks
indicate that he was defenseless and dis
abled when attacked.

Osprey plumes as a military decoration
III the British army are doomed. Besides

is affected by the change. Public inter-
est against the cruelties involved in the

that the plunes should be discontinued.
Since then efforts have been made to find
a suitable substitute, and specimen
plume recently submitted for approval
by a leading firm of London naturalists
has been received with such satisfaction
that its ultimate adoption is regarded as
certain. though the necessary order has
not yet been issued by the ADVANTAGEOUS

A WILLOW PREVENTIVE.
The Shrubs Keep the Missouri from,
Shifting Its Banks.

A. L. Van Osdel Of Yankton county.
s. d., has written in regard to the ex-
periments that he has been making in
trying to prevent the Missouri river from
washing its banks. He states that he
has planted bundles of willows about six
feet III length IN groups of three every
ten to twenty-five yards along the bank
and that the river has ceased washing
away the dirt. He fastens the willow
bunch to q smooth wire, which is tied to
a tree, and with a heavy stone attached
throws al over into the river The cost
had been about $50 per mile. Mr.. Van
Osdel believes that the problem of pre-
venting the river from washing into the
banks has been solved for good. The ey
periments have been watched with great
interest by the landowners ali along the
