rag pickers only work when the refuse is being collected. They get whatever of value they find and 24 cents per day additional. All others work ten hours per day and roadmen and laborers are paid from 90 cents to s1 per day.
 The watering of the streets to allay the dust is carried on from March to October. It was formerly done by wa tering cars. but much of the sprinkling is now done by hose. Each roadman on @ section has a sprinkling apparatus, consisting of a few lengths of 1-2- inch iron pipes, with flexible joints, on which castors are also fixed for the easier dragging along the street. This he attaches to the hydrant on the side path and spFinkles from twenty to thir- ty yards on each side. This methods does not occupy space in the streets, or inconvience the trafic. and is about one-half cheaper than watering with the horse and cart. The sprinkler is done twice a day, and in very hot weather three times a day The city au- thorities have also been experimenting with tarring the surface of parts of the macadam avenues, but not to any great extent
 The Sewers which carry off all the water used in the washing of the streets and channels are Of large dimen- sion and extent to two hundred miles in length. Those under the main avenues are twelve feet in diamater. Besides the sewage, or rather water, they contain the water pipes. (spring water and flush ing water from the sein,) the electric. telegraph and telephone cables. The gas pipes are kept out in case of explosion. In the large sewers a steam launch is privided for the visitors and at other parts an electric car is the means of conveyance. The tunnels are kept in beautiful order. whitewasned. and light ed by electricity. The air in the large sewers was found by analysis to be purer than that in the streets of the city. Without those large sewers 1t would be impossible to wash the mud and refuse so freely off the streets. With such treatment ordinary sized sewers would soon choke up. but with their ample size and the abundance of water used in washing and flushing, all the refuse is carried to the 'sumps' where 1t settles and is lifted out with

only ten Or fifteen minutes will make this motion very evident. By 10 o'clock the group Aries will be well up from the ground fin the east. while below this, in the position occupied by Aries in figure 1, will be seen the constellation Taurus, with the beautiful Pleiades and Hyades Between these two groups a most striking star will at once be nos ticed, a star very much brighter than any of the fixed stars in the east. This is the planet Jupiter which is rising earlier and earlier each evening and which will for many months be the most beautiful and conspicuous object in the heavens.
 The possessor of a small telescope should not fail to look for the planet Uranus, not only because it is in more favorable position for observation than. It will be again this year. but also be- cause it iS in a very rich region of the sky and is surrounded by many beauti- full objects which will well repay exami- nation. To make this easier a part of figure is shown on much larger scale in figure 2. This figure is a map of the stars enclosed within the square at the bottom of figure 1.

THE CLEAN STREETS OF PARIS.
Six Thousand WOrkmen are Employed
 and Seven Million Francs are Spent Annually.

Annually.
 The Municipal Journai and Engineer for August contains an article on the
 highways of France which will be read with interest by all who are working
 for civic improvement in America. It
 states that 5000 workmen are employed
 in maintenance and street cleaning and
 that about 7.000,00O francs are spent annually on maintenance and cleaning, exclusive of new work and manage ment Following is an extract: Great at tention is bestowed on the cleaning of streets in Paris. Conspicuous features in the work are frequent washing of the carriage ways, channel and sidewalks, and the abundance of water used for this purpose. The water for cleaning purposes is pumped from the seine into reservoirs and carried Tn pipes along the streets, on which fire plugs are placed at regular intervals on the side
 of the path. and the watering and wash
 ing is done by hose The sweeping is
 done by horse brushes, which start very early in the morning. The rough gar bage is put into dust wagons for re- moval and the smaller refuse Is washed into the opening under the curbstone. and thence into the sewers. where 1t Is collected in the 'sumps' and removed by special machinery. When the house. hold rubbish is being collected rag pick CTS stand in the wagons and assort the material Into bags. woman sweeper

 the rest Is swept away by the washing which follows, About 3,600 hands are employed in the cleaning alone, of whom about 1000 are women, and they collect about 1,000,0O0 tons of refuse per an- mum. The women sweepers work seven

Hopeless Invalid Women Restored to
 Health and Usefulness By Pe-ru-na.
General Debility, Nervousness, 3acl ache, Kidney Troubles, Female Weakness, Are All Symptoms
 of Pelvic Catarrh.
Pe-ru-na is an Unfailing Rem edy for All of These Cases.

If the reader will take the pains to glance over this arr ticle, it will be noticed that three American women make frank. unequivocal state- ments concerning Peruna.
 They were chronic and hopeless victims of pelvic ca- tarrh.
 Now, they are healthy. happy and useful women.
 The symptoms of catarrhal weakness, systemic catarrh and female catarrh are very numerous.
 No two cases are exactly alike.
 The symptoms most fre- quently met are general de- bility = kidney trouble - loss of flesh = bad com plexion - tired and worn-out all the time - aches and pains unable to stand long at time or to walk any distance periodical cramps -dlSpiacement Of pelvic or gans = ovarian troubles --- throbbing trembling - fiushes of heat - nervous - headaches - chronic dyspep- sia - constipation - insom- mia irritability -- easily frightened brown spots before the eyes dizziness roaring in the head, etc.
 Any one or more of these symptoms mean that the vic- tim has chronic systemic ca- tarrh which is undermining all the bodily functions and weakening every nerve cen- ter.
 Such women are liable to become bedfast, or, are in- duced to submit to some surgical operation in com plete desperation.

THE EVILS OF

Everyone Knows When He is COnstI- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly

Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which lie or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove cousti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthful influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nently cure the habit.

Operations Unnecessary.

A short course of Peruna is sufficient to convince any woman in such a con- dition that there is a remedy that Is able to come to her relief.
 Thousands of women have already discovered this, but. there are tens of thousands of others who need to know 1t.
 Any woman who reads these lines and feels that her case Is described in whole or In part by the above symp- toms should lose no time in giving Peruna a fair trial.
