With newspapers spread out, purvey- , ors of needw smokers prepare their wares, allowing nothing of. what the street has yielded to be lost. Even the wetted ends that were put aside are boiled down with soda. The liquid thus obtained is sold to Ilorticultur- ists as an insect destroyer, very po- tent in its effects with certain class of plants.
 The Place Maubert, on the left bank of the Seine, is locality completely de- void of gentility, but precisely for this reason it constitutes an excellent re- tail market for the 'megottiers." The men take up their stand on the curb stone of the pavement, a few yards from the statue of Etienne Dolet. They thus face three or four thoroughfares converging there from the Seine, which constitute the route followed morning and evening by a multitude of city toil CTS. The salesmen are not sociable. They rarely converse among them selves, standing apart, biding their and awaiting customers. The latter have their preferences. While one vender will speedily get rid of all the packets of tobacco his wallet contains, another, whose aspect, perhaps, is less cleanly, will have to leave the place with. very few coppers in his pocket.

in the trade, the now general adoption of he cigarette in preference to the ci- gar by French smokers of the period is also detrimental to their interests. The cigar stump trade naturally yields the greater profit, since it supplies the sole material for the rough cut, which is most in request.
 The manipulation requisite to trans form what may be called the raw ma terial into a marketable product varies according to the season of the year. In winter when a man has collected g. suf- ficient quantity of castaways, he goes home and puts them to dry on the floor of his wretched garret. The drying process terminated, the ends of the stumps are carefully removed.
 The remainedr after proper cleans ing, is put up on a board into thin threads, to be subsequently, drawn out and rubbed between the hands. By this simple process it assumes the normal aspect of lowest smokeable tobacco. This is the rough cut or the "gros," the sort most in demand. The fine cut or ''fin,' derived from cigar cite ends, is merely cleansed. In bright summer weather these little operations are carried out in the open air on the, river quays, on the Qualifications or - I.sewhere. according to circumstances.

city bridges. The microbist Of the period. the scientist, with members or hygienic societies now and agaln III their comfortable homes or well ap- pointed committee rooms expatiate on the expendiency of suppresing the megottiers industry, which spells dan- ger for the public health, for who knows what germ of disease may not turk in the neatly rolled second hand cigarette clandestinely sold the state tobacco monopoly notwithstanding? As a matter of fact, however, the "me- gottier'' still plods along on his weary rounds, a dilapidated human ruin, on whom privation and misery set their stamp.
 Purchasers of tobacco at second hand be it noted, in no way ignore the origin thereof. Between the seller and the buyer there is neither dissimulation nor fraud Only in the vicinity of the Place Maubert, on the left bank of the Seine, far away from fashionabl Paris, can the "megottier" dispose of his wares. Persons in whose slender bud gets every penny counts are apt not to be over squeamish. Their name in large cities is legion, and it is among them the collector of castaways finds his market. Years ago the recogniz- ed head of second hand tobacco deal-

 The Paris rnegottier enjoys an ex- cellent reputation for honesty. In the course of his rambles while scrutiniz- ing the pavement it not infrequently hapens that he lights upon something more valuable than a cigar stump.

twice as much as they do in England; bananas and oranges. which Algiers exports by millions, cost four cents each Coffee is fifty to sixty cents per pound, tea as much as $1.O to $1s80 per pound, and sugar ten to twelve cents
 per pound. Coal in Paris is worth fourteen dollars per ton, and in many houses heat is a great rarity. In Lon- don two boxes of matches are given
 for one cent, sin France each box costs two cents and the matches are
 bad. Drugs are almost prohihitively
 expensive.
 M. de F'oville presents the balance

 for breakfast; at midday meat, vege- l tables and dessera; at four o'clock the mother and child have chocolate and bread, and at six o'clock there is a | dinner of soup, vegetables and dessert. M. de Fovi1le says thatit lies in the l innate inclination, one might say the
 passion, for economy. With few francs the little Parisian, who may be 1 hungry many days during the year, is , able to make herself hat and frock which many wealthy women might well envy. And it is with the table as it is with the toilet. The art of utili- zing the remnants is an art especially
 French, whether the subject be ribbons
 or ragouts. The spirit of economy is as common in our country as it is rare in England. Fathers and mothers in
 France consider themselves the debt ors of" their children and even the
 bachelors think they should leave something behind. ~ Economists Fran-
