PARIS RAGPIcKERs.
An Occupation That Is Passed Along
From Father to Son,

From Father to Son.
The ragpickers of Paris are born to
their work, the occupation being pass
ed from father to son for generations.
Each ragpicker family has it's own dis
trict. which is inherited by the chill
dren and grandchildren.
In spite of all the progress made in
modern and elegant Paris barrels of
waste are piled up on the streets in
front of many buildings on beautiful
boulevards in the early morning hours.
and it is the privilege and in fact the
mission of the ragpickers to examine
this refuse.
They have use for everything. and
but little is left after they have passed.
their thoroughness being one reason
why the system is still allowed. Ev-
rags are gathered for paper manufac-
turers; shoes go back to leather deal
erS.
Old sardine and preserved meat tins
are used for making playthings. old
bones produce gelatin and glue. lem
ons and orange peels are greatly
sought after and sold at the rate of a
cent pound to perfume and sirup
manufacturers. old metals are highly
priced. cigar stubs go to tobacco fac
tories, and even stale vegetables are
carted away.
The quarters of the ragpickers Of
Paris are just outside the confines of
the city-sections carefully avoided by
most people who do not belong to the
guild. Every member Of the family.
from the oldest to the three-year-old.
takes part in the sorting Of the spoils.
and it often happens that members of
family die either from poisoning
from stale food or from cut from
| one of the tins.-Popular Mechanics.

FULLY FORTY
Fun Makers Bring Forth
ShTiekS of Laughter.

In addition to the many CIRCUS
novelties of all kinds that the great
er Norris &Rowe Circus has prOvid-
ed for its patrons this season, is a
host of groteque clowns-to' entertain
the little ones. They inc4Sde
some forty fun makers who cut up
such absurd monkey tricks as to
bring forth slsrieks of laughter from
the children. The foolish fellows
burle que every thing they see, and
have as companions, clown dogs,
clown monkeys, tiny clown bear,
clown elephants, Shetland ponieS,
and last bat not least, two tiny clown
lion cubs. The latter can be worked
this season, but next year will find
them. too fierce to handle; however,
for the present. the clowns manage
to make them go through,any num-
Der Of odd antics.
The Clowns make most conaical
appearance. They are all shapes
and sizes Of fools, and the oapers
they cut are most amusing. With
the deepest apparent gravity, the
giant thin clown arrests the immese-
ly fat, short olown, while the clown
dogs policeman escorts the clown
bear to a immature prison, and is
gravely tried for his life by clown
monkey. The clown Dutchman gets
into an argument with the clown
!rishman and, before they know it,
4 TIE entire Rand Of forty c9mical fel
lows aTe.rn the ring, along with
their companion clown animals. The
fellows sing songs and crack jokes
until in sheer despair, the ring mas
ter chases them to the dressing tent.
1t is a bit of fun keenly relished
b. all. aud serves to make the more
serious portion of the program of
startling acts stand out with greater
prominence. Hearty laughter is in
feetious, and Norris & Rowe believe
| if they can make child laugh, they
have accomplished worthy mission
| in life.
Norris & Rowe will exhibit her,
