PARIS RAGPlcKERS.
An Occupation That ls 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 its 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-
cry scrap Of paper has its market;
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 a pound to perfume and strip
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 1t often happens that members OF
family die either from poisoning
from stale food or from a cut from
one of the tins.-Popular Mechanics.

In Domestic
Science

Science.

Association.

]" BE purpose Of this series of ar
ttcles will be an attempt to show
the direct relation between do
nestle science and ordinary af-
fairs In the life of either men or wo-
men. Too many people have conceived
the idea that domestic science chiefly
concerns. those people who have more
time for theorizing than for actual
work. These think the subject deals
largely with air castles of the Bellamy
style Of architecture and contains little
real help for present day homemak-
ers. There are some who still hold the
opinion that such is the meaning and
scope Of domestic science, but their
number is rapidly decreasing on &C.
count Of the introduction of the study
Of scientific homemaking into public
schools, high schools and colleges. To
be an aid to housekeepers who cannot
take advantage of these courses of
study as prescribed in schools and col
leges Is the aim of this series of talks.
One Of the chief purposes of domes-
tic science Is to teach men and women
how to live rightly, how to use ma
terial things In such way as to get
the highest good, the best results. from
them. The science concerns men quite
as much as women, and it means
much more than the commonly accept
ed idea that it has most to do with
cooking and eating and washing dishes.
These things are of course included In
the Study and, assure you, that even
these exceedingly common affairs of
life are deserving of higher place In
the wonderful process of living than
is usually accorded them.
Life Is serious business, and moth
ing which pertains to it is either a
Joke or a trifle. Therefore anything
which helps to give even the common

est things their true Importance and
assists men and women to be better
mentally and physically is worthy due
consideration and a fair trial from
every individual. So, while these talks
concern the housekeeper more closely
perhaps than they do men, the latter
are not exempt from at least an honest
interest in their subject matter.
Those who have anything to do with
stock know how important it is that
the animals be properly fed In order
that they may be suitable for their
special purpose. Men give great deal
Of study to the different methods of
feeding cows and pigs. They talk
wisely about whether it is better to
feed corn or peas for fattening pur-
poses. They are careful, too. to see
that the soil on which the apple or
chard is planted contains the proper
elements to make strong, productive
trees. But when it comes to the daily
bill OF fare for human beings the aver
age man and woman give it very little
thought. At least it is the common
rule to eat what is set before us or
what our fancy and appetite suggest
until we have so long disregarded the
laws of nature that our digestive or
gans rebel, and we can't eat even the
plainest food without discomfort.
1t is a fact that the average person
knows less about his own anatomy
and the functions of his body than
about almost any other subject. Think
for a moment of the many noted men
who are laid aside in early middle life
because their digestive organs are
worn out. And no wonder they refuse
to perform their duties. We wouldn't
treat a thrashing machine as we treat
ourselves and not expect the machine
to be good for nothing inside six
months The illustration Is more near
~ parallel with the case than perhaps
you think The man feeds his engine
with coal and wood In order to get en-
ergy from it. He also expects to get
energy, growth and continued life from
his food; at least that is the true rea-
son why he eats. Yet how many men
and women are there who from an or
binary bill of fare can select the foods
which build tissue-make brain and
blood-and which are most suitable for
the production of heat and energy

LONDON THEATERs.
The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.


The first difference always find be-
tween going to the play in London and
in New York is that in New York the
man who has paid for seat Is made
to feel that he is patron of the house,
while in London he is greeted by the
staff of the theater not exactly as an
intruder, but as a necessary evil. They
appreciate that an audience is nece =
sary evil, but sooner than have one
they would almost prefer to close the
house.
In London for that Importantly stra-
tegic outpost of ticket taker an old
man of eighty is always employed.
You think this is accident, but it is
not. Old age naturally suggests falling
eyesight, and when he keeps you wait

your ticket and assures himself that it

ing darkly, there always is another
man, apparently a plain clothes out

disguised in evening dress. And while
the aged ticket taker pretends to scru-

revolver or wearing a white tie with a

COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
One of the Ancient Seven Wonders Of
the World

One of the Ancient Seven Wonders OF
the World.
The ancients succeeded In making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue,
wholly made of bronze, historically
known as the Colossus of Rhodes. 1t
represented Phoebus, the national del
ty of the Rhodians. 1t was begun by
Chares, a pupil of Lysippus, the sculp-
tor. and was completed by Laches 2SS
B. @. The popular belief is that it
stood astride the harbor of Rhodes,
that it was 1O5 feet high and that
ships could easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates.
afterward Joined together. and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into it's head, and In great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. d. 672-when they were sold by the
| Saracens to a dealer. The original
cost was 300 talents-about 100000
and it is not too much to say that q
similar image might be constructed
now in one-fourth Of the time and al
one-third of the original cost. Rhodes
by the way, must have had colossus
on the brain, for Pliny relates that the
port was adorned with 1000 colossal
! statues of the sun.
