PARIS RAGPICKERS.
An Occupation That 10 Passed Along
From Father TO Son.

An Occupation That 10 Passed AIono
From Father TO Son.
The ragpickers OF Paris are born to
their work. the occupation being pass
cd from father 20 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 aud elegant Paris barrels Of
waste are piled up on the streets I'm
front OF many buildings on beautiful
boulevards I'm the early morning hours,
and IL 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 afosr 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
SHS anu o'ohbS PSOiS are klcaus
sought after and sold at the rate OF a
cent pound TO perfume and strip
manufacturers. old metals are highly
priced. cigar stubs 80 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 IL often happens that members OF
q family die either from poisoning
from stale food or from cut from
one OF the tins.-Popular Mechanics.
