They are sold nowadays as a d etor Fells his practice, and they fetch from ?10 to perhaps 0, depending on the wealth of the quarter. Of course tlioy oro not freeholds. Kent or commis sion Is paid In one way or another. In poor neighborhoods t'.ie chif fonier puts the garbage cans out on the sidewalk, thus saving the con cierge from having to get out of bed In tho chilly dawn to do so. In louses where tho pickings are good a fow francs a week may have to b paid here and there to hold tho circuit. Tho chiffonier of today has a cart end sometimes a bony nag to draw it. Sometimes he and his wife draw It. or maybe the wife alone. He has besides a hovel and a yard somewhere out In the grimiest suburbs. This is where he assorts his gatherings In the forenoon, for sale later In the dav to the wholesalers. One of the most profitable spe-.los of refuse is old shoes; nothing In them goes to waste. There are whole salers who specialize in thera. They are carefully dissected. Wood en heels are sold for kindling. Soles are carefully detached from uppers and trimmed Into new soles. A man's can be cut down to a woman's size, a woman's to a child's. Sme manufacturers make a spe cialty of these restorations. A new slab of leather makes them loos nr right outside; a thin lining Is pasted over them Inside. The manufacturers pay the wholesalers a cent each for such soles. There are sixty wholesalers engagea in this trade; they employ from ten to a doner men each day at $1 a day. T"-y produce, It is estimated, 500,000 soloi ft year. The shoes are entirely taken apart. Tbe nails, heeltaps and eyelets, If any, ar allowed to fall on the floor. When they are swept up the Iron la separ ated simply by applying strong mag net to the mass. It is sold to one smelter as scrap and the brass goes to another. The useless leather scraps are sold to the chemical works at lvry, where they are converted Into fertilizers. So sweeping Is the salvage work of this industry that the tpnrlngs of horses' hoofs from the blacksmiths' shops are collected to the extent of COO, 000 pounds a year. The volume of leather scrap Is estimated at 3,600, Od" pounds. Rabbit and hare are favorite delica cies In franco. Every day, it is esti mated, about 15,000 of their skins Ret Into the hands of the furriers. All are scrupulously clean -id and sterilized. They are shaved by ma ch'nery down to the very skin and the hair Is made up Into fine felt hats. The rabbit or hare skin that is to flSJro as fur is treated with d'stln pntshed const lerallin. It Is cured and eftened. The pure vhlto one a picked out for ermine. All the others ere dyed Into chinchilla, otter or silver fox. As the fur of these animals always has a characteristic depth, tho skins are passed through shaving machines ivhtch trim down the hair to the stand ard length, to a hundredth of an Inch. It appears that the hare of no country equals that of Prance In its fitness for this sort of counterfeit. The best skins when made up can bo detected only by experts. Only one thing in Paris Is totally tt?elf39 when It reaches the refuse stage. That thing is paper money. It Is true that the worn out money of the Hank of France Is ground Into puln like any other waste papor, but It Is so greasy from handling that It would not pay to cleanse It for re manufacture.

Whether Its use Is practical la an open question. It Is well known that children a rule are Inclined, while reading, to hold the book too close to the e es. This habit is Hill more marked In writing than reading, an 1, In tl no, undoubtedly Is responsible for ti"ur Slghtedness. Statisticians claim that tho poor eyesight prevalent among children of all countries can be at tributed to this cause. A German has designed this guard especially to pre vent holding the head too low while reading or writing. It Is simply a wire framework which can be read ily clamped to the book. The posi tion of the upper bar does not ob scure the view In the least, but a child would experience difficulty In Inserting the head in the frame. The Idea ts at all events a commendable one, and, If not practical la this form, Is certainly so in another. A Fruitarian Diet. A fruitarian diet consists of the fruits of trees (like apples, oranges, bananas and olives), the fruits of plants (like strawberries and melons lentils and beans and cucumbers), the fruits of grasses (like wheat and barley and maize and oats), the fruits of nut trees (from filbert to cocoanut), together with some earth fruits (like potatoes), and a modi cum of vegetables and salads. To these may bo added butter, milk, honey and cheese, although their production Is not so free from risk of contamination and animal Infec tion as Is the case with the products of tho vegetable kingdom and the world of fruits. Grown under healthy conditions, with diseased specimens easy to detect and remove, It Is far more possible to live healthily and well upon a fruitarian dietary than upon the products of the slaughter house. Westminster Review. Average Speed of Clouds. A member of the staff of the Blue Hill Observatory, near Boston, has reported that observations made there show that the average speed with which clouds, between 8,000 and 9,000 feet high, move Is Blxty miles an hour In midsummer and one hundred aid ten miles an hour la midwinter. The swiftest flight of a cloud yet measured was 230 miles an hour. China's .Mania for Itiillroads.

A. SMALL, Auditor. BLOOMSBURG, PA. A Story of Victor Hugo." Victor Hugo, as Is well known, was a man of exceeding vanity; ho had a sense of his own Importance which often manifested Itself In ri diculous ways. iJurlng the siege of Paris, In 1871, a number of political and literary men were dining one evening at his house. Tho conversa tion, naturally, turned on the hor rors of tho siege, and tho members of the party gave their respective ideas ns to tho best means of termin ating It. Suddenly Victor Hugo had nn Inspiration. "I know how to do It," ho said, with such conviction thr.t everyone was filled with fcxpoc tatlon. "Yes," ho continued; "to-morrow, I, Victor IIiko, dressed In my na tional costume, will go forth all alone, unarmed, und meet the bulloto of tthe f nemy. I shall be killed, und tho siege will bo over!" "Over for you," Irreverently Inter rupted one of tho company. Victor Hugo's brow took on an Olympian frown. Never again did the unhappy interrupter receive an Invitation to the tablj of tho pout. Harper's Wecklv. Bulletin. PMKYLVM BALTIMORE OLD HOME WEEK.
