Ai.ex Stoki, K. 1. bMlTIl, Directors, BEGGARS' OUTFITTER. Oreatei Ailments to Order and Man nfntturea Crliiples. In a smiill but neat and comfortable red brick house at Hackney Vfves an elderly, careworn iniiii who la known to his neighbors by the mysterious title of "the beggars' tailor." The "beggars outfitter" would be a more appropriate sobriquet, for the elderly man's trade hns nothing to do with the making of clothes, lie equips and llts out profes sional mendicants for the practice of their trade. "A mendicant who hns not mustered the tricks of the trade," began tho beggars' tailor, "hns no more ehnnco of making money than has a pugilist who litis not learned to box. He must get an outfit. Per a woman a small child Is the most essential dotal). Hut six beggar women out of eight have no children of their own of the right ago. I supply them. "Hut that's only a small part of my business. I'll gunranteo to make the healthiest looking man In England re semble nu anaemic cripple In ten min utes. Only a mnn wjio cun work that transformation hns u right to call him self n beggars' tailor. "The public likes horrors. Ho you see those?" The beggurs' tnllor took from his breast pocket a lnrge pill box nnd removed the lid. Inside were about a score of wiifei-8 of different sizes, shiny wllh some adhesive on one side, and red, protuberant nnd nnsty looking on the other. "Those," he continued, "nre beggars' sores. It doesn't Bound nice, but you don't want nlceness In this business. My clients jiurchnse them from me, stlek (Item In the exact spot on their necks or faces nnd find them n gmil Investment. When the wafer Is stuck on, the skin around It must bo careful ly t rented with red nnd white coloring matter. "Sturdy beggars up from tho country always pose on the verge of starvation. If It weren't for mo their fnt faces would belle them. I!ut, lis ?very stage dresser knows, a few nrt flclal lines nnd a judicium) use of shadows will mnke a face like FiilNtdfT'is eniaciuted nnd lean. Ii 'ggars seldom wnnli, nnd that's lucky for theiuselvei. Otherwise they'd bo put to fresh expense every day. "Aro there other tricks of tho trndo? I should think so. If you ever see a one legged beggar wearing n long coat, ton to one he's a 'crock.' With a little practice a sound limbed man can bend up his leg till It's almost parallel with his thigh hone. He comes to mo for nn iirtlllcial leg, which ho fixes to his kneecap. The long coat enables him to carry off tho fraud. A medal on his chest, n whine about Tel-el-Keblr or Colenso, and the trick's dono. For money milking no poso can beat the 'soldier broke in our wars.' "Half the blind and one legged beg gars can see as well as you or I. I can lit a blind man with everything from a dog and eye shade to Ilraillo book In raised up characters. Dogs, of course, cost money, ns they have to bo special ly trained. As a rule, the swindling 'blind man' hasn't got a dog. It's not necessary nnd a great expense, where as a real blind man, if he hasn't got a child, must have one. "Mnuy sham cripples and 'blind' men nre cx-crhnlnals. A mnn who's been 'lugged' and dono a long term of penal nnd doesn't Hko It fights shy of committing a second crime. But he says lie can't get work as long as he's on ticket. As a rule, he makes a very successful beggar, for nothing sharp ens a .ninn's wits like Jail." London Letter in Los Angeles Times. Cervuntea and HU Bride. A biographer of Cervantes, the au thor of "Don Quixote," says: "With high Ideals in his mind and but few pieces in his wallet, he married, on Dec. 12, 1584, with Donna Catallna de ralnclos Salaznr y Vozmedlano. The tenth of his fortune, which Cervantes settled upon his wife, amounted to 100 ducats, while an Inventory of the bride's effects Include several planta tions of youns vines In the district of Esqulvias, a small town of New Cas tile; six bushels of meal and one of wheat, some articles of household fur niture, two linen and three cotton sheets, a cushion and two pillows stuff ed with wool; one good blanket and one worn, tables, chairs, pots and pans, a brazier, a grater, several Jars, sacred Images in alabaster and silver gilt, a crucifix, two little Images of the baby Jesus, four beehives, forty-five hens." Reatleu Nature. Nothing In nature Is absolutely per manent? Changes are going on slowly, but steadily, every moment, parts of the earth being elevated above the sea, parts sinking below It the ocean wear ing away the coast In one place and building it oat In another, and so on to Infinity. Fiction. "What nre you writing, nawley?" "A story. I'm going In for fiction." "Really! For a magazine?" "No, for my tailor. He wants his money, and I'm telling him I'll send him a check next week." The Inventor is no longer Invested ,wlth the pathos and romance of un requited pntleuee, but Is the man of all others who leaps to eminence and for tune. St. Louis Ilepublic.

The ordinary carp, If not Interfered with, will, It Is said, live 500 years. Tflero nre now living In the ltoynl aquarium In Russia several carp that are known to be over 000 years old, and It hns been ascertained In a num ber of cases Hint whules live to be over 200 years old.
