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.
AVnmilnni a Cnrrenpy,
A curious old document showing how
shells In tho shnpe of wampum deteri

land Is found nmotig the minutes of the
court of burgomasters and sWicpeng of

count rends: "Whereas we' see nnd for
some time Imvo Been the decline and
depreciation of the loose wntnpum,
among which Is found much tmplerced
nnd only half finished, made of stone,
glass, bone, shells, horn nay, even of
wood nnd broken therefore we have
resolved that henceforth no loose wam

on a wire. Trado wampum shall pnss

I.nnn; Ured Carp.
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. A gentleman In London
hns had nn ordinary goldfish for fifty
three years, nnd his fntlicr Informed

yeurs before It enmo to'tho present

The "Kliin's KnKllsh."
Tho following nppenred as a London
coster tailor's advertisement:
"A ship up togs and kicksles builder,
with upper Ilenjamlns snipped on a
downy plan, with moleskins of hanky
panky design, with n double fakement

with fancy vests mnde to flush tho

"And now," whispered tie lover as
bo caught her In his nrms, "what shall
we do about Uie rope leader? We
Shouldn't leave It hanging there."
"Don't worry ubout It," replied the
