Brown @Co, RUSSIA’S ARMIES OF BEGGARS. Entire Villages Whose Inhabitants Make a Livelihood Solely by Begging. Mr. Geoffrey Drage, in the course of a report on Russia addressed to the royal commission on labor, contributes some interesting details regarding beggarsin that country. Thousands of men, women and children, he says, regularly set out from their homes with the object of earning their livelihood, not by work, but by begging. The ‘‘Shouvaliki,’?? who have their headquarters in the villages of Shouvaliki and Klin, are among the most notorious. of these beggars. They frequently travel in troops of 10 or 12,-alleging that they have been burned out of their homes and giving 4 graphio account of the fire. At other times they go out singly and beg for alms, pretendmc to be deaf and dumb or insane, with ards round their-necks testifying to thelr infirmity. They travel on foot to the Don and frequently return with a cart and one if not more horses. The district of Soudogda, which is one of the most unfertile parts of European Russia, is another headquartors of the beggar army. Assoon as field work is over in the autumn whole villages organize themselves into artels and start out to beg. The whole population of the village of Marinin live by means of begging. Cripples and blind persons are in great request and flock from the surrounding country into the villages. to join those members of the beggar artel who have no blind persons or cripples As soon as the fasting season begins they return home with their booty, which includes objects of the most varied description, for they never refus3 any gifts. These they sell :at the next fair and live during the ‘spring and summer on their profits and ‘on what they can steal from persons in itheir own neighborhood. The example of the Soudogda beggare thas been followed in other localities, especially in the governments of Kostroma and Tver. In the latter there is a group of villages where girls and women earn their livelihood by begging. Some of them find their profession so luecrative that thany girls prefer it to mar riage and remain beggars during the whole of their lives. The kalouni travel with horse and cart and a number of asistants, and they choose their companions from among the feeblest children and cripples. Blind children are highly ‘prized, and they frequently add to the pitiful appearance of these children by taking their eyes out of their sockets. “The followers of the kalouni often maim their hands and wound themselves, and . if enough real cripples cannot be ob‘tained they are manufactured by tying up one armor leg. The kalouni seldom “beg themselves, but confine their attention to the supervision of their assistants and to selling the articles obtained by the latter. Sometimes their profits are enormous. <A kaloun, accompanied by two adults and four or five children, gets from 5 to 10 rubles a week. Many take home as much as 1,000 rubles, leaving the children and cripples, through whom they haye gained their wealth, to. their fate.—London Telegraph. The Taliest of the Races. According to an investigation conducted under the auspices of the International Society of Anthropologists of “London; ~which-~has-just~concluded “a# valuable inquiry respecting the average height of the various races and nationalities, English and American citizens average taller than any other representatives of the human family. The fol’ lowing has been gleaned from their 120 page report: The English professional classes, who head the list as the tallest of adult males, attain the high average of 5 feet 9.14 inches. Next on the list come the males of all classes in the United States, and a minute fraction behind them come the English of all classes; hence we may conclude that, taken as a whole, the British and their English speaking cousins in America are ‘spproxtinately of the same height. for the male adult is but 5 feet 6 inches. The Austrians, the Portuguese and the Spaniards fall somewhat below the general European average as given in the foregoing. —St, Louis Republic. Chick and Di a Among her many wonderful’ accomplishments the charming and versatile actress, Miss Lillian Lewis, possesses one which astonished the natives at the City hotel beyond measure. She showed them how to eat broiled chicken with the aid of the fingers and wear eight diamond rings with perfect ease, grace and safety at one and the same time. On her left hand she wore five enormous sparkles, one on each finger and another on the thumb, while on the right only three splendid solitaires, shone with dazzling brilliancy. The well browned Chicken was taikon daintily between the tips of the finger and thumb of each hand, and as the delicious morsels were carefully removed from the bones and disappeared the diamonds appeared to the greatést advantage. It was without donbt the most remarkable aggregation of broiled ‘chicken and diamonds that ever struck a Shreveport dining room. _ It was the richest and most dazzling gastronomical feat ever witnessed in these parts.— Shreveport (La. ) Times, Hearing News In Boston. Tonce encountered a most original individual. He was a well to do manufacturer from the west. I was explaining to him some of the historic places of Boston, and among the historic occurrences I related the story of the Boston tea party. He took it allin with the greatest interest, and when I had finished he said: ‘‘So they threw the tea overboard, did they? Was it some time ago that it happened?’— Boston Courier. , The Makeup. Talked the Roof Off. Natural aptitude to grasp a situation has been turned to account more than once on the stage, and in one case, if the veracity of a favorite comedian goes for anything, it saved a panic and possible loss of life. ‘*We were playing one night stands, ’’ said he, ‘‘in Kansas during the terrible period of cyclones and found ourselves in a large, dilapidated building called by courtesy a theater. ‘*The low comedian was on the stage in the part of a drunken husband receiving a vigorous lecture from his wife. ‘Madam,’ he had just observed, ‘if you keep on, you’ll talk the roof off,’ when there was a roar heard, followed by a tremendous crash, the building swaying like a tree in a storm. Everybody jumped to their feet, for they saw the roof had been carried away. They were about to turn and make one dash for the exits when the comedian, coming down to the footlights, looked up into the air, and quick as a flash turned to the lady and said, ‘There, what did I tell you?’ The audience howled with laughter, and the quick witted comedian was undoubtedly the means of preventing a serious calamity. ’’—Exchange.
