THE eeeeARs OF PARIS.

Tho Aristocracy of tho Mendicant World
Found in tho French Capital
Next 20 the consierges. perhaps, the
beggars are the greatest nuisances in
Paris. They have b en- augmented 80
rapidly of late and becoming so agrees
i've that the project Of police-now that
the spirit is abroad has resolved to ex-
pei them. and has issued instructions to
police sergeants to get at the number
and conduct of the fraternity in their
respective districts. Just before they
receive the final coup de balai. Tie
Temps have been entertaining its readers
with some sketches of their private
history.
These Partisan beggars may be looked
upon as the aristocrats OF the mendicant
world. Begging has become a fine AIT
witt, them. They take to the streets
from choice rather than necessity. They
have got a sort of circular newspaper to
keep themselves posted in coming
events, and systematically take different
beats. Rows of them may be seen at
church doors when a marriage or funeral
Is on, and they hang around the doors Il
fashionable restaurants. The greatest
%nuisances among the gang are those
who don't beg at all. There is an insti-
tuition for the manufacture and training
Of this species. They play the role OF
distortionists Several j~oiners are kept
at work in making small wooden carts,
slaves, and various c~ontrivances for
them. Their object is to draw money
from the public by their piteons an | ex-
%cruciating positions, and not by solicita-
ton.
And, considering that many of them
are so palpably frauds, it SAYS a good
deal for the %gullibility of the Parisians
that they succeed. The outside jatte-
those who squeeze themselves into a sort
of wooden bowl and propel themselves
along the pavement with their hands
frequently combine the functions OF
thief with those of beggar, as they are
just a convenient height to reach ladies'
pockets. According to The Temps there
were 9. 765 beggars arrested in Paris in
1884, and A, 1873 in 1885. When arrested
they are first taken to a central police
station. where they are asked to give ar
account of themselves. Some are SEM
to the hospital or to the depot of men
deity, others to their native depart
ments, and the worst offenders to the
police court. There is in Paris a privi-
legged or licensed class of beggars. The
police have always had power to deal
with others who on whatever ~pretense
receive aims. but the general liberation
allowed on fete days seems to have been
allowed on other days as well, until the
condition of the streets has become in

EAT PEOPLE AND FLUIDS.


What Has Been Recommended to the
Victims of obesity-A Warning.
The question whether water is fatten-
Ing or otherwise has b .cn much discussed.
Formerly 1t was generally asserted that
the victims OF obesity should mortify the
nrsh and reduce the lat ly Hb>taininR as
much as possible from liquids and remain
Ing in continual state Of thirst. Lat
terly the opposite has been affirmed, and
j am told that a reduction OF weight Il one
OF tine results claimed by -the hot water
cure" provided always the water Is taken
a. hot AS po- sible, painfully hot. and in
great quantities. Experiments have been
made IN Paris by DIR. De bove which con-
trovert both these doctrines.
These exper ments indicate that, pro-
, vided the same amount of solid food Is
taken, large quantities of water make a
man neither thinner nor fatter. They
were carefully made on a friend VINO
took weighed quantities. OF food d ill y, and
while these remaired equal doubling the
quantity OF water had no measurable eff
feet on the weight OF the body. Sill. II Is
quite possible tnat the old theory of thirst
cure and the new theory OF hot water cure
may both be correct. Boi h violate the
natural conditions of health. Scalding
no water, like tea or coffee, or gro9 OF
similar temperature, unquestionably in
jures the teeth, stomach, and other Or
gans concerned In the ear y stages of dt

A fat man may easily become thinner

can prove. The difficult profile IN Is to re-

WELSH bards are resuming their an
cient work of stimulating the patriotic
hope of their countrymen, by attempting
TO revive a national feeling. An Eisted-
fOdd, or annual meeting for competition
in poetry and music is held in every con-
siderable town IN Wales, and just now
these meetings are turned to a political
use for the purpose Of promoting a gen
eral movement in the interest OF local self
government. After six centuries OF Eng
lish rule, and more than three OF practical
loss Of political identity, the success Of
such a movement would be one of the
most notable ev, nis in history.

As, IN a large majority of cases, the
delegates to the county convention are
left without special instruction as to the
manner in which they shall act with rel
ercnce to the support Of candidates for
nomination, it becomes them to exercise
their own judgment IN selecting the best.
As to the more profitable positions, they
are likely to be surfeit,d with informa-
ton, but concerning the really more Inn
portant places on the board of commits
sioners and in the legislative assembly, it
is their clear duty to inform themselves.
Popular candidates must be selected as
commissioners, otherwise. there is no
hope for securing a Democratic board.
The highly efficient and %eminently p%racti-
cal minority in that body must BE- reen-
forced. Only by securing a majority OF
the board can fair treatment be assured
to all parts of the county and TO all the
interests of every part. 1t must not be
forgotten, also, hat the placing on the
tick t of popular candidates for this
Office will give it additional strength and
Increase it chance of sucress.

CORRUPTION, especially in the munici
pal government of a great city, is peculiar
TO no party, but seems to be incident to
the fact that power tends to perpetuate
itself and continuance in power seems
naturally to corrupt. Philadelphia has

rule, and New Orleans under that of
Democrats. The corruption is not in
either case to be attributed to the party
