Beggars In London.

The barefoot dodge is favorite one
with beggars in London. During the
Christmas season saw one lusty knave
take off his shoes and stockings, leaving
them in a barroom, and then pick his
way over the cold cobblestones of the
street, singing a melancholy ditty and
holding out his cap pleadingly for pence.
Every English beggar that accosts you
reminds you that he is "a poor" fellow.
"Oh, please give penny to poor devil"
"Please help poor old man." s'Please
remember q poor lad" please buy a
box Of matches of poor old woman
these are the entreaties which come to
you from every side. The alleged poverty
of these people is their stock in trade.
Then, again, the most hideous monstrosi-
ties are to be met with upon the street
corners-maimed, SCARED and deformed
creatures who seek to profit by their
hideousness. Many Of these creatures
are we'll to do.
At the corner of Tottenham Court road
and Oxford street sits woman as fat as
butter, comfortably clad and wearing a
cheerful expression. Aplacard suspended
from her neck informs the passer by that
''this poor woman is blind" that she sis
afflicted with fits" and that she is trying
to earn money enough to pay for being
tapped for the dropsy." This profess
sional rides to and from her place of bust
ness in cab.
Oxford street is patrolled by several
blind men who affect dogs and lugubrious
songs and dismal countenances. These
fellows have entered into a sort of bust
ness partnership and they are rich. Sug-
gest to a London beggar that he apply
for admission to one of the numerous
homes or asylums for the INDECENT and
afflicted, and see how quick he is to re-
sent the idea.

A Fad In Correspondence.

A fad in writing paper is what is call
ed lovers stationery. 1t is fine notepa-
per deHcately tinted, the most fashiona-
BILE shade being light pink. The water
mark, to be detected by holding the
sheet up to the light, is blending of
two hearts, pierced by an arrow. In the
lower corner of each fourth page Tor re-
verse of each second half sheet appears
what at first sight looks like blemish.
But this is the charming feature of the
novelty; it is the kissing spot, for here
the correspondent presses his or her lips,
and thus salute is waited to the absent
lover The kissing spot is about the size
of shilling twenty fve cent piece and
is covered with thin aromatic gum that
imparts to the lips pleasing odor and
taste. A more ingenious bit of maudlin
sentimentality could hardly be devised,
yet we must all confess that it is of Just
such innocent and inane follies that the
joy of human life largely consists
