The Ways of Partisan Begsars.

The Ways of Partisan Beggars.
A Paris municipal councillor NJ
Georges Berry, has been exploring all
sorts of out of the way places with a
view to presenting to the council re-
port on beggars and begging in the
French capital. Under Disguised Beg
ging" lie devotes special chapter to
those strange trades which really come
under that heading. and he has also much
to say about the people who, while not
actually going begging themselves. get
their living out of those who do.
Near the Ecole de Medicine M. Berry
found woman who sells sets of al
dresses of tine charitably disposed to
begging letter impostors. She sells two
sorts, the big set and the little set. The
little set is 5 francs and comprises 200
addresses. For 10 francs one can have
the big set Of $50 addresses, sufficient.
said the vender, to enable any one start
ing in the business to earn his living for
a year. AS Nj. Berry bought copy Of
each set, doubtless the council viii give a
useful warning to the persons whose ad-
dresses are given.
Ordinary street begging in Paris, it
appears, is reckoned TO bring in an aver
age of at least a shilling an hour. Many
OF the beggars sleep in the neighborhood
of the Jardin des Plantes. A man in
that neighborhood makes large income
by atfording shelter to them at the rate
of penny bead per night. He is en-
abled to do this by hiring for small
sum each, until regular attendants are
obtained for them. all the empty shops
and houses he can obtain. London
