RUssIA's ARMIES OF BEGGARs.
Entire Villages Whose Inhabitants Max
Livelihood Solely by Begging.

Mr.. Godfrey Drage in the course of a
co mmission on labor contributes some
interesting details regarding beggars in
that country. Thousands of men, WON
en- and children. he says, regularly set
out from their homes with the object of
earning their livelihood. not by work,
but by begging.
The "Shouvalioki," who have their
headquarters in the villages of Shouval-
ikl and Kiln, are among the most noJo-
rious of these beggars. They frequently
travel in troops often Of twelve, allegin g
that they have been burnt out of their
homes and giving a graphic account of
the fire. At other times they go out
singly and beg for aims, pretending to
be deaf and dumb or insane, with pla-
cards round their necks testifying to
their infirmities. They travel on foot
to the Don aud frequently return with
cart and one if not more horses.
The district of Soudogda. which is one
of the most unfertile parts of European
Russia, is another headquarters of the
beggar army. AS soon as field work is
over in the autumn whole villages or
ganize themselves into artels and start
out to beg.
The whole population of the village Of
Marinin lives by means of begging
Cripples and blind persons are in great
request and flock from the surrounding
country into the villages to join those
mem beers of the beggar artel who have
no blind persons or cripples in their own
family.
AS soon as the fasting season begins
they return home with their booty.
which includes objects of the most
varied description, for they never refuse
any gifts. These they sell at the next
fair and live during the spring and sum-
mer on their profits and on what they
can steal from persons in their own
neigh borhood.
The example of the Soudogoda beggars
has been followed in other localities, es-
pecially in the govern ments of Kostroma
and Tver. In the latter there is group
of villages where girls and women earn
their livelihood by begging. Some of
them find their profession so lucrative
that many girls prefer it to marriage and
remain beggars during the whole of their
lives The kalouni travel with horse and
cart and a number of assistants and
they choose their companions from
among the feeblest children cripples
Blind children are highly priced, and
they frequently add to the pltiful ap-
pearance of these children by taking their
eyes out of their sockets. The followers
of the kalouni often MAIN their hands
and wound themselves, and if enough
real cripples cannot be obtained they are
manufactured by tying up one arm or
leg. The kalouni seldom beg them
selves, but confine their attention to the
supervision OF their assistants and to SELL
ing the articles obtained by the latter
Sometimes their profits are enormous. A
kalouni accompanied by two adult and
four or five children, gets from i've to
ten roubles week: many take home as
much as 1000 roubles, leaving the child
rem and cripples, through whom they
have gained their wealth, to their fate.
