ADVICE CONCERNING BEGGARs.
Simple Devices for, Getting Rid of the
Importunate in the Street.

Simple Devices for Getting Rid of the
Importunate in the Street.
Look here, officer" said an indignant
citizen to policeman in Twenty-third
street, ''these beggars who creep up behind
you and talk along at your side are grow
ing more persistent and impudent than
ever. What are you going to do about
them?"
"Why, of course. the policeman replied.
tive run 'em in whenever we see them
accosting any one: but the trouble is that
they work the racket so smoothly that it is
almost impossible to say that they are beg
ging when we don't see them stop any
one"
Eyes, yes, l understand that" said the
citizen; "but what about betting those fell
lows over the head ?"
"Well," said the policeman smiling. II
shouldn't advise you to do that, sir; those
fellows are a pretty tough set. But I'll tell
you one or two tricks that will bother them.
If it's rainy day you'll notice these fell
lows always board you on the leeward or
open side. Now, as soon as any one of
them is abreast of your shoulder throw
your um brella quickly over and shove the
whole wet thing smartly into his face. Do
this suddenly, and you'll find your beggar
will give up the chase In a twinkling, for
tnere are lew Things Jndt KNOW t1at Will
phaze man SO quick as the big, round
stretch of dripping umbrella showed into
his face without moments warning
That one way. Now, if it's dry weather
and you have a walking stick, drop it
down on the side the fellow is on and then
throw the end out at angle, so that it will
catch between his feet as he shuffles along.
If you don't trip him you'll give him so
much to attend to keeping clear of the stick
that he will very soon give up begging and
drop behind.
"Now, supposing you've got neither an
umbrella nor a walking-stick. Then YOU
must do the double on him. Like this ::
AS soon as the beggar begins to close up
behind you, quicken your pace. He'll
quicken his, too, and then as soon as YOU
are both going it lively, stop short, turn
quickly round him from behind, and take
up your walk on the other side at fast
gait. You'll be surprised to see how com
pletely Mustered this old schoolboy trick
will leave him.
"But supposing you don't want so much
exercise, try the simple plan of stopping,
him plainly and in good, clear voice, if
he is begging. He's pretty sure to take a
look round when you ask him this, and,
while he is doing SO, just walk quietly
along and the chances are he'll not accost
you again.
at seems an outrage, | know" the DO
liceman continued, chat people should
have to dodge beggars in New York, but
it's something to know how to do it,

Coffee.

There certainly is a system to follow in
purchasing coffee. In America this is so
frequently bought roasted (if not ready
ground), that it is not always considered
SO necessary to mention the principal
points worthy of the housewives OBJ
servance, as it is on the Continent,
where coffee is hardly ever purchased
otherwise than in the raw state, and one
cannot help urging American housekeepers
to roast and grind their own provision 1t
is much more satisfactory, and it seems a
matter for wonder that more people do not
pursue that course. There is no possibility of
comparison between the flavor of the beans
that are roasted, or at any rate, ground at
home, and those that are bought even in a
so-called perfectly fresh state. AS, a
general rule, it may be remarked, that the
more even the beans the better the quality,
which the best quality coffee has lighter
beans than the inferior sorts.
The best kinds of coffee are those coming
from Mocha, Syria and Egypt-or at any
rate, the sorts that go by the names of
these countries the beans are small, have
blush tint, and are rather round, but
they are not common. Java coffeeis much
used on the Continents it has pleasant
smell, and the beans are rather yellow,

One of the most curious burial customs
still existing in Ireland and in Somerset
shire, England, Is that of placing salt
upon the breast of a corpse as soon as it
has been properly laid cut" on tho cool
ing board. In England where the custom
still prevails among people who hoot tho
imputation of being supcrstitious, it is
claimed that it is done in order to pre-
vent air from getting into the corpse, and
thus swell and bloat it," Campbell and
Morcsin both refer to the practice as sur
vival of old time superstitious burial rites
They quote largely from ancient writer's to
prove that early Christians all regarded
salt Us an emblem of Immortality and eter-
nifty, and that on such accounts it was
ancicntly used in the manner above men,
toned. Hartman Is authority for the state
mcnt that the carly Germans not only put
salt under the tongues of their dead, but
also put little cylinders of rock salt in tho
right hands of the sick as soon as 1t was
learned that such persons were near death s
door
in most heather countries, where all
kinds of superstition prevail, salt is used
as II charm in frightening away evil spir-
its, and it is alleged that the Patagonians
frequently stranglo their children to death
by forcing salt down their threats to drive
