with the bootblack brigade. This work
Is undertaken by the Central Shoe
black Society. There Is already such

gentlemen visiting London express
surprise that they are expected to
stand while they have their boots
blacked, as they are accustomed to sit
during the operation at home.
The society has sixty boys, who are
lodged, taught and partially boarded
on the premises of the institution, and
there Is an ingenious allotment Of their
earnings into three parts after an al
lowance for food required out Of doors,
one-third being their own, another
third the society's and the remaining
third going to their bank account, on
which they can draw for special pur-
