sEeGARs OF THE WORLD.

Wherever there are men there are
peggars. Every nation has its Dlendi
cants, and, although some people mold
them to scorn, there are others who
venerate them and recognize thei.
business as legitimate.
Strangely, the greatest nation OF
beggars in the world adjoins tha
which has, perhaps, the smallest, ~
one of the smallest, percentages o:
beggars-and these countries are
Italy and Switzerland.
That beggary is result of indo]
ence is shown by the fact that the peo-
pie Of every warm climate are over
run with mendicants. Egypt India
and Italy are the worst examples.
Among civilized nations beggary has
taken on form of criminality. The
professional beggar begs, not for want
or privation. He has reduced his
whines for help to a fine art which
yields riches in many cases.
Werever charity and pity exist there
will be found beggary The people
with whom the fight for existence is
bitter and productive of selfishness
have few who beg. while wealth and
luxury breed hordes OF parasites who
eu3sist upon the kindness of those
who have to give.
The most picturesque beggar in the
world, perhaps, holds place of power
and a big pull" at Loong Wah, in
China. Covered from head to foot
with rags, this man controls the beg
gar industry of a province and has
scores of others working for him.
Blindness draws more pity than
anything else. annd most of the ber-
sars of Cuba and Porto Rico eitht !,
are blind or feign blindness.
The Egyptian beggar often is pa'-
riarch, possessed of money, grown Of l
and distinguished in plying his trade.
Beggary in Egypt is the greater:
trade, especially along the Nile where
tourists frequently are forced to use
whips or clubs, or hire guides to use
them, to drive away the swarms of
mendicants, who even swim out to
the boats to beg.
Beggary in Siam has drawn the at
tention of artists to the picturesque
features. These travellers are as
roaming in instinct as American
tramps and wander all over the
country. being admitted as guests to
almost any household.
