Orient Beggar.
Al old as Is civilization, 70 old is the
history OF the beggar kingdom, for
wherever have been found any collec-
ton Of men, the beggars there played
their business despite Indifference and
the scorn Of the majority, yet always
reaping their harvest from the philan-
thropic. The nearer one draws to tho
warmer countries more and more nu-
ncrous one finds the professional beg
gar. Egypt, India and Italy are the
worst examples. In countries which
boast Of their higher civilization beg
gary fourishes not through want or
priyation, but through cass of peo-
pie who make beggary their pfofee-
sion and who have made fine art Of
the methods of reaching the soft
hearted. And beggars Of this class do
not seem to stop at criminality.
A recent case was noted In press
dispatches Of unusual brutality prac-
tlced by beggar upon three children
in Ausfrta who had been kidnapped
from their parents The children told
a terrible tale of suffering mt the hands
of the beggar who had broken their
legs in two places and then twisted
the limbs out OF shape, SO that in
knitting together the bones would not
set straight. The man sent the chill
drcn out to beg for him and their pitt
ful condiIen made compassionate peo-
pie give large sums because OF their
apparent misery.

FORT AND PLENTY.

Maintenance Of a Great Institution
Through Compulsory Contributions
Of Men Of the Regular Army.-Has
Beautiful Grounds.
The National Soldiers Home in the
District Of Columbia Is the only insti-
tuition of its kind in the United States.
The home was founded March 3, 1851.
The idea of the establishment is said
to have originated with General Win
field Scott, after whom the main build
ing of the Home is named, and Of
whom there is fine bronze statue In
the grounds During the occupation OF
Mexico General Scott exacted sum Of
money from that country. The money
was paid to him, and he asked Con-
gress that 1t he set aside for the estab-
lishment at Washington OF Il home for
disabled enlisted men of the regular
navy and army. This was done. The
Home Is maintained by exacting from
every enlisted man and officer IL 1-2
cents from each months' pay. Fines
from court martial and money due
deserters 10 turned into this fund. I'm
prove ements at the Home are contem-
plated, which call for the expenditure
Of over one million dollars. The Home
has on deposit in the Treasury Of the
United States fund Of more than two
million dollars. It should be borne in
mind that the Government Of the
United States does not contribute one
dollar to the support Of this great in
tuition.
No women are employed at the
Home excepting those in the corps Of
trained nurses In the Home hospital.
Much Of the work at the home, farm
work, dairying. gardening. road main
tenance, housework, cooking, waiting
on table, ETC., is done by the inmates
who are paid for their services out Of
the Home fund.
There are about 1900 veterans in the
Institution. Many Of them are civil
war soldiers, some were disabled in
the West Indies, others in the Philip
pines, some In the Indian campaigns
and some were discharged from the
service for disability incurred in camp
and garrison. Many Of the Home
inmates are mere youths. Every hon
