Becqsrs Of Bombay.

The nuisance caused by beggars in

poverty where they find it. Recitals
from Kebit and Marabal never fail to
touch the innermost chords of the ma

spiritualism, and the faker backs up
his appeal for aims with profuse quo
tations from the poets. Then there
are lay beggars and religious beggars,

tice mendicancy as a hereditary pro-
fession. Last and not least are the un-

SELF CLEANING BRUSH.
Apparatus For Bath Use and Other
Household Purposes.


The device which is illustrated IN
the accompanying engraving is partic.
ularly adapted for use as a bath
brush, although with slight modifca-
lions 1t may be used as a scrubbing
brush for floors, windows and similar
articles. The brush is provided with
an inner receivable part, arranged, like

from a faucet through the brush ham
die. The water serves to keep the bris-
ties clean.
The outer ring A of the brush is
formed with a spider, B, in which the
inner ring or wheel G is journaled.
The ring A is fitted with two rows Of
bristles arranged to form a continuous
brush surface. The spokes Of the inner
wheel also carry bristles, the ends of
which are at the same level as those

Handy Concrete Mixer.

A combination barrow and concrete
mixer is now made for small jobs and
repair work and saves much time in
the manipulation and transportation
of the materials required. The barrow,
loaded with the sand, cement and wa
ter, is wheeled up to a small cradle ar
rangement, where a cover fits down
over the barrow body and at the same
time a number of blades sink into the
mass. The mass is then churned by
the blades until it has become thor
oughly mixed, which requires but a
few minutes, on account Of the great
efficiency Of the blades. The turning
may be done by hand power, but
where it is convenient this work may
be done by steam or electrical power.
A device of this kind is also designed
for use on farms and other places Of a
like character, where concrete is be-
coming very popular because Of its
great convenience and pliability and
where it is largely used as a substitute
for wood In a great variety of work.

A GREWS0ME REQUEST.
Extraordinary Legacy by the Father
Of Lord Audley,

Extraordinary Legacy by the Father
Of Lord AudIey.
Probably the most grewsome be-
quest ever named in a will was that
made by Philip Thicknesse, a dissfpat.
ed Englishman, who died in 1892. Some
years before his death he had quarrel
ed bitterly with his son, Lord Audley
and to spite him had placed on the
outside Of the family mansion a board
bearing this inscription in large. black
letters:
"Boots and shoes mended, carpets
beat, ETC.. ETC., by P. Thicknesse. ia
Their of Lord Audley."
Finding he was about to die, he sent
for his lawyer and drew up a will con-
tanning the following extraordinary
clause: Il leave my right hand, to be
cut of after my death, to my son, Lord
Audley. l desire it may be sent to him
in hopes that such a sight may remind
him of his duty to God after having
so long abandoned the duty he owed
to a father who once so affectionately
loved him."
The dead mans wishes were scrupu-
lousy carried out, and his severed
hand, Enclosed in a Theoretically sealed
leaden casket. was forwarded to his
son.. There is no record as to how
Lord Audley received his unwelcome
legacy or how he disposed Of it.-New
York Press.
