To the Street and Harrow Born—The State the Regulator of the Coaler’s * Family—stowed Away at Night—lnves- tigation. I find the present generation of London costers, as a rule, to the manner, or, per- haps I should say, to the street and bar- row born. It is rarely a man thus born, and who has carried a “shallow” (a flat basket), or shoved a barrow from boy- hood, ever gets out of the business. Ho may rise into a green grocer, a coal shed, a fried fish shop, or even a bacon and butter establishment, by dint of great iu- dqjgry, but this is a dizzy eminence which few costers attain, and of which the ma- jority do not dream. He is indeed fortu- nate if. after a busy life of almost cease- less toil, he can gaze upon ns his own a faithful diminutive ass, a harrow, a few baskets, and such other necessary imple- ments of trade, together with sufficient ready cash to make his daily purchases. If to this be added the furniture for one or two rooms in a back court or alley, and a Sunday suit for himself and “best dress” for the “old gal,” we have, from the standpoint of a costermonger, a pic- ture of a thoroughly well-to-do man, if not of opulence itself. Reliable statistics as to the present number of Ixmdon costermongers are un- obtainable, but I am satisfied that an es- timate of 50,000 adults is below rather than abeve the mark. The coster has long enjoyed the luxury of working his entire family, including his wife. Home life has no charms for him. His homo is on the streets and his recreation ground the corner gin shop. Up long before .sun- rise in the morning, he pushes his quaint little barrow or spurs his stubborn donkey on to market, and is ready to pick up bar- gains in fish, vegetables, fruits, mv*s or anything else that can be sold again. And then the object is to sell. In this work he presses into service his wife or female companion, for the majority of costers waive the marriage ceremony, and all the children that the school board in- spectors don’t snatch from him. The average coster’s idea of his duty toward his family is to provide for them on the lowest scale compatible with keeping in- quiry at a distance, mid work thorn on the highest. The state, to a large extent, is the regulator of the coster’s family. Now and again it steps in and compels htm to take charge of his offspring, it in- tervenes in his gentle pastime of jumping on the “old woman,” and it captures the budding costers, male or female, claps them, ragged, dirty, uncivilized, into a board school, and turns them out “beau- tiful little scholards.” But the rtnte is “’arsh and harbitrary,” he growls, “and costers ’ave no rights in these days of board schools, street improvements, model tenement ’ouses, and the like.” Pardon the digression. It is not often that the stock is closed out, even by the united efforts of the family, until long after dark. There is no evening meal, no cheerful fire awaiting the nomml of Lon- don’s thousand miles of streets. He and his wife have taken their bread and penny- worth of fried fish, hot from the fish shop at the top of the court, and washed it down with a pint of “three penny” at the neighboring pub. The children have lapped up their meals in the sain*; man- ner, like Gideon’s hosts, as the\ marched along. And if the night does not uni in gin drinking, fuddled heads, rod perhaps in blows, what are the closin',' rcones t The whole family tucked away in some vile cellar or room in what is known as “Coster’s district.” The barrow, covered with a sack or two, acts as a bed for some of the smaller members of the family—- the father and mother, anti probably a daughter and son of 14 or 15, c!i huddled together in one room, some : it ping on the floor. Under the bed, if there is one, are the vegetables remaining unsold. Here calmly repose ihe “h < L b water cre-e-ses,” the “cherry ripe,” “lino jir>e plums,” the “inguus,” of u> morrow, and not infrequently the “ni-cw mackerel,” and “all large and alive O!” “new sprats OS” which the denizens of Ijondon are to relish next day. H I may judge, after reading the volu- minous testimony before the royal com- mission on housing the poor, the one thing that commission did not solve was what becomes of the coster’s donkey at night. The combined interrogations of the Prince of Wales, Lord Salisbury, and Sir Charles Dilke failed to legally establish tv here the coster kept his donkey, his barrow and his surplus stock, though one cruel wit- ness deposed that water cress was gener- ally kept under the bed, sprinkled with a little water and sold next morning as fresh gathered water cress. The school inspectors generally declared that the coster preferred the old haunts, aiid would not go to a respectable tenement house if the opportunity was afforded. They can not make themselves sociable nor affiliate with other people in any way. Few of their children attend school, and it was difficult to find a school to get them into, as they were so ragged and dirty. The habits of the coster made him a disagree- able neighbor. He deposited his fish and refuse vegetable matter in the common dust bin of the court, hitched his donkey in the back yard ahtl stored his unsold stock in his room. In fact the London costermonger is the terror of the pro- moters of model tenement houses, and it is said that he will wreck a new house in a very short time. —Robert P. Porter in Inter Ocean. Collapse In Dlarrboea. Ice water enemata are used with suc- cess in the Birmingham general hospital incases of collapse bften seen during di- arrhoea in young children. It is claimed that one injection, two or three ounces, is very soon followed by sleep, and that by the astringent effect on the congested vessels of the intestines the diarrhoea is diminished. It is further claimed that no depression or other bad effect has re- sulted.—San Francisco Chronicle. PHARM A C Y IT CIO TO 11 W. GOODMAN, A DRUGGIST Rr.rr ■r torn** H it<: ChrmlcNl*.

Some time ago I attended a roHgious meeting, and at the close of the exorcises the audience was invited to participate in testimonies. A middle aged man arose and said, in substance: “I've been saved from intemperance by my little boy,” pointing to a bright lad in ‘he audience. “I oVe my conversion under God to my own little son. Religion has made me a sober man and helps me to live an honest, industrious life. It was not always so. On one occasion I was absent three or four days from my borne, and my poor wife and boy were nearly broken hearted. On the fourth day my dear child asked his teacher to let bftn go home at recess, as he was not feeling well. The boy was sick at heart on my account; when ho reached home he burst Into tears, and said to hismothei, ‘I can't study in school, I can’t sleep at night, my head echos a d my lips are parched praying to God .o send home father. Motoe*' does God hear? liis mother strove iocou:fo>t him. but her faith was beginning to waver for through her married life her uoceaslrg prayer bad been for my reclamation. “After wandering from one saloon to another, at the end of the foimo day I returned home iu oxieated. Did my boy turn from his drunken fsibe* t No, he ran to mo, clasped his ai ms abou., my neck, and went tears of joy. After his emotion subsided, his first words were* •Father, I almost feel I can Dover pray again, for God has let you come home drunk. The words struck ire to the heart, and I said:‘Don’t lose your faith in God, and your poor miserable father will never get drunk again.’ God heard that promise, and has enabled me to keep it.’’ This man is among the most earnest workers-in the temperance cause to day. lie had lost all sei frespect and had BU*vk very low, but could not bear to see bis child lose confidence in God; there fore the hoy became the means of the fei bet’s reformation. The exe* lions put fori hOn behalf of children in temperance ins..lo tion will no be lost iu the house, but will produce lasting fiuitage.— Selected. ThoCouKbliiAc iiniiii. Coughing is ofteu under control of the will and result of habit. There are many people who consume a small portion of a lifetime in unnecessary coughing. At a little irritation felt, a cough is set up, and habit keeps it going until the iriite.ion provoked produces a real and serious dis- ease. Through force of sympathy cough- ing often becomes contagious. This can be well Illustrated in a school loom on restless boys and girls, on a cold winter’s day. Let one child set the ball ruling, when the teacher addresses the school another child takes up the musical note, then another, and still another until the teacher’s voice is powerless as if he were in a din of artil’ery. The teacher things the ruler to the do k, and commands ibis noise to stop. Then for an instant an eloquent silence prevails. In church we may sometimes observe the same thing—- when some old lady who has h.-d a pet for year’s sets up a coughing strain, which is soon followed as if in chorus, by many other members. The poor preacher {hen wages an unequal contest and may as well stop preaching. These facts should be ample evidence that coughing is an act under conl.ol of the will in very many cases. In such cases an application of “mind cure” can be made effective. The family physician can often cure chronic coughs, not by a prescription, but a simple command to stop them.—Health and Home. Matrimonial Mistake. Philosopher—lt is remarkable how much trouble learned men have with their wives. Scientist—l have given that subject much thought, and my conclusion islbat the fauit is in marrying learned women. A Scientist does not need a laboratory assistant. He needs a nice liiile woman to look after bis bouse and see {hat be has his neck-tie on when he goes oiu. I see; just a little bit of a dollie dump- ling who doesn’t know beans. You follow ed that idea, I supprse, in your own case? Oh, yea? I married a Vassar girl. Many fortunes are received which it ought to be the first business of the heir to clean up, to purge. A cut sc must rest upon any home wlieie indulgence of the love of tuc beautiful has been obiuined at the price of honor. The sun uses its power of brightness to shine; the violets on the bank uses i>fra- grance to breathe it forth, and alt things are using tbeir powers up to the highest capacities. Al! but inan; man alone is guilty of what be called the great sin of / unu^ed’power. He who is unjust to himself, can he just to others? It is only in himself that he can know what justice is, or what is good or bail for others. We never benefit another but by our own resources. < A multitude of eyes will narrowly iusneet every part of a'l eminent man. consider him nfeceiy in all views, and not be a little pleaswl when they have taken him in the worst and most disadvantageous lights.
