Mendicancy aw i Profeaslon—Thorc Who Torture 'Thensclves, Swallow Old Tron, Get Itun Over, Go Without Eating, Live ina Trance, and Do Other Odd Things Itather than Work. Tonio Standart, Avery curious tribe of beggars {s that whose members torture themselves, not aut of view and to exeltesyinpathy when the deed is done by exhibiting the results, but in the sight of everybody who chouses ta look on, and Just to draw contributions by the oddity: of the performance. ‘Thisis one of the old- est and most widespread of mendleant tricks, only {nother days and in’ distant lands the beggar tried, and still tries, to dig- unify the practlee by attaching to It high religious motive and meaning, So It used to bo with the Ascetics, Eremites, and Pillar Salnts of Old Christendom; and so It ig still with the Phila Fakeers of Hindostan and the Dervishes of Islam. In ourown land, however, we have grown too civilized and skeptical for any such thing lo pass muster asaspecimen of herolc holiness. Mere self torturing in public Is merely practiced for the purpose of pandering to that love of what is wonderfut common te vulgar minds, and to that stil] bager lve of what is cruel, which ts just ny common. Anybody walking along the towing-path of the Ists, betwe i Folly Bridge and Ifley, on any of the summer days which idle Oxford devotes to rowing matches dur- ing the University vacation, will sve plenty of beggar self-torture, in one of [ts imlldest forms, ere he ling been half an hour by the river-side. He will notices in all directions young mendleants flinging themselves headlong {nto the water, clothes and oll, for the sake of a few coppers. Golng round the public houses of the snme elty he will observe abundance of torture of stonneh and nerve by extraordinary feats of drinking. ‘The writer has seen such beggars practice in many other places, but never so frequently asin Oxford,—a fact which, per- haps, may be accounted for by the number of thonghtless and well-to-~lo youths who crowd the places during term time. A fel- low will walk Into one of these taverns, when itis full, and inake an offer, which ts seldom refused, to gulp down at a single tiraught a pot of aleevery ten minittes, for an houwroreven longer,—the pay being a shil- Hing or twoand the ale,—often for the ale alone; and n second, who docs not care for ale, will undertake to deposit n pint of strong spirits fn hits stomach, at the rate of a glass every five minutes, ata slinitar price, Moreover, all these swillers are prepared to repeat the performunce after sleeplng couple of hours iva hayloft, “There used to be Oxford taverns, exch of which retalned one of these txtraureinary beer and spirit bibbers as a special attractlon. Such people invariably come to a premature end, and often In form to attract public attention, 1s When some wnanceustomed, performance ln their special Hine slays them on the spot. Akinto the drinking begears are those who gorge chonmons quintilies of food—often raw, and astonally of strange sort—nt a moment's notice, and for astlpulated sum, Not long ago. a. fellow of this kind was mnintalned by the Jandlord of n wayside tayern” in Buel sheerly on necount of his wording voracity, which drew customers from all sides tq wit- ness Its action. ‘This devourer would thake nothing of eating a dozen dinners In succes sion, and ns fast as they could be prepared, and only for the suke of the food, which was paid for by the sightseer.
