THE COSTERMONGER.ONE OF THE MOST UNCIVILIZED
DENIZENS OF LOND i.
To the Street and Harrow Born—TheState the Regulator of the Coaler’s
*
Family—stowed Away at Night—lnves-tigation.
I find the present generation of Londoncosters, 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 flatbasket), or shoved a barrow from boy-hood, ever gets out of the business. Homay rise into a green grocer, a coal shed,a fried fish shop, or even a bacon andbutter establishment, by dint of great iu-dqjgry, but this is a dizzy eminence whichfew 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 afaithful diminutive ass, a harrow, a fewbaskets, and such other necessary imple-ments of trade, together with sufficientready cash to make his daily purchases.If to this be added the furniture for oneor two rooms in a back court or alley, anda Sunday suit for himself and “bestdress” for the “old gal,” we have, fromthe standpoint of a costermonger, a pic-ture of a thoroughly well-to-do man, ifnot of opulence itself.
Reliable statistics as to the presentnumber of Ixmdon costermongers are un-obtainable, but I am satisfied that an es-timate of 50,000 adults is below ratherthan abeve the mark. The coster haslong enjoyed the luxury of working hisentire family, including his wife. Homelife has no charms for him. His homo ison the streets and his recreation groundthe corner gin shop. Up long before .sun-rise in the morning, he pushes his quaintlittle barrow or spurs his stubborn donkeyon to market, and is ready to pick up bar-gains in fish, vegetables, fruits, mv*s oranything else that can be sold again.
And then the object is to sell. In thiswork he presses into service his wife orfemale companion, for the majority ofcosters waive the marriage ceremony, andall the children that the school board in-spectors don’t snatch from him. Theaverage coster’s idea of his duty towardhis family is to provide for them on thelowest scale compatible with keeping in-quiry at a distance, mid work thorn onthe highest. The state, to a large extent,is the regulator of the coster’s family.Now and again it steps in and compelshtm to take charge of his offspring, it in-tervenes in his gentle pastime of jumpingon the “old woman,” and it captures thebudding costers, male or female, clapsthem, ragged, dirty, uncivilized, into aboard school, and turns them out “beau-tiful little scholards.” But the rtnte is“’arsh and harbitrary,” he growls, “andcosters ’ave no rights in these days ofboard schools, street improvements, modeltenement ’ouses, and the like.”
Pardon the digression. It is not oftenthat the stock is closed out, even by theunited efforts of the family, until longafter dark. There is no evening meal, nocheerful fire awaiting the nomml of Lon-don’s thousand miles of streets. He andhis wife have taken their bread and penny-worth of fried fish, hot from the fish shopat the top of the court, and washed itdown with a pint of “three penny” at theneighboring pub. The children havelapped up their meals in the sain*; man-ner, like Gideon’s hosts, as the\ marchedalong. And if the night does not uni ingin drinking, fuddled heads, rod perhapsin blows, what are the closin',' rconestThe whole family tucked away in somevile cellar or room in what is known as“Coster’s district.” The barrow, coveredwith a sack or two, acts as a bed for someof the smaller members of the family—-the father and mother, anti probably adaughter and son of 14 or 15, c!i huddledtogether in one room, some : it ping onthe floor. Under the bed, if there is one,are the vegetables remaining unsold.Here calmly repose ihe “h < L b watercre-e-ses,” the “cherry ripe,” “lino jir>eplums,” the “inguus,” of u> morrow, andnot infrequently the “ni-cw mackerel,”and “all large and alive O!” “new spratsOS” which the denizens of Ijondon are torelish next day.
H I may judge, after reading the volu-minous testimony before the royal com-mission on housing the poor, the one thingthat commission did not solve was whatbecomes of the coster’s donkey at night.The combined interrogations of the Princeof Wales, Lord Salisbury, and Sir CharlesDilke failed to legally establish tv here thecoster kept his donkey, his barrow andhis surplus stock, though one cruel wit-ness deposed that water cress was gener-ally kept under the bed, sprinkled with alittle water and sold next morning asfresh gathered water cress. The schoolinspectors generally declared that thecoster preferred theold haunts, aiid wouldnot go to a respectable tenement house ifthe opportunity was afforded. They cannot make themselves sociable nor affiliatewith other people in any way. Few oftheir children attend school, and it wasdifficult to find a school to get them into,as they were so ragged and dirty. Thehabits of the coster made him a disagree-able neighbor. He deposited his fish andrefuse vegetable matter in the commondust bin of the court, hitched his donkeyin the back yard ahtl stored his unsoldstock in his room. In fact the Londoncostermonger is the terror of the pro-moters of model tenement houses, and itis said that he will wreck a new house ina very short time.—Robert P. Porter inInter Ocean.
Collapse In Dlarrboea.Ice water enemata are used with suc-
cess in the Birmingham general hospitalincases of collapse bften seen during di-arrhoea in young children. It is claimedthat one injection, two or three ounces,is very soon followed by sleep, and thatby the astringent effect on the congestedvessels of the intestines the diarrhoea isdiminished. It is further claimed thatno depression or other bad effect has re-sulted.—San Francisco Chronicle.

A Boys Influence.Some time ago I attended a roHgious
meeting, and at the close of the exorcisesthe audience was invited to participate intestimonies. A middle aged man aroseand said, in substance: “I'vebeen savedfrom intemperance by my little boy,”pointing to a bright lad in ‘he audience.“I oVe my conversion under God to myown little son. Religion has made me asober man and helps me to live an honest,industrious life. It was not always so.On one occasion I was absent three orfour days from my borne, and my poorwife and boy were nearly broken hearted.On the fourth day my dear child askedhis teacher to let bftn go home at recess,as he was not feeling well. The boy wassick at heart on my account; when horeached home he burst Into tears, andsaid to hismothei, ‘I can't study in school,I can’t sleep at night, my head echos a dmy lips are parched praying to God .osend home father. Motoe*' does Godhear? liis mother strove iocou:fo>t him.but her faith was beginning to waver forthrough her married life her uoceaslrgprayer bad been for my reclamation.
“After wandering from one saloon toanother, at the end of the foimo day Ireturned home iu oxieated. Did my boyturn from his drunken fsibe* t No, heran to mo, clasped his ai ms abou., myneck, and went tears of joy. After hisemotion subsided, his first words were*•Father, I almost feel I can Dover prayagain, for God has let you come homedrunk. The words struck ire to theheart, and I said:‘Don’t lose your faithin God, and your poor miserable fatherwill never get drunk again.’ God heardthat promise, and has enabled me to keepit.’’
This man is among the most earnestworkers-in the temperance cause to day.lie had lost all sei frespect and had BU*vkvery low, but could not bear to see bischild lose confidence in God; thereforethe hoy became the means of the fei bet’sreformation. The exe*lions put fori hOnbehalf of children in temperance ins..lo -
tion will no be lost iu the house, but willproduce lasting fiuitage.— Selected.

Coughing is ofteu under control of thewill and result of habit. There are manypeople who consume a small portion of alifetime in unnecessary coughing. At alittle irritation felt, a cough is set up, andhabit keeps it going until the iriite.ionprovoked produces a real and serious dis-ease. Throughforce of sympathy cough-ing often becomes contagious. This canbe well Illustrated in a school loom onrestless boys and girls, on a cold winter’sday. 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 theteacher’s voice is powerless as if he werein a din of artil’ery. The teacher thingsthe ruler to the do k, and commands ibisnoise to stop. Then for an instant aneloquent silence prevails. In church wemay sometimes observe the same thing—-when some old lady who has h.-d a pet
for year’s sets up a coughingstrain, which is soon followed as if inchorus, by many other members. Thepoor preacher {hen wages an unequalcontest and may as well stop preaching.These facts should be ample evidencethat coughing is an act under conl.olof the will in very many cases. In suchcases an application of “mind cure” canbe made effective. The family physiciancan often cure chronic coughs, not by aprescription, but a simple command tostop them.—Health and Home.
