A (food mendicant, ff like a good salesman, studies his eus- 1 tornera, discovers their weak points, if he can, and trades upon them. A w French writer, who has given much at- *&> ten lion to the subject, describes at- h the methods by which such peo- T: pie- who set their; living11 by pauperi- . culture"--play upon the superstitions •*' of their victims. • . There is a common notion that giving ft alms brings good fortune. tf „ "Go to the sorbonne," says our French r * author, "on the days of examination \ • for the bachelor's decree.
