      CHEAP CHARITY .

      Some Well-Meaning And Benevolently Dispo...

      Some well-meaning and benevolently disposed people have lately been writing to the newspapers to suggest that the refuse the of Club cutlets dinners should , the be dregs carefull of the saved soup and -plates iven and to the bones of le who , this cold , weather would appreciate y such g princely poor fare peop .

Although it is not possible that the good things which can be put aside for the poor in a Club can be spared in the families houses of ordinary where peop a le stock , yet -pot we could would not suggest be kept that , in there which are a good few and nutritious broth might not be collected with the same charitable view . In the first place the water in which fish , pudding , or vegetables have been boiled should be put aside , and with this should be mixed the tea-leaves , which , after having served their ordinary purpose of assisting the housemaid to sweep the carpets will still be found to possess considerable strength and wholesome nourishment .

      The great difficulty that will present itself to those charitable persons who institute a soup tureen of the ingredients we have described , will , no doubt , be the fear of the great crowd of hungry paupers who will besiege their homes to partake of such goodly cheer . To avoid therefore any inconvenient crowding , we would suggest that any person who may appear to be in a starving condition and begs for food , should in no case be relieved in the first instance , but his appearance should be carefully observed 1 ,- and he should win be desired aiso to return on saie the
