Burial OF a Gypsy Maiden.

The Union Bridge (Md.) Index de-
scribes the burial of Gypsy girl in a
grove of stately pines near townsville
on Friday of last week. The corpse
was carried to the spot selected by male
members of the tribe, and the women
followed, clad in bright colored dresses
and gay shawls. One of the men re-
peated in deep toned voice unintelli-
glble sentences, one of which sounded
like, "Allah, oh, do, Allah!n Almost
Immediately the band, hand in hand,
began clrcllng about the corpse, after
the fashion OF children playing "Ring
around roses" at the same moment both
men and women began chanting sad
refrain, which filled the surrounding
woods with flying echoes. After con .
iinuing the chant awhile, the corpse
was covered with shawls and sur
rounded by the women, while the men
went diligently to work digging the
grave. In the meantime the females
bowed their heads sorrowfully and
swayed back and forth. The body was
afterward carefully deposited at the bot
tom OF the roughly sccoped out grave,
on board cushioned with leaves. After
each OF the women had thrown some
useful article into the aperture-prin-
cipally thlmbles and other small trink-
ets-the men began filling up the hole,
and the women and children trooped
back to the wagons apparently as happy
as children at their noontide recess.

COMMENTING on an article in the LIGHT
the Corpus Christi Caller says: There
are few towns in Texas that can afford
to stand still. In fact, they can not
stand still; they must either go forward
or retrograde. There is no middle
ground for new towns in new coun-
try as vast as Texas. If one set of peo-
pie turn the cold shoulder to an enter
prise 1t finds new field ina neighbor-
ing rival which has the vim and push
that will certainly eclipse the sleepy
town. Corpus Christi is in very much
the same condition us San Antonio.
Those Of us who are not asleep have lost
hope and are as helpless as babes. Like
Micawber, we are "waiting for some
thing to turn up" Instead of turning
it up ourselves, we are nursing the hope
that some fine morning we shall awake
to find mushroom Of prosperity lifting
us to place among cities without any
expenditure OF labor, brains or money
on our part. San Antonio and Corpus
Christi will never realize such pretty
dream. To make the anticipation real
they must go to work with brains,
muscle and money. These are the NOV
ing powers OF the world. They have
built cities, made harbors, won battles
and placed network of railroads
nearly over the entire globe. If you
have a railroad to build. build it. If
you have horn to blow, blow it; or shut
up your wind instrument, and ac-
knowledge you are nonentity. There
is no respectable middle ground. Go
forward or retrograde. God helps
those who help themselves"

The Georgia Legislature recently
elected Joseph Il. Brown TO the United
States Senate. with but two dissenting
voices. speaking Of this subject the
Washington Critic says: "This is OF
more than ordinary interest In connec-
tion with private information received
here from the State Of Georgia. That
information Is to the effect that the peo-
pie of the South are not near MS hungry
for Office Ms they are generally repre-
scented to be. This is especially the case
with the people Of Georgia, where, 1t Is
said, they do not at all relish the title OF
hungry hordes.' But they do want rep
resentatlon in the Cabinet. And the
portfolio that they would like to be rep
resented by the South Is that of the
Department of Justice. They want n
Southern man in that place because they
believe that they have for 30 years past
been prosecuted under the election and
Internal revenue laws. They want n
cessation Of what they call the injustice
that has been heaped upon them, and
believe it could be brought about by
a Southern man being made Attorney
General. And Senator Joseph f.. Brown
is frequently spoken Of MS being emil
nently fitted for the position"

are outstripping their neighbors in the

stop making fortunes right in your very
sight, solely through the direct use of
this mighty agent. >. When you can
forget the words OF the shrewdest and
most successful business men concern

6. When every man has become so thor

last year. !. When younger and spunk-
Ter and fresher concerns in your line

better they can do 1t than you can. s.
When you would rather have your own

Trying to swIndle Hancock.
Plttsburg Dispatch.

General Hancock, lately on a west
ern tour, is said to have received a
letter asserting that the writer had lent
various sums of money to his nephew,
Lieutenant Frank Hancock. out on
the plains. Frank died not long ago,
and the General had undertaken to
administer upon his estate. The let
ter minated that there were good rea-
sons why this claim ought to be quietly
satisfied. Hancock declined to be
agitated by this onslaught. Again the
fellow wrote Of chumship with the dead
lieutenant in the southwest, described
himself as gallant but unfortunate
adventurer into eastern civilization. and
as a friend, advised the general to
silence scandal by taking the lnsignif-
cant sum of $50 out of his own wallet.
Then the. general wrote that the de-
mand would never be met unless clear
proof of its business was supplied.
The applicant turns out to be a conf.
dence man of extensive experience.
His Texas record shows him up as a
swindler Of Free Masons. An official
communication from the secretary of a
lodge at Ell Paso sets him forth as a
professional rascal.

Why They Die In the Shell.

From the investigation we have
made and with the corporations OF
those who are operating incubators.
we have become inclined to the opin-
ion that one of the difficulties of artii.
cial Matching is that the temperature is
kept too high and about the nineteeth
or twentieth day. Some of the best
results have been secured when the
heat was maintained at 1o4 deg. and
even at 100 deg. at the time of hatch
ing, but later trials show that at the
start the hea. should be rather high,
about los deg. and then allowed grad
ually to reduce to Io2 deg. When the
heat is high the moisture should be
supplied plentifully, as the greater the
temperature the more moisture requlr.
ed to saturate the air in the egg drawer.
Should the heat be high about the time
of Matching, a fever heat is created.
and the chick becomes exhaused by
reason Of the heat, the lack Of oxygen,
and insufficient moisture. Too much
or too little heat causes the chicks to
come out weak, and as the chick for
the first ten days is not easily killed,
either by heat or other causes, after
the second week the moisture must be
amply provided, the eggs cooled well
every day, the heat kept at aoa. deg.
and the turning done promptly twice a
day.-Ex,
