Death Of a Gypsy Princess.

Much is constantly being written
and said about the Gypsies though
but little is really known Of their
inner life and customs. In one of
their encampments which was
distinguished by its neatness and the
intelligence of the members of its
band was young woman who was
called the princess and looked upon
with respect and admiration by all
the members of this wandering CON-
munity. A short time ago she was
taken very ill and after lingering a
few days, died. The funeral services
were conducted by a minister of q
village near which they were en-
camped and the remains then shipped
to Washington, ID. c., where a
wealthy relative of the deceased re-
sided. Then came the strange part of
the ceremony. AT midnight on the
Friday following the death of the
princess a fire was kindled on the
camp grounds, and every article of
wearing apparel or furniture belong
ing to their dead princess was
consigned to the flames. Among
these was the pretty cart that she did
her shopping in, the richly furnished
van in which she travelled-in fact,
everything which had belonged to her
was burned.
The gypsies claimed that this was
not a religious ceremony, but
customary means Of removing all re-
membrane and traces of sorrow in
connection with the dead, and to
carry out the idea the camp itself was
removed and no trace of the dead
princess was left.

He Was a. Dangerous Man.

A big man and a little man entered
saloon on Michigan avenue, near
Third street, the other day and called
for drinks. While the little man
fingered over his the big man called
the barkeeper aside and asked:
"Ever see him before ?"
"No."
"That's Texas Dick. He is the
man who grabbed a grizzly bear by
the ear and broke its neck. Don't
rile him, for he is on a tear and very
dangerous" When the little man
received change for a quarter he look
ed at in surprise and said:

"No, sir"
"What Call me liar! / want the
change for my 50 bill"
The big man winked vigorously at
the barkeeper not to engage in dis
pute with the dangerous man, and in
consequence change was made on the
new basis and the pair went out to
tackle another place. They found it
not far away, and it was in charge of
consumptive looking man. Dick
claimed to have laid down 50 bill.
Then the young man flashed up a
club and went for the two, and they
got out of doors so fast that they I'M

FOOD FOR HORSES.
The Advantage of Bruised Oats Over
Whole Clearly Demonstrated.

The Advantage of Bruised Oats Over
Whole Clearly Demonstrated.
The hard-working horse is often
guilty of what many farmers look upon
as an objectionable habit-oat boiling.
That is, they are so anious to get their
feed that they swallow their oats with
out mastication, the result being that
much of the grain passes through the
animal undigested. In such cases q
few whole peas mixed among the oats
are useful. The horse is very fond Of
them, and in chewing them can not
help masticating the oats also. But
bruised oats are better for horses in
the long run than whole grain fed with
or without other coarse food. The adj
vantage of bruised oats over whole in
horse feeding was recently well demon
strated by an experiment made by
the London Omnibus Company, which
owns some six thousand head of horses.
One half Of the horses were confined
to one kind of feeding, viz: That Of
bruised oats and cut hay and straw,
and the other half to whole oats and
hay. The ration allowed per day to
each horse according to the one sys-
tenn was, bruised oats, 16 pounds; cut
hay, "a pounds; cut straw, % pounds.
The quantity allowed, according to the
old system, was, unbruised oats, 10
pounds; uncut hay, - pounds There
was thus a saving of 6 pounds on the
feeding of each horse, and this saving
was not merely in the quantity but in
the value of the article employed, for
straw in the former case took the place
Of hay in the latter. The advantage of
one kind of feeding over the other
becomes far more apparent when
reduced to money value. The
saving by using the bruised oats
and cut hay is nearly five cents per day
for each horse, which is equal to
.$912.50 per day for 5000 horses. This
saving was accomplished without any
sacrifice whatever, for all the drivers
and those having charge Of the horses
agreed that the difference in the con-
dition of the horses was decidedly in
favor of those on bruised oats and cut
hay and straw. Five cents saved each
day on the feeding of horse is not a
large sum certainly, but it is this prin-
ciple of saving small sums in every de-
partment of the farm management
that really produces the best results.
The best methods are those which can
be carried out at less expense than
those commonly in vogue, and yet
prove more profitable to the farmer

What is the Tariff.

st. Paul Pioneer Press (Rep)
What is the tariff? A tax put up
on imported articles in order that such
goods shall be manufactured in
America. The object of so doing ?
The protection of those who have in
vested or will invest their money in
manufacturing. The result? Pre-
lection to the manufacturer and an
additional charge to every man, wO-
man and child who purchases their
articles. But it is claimed that the
tariff increases the wages of the
American mechanic. Is this true?
It might do so if there was q tariff up
on the importation of workers from
abroad; but as such is not the case,
it does not. There are more than
enough foreigners landed on our
shores to supply the increased de-
mand for workers caused by the
opening of new factories. On what
basis does the present tariff rest? A
war basis. Has the war ceased
Gen. Grant, who knew all about it,
said so, and rejOiced in the fact His
assertion is backed up by Gen. Sher-
man, who marched with "BOys in
Blue from Atlanta TO the sea.

AQUATIC INSECTS,
A Veteran Naturalist Tells How to Catct
and Keep Them.

n veteran Naturalist Tells How to Catch
and Keep Them.
The electric lights of our TOWNSHIP
better those at country and seaside re-
sorts-are wonderful helps to the young
entomologist. At Coney Island, for
example, you may see from early in
the evening till late into the hours of the
morning vast clouds of fascinated in
sects circling round and dashing against
the lamps, to fall at last to the ground,
and easy prey to the collector.
Will you accept from veteran, who
captured his first "darning-needle"
many years ago, few hints as to
means for studying aquatic insects?
When spending my vacations at the
lakes or on the sea-shore, l always take
with me couple OF nets of what are
known to the hardware trade as
painted tubs. These tubs are very
light and handy, and are tip-top for
packing things in; they cost about two
dollars nest. In these tubs l start
my fresh and saltwater aquaria, and
study the habits of various fresh-water
insects and animals.
All fresh-water insects rise to the
surface to breathe, for which fact they
are very easy to keep in confinement;
but remember they are all voracious,
and will destroy one another if not fed
either on fresh meat. fish or worms,
and also bear in mind that they all
have flying wings, and, unless the tubs
have Melted covers, they will get away.
In the bottom of the tubs Iplace atwo-
inch layer of fine river sand. In the
sand plant any Of the finer and most
attractive of water plants, taking care
that they have roots, and not to crowd
them two closely together. These
plants are absolutely necessary for the
comfort and health of your specimens,
and they also add greatly to the beauty
of the aquaria, as well as teach les
sons in aquatic botany. The tubs should
be placed whore the morning sun shines
on them from one to two hours.
All bug-like creatures found in fresh
water, whose bodies are long and of a
dirty white or greenish color, are the
babies of various water insects. Every
one of these water babies has fearful
appetite, and all are provided by nat
ure with special equipment of "gal-
ly-nippers," hooks, needles and clamps
for capturing their food; but, of all
food for water babies, earth-worms are
the best. All the water beetles will
construct their nests when confined
and properly taken care of in an
aquarium. 1t is very amusing to place
q number of house-fies on the surface
OF the water and watch the "apple-
smellers" chase after them; or, better
still, water spiders, In fact, there is
no end to the instruction and enter
tainment that can be grained by study
ing the habits of our most common
water insects. Golden DAYS.
