GYPSY LOVE AND LIFE.
Some New Facts Concerning a Very Inter
esting People.


Some New Facts Concerning Very Inter
esting People.
There is fascination about "Gypsy
.lore''which is, perhaps, increasingly fell
now that those nomadic insurgents are
being gradually-slowly, 1t may be,
but surely absorbed by the environ.
ing civilization. The altered condition
of modern society make their wander
ing life more difficult, their language
is invaded by gaujo elements, mixed
marriages attenute the strength of the
Romany blood, and dotted over the
map of Europe there are now little
stationary colonies of house-dwelling
Gypsies, who no longer take the road
or ''fold their tents like the Arabs"
The Gypsies have been clearly visi-
bic in Europe for four centuries and a
half They have been the Ishmaelites
OF the modern world. If at the present
day the law has ceased to treat them
harshly the social pressure is proba-
bly, greater, so that it is now or never
for those who wish to make a scientific
study OF these wanderers. A volume,
entitled the "Gypsies,' by Adrian A.
Coloci, forms an excellent introduction
to such study. The prosecutions of
the Zingari have been many and bit
Ter. Even in the last century they
were accused of cannibalisml To their
foreign appearance and strange mode
OF life they added the practice of arts
that were regarded as irreligious and
heathenish.
1t may be news to many to learn that
1t was not until 1856 that, by the aboli-
ton of Romany slavery in Dacia, the
freedom Of the Zingari in Europe was
completed. Colocci agrees with other
observers in regarding the Gypsies as
practically destitute of religion, al
though willing to adopt nominally the
prevailing faith of any country in
which they may be sojourners. In
England they are Protestants, in Tur-
key Mohammedans. Morally they are
unframed children, Indifferent to everv
thing but the satisfaction of the desire
of the moment, whether that desire be
the offspring of love, or greed, or hate.
While there is but little Gypsy
poetry among the English tribes, the
''gift and faculty divine" appears pro-
fusely both in Spain and in the remoter
parts of Europe; and one of the most
interesting portions of this book is
that which gives specimens of the
Romany muse. The pieces are mostly
short, often strange in form, but not
infrequently inspired by genuine poetic
feeling. This sometimes finds express
sion in modes so unexpected as to
have almost the quality of genius
The Gypsy sings the beauty of his
sweetheart; apostrophises the sun and
stars with heather fervor, and cele-
brates the success of the knavish ruses
by which he has gained an advantage
over the 6uSuo. Filial affection, also,
finds a place in his songs. While he
shows the frankest enjoyment of the
material side of life, there is often a
spirit of profound melancholy mani
tested in these lyrics. The Zingari
have always been famous for their
love of music. The estimate which
gives the Gypsy race million souls is
probably far below the truth.-London

THEY WANT IRON.

People In the Stone Age Who Are Anxious
to Get Out of It.
Here and there in few corners of
the world people are still living in the
stone age, but it is observed that they
are very glad to emerge into the age
of iron as soon as they learn something
OF the properties of that wonderful
metal. DIR. Ffnsch had an interesting
experience while ago among the ma
tives of Northeastern New Guinea.
The Natives had already met a white
man, and had seen axes and other i'm
plements that were far superior to
their axes OF stone or shell. They had
also seen hoop iron. and had found
that they could make implements of
it. DR.. Finch had with him a lot of
looking glasses, beads, finger rings,
and other articles calculated to please
the fancy of the untutored savage.
But these gewgaws attracted but little
attention. The savage in those parts
has very practical side to his nature,
and he called loudly for iron. The
women and the young people were
pleased with the beads for a short
time, but they soon tired of them.
Even the Papuan boys unhesitatingly
threw down their handfuls of beads if
little piece of hoop iron was offered
to them.
1t is easy to understand that as soon
as people who have always used
stone and shell implements appreciate
IN some degree the advantage of iron,
no present can be more acceptable to
them than iron. DR.. Finsch found that
an iron nail was a far more valuable
present than the trinkets which delight
the tribes of Africa, who have long
lived in the iron age. He says the
Papuans of New Guinea do not want
raw iron, for they understand neither
smelling nor smithing, but iron in any
manufactured form that is convenient
for their use is eagarly desired. They
think little piece of hoop iron is a
treasure, for they have found that they
can sharpen it on rock to an edge or
point.
On the other hand. Dr. Finsch saws
ne met natives on the south coast of
New Guinea who were still using stone
axes, though they had had iron axes
for some time. He was astonisbed to
observe the rapidity with which thew
could fell trees and fashion logs into
canoes with no other implement than
the stone axe of their fathers. N. Y

Samuel C. Gates living near here, says
Manatec (Fla) letter to the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat, pridcs himself on his fine cows
Recently he nosced that one of them gave
very little milk aud he came to the conclu.
sion that she was MIXED before she reached
the yard. The other day he determined
to watch for the thief, and taking his gun
carefully went out to where they were graz,
ing. He secured a position near this par
ticular COW where he was screened and
waited. For two hours he remained there,
not seeing any thing suspicious. Suddenly
he noticed two big black snakes glide out OF
a branch near by. They went through the
herd, the cows not minding them and pro-
ceeded directly to this COW. To Mr. Gates
great astonishment he saw one of them coil
itself up under the COW and reaching up
grasped a tcat and began sucking. ...'"
The COW seemed indifferent, as she stood
still, but stopped chewing her cud. After
sucking for few minutes the first snake
stopped and moved to one side, when the
second one moved up and took its place and
began enjoying its feast of fresh milk. Mr..
Gates thought this was too much of good
thing and moved out to have his share of the
sport AS soon as she saw him the COW bel
lowed loudly and ran off. The snakes coiled
themselves up and darted out their tongues
defantly at him. Moving around till he
got them both in line he fired at them,
blowing their heads off, They were found
to be male and female and very large speci-
mems, one measuring nearly seven feet
long, but not very large around. This is the
first instance, Mr. Gates says, he ever saw
where two snakes worked together and
seemed to know lust how to divide a good
thing

The Discovery of tho Effervesce1t Beverage
r., ~. Purely Accidental. r..... =.
Champagne was discovered or invented
by accident, like so many other things, says
writer in Lippincotts Magazine. About
1853 one Perignon was cellarer in a Bene-
dlctlnc convent in Hautviliiers, Champagne
Providence had evidently marked him out
for that position, and bestowed on him a
strong head and q discriminating palate.
The products of the neighboring vineyards
were various, and, like a true Benedict,
Dom Perignon hit upon the idea of ''marry-
ing" the various wines. He had noted that
one KIND of soil impaired fragrance, another
generosity, and discovered that a white
wine could be made from the BLACKLIST
grapes which would keep far better than
the wine from white grapes. Moreover, the
happy thought struck him that piece of
cork was more suitable stopper than the
fax dipped in oil which had heretofore
served that purpose. His wine became IA
nous and its manufacture extended
throughout Champagne. Then he hap
pened upon still greater discovcry-how
to make an effervescent wine, wine that
burst out Of the bottle and overhowed the
glass, whose fragrance and exhllarating
qualities wero doubled by this process. At
that time the glory OF the Roi Solei was on
the wane, and with it the splcndor of the
court Of Versailles. The King, for whose
special benefit Liquors had been invented,
found CLEAN of his youthful energy as he
slipped the creamy -foaming vintage that en-
livened his dreary tctc .a-tetc with Nine.

hAlLING THE PIRATES.
They Returned No Answer and Did No
~. - Court an Attack.

| go tOuTi III 4AlLdCk.
The following amusing incident is re.
ported as having occurred in the experience:
of the Surveying Expedition to the NORTH
Pacific, in 1865. This happened, as will BIZ
seen, in the Malay Archipelago. The Han
cock, having anchored near an island abou.
which she had been surveying during the
! day, was left in charge Of thirty fathoms OF
cnain and the officer Of the watch, while
every one else had retired. There had been
much talk about this time in relation to
MALAY pirates" how they boarded ships in
their ptrdHS at night, and murdered all
hands. 49,,
The possibility of such an attack caused
US to keep constantly on guard, simply as a
measure of prudence. There was no cause
for men Of even ordinary firmness to feel
nervous, however; but VIC unfortunately
had an alarmist aboard, who was always iiu-
aglnlng his throat cut a snake under his
pillow, or something of the sort; and who
never went to bed without locking the door
OF his state.rO0m and arming himself in tue
most formidable manner.
He had gone to bed this night as usual,
with Sharpe's rife, double-barrcled gun,
two reviewers and a bowic-knltc, and was
Just getting into dOzc when the quarter
masters hoarse voice reached HIM from the
deck. .,e--...s,,.,,

He grasped his guns, first one and then
the other, and finally sat bolt upright, with

In few minutes all hands were on deck,

They looked like LDat5 moving stealthIly

"Hail them in Malay, Mr.. Squres," said
Commander Rodgers.
Squircs threw himself back and drew a
long breath. "Phrau man-a-a-r"
No answer. 'Thcy must have some bad
object or they would answer hazarded the
unsteady voice Of semi alarlnist s.a:,
"Phrau man-a-a-rw Still no answer riT

Death-Giving Oxygen.

1t is curious fact, discovered by DR.. B.
W. Richardson that pure oxygen becomes
devitalized by repeated inhalations. Ami
mails confined in a current of freshly-made,
pure oxygen were differently affected, but
never became sleepy; but when the oxy-
gen, ouco inhaled, was freed from all known
impurities and again supplied, the animals
invariably became drowsy, fell asleep, and,
under successive inhalations of the purified
gas expired 1t was evident that, in breath
ing, the oxygen had undergone some change
unknown to the chemist. What the change
is can only be conjoctured, though DR.. Rich
ardson has found that if the exhausted oxy-
gen be electrically charged it is revitalizcd,
and will again support life.
