Origin of the Gypsies.

The conclusion that the gypsies wan
dered from India is now almost univer-
sally accepted, but when or from what
part of India are questions on which
few have done more than idly specu-
late. The Identification of the gypSies
with the Jats, who in the Punjab alone
number ,3UO, 800, has received the sup
port of many of those whose opinions
on such matters must receive the great
est respect. In a metrlcal paraphase
of Genesis. made by an Austrian monk
about l 1872 they are noticed as Ish-
maeitles, and their descent thus credi-
]ed to Hagar. There is tale extant
that the wandering instinct Of the
gipsy Is due to the fact that his ances-
tors refused to shelter the Virgin and
Child in their flight into Egypt. This
race has many other names IN addition
to that Of gypsy such as Bohemlans,
in France; ClganOs, in Portugal; Gita-
nos, in Spain; Hiedens. in Holland :,
PharOah nepek in Hungary: Tartar, In
Denmark and sweden; Wallachlans, in
italy; and Zlegeuner, in Germany.
