The Rise of the Gypsy.

Edgar L. Wakeman, whose life among
and close study of the Romany entities
him to be ranked as the highest author
ity upon gypsies, furnishes from time to
time many interesting facts in regard to
their progress in this country. He states
that in Chicago there is clergyman
who was born gypsy. A member of
the Pennsylvania legislature has the
same origin. In Canada there are fifty
eminent professional people who are Of
the Bohemian race. A prominent engi-
neer on a southern railway is
gypsy. Mr.. Wakeman says that
in New York City there are
half hundred gypsies, several of
whom are worth upward of 100000
apiece. A Boston lawyer who is in good
practice is gypsy. A San Francisco
cafe is owned and conducted by a gypsy,
who is very rich. In Indianapolis is
physician in large practice, who passes
as an Englishman. He was born in a
4etholm gypsy camp. One of the
wealthiest residents of Washington is a
gypsy. Certain business men in Rich
mond and Baltimore have the same ori-
gin. Henry Stanley, of St. Paul, owns
property worth $4,000. The Cooper
family, of East Somerville, Boston,
"iO WOlOii FNco,OuO. OIldll w udI-
ton owns 100000 worth of real estate
in New York. In Canada the amount
of property owned by gypsies is very
large. Half million dollars worth of
property in and near Dayton, Ohio, is
owned by gypsies. In Milwaukee Elias
Brewer owns $50, 900 worth of property.
"In Short" says Mr.. Wakeman, 81
make it as a statement of fact that l
could fill columns with names and ad-
dresses and property estimates of nearly
thousand gypsies in this country whose
combined wealth would exceed 4O,OOO,-
600.
Thus it is that the gypsies have be-
come an interesting race to the students
OF sociology. Their advancement and
prosperity are not suppositious. The
gypsies are becoming in reality an i'm
portent part of the community. As Mr..
Wakeman hints, some day the busy
politician will be scurrying about to
catch the gypsy vote.-[New York

AIPHoNso XIII. OF SPAIN.

"Gravely, and with true Castilian
decorum, was the baby monarch pre-
sented to the noble assemblage, and then
the Duchess Medina de las Torres took
him in her arms and bore him to his
mother, bidding her Kiss his Majesty,
the Kingp Five days later there came
the christening, when the ceremonies
were of regal magnifcence, and all the
grandees focked to do honor to the baby
Bourbon. Indeed, this tiny King seems
to have been born to ceremony, and In
his four years of life has assisted at many
public affairs.
.sBut little Alfonso is not strong
child, and the past winter he has been so
ill that great fears were entertained for
his life. His high forehead, however,
bespeaks intelligence, and he is well
guarded and tended, while each summer
he goes with his mother and young
sisters to the beautiful palace of La
Granja,' among the mountains, where he
can inhale the fragrant, spicy odors Of
the pine forests and lead free country
life. Should he live he will remain in
the hands of nurses and governesses
until he is seven, at which age he will be
turned over to tutor and masters, to re-
ceive q thorough education, while at
sixteen he is to be presented to the
Cortes, the Queen Regent will retire and
he become ruler in fact rs well as in
name"

Almost All Avenues of Employment

Of the Four Seasons, Etc.

Women in France, says Paris letter
to the San Francisco Chronicle, cannot
justly complain that an insufficient num-
Der of the avenues of labor are not open
to them. The Government gives them
occupation in many ways-in the mint,
as tclegraphists, in the postoffice, in the
telephone Offices and in other ways too
numerous to mention. AS physicians
they conquered their place long ago. The
bar is almost the only profession or trade
that they have not invaded. Every Paris
shop, almost without exception, has its
woman cashier. A cook starts res
taurant and reigns supreme in the kitchen
while his wife superintends the service,
perhaps with the assistance of a matro
d'hotel. A shirtmaller opens a shop fol
the sale of articles connected with his
trade and does the cutting, while his
wife presides at the counter. The tailor
has usually his wife as cashier. French
women are editors of newspapers and re.

The Oldest Inhabitant.

Census Taker Bethune, of Milledse'
vile, Ca, in discharging his duties, ran
across the oldest inhabitant, and was puz-
zlcd for awhile as to what entry to make
of her age. Jane Moore, colored, living
in the northern part of the city, gave her
ace as one hundred and twcnty-one years.
Mr.. Bethune questioned her for some
time and discovered that the old woman
was regular encyclopedia of the early
days of American Independence. She
knew all about it-was there and saw It,.
She remembered Washington and all OF
the fathers. She remembered theil
habits and eccentricities, and said that
she was married and had children when
Washington died. Her oldest living
child is eighty-eight years old, and since
its birth she has been blessed with twenty
seven Others. She is evidently not less
than one hundred and ten years and may
be one hundred and twcnty-one, as she
says.-Nev York Mercury

A notable class of the women work
crs of Paris are those called "merchants
of the four seasons" They are provided
with q handcart commonly filled with
vegetables or other products of the land
and water peculiar to the different sea-
sons, but the name is sufficiently elastic
to include those who deal the year round
in meat, oranges or other things which
the appcllation would family suggest.
The privilege of following this arduous
occupation is only granted to persons
who are aged and decrepit, and who, if
the laws of health were observed, really
should not be engaged in it. In the
morning they 60 at daylight to the cen
tral market to lay in their stock of fruit,
meat, vegetables, etc., and thence for
ward till dark, and sometimes until q
certain hour i'll the evening they may be
seen pushing their carts about the city,
haggling with customers, retailing their
misfortunes with one another, or having
a row with q policeman, who threatens
to take them in if they do not forthwith
evacuate q particular locality which is
highly desirable for their business, but
where they ore very much in the way.
The existence of class of small dealers
of this kind implies conflicting interests:
The shopkeepers object. They pay high
rents, and here arc dealers at thei1
doors who undersell them and
who pay no rent. On the
other hand, the merchants of the
four seasons are great accommodation
to small consumers, since they sell at
reasonable price and their goods are usu-
ally fresh, because they renew their stock
every morning. There are the interests
of the city to be considered, for the
streets are crowded at the very hours
when the business of the merchants OF the
four seasons is most prosperous, that is
Just before the breakfast time (noon) and
lust before the hour for dinner. Finally,
the sluggard who is constantly saying to
himself: "a little more slecp-a little
more slumber," objects to their cries in
his street during the forenoon. Still,
they continue to exist, though often
threatened with determination, and to re-
tain the privilege of certain streets at
certain hours, and even to station them
selves in a lonc line along the sidewalk III
certain quarters, like the market wagons
in an American city. What was origi-
nally granted to them as privilege they
begin to claim rs a right. They have g
corporation and lawyers to look after
their interests. They have their meetings

and their own orators, and though they
belong to the invalid corps, and the in
fluenza sadly decimated their ranks this
winter, they tight their battle manfully.
1t is hard life getting up at daylight in
the morning and pushing handcart
from morning to night in the muddy
streets in rain, sleet, wind and snow, and
it is only brave souls that can persevere
in it.
The cleansing Of the foul linen of
Paris is highly characteristic handl'
craft which gives employment to some
thousands of women, old and young.
The washing is usually done in the i'm
mense boats that one sees anchored to
both banks of the Seine from its en-
trance into Paris at Chrenton till it
quits its envirous at Asniercs. The boss
washerwomau has her place of business
in a small room on the ground floor in
no matter what street, where the clothing
is received to be sent to the washhouses
and where it is ironed and prepared to
be sent home. The ironer is q neatly
attired young woman, intelligent for her
station, ready with a repartee for the
young male patrons of the establishment
and highly skilled in knocking the but
tons off your linen, plunging the nose of
the fatiron into your shirt-fronts and
leaving abrasions in your collars and
cuffs. The ironer wields the heavy fat
iron from an early hour in the morning
till late hour at night during the week.
On Sunday afternoon she goes to the
suburbs with her young man-an article
she is pretty sure to have-perhaps to
St. Cloud or Suresnes, or even as far as
Bougivalr The damsel who collects the
linen and delivers it, carries her immense
burdens with exemplary patience. If the
laundry is in the suburbs the delivery is
effected by means of an old-fashioned
vehicle, driven by an elderly woman-
the business woman of the establishment
who makes this her only occupation.
Some bakers are born to wagons,
Others achieve them, etc. If they do
not have them in any of the specified
ways they have handcart which consists
of baske, set on low wheels, which
