and standing among them examining the
teeth OF one, or feeling the limbs of an
other, was the proprietor of the livery sta.
BILE in the adjacent town. Intent upon
making trade with him, one Of the 1.-the
Gipsv men accompanied him among the
horses, expiating on their good points.
At the other extreme of the camp a de-
crepit hag was gathering out of the wagons
her basket wares and strapping them to
her back preparatory to business trip
through the village These wagons inter-
ested me. They were of a different type
from those once used by this peculiar vaga-
bond people. In form they resembled the
ordinary covered delivery wagon of the
city store. The wagonbed did not extend
out over the wheels, no grotesque little
Etovepipes pierced their roofs; to the end
gates there no longer hung the wooden
barred chickencoop.
THEY CLING TO THEIR BIRDS
The only novel feature about the two
wagons then lying unhitched in the camp
were the bird cages underneath them, sus-
pended from the axles, the festhery occu-
pants chirping as gaily as though they were
hopping about on the grass SO close to their
cages.
This severe modern build Of the vehicles
Is disappointing upon entering Gipsy
camp 1t gives the place a purely COM
mercisl aspect, and robs it Of the romantic
impressions most everyone entertains of the
nomadic life of the Bohemians. The Gipsy
van which was familiar only q few years
ago resembled a dwelling house on wheels.
II was built SO as TO give the broadest pos
sible space above the running gear for Sleep
ing and eating purposes. Inside, it was
fitted with stove and cooking utensils. In
some instances they were provided with
windows, glass and all, and 1 remember
when boy, to have seen some with cheap
lace curtains over these windows. They
were great, numbering affairs. Their bulky
inside, were perhaps the biggest curiosity of
their camp.

NEGLECT OF COUNTRY ROADS.

"Roads were better kept up in the olden
time, guess, was the reply "At least
that is what my father used to tell me- He
died only few years ago and he was a
very old man-had travelled from the Allie
ghenies to the Rocky Mountains in his
wagons He was queer sort of a man for a
Gipsv. for he kept strict accounts of all his
money, l mean what he received and what
he spent. He would often show me what he
used to spend for wagon repairing, and I
could see for myself that it cost more these
DAYS to keep our caravans up.
''Now, that is all on account of the roads
getting into neglected condition." he con-
tinued. "Along about 1850 it cost my
father something like SO year to keep all
four of his large wagons In repair. Travel
ing the same routes now that he travelled
then, it costs me S15 a year to keep just one
large wagon, which 1 still have, in repair.
Father says that your roads in Pennsylva-
mia here were once among the very best he
drove over. He said the reason for that
was plenty Of work being put upon them.
In those days the stage coaches were run
ming, and the freight wagons, too, so you
see they had to keep up the roads My

all the freight and passengers now, and the
only people who use the roads-farmers and
poor Glpsies-are forgotten.

ALDERMEN as a BOARD of directors.

1t would clear away much misconcep-
ton if the popular body in cities, instead
of being spoken of and thought of as a
local legislature, could be looked upon
and considered as board of directors
Oneof the most important grants where
in the powers of such body in cities
seem to pass beyond the functions of a
board of directors is the right to adopt
ordinances which are enforced by the
police; but even as to this power it is to
be borne in mind that city ordinances
have no original authority. They are
constantly declared invalid by the courts
because they contravene statutes of the
legislature or deal with matters not COW
cred by the grant of power to the city
corporation. The differences to be drawn
from this discussion are two. First,
that the whole question as to what
ought to be the business of the city and
as to the best method of conducting this
business is fairly open to discussion; sec
ond, that the question is one involving
good judgment only. 1t does not in
volve the liberties of the people or touch
any of the inherent rights of citizenship

The elephant has an excellent memory.
1t recollects friends well and it rarely
forgets an injury. 1t is recorded of one
that it smashed a cocoanut upon its
drivers head and smashed the mans
head at the same time, because the lazy,
thoughtless fellow had broken a cocoanut
on it's skull the day before. A quarter
master engaged in experimenting the
removal of baggage in the camp by
means of an elephant, became angry at
the creatures refusing to carry more
than a certain weight and foolishly flung
tent peg at its head. Some days after
ward the elephant overlook the quarter
master as he was going through the
camp, seized him with its trunk and
neatly placed him among the branches
of tamarind tree, leaving him to reach
the ground again in the best way he
could.-New York Advertiser.
