Late Suppers.

The old notion to which hygienists
and many other people have chung so
tenaciously for years, that late sup
pers are harmful has received a rather
violent upset by means OF an article
published in a foreign paper, and very
much quoted throughout the extent of
civilized newspaperdom. The writer
says that there are very many per-
sons who are thin and weak, languid
and sometimes dull who are thus be-
cause they do not eat at night when
they very much desire 1t. 1t Is phys
biological fact that no matter what we
are about or what state we may be in,
there is a continual consumption of
vitality and waste Of tissues going
on in the body. One eats an ordinary
supper or dinner at the usual hour.
From one and a half to three hours
may be consumed in digesting it, then
nature cries for more material to
work on. II baby does not get its
regular rations at night il cries Justify,

its clamor. Sometimes animals will

they are fed. Nervous horses will paw

feel the cravings Of hunger. 1t must
be taken into consideration that the
quantity of food consumed is not above
the normal. II one eats very heartily
at dinner, consuming a large amount
Of food that digests slowly, the SEN
sation of hunger may be a morbid
craving or a form Of indigestion. But
light eaters owe 1t to themselves to
satisfy the demands of their appetites
completely before retiring. Simple
food may be taken, but this is not al

simple food? is a very broad one. The
actual definition of the term SIMPLE

at variance with popular theories on

According to New York newspaper
correspondents, Nicola Tesla is on the
eve OF new achievement. He has
learned a new use for his oscillator,
that marvellous electrical instrument
with which Mr.. Tesla was able to
transmit messages without wire or 9TH
er artificial conductors, years before
the same result was achieved by 9TH
ers. He has now discovered that II Is
just as easy to blow up an enemy's ves-
sci by means Of the oscillator as II is
to send message by telephone from
one end OF the city to the other. The
question of distance between the enc
my's ship and the oscillator does not
enter into consideration at ALL The
same force that can convey a message
that distance will be able, Mr.. Tesla
thinks, to blow up the biggest battle
ship that has ever been affloat at an
equal distance.

The vicissitndes OF artistic life are
given a vivid and pathetic illustration
in the impending separation of
the stage careers of Sir Henry
Irving and Miss Ellen Terry.
These two artists have been so long as
ISOLATED in modern stage productions
that the theater-going public of two
continents has come TO consider the
successes Of one the success OF both.
We now hear disquieting rumors OF the
detection OF Irving's public from the
former master and idol and in his loos-
ening grip there arises the opportunity
for successful rival to WOO the gifted
Terry from her allegiance Of life
time. With the parting of Irving and
Terry we Will receive fresh demon
stration Of the fickleness of Dame For
tunes favors. Not even the heights of
Parnassus are secure from the corrod-
tng touch Of waning popularity.

A street railway company in Cincin-
natl forbids any employe going on duty
within twenty-four hours after eattHg
onions IN any form. This is cour-
tesy to the travelling public that ought
to have been adopted long ago. When
one thinks of it the wonder grows that
there should have been this long de-
lay. Some day, bearing in mind, for
instance, the ordinance forbidding spit
ting in public conveyances, We may be-
come half-civilized and somewhat hap

. A North Carolina hilltop on which
a fine house had been built, proved to
have such an attraction for lightning
that the owner, in fear for his life,
moved out at last and let the place
go to ruin. A Pittsburg man read the
newspaper stories Of the lightning
haunted" hill, meditated a while. An
ally bought the place for little or moth
Ing, and In less than six weeks located
an almost inexhaustible iron mine.
For twelve years it has annually yield
ed iron enough to pay for the whole

chaser probably considers only a rea-
sonable reward for the exercise of the

oYPSIES In EUROPE.
They Arc Increasing and Many Are
Permanently Located.

Permanently Located.
New York Sun: 1t has been popular
ly supposed that the gypsies of Europe,
like the Indians of North America,
were becoming an extinct race, and the
conditions of their existence are not
such as would seem to assure longevity.
But a recently published official re-
port of the English government shows
that the number of gypsies in England,
so far from declining, is actually on the
increase, and the same is true of some
other European countries from which
figures are at hand.
BY an authentic computation made
recently, there are $4,000 gypsies in
Great Britain, 1000 more than at the
time of the last previous enumeration.
though, perhaps, that may have been
somewhat imperfect. There are in the
whole of Europe nearly 100000 gypsies,
the figures being: Great Britain, $4,000;
Spain, 10000; Russia, % 900; Germany,
$4,000; and Austria, Turkey and the
Balkan countries, 100000 each. Gyp-
sizes, who are known as Zingari in It
ally, Gitanos in Spain, Ziguener in
Germany, Cziganyok In Hungary,
Tzgani in Slavic countries, Tchinganch
in Turkey, and Bohemians in France,
are considered to be of Asiatic origin,
though the name "gypsies" is general
ly acknowledged to be a corruption of
the word Egyptian, and in Scotland a
gypsy is called an Egyptian, as readers
of the Little Minister" are aware. In
the United States there are few gyp-
sizes, for the reason, perhaps, that they
meet with great competition in the
pursuits which the European countries
furnish them with their chief revenue,
fortune telling, divination and sooth-
saying. In Europe, though 1t is pop
ularly supposed that they are mere
wanderers, the Pariahs of civilization,
driven from place to place, as popular
sentiment may dictate, the fact is that
many of the gypsies are permanently
located in towns of their own, main
tanning stable administration and
prospecting to a considerable extent.
This is especially true in the districts
Of or near the lower Danube, and the
gypsy population of Pennsylvania. in
Hungary, is not only large, but quite
influential. Hungarian gypsies have
long been known everywhere on ac-
count OF their appreciation of music,
and gypsy bands have visited the Unit
ed States from time to time and with
equally good success. The aptitude OF
gypsies in acquiring a knowledge OF
music has already been marked. and
Franz List has borne testimony to
this quality by saying Indifferent
to the minute and complicated pas
sions by which mankind is swayed,
callous to the painting. grasping eff
fects of such microscopic and super
cultured vices as vanity, ambition, in
trigue and avarice, the gypsy only
comprehends the simplest requirements
of a primitive nature. Music, dancing.
drinking and love, diversified by
childish and humorous delight in petty
thieving and cheating, constitute his
whole repertoire of passions, beyond
whose limited horizon he does not
care to look" The gypsies of Eng
land are found chiefly in the northern
countries

The steady fall in the price of Span
fish bonds threatens destruction OF the
last fiscal resource of that government
In three months these bonds have de-
clined from 62ts to 81, and now are
quoted at the lowest price on record.

called seriously into question and the
government was no longer able to float
foreign loans 1t resorted to the Bank

An interesting investigation has
been made recently in one of our cities
as to the reasons why children Of
equally good capacity should rank SO
unevenly in their studies in the
schools. Pains were taken to learn
from one class OF fifty-fve pupils
enough about their habits out OF school,
to enable judgments to be made. The
Investigation showed that thirteen
boys were permitted to be ON the
streets at night as late as half-psst
nine O'clock. Not one OF them ranked
as high as thirtieth In the class. An
other grade class of fifty-fve was tried
IN the same manner; eight boys were
habitually on the streets in the even
ings. Not one of them ranked as
high as fortieth in the class. Another
class of thirty-fve investigated show
ed that six were allowed the freedom
of the streets at night, and every one
of them had spent two or three years
passing the fourth and fifth grades.
One boy OF fifteen years OF age had
spent nine years In getting four and
half years of schooling. Investigation
also showed that in these classes ex-
amined, eighty-five per cent of the
girls remain at home and read good
books, and about one-third only Of the
boys ever read at all.

Our slightly battered friend, the Hon.
valeriano Weyler, rises to announce
that Spain must take an Offensive
course and invade the United States or
all is lost. The mere suggestion OF
Spanish army of invasion, with Wey-
Ter at the head, is enough to give Bos-
ton fresh spasm of apprehension. But
the rest of the nation will probably
emulate the Spanish ministry, which
we are hourly told remains calm in the
face OF an acute crisis. Weyler is a
