"The one who got thrashed?''
"Of course not. But the one who
got thrashed is your Professor Mes.

81 see! The poor old professor! And
he has remained a bachelor all his life"
Mamma has often told me the story,
and that the Trednoke boy went to
West Point, and distinguished himself
In the Mexican war, and married q
Mexican woman, and the Meschines
boy became professor in Yale college.
And now l am going to see one of them,
and you to see the other Isn't that a
coincidence?''

Don't You think you're rather ex-

However, the apo logy was finally re-
peated. and continued, more or less
during the rest of the voyage; and
Grace quite forgot that she had never
made Harvey tell what was really the
cause of his coming to California But
she, on her side, had a secret She
never allowed him to suspect that tn.

cYrs,Es I'm EUROPE.
Race Is Increasing. Not Disappearing.
Nor Are All Wanderers.


Nor Are All Wanderers.
From the New York Sun: 1t has
been commonly supposed that the gyp-
sizes OF Europe, like the Indians OF
North America, were becoming an ex-
t1nct race, and the conditions of their
existence are not such as would seem
to insure longevity. But a recently
published official report of the English
government shows that the number of
gypsies in England, so far from de-
Ginning, is actually on the increase,
and the same is true of some other
European countries from which figures
are at hand. By an authentic COM
putation made recently theIa are S5,-
OOO gyp2-as 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 near
~ 10000 gypsies, the figures being:
Great Britain, $4,000; Spain, 10000;
Russia, $4,000; Germany, $4,000, and
Austria, Turkey and the Balkan coun-
tries, 100000 each. Gypsies, who are
known as zingari in Italy, gitanos in
Spain, ziguener in Germany, cziganyok
In Hungary, tzigani in Slavic countries,
tchlnganch in Turkey and bohemians
In france, are considered to be of Ash
attic origin. though the name "gyp-
Sizes is generally acknowledged to be
q corruption of the word Egyptians,
and in Scotland a gypsy is called an
. EpVnfic1 Df ho 10 Min
. lister" are aware. In the United States
there are few gypsies, for the reason,
perhaps, that they meet with great
competition in the pursuits which in
European countries furnish them their
chief revenUe-fortune telling, divina-
ton and soOthsaying. In Europe,
though 1t is popularity supposed that
they are mere wanderers. the pariahs
of civilization, driven from place to
place as popular sentiment or resent
ment may dictate, the fact is that many
of the gypsies are permanently located
in towns Of their own, maintaining
stable administration and prospecting
to considerable extent. This is es
pecially true in the districts on or near
the lower Danube, and the gypsy popu-
lation of Pennsylvania, in Hungary, is
not only large, bit also quite indUen-
tial. hungarian gypsies have long
} been known everywhere on account Oh
their appreciation of music and gypsy
bands have visited The United States
from time to time and with usually
good success. The aptitude of gypsies
in acquiring knowledge Of music has
always been marked, and Franz List
has borne testimony of this quality by
saying: Indifferent to the minute and
complicated passions by which educat-
ed mankind Is swayed, callous to the
painting, gasping effects of such micro
scopic and supercultured vices as van
ity, ambition, intrigue and avarice, the
gypsy only comprehends the simplest
requirements of primitive nature.
Music, dancing, drinking and love, di-
versified by childish and humorous
delight in petty thieving and cheating,
constitute his whole repertoire of pas
sions, beyond whose limited horizon
he does not care to look" The gypsies
of England are found chiefly in the
northern counties.

Racial types seem to be failure;
when they become very marked, the
race deteriorates or vanishes. In the
counties of England, after only thou
sand years, the women you meet In the
rural districts and country towns all
look like sisters. The Asiatics of
course, arc much more sunk in
type than the Anglo-Saxons;
and they show us the way
we would be going. Only, there is
hope In rapid transit and the cosmo-
politan spirit, and especially in these
United Stat which bring together
the ends of the earth, and place side by
side descendant of the Puritans like
Freeman, and "a daughter of Irak-
Ajerni.
What are you coming to California
for, Mr.. Freeman"
Freeman had already told her what
he had been in the isthmus for,-tO
paddle in miasmatic swamps with
view to the possibility of canal in the
remote, speculative future. He had
given her Il graphic and entertaining
picture of the hideous and inconceiva-
bic life he had led there for six months,
from which he had emerged tho
only member of a party of nine
teen whites, blacks and yell
lows who was not either
dead by disease, by violence, or by mis-
adventure, or had barely escaped with
life and shattered constitution.
Freeman, after emerging from the
miasmatic hell and lake of Gehenna,
had taken n succession of baths, with
soap and friction, had been attended
by barber and a tailor, and had him
self attended the best table TO be found
for love or money in the charming town

reached that discussion yet But, in
all that ne did say, Freeman exhibited
perfect unreserve and frankness, an.
swcring without hesitation Or embar-
rassment any question she chose to ask
(and She asked some curious ones).
But when she asked him such an in
nocent thing as what he waJ after in
California-an inquiry, by the way, put
more in idlenesS than out of curiosity
Freeman stroked his yellow mustache
with the thumb of the hand that held
his Cuban cigarette, gazcd with mar
rowcd eyelids at the horizon, and for
some time made no reply at all. Finally
he said that California was place he
had never visited, and that it would be
pity TO have been 30 near it and yet
not have improved the opportunity of
taking look at it.
Grace instantly scented mystery,
and was not less promptly resolved to
fathom 1t. And what must be the ma
ture of mystery attaching to a hand

no stranger to the gentlcr sex? OF
course there must be n woman in it'll

8 :ho House Insurance.

The following are few facts AID
figures concerning the insuring OF
school houses in Kansas;
School house N =. Al, Marion Co.
WAS insured ia the Homo of N. Y.
for 5 years, from Aug. 6, 1896, Com
hiaed In usnce $3.50. Premium paid
$500. Ii it Lad been insured in the

cost but S2S13.

been insured in the Co-Operati,e
School house No. log Mcpherson
Go. was insured In German of Free
port for 5 years, from Nov. 10, 1895,
combined insurance for 500. Pre-
MUM paid was $500. Ii insured in
the CJ Operative it would have cost
but SIPS and perhaps less.
School house No, CO, Osborne Co.
insued in Home of n. Y. for S years
from March Is, 1895, combiaei in
surancs for s3l.50. If insured in the
Cooperative premium would have
been s26.25 another s. % that shouli
have been left in the treasury of the
school board.
School house No. IL, Mcpherson
20. was INSURED in the Continental
Tor flvs years from Nov. 10, 1897,
for 800. The premium paid was
$500. The Co op7raiiv. would
have written it for s26 25 and there
10y left at least 1915 mere in the
treasury of No. II.
School district No. 81, Rice Co in
tured in the State ms. Co., of Des
MONIES, La. for five years from Mar.
Fl, 1895 for S475. Premium paid
was $21.35. The Cooperative would
have insured it for Sl7.S2 and per-
haps less, with no interest.
We have not examined any pc icies
covering churches, but would no
doubt find the same difference in
favor of The contribution box if in
sured in tho Cooperative.

then pay teachers better wages aud
thereby secure more effi.ient help in
the school room, besides keeping ths
money in Kansas.
The following letter from State
Supt. VIM. Stryk er will help verify
the above statements and clearly
shows that school boards pay too
for insurar ce.

Benz. Evans. McPhersoD, KS,
Dear Sir:-The lates: report of thi.
department shows 9, AIS school houses
in Kansas. Sometime since I gather.
ed statistics which show that for every
dollar received in the way of insur-
ance on school houses, at leis. fpac
dollars was paid TO the insurance con-.
panies. Most school houses are insur
ed. There is no way of determining
the exact number there are. The
amount of money that has been paid
on losses on school houses is surpris-
ingly small.
