= RoMAnY MONARCH.
crowning the King Of the Scottish
Gypsies.

Gypates.
With much quaint pomp and cerc-
mony. and ia the presence OF vast
coneourse Of spectators. a gypsy King
was crowned on Kirk Yetholm Green.
The chosen of the Romany tribe Is
named Charles Blythe Rutherford. He
has passed the age Of three score and
ten, and besides being crowned king.
his gypsy subjects also proclaimed him
Earl of Little Egypt.
! Prince Charlie, as he Is Familiarity
! termed, Is a fine specimen OF manhood.
1t is years since he gave up the rowing
habits OF his tribe and devoted himself
to the more prosaic occupation OF keep
Ing a lodging honse In the village OF
Kirk YethOlm. but his admirers proud
IL proclaim that he is descended from
royal gypsy houses of Faa, Blythe and
Rutherford.
Charles Blythe Rutherford's mother
was Queen Esther. the last gypsy SOY
erelgn crowned at YethOlm. Esther
does not appear to have been too heav-
| lily endowed with this worlds goods
seeing that she applied for parish re-
lief aud was refused on the ground that
she had visible means OF support as a
"mugger"-that Is TO say, she possessed
horse and cart TO convey her mugs to
the customers who patronized her. The
gypsy queen was offered admission to
the poorhouse, but refused, and lived
on until 1888 In her own palace
low, one-stOried. whltewashed cottage,
with an open hearth fire. the smoke
from which passed out through hole
In the roof. Quite recently Charles
himself removed into this palace the
lodging house not having proved a
lucrative investment.
The Archbishop Of Yetholm," who
placed the crown on the Romany mon
arehs brow, was Mr.. Gladstone, the
village blacksmith. whose father
crowned Prince Charles mother. and
whose family are said to possess the
hereditary privileges Of browning the
gypsy sovereigns. The crown itself
was made Of tin, adorned with tinsel
and surmounted with a thistle. and
the archbishop. In performing the cor
Onatlon ceremony, delivered a speech
In the Romany tongue. After Prince
Charlie had duly responded. process
sion was formed. In which mounted
men, brass band. q mace bearer and
herald preceded the royal carriage
drawn by six asses, and after the neigh
boring villages had been visited the
proceedings wound up with athletic
sports, public dinner and a dance.
1t Is, of course, In Its association with
the past that the interest of this novel
ceremony lies. The Faas, from whom
Prince Charlie Is descended, claimed
that their name was a contraction of
Pharaoh, and asserted that they were
connected by blood with the ancient
kings of Egypt. So far back as 1910
James V. of Scotland made treaty
with "Johonne Faw, Lord and Erie of
Little Egypt" acknowledging his king
ship and giving him the right to admin
lister law and infict punishment on his
fellow Egyptians. Not long afterward,
however, James changed his attitude
and issued an order commanding his
loyal subjects whenever they found
three gypsies together to slay two of
them without mercy.-London Daily

| find buckwheat one of the best
whole grain foods for hens. They
never become cloyed on it, and 1t is a
great egg-producing grain. In expert
ments made in feeding during the past
winter, where the evening feed had
been wholly of corn, found that the
substitution of buckwheat materially
increased the egg yield. Kaffir corn is
a grain that should receive more at
tention from poultrymen. While its
nutritive value is about the same as
that of Indian corn, it is relished much
better by fowls. and seems to produce
more eggs. Where one raises his own
grain, prefer to feed both buckwheat
and Kaffir corn, unthreshed, as work
ing il out of the straw gives the hens
exercise.-L. Il. Keyser in Reliable

MINIATURE BICYCLES.
Wonder Excited Among English Rus
tics by the First Road Skates.


Road-skating has been called the
missing link between cycling and walk
ing; 1t is really roller-skating out-of-
doors. A writer In the Standard tells
how he took an extended trip. meeting
with admiration and derlsion by the
way; how he fought against the wind,
ran into the roadside weeds and knelt
there. and on a favorable road covered
three miles in fourteen minutes. He
says that, In appearance, the new road
skates resemble nothing so much as
pair Of miniature bicycles.
The wheels are six inches In diameter,
and are attached to the boot. Jolnted
leg-spllnts extend from the skate to
the knee, relieving the ankle of an un-
bearable strain, and an automa tic
brake, acting upon the front wheel,
instantly cOrrects any back ward run,
and so removes the greatest difficulty
in hill-climbing. The skates weigh
from six to eight pounds a pair.
The amazement Of natives, when this
mode OF locomotlon dawned upon them,
Is well expressed In the queries of an
old man who, with ian apparently hyp-
Noticed donkey" seemed TO be the only
inhabitant of a certain hamlet upon the
