Gipsies being wanderers on the face
Df the earth, they have no fatherland,
but If there is one country more than
another where they feel at home and
in which they have been fairly treated
on the whole, that country is Hun
gary. Two things have brought the
two folk together. The gipsies are
born musicians. and the Magyars are
horn dancers. For some reason or
other, the Magyar thinks fiddling is
beneath him. The gypsy is quite con-
tent that it should be so, for no in
strument. save the bagpipes, can sup
ply the wild dance music which the
Hungarian loves, so well as the violin
can. Gipsy bands are thus in great
demand in Hungarian towns, and
many of the players make a lot of
money. Let gypsy band but strike
up a gay tune, and in a few minutes
men and women will be seen dancing
like mad, some of them, during the
fury of the moment, lavishing money
upon the musicians. 1t is "the thing"
even for peasants to hire a gipsy
band for their private iunkettings and
1t is said that Hungarian mobiles have
ruined themselves largely because of
the sums of money they have spent
upon orchestras of gipsies.

Robins Whipped n Cat.

An interested spectator of this
robin nouse-moving was the tomcat.

good part of the afternoon watch

and small leaves into the tree-top.
Next morning the lessons in flying
began again, and it was while both
papa and mamma were away from
the nest with two of the children that
the cat climbed into the tree and took
away one of the remaining young
ones in its mouth. The elders were
attracted by the cries and flew to the
rescue, but they could do nothing.

Next morning, as usual, Mr.. Robin
was out bright and early, gathering
worms for the brood, while his mate
remained at home to care for the
children and keep lookout for the
cat. It was not long before warn
ing cry brought Mr.. Robin home in
hurry. The birds could see the
hungry cat approaching the tree.

Surnames of School Children in East

The author had found as result
of long and careful fact gathering in
his district of Scotland that surnames
and complexion go together to a re-
markable degree Among the most
frequent of the names in the territory
he had covered, Whyte, oddly enough,
was particularly dark in coloring. So
were the surnames of Cruikshank,
Stephen and Paterson. On the other
hand, Wallaces, Frasers, Grants and
Parks were blonde. Robertsons and
Gordons were dark. Persons named
Scott, Grant or Thompson were most
likely to be red headed, whereas men,
bers of the Johnston, Walker, Forbes,
Burnett and Watson families had the
least percentage of red in their color

1t was tken that the elders did q
brave thing. They bade the children
good-by and flew forth to meet the
devastator of nests. They did not
allow him to climb the tree, but
Waged an offensive warfare with
him.
They had 4 well-thought-out method
of attack. Mrs. Robin flew to the
ground, a few feet from the cat,
and to one side of him. and unsus-
pecting Tom darted at her; but just
as he was about to hit her with his
paw he received heavy rap in the
face from her mate. Enraged at this,
he made second lunge at the mother
bird and was again rebuked by her
mate, and with such vigor and we'll
directed blows that, uttering a cry
of pain, he made for the house, both
birds Joining in pursuit. He finally
escaped them by crawling under the
house, where he remained.
The robins were not bothered any
more by this cat. and. after rearing
their young, took up new abode in
the top of high fir tree, situated in
the neighboring block. No doubt the
cat has lost its appetite for young
robins. He nursed, for some time,
an injured eye and badly torn ear

Modern science reinforces the an
oient estimate of the superior sagacity
Of the ant. At the Geological Confer
ence last month at Berlin, Prof. Morel,
of Switzerland, who has made that
insect mis- study, reported that the ant s
brain is well developed. He said that
the ant has all of the five senses, with
the exception of hearing, and that he
possesses reasoning powers as well as
memory. There is one item to be
entered on the other side. The ant
is an indomitable fighter, and indi-
vidual ants are inclined to prolong
hostilities after a general war is over.

1t is we'll known that wasps do much
injury to fruit, and complaints have
been numerous this season from many
quarters in this country; but it appears
that the possible injury to fruit by
bees has been the subject of an ex-
haustive investigation by the Califor-
mia experiment stations. The conclu-
sions arrived at are that although the
mouth parts of bees are so constructed
that they might be used for both eat
Ing and injuring fruit, all the evidence
obtainable points to the fact that 1t
is very seldom that any injury is
done. In this country the bee has rare
ly been accused of doing any injury to
fruit, but in the fruit growing districts
premiums are offered for the destruc-
ton of wasps' nests.

The labor cost of scientific research

tomologist has just shown a series
OF about 30 pictures illustrating every
stage in the metamorphosis of a drag
on fly from the nymph to the perfect
insect, and relates that he took over
1000 photographs before getting his
complete set. Constant watching was
necessary, as after the first indication
of change the dragon fly might emerge
at any time within the next three days,
the emergence being so rapid that
three pictures were taken in six Sec
onds.

MINERS WILL HAVE OFFICE.
District 10 Votes to Establish Perma.
nent Headquarters.

Des Moines, March 6.-The United
Mine Workers of America, District 13,
will this year establish permanent
office and headquarters for their state
organization where the business mat
tsrs in connection with the organiza-
ton may be carried on and where
President John P. Reese and Secre-
tary John White can perform their
duties more satisfactorily. This was
decided at the meeting of the mine
workers yesterday The central office
will be built this spring and will prob
ably have it's location in either Abba
or Oskaloosa. That has not yet been
determined. The debate on the ques-
tion of establishing a state office was
the most pronounced, many of the
delegates announcing that their con-
stituents We're not in favor OF a state
Office building. However the question
carried by large majority. The rec
ommendation that the vice-president
be placed on salary was voted down
The convention also voted against an
appropriation to the Lost Creek min
ing fund inasmuch as the individual
subscriptions by the members Of the
organization covered all they We're
able to give. .4so,
The executive board of the Iowa
State Federation of Labor met with
the mine workers for the purpose of
considering reaffiliation with the
workers. The Federation was repre-
sented by Messrs. Stockman and
Strieff of Sioux City and Holder and
Hunnell of Des Moines. They were
very desirous for reaffiliation. The
miners recognized the value of being
associated with the Federation if they
can be taxed according to their repre-
sentation. They withdrew from the
Iowa federation year and half ago
because they could not afford to pay
the tax and not be more strongly rep
resented. The matter was taken un-
der advisement and if the Iowa State
Federation can regulate the matter of
taxes the mine workers will in all
probability reaffiliate with them.
