Peculiarly of the Gypsy Race Brought Out by a Noted Amer
 ican Author.

The late Charles Godfrey Leland, the weII-known author of the "Hans Brett mann" ballads, has d passion for study ing the race of Gipsies, and al the same time great human sympathy with them. The fact that he was the great est living authority on the Glpsy tongue and customs gave him little pleasure compared with the delight of being hailed as brother by Gipsy horsetraders at English fairs, and Gipsy musicians n Russia and Austria, says Youths Companion.
 One day, in Philadelphia, he met three dark men whom he knew to be of an ancient stock. He was quite sure that they could speak d language which contained roots of Sanskrit, Hindi and Persian. Yet they would make no dis play of it. They would, like all their race, deny all knowledge of it as well as the fact of their Gipsy blood.
 He addressed them in Italian, and they answered fluently. He changed to obscure tongues of the east, and again they replied.
 Have you got through all your lan- guages?" he inquired, at last.
 "Yes. signor, all of them"
 Isn't there one left behind. which you have forgotten? Think minute"
 "No, signor, none."
 .'What, not one?'
 "Signor, you have seen every egg in tie basket"
 Leland looked the man fxedly in the eye, and put a question in Romany. There was a startled glance from one to the other, and then a silence. He asked them again in Romany. Wont you talk with a Gipsy brother?"
 That opened the gates. They shook his hands in great emotion, and tried to tell him how happy they were in having met some one who knew them.

Doctors Are So Modest.

Agent Doctor can get your ad. for the Weekly Boomer?
 Doctor Certainly not, sir, Don't you know that II is impossible for physicians to advertise? But you may interview me on some scientific subject, two columns, payment in advance.-Stray Stories.
 One of the busiest lawyers in Zurich is Anna Mackenroth. young woman still in her twenties, who opened the legal profession to women in Switzer- land.
 Few members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are as energetic and faithful to the cause as Mrs. Florence C. Bethune, a society woman and wife of the well-known New York lawyer. Mrs. Bethune has within few months caused the arrest of eight men for cruelty to horses. and in each case appeared in court to tes- tify against the accused. After seeur- ing the convctior of a driver recently Mrs. BethIne announced that she will now direct her energies against mail delivery contractors for inhuman treatment of horses. In the last year Mrs. Bethpne has turned over 36 sick and homeless dogs to the society.

A Cure for Dropsy.

u Sedgwick, Ark, June 22d.-Mr. W. S. Taylor of this place says:
 My little boy had Dropsy. Two doc. tors-the best in this part of the country told me he would never get better, and to have seen him anyone else would have said they were right. His feet and limbs were swollen so that he could not walk nor put on his shoes.
 When the doctors told me he would surely die, stopped giving him their med leine and began giving him Dodds Kidney Pills. l gave him three pills day and at the end of eight days the swelling was all gone, but as l wanted to be sure, kept on with the pills for some time. gradually re- dueing the quantity, till finally l stopped altogether.
 ..Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my ehild's life. Before using them he was a helpless invalid in his mothers arms from. morning til night. Now he is healthy, happy child, running and dancing and singing. l can never express our gratitude.
 "Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured our boy after everybody, doctors and all, had given him up to die"
