oeylon Newspaper Gets Up a Report
About the Japs That Is
a Corker.

A Singhalese newspaper pub
lished In Colombo, Ceylon, is tired
of the paucity of news about the
war, and in order to regale it's
readers, says the New York Com
mercial, it now and then manufac-
lures some, of which the following
is a sample-a translation by the
CeylOn Times:
'"The sultan was communicated
with regarding an approaching
conflict, and, being a great friend
of the japanese monarch, he sent
a specially trained company of
swordsmen, each of whom with a
sword in his hand is shot away
from the mouth Of a gun at the en-
envy just as ordinary shrapnel
would be. On arrival among the
enemy he makes short work of
them by his sword play. These
swOrdsmen are now fighting for
Japan and gaining victories"

AUTOMOBILES AND CLASSES
Enmity Of the Stun People for Those
Who Ride in Horseless
Carriages.

We had supposed that the hos.
tility 20 automobiles signifled
nothing more than the hOodlum
ism of uneasy boys who have no
Fairgrounds, and who throw
stones and bottles because they
want some outlet for their energy,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. A
boy was arrested in New York
some time ago for breaking the
pictured windows of a church.
When asked why he did it he an,
swered: "What else is there to
do?" A chance to play tag and
ball in a playground would cure
him of the window smashing hab.
1t, as it would cure his fellows of
the habit of throwing missiles at
automobiles. But we are assured
by the observant that the enmity
of the slum populace for people
who ride in horseless carriages is
founded on something deeper
than superfuous vitality. 1t is a
hate of the rich which is encour.
aged by the yellow papers, that
are owned by the rich, but edited
for circulation among the poor,
whose pennies make the rich
richer. That there is a class
rather than a personal feeling in
this hostility is betokened by the
frequency of the assaults. One
man reports that in a single ride
Of a few miles he was attacked no
less than % times. When a WON
an was nearly killed by a boy in
the Italian quarter a few days ago
the act was seen by hundreds OF
Italians, yet not one of them
raised a hand to protect the WON
an or to stop the boy when he ran
away. He is known to them, yet
they will not reveal his place Of
hiding, nor help in his capture. A
community that is so manifestly
hostile to American ways is a com
munitv to watch.

FARE OF RUSSIAN POOR.
Peasants Have Table Luxuries Much
in Demand Among Western
World Epieures.

The Russian peasant, even if the
bread he eats is black, has a lux
ury to add to his meal much sought
by epicures in the western world
the wild mushroom, which grows
thousands upon thousands on the
steppes of Russia. At any time a
full and savory meal is provided
with the addition of sausage and
onions; even a mushroom alone
often contents them for a meal
with their coarse rye bread.
The poorest labOrer has also a
luxury drink always available
from the eyer-present samOvar,
and the tea they drink would be
the envy of the American con.
nOisseur Of that beverage, for the
best of China's tea is found in
Russia and all classes enjoy it's
quality and fragrance. Never is
the water allowed to stand on the
tea over a few moments, so none
Of the poisonous tannin is extract
ed, and a delightful, mildly slim
ulating, straw-cOlOred drink is the
result.
1t would be well if the Russian
peasant would content himself
with this, for his only vice is
drunkenness.

FIRST OF TIE oYPsIEs.
Were Mistaken for Egyptians When
They Appeared in England in
Sixteenth Century.

The word gypsy, of curious and
interesting origin, is at once illus.
trative of the tenacity of a cOrrup
ton and suggestive that the pro.
pensity of children for acquiring
bad language is a racial trait. The
gypsies on their first appearance
in England about the beginning of
hesixteenth century were mistak.

men of education, but the common
people, finding some difficulty in
mastering the name, rendered il
"gypsies," and so the wandering
people have ever since been called,
says the New York Times.
During the reign of Henry VIII,
in 1881, a statute was enacted ex-
polling the gypsies from the coun-
try under. penalty of imprison-
ment and forfeiture of property.
According to the Grey Friars'
Chronicle, the statute recited
that "many outlandish people,
calling themselves Egyptians, us
ing no craft nor faict (practice) of
merchandise, have come into this
realm and gone from shire to shire
and place to place in great com
pany, and used great subtle and
crafty means to deceive the peo-
pie; bearing them in hand that
they by palmistry could tell mems
and wOmen's fortunes, and so,
many times by craft and subtlety,
have deceived the people of their
money, and also have committed
many and heinOus felonies and
robberies.' Six years later Crom.

the marches OF Wales, accuses
"the "gipcians," as he calls them,
of "falsehoods, felonies, and trea.

The gypsies had spread over the
continent of Europe several cen.
turtles before their appearance in
England, and an Austrian monk.

ESCAPED BAD FIRE.
Wrishfs Health underwear Mill at Pownal
Threatened.

Pownal, June 23:-The Wrights
Health Underwear Co.'S mill had an
narrow escape from being burned
Wednesday afternoon.
Some careless person had brought
some swapping matches into the mill
which were dropped on the floor in the
carding room. One of the employees
stepped on the match which ignited
and set fire to the wool and cotton
near it. One of the cards instantly
became a mass of flames and other
conbustible material took fire, the fire
taking its course down the elevator
shaft.
The employees of the mill had their
bucket brigade going in a short
period of time and the fire was soon
under control. The carding room
where the accident occurred is the
worst possible place for a fire to
occur as there is plenty of loose cotton
flying around, The loss is fully cover
ed by insurance.
