Their Tribes Existed In Europe

Gypsies were found in England about
1914. according to "A DIALOGUE Of Sir
Thomas More" Q52o). but the exact
year OF their arrival is unknown. They
were present in Scotland in 1905. and
possibly they were the "Saracens"
whose depredatlons in that country
prior to 1460 are on record.
Bataillari and other authors believe
that sypsies existed in Europe from
immemorial times. for they find no ac-
count Of their crossing the Bosporus.
and no record is known 10 exist of their
passage to England or Scotland.
They were better received in these
countries than in any other. but so
early as 1881 an act was passed re-
quiring the Egyptians TO quit the
realm under pain Of death. a similar
edict being issued in Scotland in 154l
and at varying periods in most Of the
European states.
Transportation across the sens wa,

CULPRITS LASHED
ON BARE BACKS
Freezing Weather Causes
Men to Suffer Greatly at
Whipping Post
PILIORY IN THE ENGINE ROOM

With the thermometer registering about
ten degrees and an icy blast blowing
across the quadrangle of the New Castle
County Workhouse Warden Mesorvo ap-
piled the lash to the bare backs of five
cringing -law-breakers this morning.
On account OF the extreme cold weather
the stocks We're removed from the prison
yard and temporarily placed in the engine
room Of the workhouse, where Jahes
Fondville and Thomas Holly stood from
1920 TO ll.go o'clock.
Immediately afterward the whipping
took pace in the quadrangle. 1t was in
tensely colo. The oulprits We're wrapped
in blankets until all was ready for the
iashcs to be applied.
The first man to be brought out was
Samuel Bird. He took his ten iashes wiki
out a murmur
William Smith was next. lie stood stoi-
idly at the post until the ninth lash, when
he cringod and quivered. He uttered no
outcry.
Next came William Brown. He IS a
burly negro and around his neck he wore
a charm string. In his left cheek was a
quid Of tobassol He received twenty
lashes without a murmur.
Thomas Holly took his lashes harder
than any man at the post. After the first
two or three he began a war dance around
the post and from then until the last Of
the twenty had been administered he NUT
tered and prayed.
The last man was James Fondville. Hc
received twenty lashes. The blows were
delivered fast and aside from squirming
beneath their singing weight the mar
took them impassively.
/ William Brown will receive ten NOR,
llashes on next Saturday. He was convict.

A Successful Nurse Must BE Gentle,

A Successful Nurse Must BE Gentle,
Patient and Tnctful.
The proper mental atmosphere Great
ell in a sickrcom Is often as important
as the remedies given. A nurse should
be In touch with her patient that is.
She should be sympathetic and not al.
low irgitability and whims 70 upset her
cquanimity. The nurse who can create
IN atmosphere Of rcpose. who eau hu.
NOR without indulging her patient In
all the idiosyncrasies OF sick people,
has won half the battle. An unsympa-
;hetlc. impatient nurse will do more to
hinder recovery than the lack Of rem
odies. II is not acts and words alone
that help or hinder; her very thoughts
are as potent as her general conduct.
and the sensitive patient will be infu-
cnccd for good OF IN If the nurse were
dumb. She should at all times main
tain a positive uplifting mental atti-
,ude and remember that the patients
irritabllity or mclancholia Is Justified
by her physical condition and is not
perversenoss.
Genteness. patience and. above all.
tact are the requisites for good and in
ielligent nursing. and the nurse who
lacks these qualities has indeed missed
her calling. Patients have often failed
10 improve simply because they did not
fancy their nurse. A nurse must be
llsable and make herself liked. and it
takes only plain tact and a little cir
cumspection TO ingratiate herself with
the most uninteresting Of patients.

Singing mice are rare, but corrc-

He adds. ut has been warbling just

workshop. and although ] have it in a

That mice do occasionally "sing" is
undeniable. Some observers say that
their song" is softer. sweeter and
more delicate than that Of the canary.
which one can believe quite easily
Others 20 so far as to compare it 70
that of a warbler OF even a piping bull
finch. But the question as to why they
lift up their voices 10 this tuneful man
ner still remains to be answered.
Three explanations have been sug-
gested:
First-That all mice are potential vo-
calists and can learn TO sing. by imita-
ton. from singing birds.
Second.-That many mice possess an
exceptional talent for mimicry, together
with. a keen sense of the ludicrous.
Third.-Ihat some mice are subject
to BRONCHITIS. and that the so called
song" is only the wheeling OF rodents
which suffer from the distressing COM
plaint.

NO HOMES FOR
THE MINISTERS
Dover People Slow in Pro-
viding Entertainment tor
Conference Visitors
ACADEMY ASKED TO ASSIST
institution Requested to Entertain
Seventy five Of the Conference visi-
tors Much to the Surprise Of the
Officials.

Some surprise has been expressed by a
number OF ministers and iaymen Of the
Wilmington Methodist Conference, at
what seems 10 be the failure Of the
Dover people to provide sufficient enter
tainmcnt for the conference visitors
II has been stated that the Conference
Academy has bcen asked 10 entertain
soveniy-fivc of these visitors. which is
thought to be laying an unjust burden
upon the academy, in view of its needs
Some think that the Wesley csurch
people have not been sufficiently energetic
in their plans TO entertain. IT. has been
further stated after the academy provides
for seventy-nvc, there are stnl nfty to be
provided for.
When the conference met In Dover eight
years ago, tho officials volunteered TO
entertain twenty conference visitors,
which was about as much as they felt
able to do.
There usually are about 800 conference
visitors to be entertained. but this year
there will be approximately about 900 be-
cause Of the session OF the lay conference.
This lay conference will meet on Friday
and win be received by the ministerial
body on Saturday morning Delegates to
the General Conference will be elected and
resolutions OF loyalty and others OF To-
cal interest will be passed.
Naturally. the ministers are somewhat
exercised over the apparent neglect of tho
Dover people to provide entertainment for
them. 1t is understood that there is a
dearth of household help at the State
eapitai' which may be partly responsible
for this state OF affairs.
