THE GYPSlES.

Their Tribes Existed In Burope
From mmcmorin1 Times.
Gypsies were found In England about
1914, according to "A Dialogue OF Sir
Thomas More" Q52W, but the exact
year of their arrival Is unknown. They
were present in Scotland In 1905, and
possibly they were the "Saracens'
whose depredations In that country
prior to 14G0 are on record.
Bataillard and other authors believe
that gypsies existed In Europe from
immemorial times. for they find no ac-
count OF their crossing the Bosporus,
and no record is known to exist or their
passnge to England or Scotland.
They were better received In these
countries than In any other, but 80
early ms 1881 an net was passed re-
qulrlng the Egyptians to quit tho
realm under pain OF death, similar
edlct being issued In Scotland In 154l
and nt varying periods in most OF the
European states.
Transportation across the seas was
among the mildor means adopted and
probably was the cause OF much fur
ther dispersion Of the tribes. Under
Henry VIII. gypslcs were shipped from
England TO Norway or France, and
from France. 80 recently as 1902. they
were deported 10 Africa.

A Successful Nurse Must De Gentle,
Patient ana Tactfu1.
The proper mental atmosphere Great
ed in sickroom Is often as important
as the remedies given. A nurse should
be In touch with her patlent-that is,
she should be sympathetic and not al
low irrltability and whims to upset her
cquanimity. The nurse who can create
an atmosphere OF repose, who can hui
NOR without indulging her patient In
all the idiosyncrasles of sick people,
has won half the battle. An unsympa-
thetic, impatient nurse will do more to
hinder recovery than the lack OF rem
edies. IL Is not acts and words alone
that help or hinder; her very thoughts
are MS potent as her general conduct.
and the sensitive patient Will be infiu-
enccd for good or III IL the nurse were
dumb. She should Mt all times main
tain positive uplifting mental atti-
tude and remember that the patients
irrItability or mclancholia is justified
by her physical condition and In not
perversencss.
Gentlcnoss, patience and, above oil,
tact are the requisites for good and In
telllgcnt nursing, and the nurse who
lacks these qualities has indeed missed
her calling. Patients have often failed
TO improve simply because they did not
fancy their nurse. A nurse must be
lilnble and make herself liked. and 1t
takes only plain tact and n little cir
cumspcction to ingratiate herself with
the most uninteresting OF patients.

rule, "Prune when the knife is sharp"
When we come to form there Is more
of certainty. Commercial apple and
pear orchards, for instance, are now
adays headed much lower than used to
be the case, three feet being very
common height for starting the head.
In localities where windstorms are fire.
quent the low headed trees are less
likely to be broken, they lose a smaller
portion of their fruit and are less sub
ject to sun scald, because the low head
shades the body Of the tree somewhat.
The cost Of harvesting the fruit is less
than that of gathering from tall trees,
as with low headed trees much OF the
crop can be gathered by the picker
standing on the ground, while with
high headed trees the major part OF
the work must be done from ladders,
which extends the time required to do
the picking and consequently increases
its cost.
Professor L. G. Corbett, whose horti-
cultural experience has been extensive
and varied, recently outlined plan of
ance with the latest successful practice
and scientific theory. The diagrams IL
lustrate its principal features so plain
ly as to need little comment However,
the arrangement of the branches may
be noted.
First, the branches OF the whole
should be disposed at equal distances
around the main stem or axis of the
plant, and, second. they should be at
some distance from one another up
and down along the central axis Of the
tree-that is. not In the same plane. but
from four to eight inches distance
apart. (See the first cut) With such an
arrangement of branches the tree when
old is less liable to injury from heavy
SHOWS or severe winds.
Professor Corbett emphasizes tho de-
STABILITY OF having the main structur-
al branches of tree composed Of from
three to five limbs of about equal size
rather than Of two limbs. A tree which
divides into two limbs which again
subdivide to form the main head Is
much more likely to split than tree
with several limbs disposed at differ
ent heights upon the main axis
In order to preserve n symmetrical
form and to prevent the fruit being
borne at the extremity Of long. slender
branches on apple and pear trees the
main body branches left at planting
time should not be more than eight
