Ten strokes followed. 1t lacked ten

How all this has been accomplished
is the marvel of the beholder. It starts
many questions concerning animal in
telligence and the psychology of animals
and affords much material for students
of animal life. The director of the Ber-
lin geological garden has witnessed the
recitation of Hans, and was SO strong
ly impressed that he wrote an elaborate
article for the Berlin press on the SUBJ
ject. Herr Won Osten, the owner of this
remarkable horse, holds that it is pos
sible to educate horse to read the
signs on the street. He proposes to ex-
ercise all his pedagogical skill in the
further training of his interesting pupil.
and claims to be pioneer in this de-
partment of education.
Everyone who has had anything to do
with horses knows that they have re.
markable memory and very keen sight
and hearing. Psychologists may deny
that the horse has the power of going be-

trovert this idea, some hold it proba-
BILE that there has never been a band
OF genuine gipsies in America; but
the Gypsy Lore Journal makes the
statement that in IT'S nine border
gipsies, by names Faa, Stirling, Yors-
toun, Finneck, Lindsey, Ross and Rob-
ertsOn were transported by Glasgow
magistrates to Virginia plantations.
Mention has been made Of the gipsies
sent over during our revolutionary
war, and there is record of the pres
ence of gipsies in New York a half
century ago. Among gypsy names in
America we find those of the good old
families, that is, good old gypsy fami-
lies: Lee, Lowell, Cooper, Stanley.
Bosvills, etc. The gipsies take intense
pride in family" in spite Of their
supposed democracy.
To go back to the European gipsies.
They appeared In Germany some time
earlier than In England, in which
country their numbers increased rap
idly; here they travelled about in
bands, having leaders called count,
lord or duke. AS early as the eleventh
century they lived as serfs or nomads
in the Greek-speakiug countries of
southeast Europe. The Spanish gypsy
is known to us thrcagh song and
story, but travellers aver he Of tina
present is dirtier and more greedy
than picturesque. In Scotland the gip-
sy f1ourished earlier and greatly,
there intcrmarrying with the native
and not looked down upon. To-day
in Scotland quite number of gipsies
are filling posts of honor in the medi-
cal and legal professions.
The gypsy calls himself a Romany,
never a gypsy. The origin of the
word is in dispute, some holding that
it was obrrowed by the gipsies of Eu-
rope from the province called, in
