From some such tribe the Gipsies of Europe and
America, that now number a million, are

European Hindu of the Panjab or the
Guggerat could hold conversation with a Gipsv
without much difficulty. And, strange as it NAV
seem, have myself in reading the ancient Sanskrit
Mahabharata, found more inspiration on the lips of
an aged Gypsy witch in her under the trees by
the Harlem River than in all the abstruse pages of
the Sanskrit dictionary To her the words that
puzzled me had familiar sound, and her comments
and explanations, while unframed and often ludi-
crOus not seldom gave clue to the truth
On this stock OF Hindu words and idioms have
been grated others, drawn from all the countries
through which the R6Wdui have wandered-Ar-
nenian Persian, and Turkish in Asia, Slavic Greek
Hungarian, German, French Spanish and English
And yet this hodgepodge produces, where still
spoken in its perfection, a compact, lucid and
sonOrOus tongue. The Anglo American Gipsies
have lost most of it. Their dialect is reduced to
jargon of Gipsy words with English grammar that
serves other end than TO conceal their meaning
in the hearing of the Gdni0S (non-Gipses).

 Burlap darned with an occasional thread of contrasting color makes some of the prettiest of the impressive furnishings for denS or sitting rooms. Whole sets of 1t can be made-couch cover and screens, pillows and table covers-at little cost and yet enough variety got to prevent any danger of monotony.
 For a couch cover choose one of the darker shades. Rich dark green makes very attractive ones, and a curious dark old blue. shade that comes ill nothing but burlap and in an occa sioHal silk imported from China, Is the prettiest of all for blue room.

AILMENTS OF CHILDREN.

 Are Often Very Effective.


 Are Often Very Effective.
 The value of warm baths and their effect upon nervous or fretful children, Whether in sickness or health, cannot be overeStlnated. Every infant unless there is some good reason, on the con- sraty. such as skin affection or ill- ness, should have two baths a day one tub bath in the morning, the other warm sponge bath when put to bed The morning bath is conducive to heathfulness and cleanliness; the sponge bath at night is most useful on account of its quieting and soothing effect. Neither bath should be above or below o3 degrees temperature. At this temperature there can be no dan ger from cold.
 The morning bath removes such de posits as have been eXcreted by the skin during the night, leaving the pores open and not, as many people suppose, making the child more sensitive to cold. It cleanses the millions of little pores, allowing them to exude certain oils which lubricate the skin and keep 1t soft and fine, at the same time throw ing off refuse which accunulates in the standardization Wheeler in Har- ner's Bazan.
