The oypsies OF Hungary.

Hungary is the home Of the
Tzigancs in so far as they have any
home. In all other European coun-
tries they were prosecuted for cen
turics, but in the fifteenth century
the Hungarians took pity on them.
There are about 100000 Tziganes
in Hungary, and, with few excep-
tions, they are musicians, The typ
icd Tziganes may best he seen near
the Croatian frontier in the district
OF Nagy-Karped. Their camps are
always set up ut some distance from
the town or village and II possible
near a forest. Their huts have but
one room and are devoid Of furni-
turc. Tziganes take their meals
and sleep on the bare boards. Many
unsuccessful attempts have been
made TO restrain the Tziganes. The
Emperor Joseph III. once allotted
land and ordered them TO cultivate
their acres. They turned their
houses into stables, set up tents
near by for their own use, and to
prevent the corn given them for
seed from sprouting they boiled Il,

Orialn Of the Rothsehiids.

The founder OF the Rothschild
family, Amschel Moses Rothschild,
kept a coin store at l52 Judengasse,
Of Jewish quarter, Frankfort on the
Main. Before this shop was dis
played red shield; hence the name
Rothschild. Amschel dealt in curl
osities, art goods and old gold and
silver. His son, Mayer Amsehei.
was born in l743 and died in 1912.
lie, like his father, continued in the
coin business. In the course OF his
coin business he met a collector,
the court banker to the lsndgraye
of Hesse, This banker was so inn
pressed by Mayors business ability
that he loaned him money for in
yestment, and it was in this way
that the great banking firm Of
Rothsehild was established Elder

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Promptnsss and PoIitsnsss In Answer.
Ing Dinner Invitations.

Ing Dinner Invitations.
There was once a great man
whose name / have forgotten, but
Il is not important to this nara.
tive, who gave his son this bit oi
social advice: "Answer a dinner in.
vitation within twenty-four hours
after you receive it. II you accept
let nothing short Of four death pre-
vent your going, and il you die ar.
range for a substitute in your will
Whatever you do, for heavens sake
be prompt in the doing"
Along the same lines was a note
received by a certain Washington
hostess from the valet Of an attache
Of one of the legations, an. -
regrets that he cannot come to Mrs
D.'s dinner, but he died last night
Now, a funeral in the family il
usually accepted as a very good rea-
son for not doing anything, but lit
tie short OF one can excuse a lack
Of punctnality in matters social.
Whatever you are, be prompt.
A few years back il was consider.
ed rather a nice thing to come in
just a little late. Girls going to
balls spoke with pride Of being
among the last arrivals. Novelists
who would chronicle the doings Of
the smart set got into the fashion
Of opening their choicest chapters
with a vision Of the hostess and
those of her guests who were un-
derbred or unfortunate enough to
have arrived on time sitting in de-
jected state awaiting the honored
guest Of the evening, who always
made II point to appear just ff-
teen minutes after the hour set In
the card Of invitation, but 1--WE have
changed all that"
Punctuality, the politeness Of
kings, is once more to the fore. II
you want to be popular with those
who entertain, answer your invita-
tions as soon as you receive them.
Personally I think telephone invi-
tation a twentieth century species
Of inquisition. How can you think
Of fitting excuses for not going or
properly enthusiastic reasons for
going when you are confronted with
a gaping bit Of metal in the shape
OF n transmitterp But the tele-
phone has had its use as well as It's
abuse in that IL has obliged the 9th
erwise tardy TO come up to time.
The more informal and personal
the invitation the prompter should
the answer be. II you are going to
be merely an atom in vast assem-
blage, then you may be pardoncd
for letting your reply to your bid
ding daily, but II you are TO be one
Of a chosen few such hesitancy Is
one Of the blunders that are worse
than crimes.
Decline IL you will, accept IL you
see ft, but, whatever you do, for
heavens sake bc prompt in the do

AUTHORS HANDWRITING.
Jules Jsnin Wnuld Rather Rewrits
Than Read His Manuscript.

Charlotte Bronte's handwriting
seemed to have been traced with 9
needle, and the penmanship of Bry.
ant was aggressive, well formed and
decidedly pleasing to the eye
Thackeray's writing was marvellous
ly neat and precise, but it was SO
small that microscopic eyes were
needed to read it. Longfellow
wrote bold, open backhand which
was the delight of printers.
The handwriting Of Captain Mar
ryat was so microscopic that when
he rested from his labors he was
obliged to mark the place where he
left off by sticking pin in the pa
per. Napoleon's handwriting was
worse than illegible. II is said that
his letters from Germany to the
Empress Josephine we're at first taxi
en- for rough maps Of the seat Of
war.
Much of Carlyle's temperament
may be read in his handwriting. He
wrote a patient, grabbed, oddly en-
phasized hand. The chirography Of
Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore
and Gray was easy to read and ran
smoothly. 1t was not expressive Of
any especial individuality, however.
The writing Of Dickens was minute,
and the authors habit OF writing
with blue ink upon blue paper, with
frequent erasures and interlinea-
tions, made his copy a burden to
his publishers. Byron's handwrit-
ing was a mere scrawl. His addi-
tions in his proofs often exceeded
in volume the original copy. To
one of his poems which contained
only 400 lines in the original 1000
lines we're added in the proofs.
One day n distressed compositor
appeared at the house OF Jules ia
min and besought him to decipher
some pages Of his own manuscript.
Janin replied that he would rather
rcwrite than attempt to read over
what he had once written.
Few printers could read the copy
OF Balzac, and those who could in
variably made strict agreement
with their employer that they would
be required TO work ut II only one
hour at time. Even after the
hicroglyphics had been translated
into print the proof sheets came
back more illegible than the orig
inal copy. .
While having his house repaired
Rufus Choate had promised to send
10 the builder the model for n
carved mantclpiccc. Failing to OBJ
tain exactly the kind Of mantclpiece
that he wanted, uhoatc wrote to his
workman to that effect. The car
pcntcr eyed the missiyo from oil
sides and finally decided that II
must be the promised plan. Forth
with hc set 10 work to fashion what
would have been the most original
mantclpiece ever made.-Ncw York

MEERSCHAUM PIPES.
Americans, II Seems, Do Not Make or
Keep Them Right.

Americans, II Seems, Do Not Make Of
Keep Them Right.
"You don't see the best meer-
schaum pipes in this country" said
German pipe dealer who learned
his trade in Vienna.
"Why? Because the Americans
are in too big hurry-haven't time
to take care Of a meerschaum
haven't even time to learn how
When the American is through
smoking he knocks his pipe on the
heel Of his shoe to remove the
ashes, shoves it in the most handy
pocket and is on the run.
"Now, in the old country man
takes his pipe seriously, very seri-
ously. He expects his meerschaum
to last him a lifetime and then be
in good repair to hand down to his
heir. The pipe is passed from gen.
Grafton to generation, and it is al
ways handled as carefully as a new
born babe. The smoker never
touches the bowl while it is warm.
That would spoil the fine, glossy
color. When the German has COM
pleted his serious and meditative
smoke his pipe is laid very carefully
away where Il will cool properly and
without danger Of scratching. He
does not ram it into his pocket
with other miscellaneous articles,
as the rushing American does. He
takes his time and gives il his care
and attention.
"rhe best meerschaum pipes in
the old country are made Of soft
meerschaum and are hand carved.
Then they are boiled in bceswax.
The soft meerschaum absorbs the
wax. The fine color is produced by
the wax and the nicotine combin-
ing. When the pipe is smoked the
wax softens from the heat. That is
why the pipe should not be touched
while warm. Touching mars the
gloss.
"The American manufacturer
does not carve or polish them by
hand. The work Is done BY ma
chimes. The soft meerschaum, II
treated that way, would break, so
hard meerschaum, n low grade, Is
used. The hard clay will not alb
sorb beeswax, so It is boiled in
glycerin. The most beautiful eolors
cannot be produced with glycerin.
