for running some special errand or
any other valuable thing, save the

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR

Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not

Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev

habit was placed on the shoulders OF
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting Of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation on
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members Of the board OF
health who we're instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo.

made a canvass by mail of several

clans and only s per cent. from using

country roads and finding, at frequent
intervals, large groups of gypsies
camped by the wayside, have naturally
come to have a new realization OF
what a numerous element of our popu-
lation these nomads now constitute.
The average person, encountering
American gypsies in a casual way, OBJ
serves no differences or distinctions
between the various bands and yet, as
a matter of fact, there are among the
Romantics" as many and as sharply
defined classes of society as In any
other division of our population. AS
IN other sections of cur cosmopolitan
national community, too, we find some
of these nomads who are virtually out
least with whom the aristocrats of the
wanderers will not associate.
1t Is by no means strange, however,
If the citizen beyond the pale of gypsy
dom fails to perceive these minute dis
tinctiens, for the gypsies are a mystic
rious and secretive people, and for all
that they seem to live so much in the
public eye they in reality let the out
side world know precious little re-
garding them. The suspicious of the
rest of the world directed against them
for centuries have made the gypsies
wary of strangers, for all that they
need the money to be obtained in bar
ter or fortune telling-and it is prac-
tically impossible for a 'gorgio" (any
one not of the gypsy clam to really
penetrate the reserve of these peo-
pie. Their exclusiveness is rendered
the more easy from the fact that they
speak a strange tongue-an aptly
termed black language" which is al
most never taught to an outsider.
For all that the gypsy in this pro-
The Tupelo journal., 1911-02-10

black or white, can be found near the
camp to undertake the work. In the
same category of wonders is the grow
ing practice of the gypsy women to
employ seamstresses to make their
clothing.
Other evidence of how the habits,
if not the characteristics, of the
American gypsies are changing Is az
forded by the fact that many q pros

more especially a farm, which serves
as a sort of base of operations for
him-a refuge that corresponds in a
sense to the winter quarters of a
travelling circus. The wander-lust.
the love of travel, is SO strong in the
average gypsy that he cannot be con-
tent to remain long in any one place,
even though he own the property and
has fixed it up exactly in accord with
his own notions, but he will spend a
portion of each year In such tempo
rary home if for no other purpose
than to enable his children to obtain
some schooling.

GYPSY FORTUNE TELLERS;
Ability to Read Future Simply Result of Cultivated Hun Perception of Details

The principal means of livelihood
for gypsy men is horse trading, al
though, as has been mentioned above,
some of those who acquire means go
into the real estate field, and that
same instructive native shrewdness
which makes them successful in the
horse barter aids them to profitable
investments in this other field. Gypsy
women sometimes peddle lace and
baskets from house to house, but their
chief means of money making is for
tune telling, and this is preferably
carried on at camp, for the Romany
sentiment is that a woman's place is
in her home. incidentally it may be
remarked that gypsy girls are most
carefully guarded and marriages with
others than gypsies are discouraged.
The fortune telling of the gypsies,
or "dukkering," as they themselves
call it, Is a wonderful thing, and a
power undeniably subnormal which
reads past, present and future, yer
wish an all We want to know" But,
though the Romany's gifts are marvel
GUS, they cannot strictly be said to be
related to ~psychical phenomena. Yet
they are as interesting, being delight
fully human and as mysteriously baf-
fling as East Indian j~ugglery.
The Romany's usual method Of d.
vining the future is by the palm,
though it is sometimes by cards, some
times by dropping coins into clear wa
ter, and again by certain charms, va
ried by triiing sleight Of hand per-
formances. In the gypsy's palmistry
there is no book learning and little

most part are not to be found In any

ner, the expression and type of fea-
ture and a thousand details which
would be overlooked as unimportant
trifes by a gorgio, count with the
Romany. She refuses to "dukker'
time, possibly IN the plea that she be
longs to a secret order" which for
bids it, or that a fortune told IN such
tanner would not come true. These
statements, though deliciously appe.
tizing, are lacking in truth, for the
fact is only that she needs the un-
divided attention OF the one who con-
suits her, in order to get the best re-
suits of concentration of mind. In
justice to the gypsy, it should be
taken into consideration that the at
mosphere of scepticism which is apt
to surround a gay party of curiosity
seekers, is not conducive to success In
the exercise Of any profession.
The Romany fortune teller is an
adept in the art Of flattery, for there
are few exceptions to the rule that
nothing is so interesting as ones self.
