Music Makers of Europe.

u rom the LONDON MALL
Among the many races which make up
the population Of the Austro-Hunga,ian
empire the most characteristic certainly
are those curious people called Tziganes.
Hungary is the home OF the Tziganes, in
SO far AS they have any home In all
other European countries they were per-
secuted for centuries emissaries of the
evil one and enemies of Christianity, but
the HunGarians took pity on them and
treated the wanderers as lost children.
IT was in the fifteenth century that they
first made their appearance in St. Ste
phen's kingdom. King Sigismund re-
ceived them Hospitality and recommended
to the charity OF the public these poor
wandering people, without a home and
bounded by every one
There are now about 1J0,C COO Tziganes
In Hungary. They may be divided into
three classes: Those who go bareheaded
and barefooted. the wandering gypsies
those who wear headgear and shoes Sun
days. the semi-nomads, and those who
always wear hats and shoes. and who
have. to great extent abandoned the
nomadic life of their ancestors. The
Tziganes Of the last-named category are
generally musicians. When the TZiganes
first arrived in Hungary they were not
trained unsteady, but they soon appro-
priated Magyar music. and out Of it have
made weird art of their own Their
favorite instrument is the violin. or has

harp. but they have a marked aversion
for the piano. merely because it cannot

The Park Idea Spreads.

From the Detroit Free Press
The small city park idea is obtaining
considerable vogue in Kansas. In former
time Inhabitants Of villages and minor
towns were compelled to amuse them
selves in the streets. at the four corners
or in somebody's grove down past the
turn in the road" They We're delightful
picnics, those Qualifications of unforgotten
yesterday, marred only by sitting down
on a nest of busy ants. disturbing a
melancholy snake or falling over a root
into briar bush that was anything but
bonny. Nowadays the proper thing is to
have a spacious field, fringed or crisis
crossed with trees and shrubs with a
ball ground here and tennis court there.
a swing yonder and a bandstand hard by
with a dancing pavilion handy. There
all the people and their visitors may
gather in groups or crowds and drive dull
care away without picking ants out Of
the pie The idea will spread until the
small town without a park will be as
rare as homely girl at school.
