RETAIN THEIR RACIAL TYPE
Gipsies In Spain Are of That Country
Only Because IL IL Their
Birthplace.

One Of the things to attract the
notice of every traveller that visits
Spain is that strange race which he
finds scattered here and there in small
groups in the remote rural districts or
near the great centers Of population.
1t presents a type that can be mista-
ken for no other In the Spanish do
minions.
The lips thick, the eyes large, black
and piercing. the hair long. black and
straight. the complexion olive tinted.
the Spanish gipsy. whether encamped
in sheltering ravine or under the
arches Of an aqueduct or in the shad-
ow of an overhanging cliff. is indeed
Spanish because born In Spain, but In
all else he is a gypsy.
Time was when Spaniards of the
true blue blood called gipsies New
Castilians." or Egyptians" or "Moor-
ish footpads:" but while their traits
have undergone no change their name
Is now definitely gitanos, or gipsies.
Between fifty and sixty thousand is
the number Of them now In Spain, says
America. Most of them have no fixed
abode; but in some parts. and notably
in Andalusia. there are several small
settlements. for towns they can hardly
be called. where these wanderers have
taken possession Of caves in the
mountain side, whence they sally forth
to tell fortunes and to fitch. Wher-
ever they are, they are inclined to be
quarrelsome among themselves and to
enforce their arguments by means Of
wicked looking knives. which they
WELD with great dexterity.

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.

Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface Is
under strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, 1t Is a common practice to
use wall papers and draperies of that
color In Libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green Is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing, and
makes 1t hard to read.
Yellow writing paper Is not open to
the same objection. In strong day
light 1t Is softer than pure white pa
per. and In artificial light is not too
dark. Black letters on yellowish
background show clear and distinct.
Many mathematicians use yellow pa
per In figuring long and difficult cal
culations. and many writer's have
adopted 1t for manuscripts. 1t has the
additional merit Of cheapness.--

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

When frying meats. fish, etc, and
the stove becomes greasy sprinkle salt
on the spots as soon as the frying Is
done and rub. The stove will be clean
from grease.
When sweeping mating. to avoid
tearing the fabric slip a covering Of
flannel over the broom. The flannel
will take up the dust easily and will
save the mating much wear.
Here Is a way to pad the ironing
board. First tack an old soft blanket
about the board. Next put a layer Of
cotton batting and over this sew tight
ly unbleached muslin. Lastly put on
the cover and the work is done.
The water in which onions have been
boiled is excellent for cleaning gilt pic
ture frames. 1t not only removes
specks and dirt, but brightens up the
frames In a wonderful way. But 1t

Children, This Part Is Yours
EXPERIMENTS WITH WORMS.
Their Peculiar Way Of Joining To-
asthsr After Being Cut to Pieces.

In experiments the angle or "hsh"
worm and a number Of other species
of a similar low order In the biological
scale were found to have an odd pow
er. Cut or their heads, and new heads
grow on. Cut OF their tails. and new
tails grow. vivisect them at both ends.
and both ends are soon replaced. Not
only that. but a new body grows on
behind the detached head and also In
front Of the detached tail. 1t Is not
true. as is sometimes said, that II a
fish worm is cut In pieces the pieces
will join themselves together again.
Children would better let scientists
do such experimenting, however. as it
amounts to cruelty when done for
sport. The same principle is worked
out as when you sustain a hurt. per-
heps a burn or a lost finger nall. Ma
ture then takes its course and heals
the injured section on you as 1t does
with the worm.

SHOES FOR THE ONE LEGGED.

Single Shoes Sold. and Two Pairs Bro
ken For Some Customers.
When a one legged man buys a shoe
the dealer sends to the factory for a
shoe to match the one left remaining.
In these days of the use of machinery
in every process Of their manufacture
shoes are made with the utmost exact
ness and precision. and 1t is easily pos
sible to mate that remaining shoe with
the greatest nicely In size. style. mate
rial aud finish.
Few people have feet exactly alike.
Commonly the left foot is larger than
the right. so that one shoe may at a
little more snugly than the other. Or
dinarily. however. people buy shoes In
regularly matched pairs. the difference
in their feet. IL 1t is noticeable to them
at all. not being enough to make any
other course desirable.
But there are people who buy shoes
Of different sizes or widths. In which
case the dealer breaks two pairs for
them, giving them to fit their feet one
shoe from each. In such cases the
dealer matches up the two remaining
shoes. one from each of two pairs, just
as be would where he had broken one
pair to sell n shoe to a one legged
man.
But a man doesn't have to be one
legged to have feet Of uneven sizes or
shapes to make him ask the dealer to
break a pair Of shoes for him. says the
New York Sun. Here was a man with
two perfectly good feet who came into
the store where he was accustomed to
buy and who wanted on this occasion
one shoe. Travelling In a sleeping car.
his shoes had been mixed up with 9TH
ers, and he had got back one Of his
own and one of some other mans, a
fact which he had not discovered until
he was too far away from train and
station to make return and setting
things right possible. and now he came
In to buy one shoe to match his own.
