Derivation of GYPSY.

The word gypsy is derived from
Egyptian, which was first corrupted
into Gypcian, and then into gypsy or
gypsy; the gypsies being popularity
supposed to be Egyptians. Ethnolo-
gists generally concur in regarding
them as descendants Of some obscure
Hindu tribe They appeared in west
ern Europe at the beginning Of the
eleventh century. and are now found
in every part Of the world. They
speak a corrupt Sanskrit dialect, and
are dark skinned, dark-eyed, 1.-the and
sinewy. They are nomadic, living
largely in tents, huts or caves, and
are generally fortune tellers, musi-
clans, cattle dealers, or thinkers. They
appear to be destitute Of any system
Of religion, but traces Of various forms
of paganism are found in their Ian
guage and customs.

Year of Literary Distinction,

The centenary Of the publication of
"Waverly" prompted a correspondent
of the London Chronicle to discuss the
most wonderful year in English litera-
ture. He himself declared for 1850,
and challenged any one to beat It.
Here is it's record: In 1850 Dickens
gave England David Copperfield," and
Thackeray published "Pendennis;"
Kingsley completed the novels with
"Alton Locke" and to match them in
poetry Tennyson gave US In Memoir

and Easter Eve"

Importance of Play.

Play is an earnest thing in child
hood, never a trivial matter. The
play activities OF children have a
meaning which the world Is beginning
to understand. Parents are realizing
more and more that childrens play is
not merely for fun, but for health,
strength, mental development and the
building Of character. Every home
should provide interest In play and
recreation for boys and girls. Part OF
the present-day methods of home train
ing aims to do this. The homemade
kindergarten Is not a difficult thing
for a mother to conduct, thus making
work and play benefit and delight
to the children.

HDeus Ex Machina."

The term deus ex machina," as
now used, is applied to the arbitrary
introduction of an incident or per.
son in tragedy or comedy to remedy
some inartistio negligence in its con-
struction. The term originated In an
cient times, when the Greek poets, In
conformity with the NEUROLOGICAL be-
liefs Of their age, brought about the
announcement Of their plots by the
Intervention of a god, who descended
upon the stage by mechanical con-
trivance and abruptly settled what
ever difficulty barred the proper ter
mination of a piece. The words are
Latin, and mean, literally, "a god from

MUST ALL BE MADE STANDARD
Enulneers Have Come to Realize That
Narrow Gauge Railroad Lines
Will Have to Go.

Available statistics show that there
is in the entire world nearly one hun
dred and sixty-fve thousand miles Of
narrow gauge railroad lines, says the
Engineering News. The great bulk OF
this mileage must eventually be con-
verted to standard gauge, as the mar
row gauge railroad lines Of the United
States have been. The cost Of this
alteration. enormous as it Is, Is but
small fraction of the financial loss
which the world has suffered through
It's belief In this economic and en-
gineering fallacy. A comparison of the
freight rates per ton mile on United
States railroads and on the narrow
gauge railroad systems Of other coun-
tries is most instructive as showing
the ineff1ciency Of the narrow gauge
system as transportation machine.
If fair estimate were made Of the
cost to the world resulting from the
narrow gauge falacy, the total would
probably reach several billions Of dol
lars. The cost in Japan alone Of chang
ing 5000 miles of narrow gauge rail-
road to standard gauge is estimated at
S150,000,000. In Argentina the net
earnings of the narrow gauge railroads
are only about half as much on the
capital invested as the net earnings of
the standard gauge lines and this, not
withstanding the fact that the capital
ization per mile OF the standard gauge
lines Is much heavier.

chesterfieIdlan American.

One mistaken idea has taken root
and fourished in the minds of many
American women. 1t is the idea OF
mans dominance and woman's servi-
tude. This may apply to other coun-
tries, but it has no foundation of truth
In civilized America. No finer type OF
gentleman can be found on the face
of the globe than here in the United
States Of America. His attitude to-
ward women has ever been chivalrous.
The modern woman will never accom-
plish the results she anticipates from
equal suffrage that she might accom-
plish by the exercise of that innate
moral charm, the potency Of which
has moved the world in all ages.-Sub-

How to Detect a Noise.

If something happens that an alb
normal noise is heard from the mech
anism of a motor car or other ma
chine and that it is difficult to find just
what part of it Is responsible. In such
cases many skilled mechanics proceed
as follows, and there is no better way:
They take fat piece Of metal, a fiat
file, for example, and place one end of
it between their teeth, the other end
they apply to the parts Of the machine
that may be suspected, Of course while
ii is in motion. BY stopping the ears
the abnormal sound can be distin-
guished from other noises, and with
little experience the exact point from
which it comes can be discovered.

English Strawberries.

Strawberries have been known In
England from the earliest times, but
the luscious berries now grown there
are quite modern variety. Until the
fifteenth century none but wild ber-
ries were obtainable, and even the
good Strawberries" which according
to Shakespeare, grew in the Bishop OF
Ely's Holborn garden, can have been
only transplanted "wildings." In the
eighteenth century an improved va
riety was cultivated, known as the
"Hautboy," which greatly pleased the
taste of Doctor Johnson; but the mod
ern berry comes from a cross with a
Chilean variety introduced only CEN
Jury ago.

the meat and fry 1t until q little more
than half done Pack the slices as
closely Is possible in stone jar, and
cover with hot lard AS the meat is
wanted for use, it may be removed
from the jar and warmed up. If the
lar is to stand for any time after
portion of the meat is removed from
1t, it is better to renew the covering of
lard. Several small jars are better
for this use than one large cne, and
they should be Kept in cool. dark

Oriqln Of Hchautauqua."

The word Chautauqua has an inter
esting history. Long ago when the an
cestors OF the Senacas came to the
margin Of this beautiful lake, after a
successful hunt, they camped upon Its
borders for the night. A sudden storm
arose. The waves became SO high that
their camp was jeopardized, and in
the confusion little child was swept
away beyond their reach and lost In
the lake. Thereafter the lake was
known as Chauddaukwa (the place
where the child was carried away,
now Anglicized into its present form'

woman convicted Of having sold wa

shall be poured down the funnel un-

that the culprit cannot be made to

the butter shall be crushed down
upon his head and shall remain there
until the sun shall have melted It"

Seventeenth Century Submarine.

Submarines are not so modern an
invention as most people imagine.
In the early years Of the seventeenth
century a Dutchman, Cornelius Ore
bel, built an underwater boat, in
which he made several trips from
Westminster to Greenwich. So i'm
pressed was James I that he award
ed Drebel an apartment in Ethan
palace, and desired to be kept in touch
with all further developments of the
Dutchman's invention. A contem-
porary writer states that Drebel's boat
was so constructed that a person
could see under the surface Of the
water without candle light as much
as he needed to read in the Bible or
any other book"

INEQUALITIES of the Human Lot.

There is nothing to make one indig-

that men should toll and suffer pain.
The planetary conditions once for all
are such, and We can stand it. But
that so many men, by mere accidents
bf birth and opportunity, should have
life Of nothing else but toll and pain
and hardness and inferiority imposed
upon them, should have no vacation.
while others natively no more deserv-
ing never get any taste of this cam
paigning life at all-this is capable Of
arousing indignation in reflective
minds. 1t may end by seeming shame
full to all of us that some of US have
nothing but campaigning, and others
nothing but unmanly ease.-Wllliam
