"Deus Ex Maohl,a.v

The term deus ex machina," as
now used. is applied to the arbitrary
introduction OF an incident or a per-
son In tragedy or comedy to remedy
some inartistic negligence in it's 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 n god. who descended
upon the stage by a mechanical con-
trlvance and abruptly settled what
ever difficulty barred the proper ter
mination of n piece The words are
Latin. and mean, literally. "a god from
the machinery"

Tho word gypsy is derived from
Egyptian. which was first corrupted
into Gypcian, and then into gypsy or
glpsy; the gypslos being popularity
supposed TO he Egyptians. Ethnolo-
gists generally concur in regarding
them as descendants OF some obscure
Hindu tribe. They appeared I'm west

eleventh century, and are now found
In every part OF the world. They
speak n corrupt SansItrit dialect. and
are dark skinned. dark-eyed, 1.-THE and

largely In tents, hutB or caves, and
are generally fortune tellers. musl.

of religion. but traces OF various forms
OF paganism are found in their Ian

orIain Of Moss Rose.

A German story gives the origin of
the moss rose as follows: Once upon n
time an angel, having a mission OF love
to suffering humanity came down to
earth. Being tired. he sought a place
wherein to rest. but as It Jared with
his Master. so II Jared with him. there
was no room for him, and no one
would give him shelter. At last he lay
down under the shade OF a rose. and
slept till the rising sun awoke him.
Before making his way heavenward
he addressed tho rose and said, as
IL had given him shelter which man
denied, IL should receive an enduring
token OF his power and love, and SO.
leaf by leaf, twig by twig, the eoft
green moss grew around the stem, and
there 1t is 20 this day. n cradle in
which the newborn rose may lie, O
proof. as the angel said. OF divine
power and love.
