GYPSIES OF BALKAN LANDS
Eastern Europe Original Home of the Clan-know All Roads and
 Bypaths.

In the mountainous Balkan lands the gypsies are as nearly at home as any where on the planet. There are native dialects in these parts not unlike their own and there are regions where the people resemble them closely in per- sonal appearance. The Romany name Is surely near akin to the Roumanian. Yet even here the gypsies are as alien to the people as whole as are their brethren tramping the roads in vest ern America, writes Niksah.
 If the ethnologists are right the Bal kan region is probably the original Eu- ropean home of the clan and they have been wandering back and forth across it for many centuries. Certainly they know all the roads and bypaths and in search for guide you will sometimes find gypsy who will tell you that he can take you over a certain mountain pass or through certain valley, al- though he has never been that way himself, because he has heard his ia. ther or his grandfather tell of the road. Lore of the road Is to the gypsy what lore of the market is to the broker or lore of the soil to the farmer, some thing precious, by which he lives, to be stored away for reference.
 These gypsies of eastern Europe range back and forth across the tum. bled Balkan country. all the way from Constantinople westward to Hungary and Austria, even as far as Bohemia and the Russian frontier. Of all the worlds gypsies they are the most pow erty-stricken in appearance, their cara vans are the most miserable, their dogs the leanest and their children the dirt lest. Yet in some ways they are the ablest of the clan. They are certainly the most musical; their talent in this line Is unmistakable and rare

ONES INABILITY TO SLEEP
Insomnia May Be Overcome by For. getting About 1t and Avoiding
 Unnecessary Excitement.

If you don't sleep well den't worry about it. Your lack of sleep isn't go- ing to kill you or drive you insane. That is the substance of the advice given by doctor writing in the Amer. ican Magazine.
 It is advice that a good many nerv. ous people need, observes the Kansas City Star. How often do you hear some one apprehensiyely complaining that he Hes awake "all night The chances gre that he only thinks he was awake all night, and that in reality he got several hours of sleep between the spells of wakefulness. But even if he was wakeful, it is nothing to be alarmed about. Especially is it noth. ing to warrant taking medicine.
 The way to get over insomnia is to pay no attention to it, and not to talk about it. Sleep is largely matter of habit. It depends on living ration ally and going to bed at regular time. You are likely to be wakeful if you stir yourself up in the evening. II you work at night or get deeply in. terested in anything you find it diff cult to relax. That is the chief req son for wakefulness after a party. The excitement of the crowd interferes with sleep. The ideal way is to taper off the days activities as evening comes.

June 1 Day .: Mourning.

President Johnson. succeeding Lin- coin after the latter's assassination, issued proclamation appointing the 25th of May, 1865, as day of na- tional humiliation and prayer because of the death of Lincoln. Someone discovered that the 25th of May would be Ascension day. In the Christian ecclesiastical calendar and called President Johnsons attention to- the incongruity of converting that Chris tian festival of rejoicing into Il day of humiliation and prayer because of the death of mortal man. Where upon new proclamation was issued substituting June l as the day of the mourning.

WOULD NOT ACCEPT HUNDRED
Forty Pounds Compensation for Dam. ages on Railroad All Old
 Covenanter Would Have.

One of the first railways laid in North Britain connected the ancient city of Perth with Aberdeen. In Cham. bers Journal there Is a pleasant pic. ture of a stanch old covenanter at Whinnyknowe who was subjected to loss that called for compensation from the railway company. William Reid, there is no reason to doubt, gave care full consideration to the question of in jury, and when the railway official waited upon him he had decided the exact amount ot the damage that he had suffered.
 The official told the farmer that the compssny had agreed to allow him the sum of one hundred pounds in recom- pense.
 "A hunder. pounds v exclaimed the old covenanter. T wanna touch it, I have considered the matter and have made up my mind as to what should get. I winna talk hunder."
 Il would strongly advise you to ac- cept," replied the official. You are not likely to get more. I think the directors have been generous"
 "Too much so! too much sol" was the startling reply. 'I wilma talk the thunder; I'll hae forty pounds and not a penny more."
 "Oh, is that the trouble?' was the laughing response. Well, here is the order for one hundred pounds, which you will receive when you call at the office at Perth"
 William Reid accepted the order, and week later presented it at the conpany's office. A clerk asked him to sign receipt, and this the farmer did for forty pounds.
 You are to receive one hundred pounds, not forty" said the clerk, counting out the money.
 The old farmer was angry. T told your man," he cried, "ttat I would talk forty and not penny more; and I will not hae 1t. l want nae mans siller that I've nae richt to!"
 And William Reid, after twice count. ing his forty pounds, pushed the re- mainder back across the counter and walked out of the office.-Youth's Companion.

and looked across the road at the wealth of picturesque old houses. They are typical of the ancient bridge houses, and prints show the Pont Neuf to have been bordered with these. Nor would the Huns have wandered to the Impasse des Boeufs, which looks his tory to the very marrow, but has none that is recoverable. "So much the bet ter for people of imagination" quoth Charles Edward Stuart. Isn't it nice, tumbled, jumbled, dirty, fascinat- ing placer" No more would the Huns have halted at Bouchardon's fountain in the Rue de Grene1le, or been taken by the charming much -tummied, poly gaster'd maiden in the bas-relief, rath- CT out of it among the rampageous boys. It was Charles Edward Stuart who said these things, adding: T meant to write an ode to her on the plan of Keats 'Grecian Ode but, as l don't quite see how to do 1t better, I probably shall not do it at all" No, my Young Pretender!
 The Paris of history and the Paris of the war meet and become the one they have shown themselves, in place like the College Stanislas. Its shady grounds harbored Madam du Barry and her glittering circle. Captain Guy nemer. the Roland of French aviators, and General Gouraud, who was at Gal lipoli, are two of its many pupils to find fame Tn the war. But while Gou- raud was perfectly disciplined, Guy nemer was rather cratic little boy who would ask questions or answer back when reprimanded. He might often have been in disgrace, if the head master had not been so fond of him. Seven or eight years ago the College Stanislas had eight members in the French academy out of the di- vine forty. Its roll call includes ee- lebrities like Anatole France Rostand, and Henri de Regnier. Its professors, at the moment, include the Abbe Dim- net, silver-tongued and golden-hearted, man who helps to make War-Paris rich in scholarship, as well as rich in other airs and graees.

Origin of Bankrupt"

Few words have so remarkable a history as bankrupt" The money changers of Italy had benches or stalls in the bourse or exchange in former times. At these they conducted their ordinary business. When any of them fell back iii the world and became in- solvent his bench was broken, and the name of "broken bench." or "banca rotta," was given him. When the word was first adopted Into English it was nearer the Italian than it now is, being "bankerout" instead of bankrupt"
