GYPSIES IN A PRIVATE CAR
No Hardships OF Travel for a Tribe
Ruled by Women.

The Gypsies are here!
Not in the humble emigrant wagon
OF other days, or even the more
sumptuous road vans of the Stanley
family. but in private car with
enough baggage to furnish a hotel
The Gypsies car is n passengr,
coach, a combination smoker and
baggage car originally, and not so
old now but that 1t can be attached
to regular trains and hauled back
and forth across the continent. 1t
is parked in the Great Western
yards.
But tho they have adopted civili-
zation to the extent of faring sump-
tuously when they hit the road, they
still cleave to the ways of their fore
fathers when it comes to cooking
Their stove is "A few stones thrown
together. with an ancient pot set
thereon. and little fire and a lot
of smoke.
Inside the car are picturesque
heaps OF multicolored rags and nu-
merous children In various stages of
dress and undress-mostly the lat
ter. There is no race suicide among
them. neither is there excess of
prudishness. Women so ancient in
appearance they would have made
Gagool look like an jngenue, and
old men who, apparently may have
attended Methusaleh's funeral. were
there.
Ruled by Women.
Like many Gypsy tribes, this is a
matriarchate. Authority is divided
among the three Oldest women who
came over from Bucharest years
and years ago"
These three women are old bent,
withered and shriveled. The oldest,
Queen Amorita, is so weak sho can
hardly walk, but her black eyes snap
firo and her language when she ad
dresses any of her humble subjects
is full of the vim that must have been
hers in other days.
The tribe is descended from these
women. There are about seventy all
together.
They are Christians but eclectic In
their tastes. Some OF the children
have been baptized according to tho
Greek Orthodox rite. others by Ro-
man Catholic priest and the remainder

dist minister
One remarkable fact deserves notice.
The women do not read palms or tell
fortunes and the men do not trade
horses.

Hadassah was the one who seemed
more intelligent than the others and
who had repudiated all claim to GYPSY

G0URD FIRST NURSE BOTTLE
Specimens on Display in British Mu-
scum Seem to Be Also Rather
and Picture Book Combined.

Possibly hollow gourd constituted
the first baby's feeding bottle.
Torn from its parent tree, its edible
interior would have found It's way to
the stomach Of its adult plucker, after
which the hollow shell would be filled
with milk or other liquid refreshment
for the satisfaction of the infant.
In tropical countries, again, the CO.
cOnut would constitute a natural
feeding bottle, already filed with the
necessary nourishment.
Without, however, indulging in spe.
culation Of this kind 1t may be noted
that the archaic vase room at fhe Brit
ish museum contains speech Ems of
feeding bottles-"tetinoe," arcnIeOlO.
gists call them-dating back 70 be-
tween six and seven hundred years
before Christ.
These very early babies bottles are
usually globular in shape are elabor-
ately decorated and are covered with
small knobs which. it is cOniectured,
were used to hang tiny bells upon.
In short the feeding bottle of those
days was also a rattle and a picture
book combined.

TABLETS 1000 YEARS OLD
Writings Dating Back as Far as 1000
3. C. Are Translated by UniVer-
sity Of Wisconsin Professor.

A number of Sumerian tablets, writ.
ten at least as early as 1000 B. c.,
have been translated by Prof. +. T.
Kelly of the department of Semitic
languages at the University of Wis
consin.. OF about thirty cones and
tablets translated, almost all were
lists of animals and men.
The Sumerlan tablets are difficult
to read, as the writing is n cOmbina-
tion of wedges used in different ar
rangements to form words, and the
grammatical construction is not like
that of any other language. Most Of
the tablets are dated by correlating
them with certain well-knOwn events,
such as the year certain city was
devastated or the year king was
crowned. The contract tablets are
mostly lists of commodities, such as
the following:
Zone COW (recelved) from Garkua-
1ah, the farmer; one COW exchanged
for the donkey of Naniasi; sixteen
sheep exchanged for the donkey Of
Ninnuskanitir: one CUR. ten "a Of
grain eatables (bread (received) for
a sacrifice (sacrificial feHst) of Rald-
gishnika at Erech. The donkey Of
Er-Erarashar was captured alive at
Shaduhebiruni, the year (the king)
devastated Haknurl."

1t Is a strange fact that although
Kllmarnock is a very prOsalc looking
factory tOwn--the most commonplace
in the regiOn-it Is the home Of num-
bers of poets. Perhaps the rhythm of
the ShuttleS in the great weaving mills
is productive Of poetic measures.
At the Burns monument in Ayr You
may see the wedding ring of Jean Ar
mOur and the Bible Burns gave to
Highland Mary, and you may walk
across the very field where Burns
turned up a daisy with his pIow, and
turned it into lyric.
But to try to recreate personality
by looking at books and rings and
even houses, or by following the foot
steps of the great man, is really q
hopeless task. The spirit of Burns
lives rather in the hOmely wit of the
Ayrshire people, in their ways of liv-
ing and thinking. which are not much
changed since his day. And it lives
even more wildly in the Ayrshire
country side, a landscape lyrical and
homelike, with its velvety fields and
whispering streams, it's "bOnnie banks
and braeS."

SILENT AUCTION IN HOLLAND
Calling for Bids, So Familiar In the
United States, Is Not Heard In
the Netherlands.

The call of the auctioneer, so famlI-
iar in the United States, is not heard
in the Netherlands, according to one
Of Uncle's Sans commercial attaches
who tells in a report to the govern
ment of the system of silent auctions
used in that country.
At the regular trade auctions, he
says, instead of having an auctioneer
call for bids there Is large dial pro-
vided with an index hand. The face
Of the dial Is marked with prices, in
creasing in clockwise fashion. The
hand IS set at price above that which
the goods offered will probably bring,
then is slowly moved to lower and
lower figures until some trader indi-
Gates his willingness to buy.
Electric push buttons are connected
with the dial, which the traders press
when price satisfactory to them is
shown by the dial. As. the trader
presses his button his number ap-
pears on the face of the dial and the
lot of goods Is sold to him at the price
indicated by the index hand. There
Is no noise or confusion, and the auc
tlons are finish in remarkably short
space Of time.

Evergreen trees do not retain their
leaves forever, but are so called be-
cause the new leaves appear before the
old ones are shed. Miss Winnie A.
PeaSe has been studying the many
evergreens of the Pacific Northwest
to ascertain how long the several Spe-
cies retain their leaves. She finds
Il wide variety, the shortest being the
California buckthorn, which sheds
some of its leaves in autumn and re-
tains the others only until those of
the coming season are mature. The
longest is the short-leaved yew, which
retains it's leaves for from five to
twelve years, some of them persisting
for as long as % years. . Saplings
lose their leaves more quickly than
mature trees and trees In the open
more quickly than those In shady
places.

MIRRORS GUARD Cash
Ingenious Devices Used to Pro-
teCt Uncle Sans Wealth.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
One Of the Most Carefully Guard.
ed Buildings In the World.

Uncle Sam uses mirrors, but II isn't
because he is vain. He is the worlds
wealthiest man, and for that reason
he isn't taking any chances of permit
ting anyone SurreptitiOusly to sep
| arate him from any of his riches, and
uses mirrors to help guard his mil
lions of treasure locked up In his vast
vaults.
When you visit the national capital,
go to the bureau of engraving and
age stamps and valuable documents
are printed. This building is said to
be one of the most carefully guarded
buildings in the world. 1t is protected
by some of the most modern electrical
burglar alarms and 60 armed night
watchmen patrol the plant.
Five different signaling systems are
installed in the building, including the
watchman's time recorder, the electric
clock system, the division report syS-
TEN, fire-alarm system and the meSsen-
cereal. system.
The vaults Are said to be among the
finest in the world. There are four
major vaults, all built alike, and
number Of smaller ones. These vaults
are guarded by special force of men,
headed by the custodian Of the vault.
No one Is allowed near the vaults I'm
less on official business or by special
permission of the director of the bu.
reau.
The vaults themselves, separated
from the building, are really vaults
within vaults. AT night, when the
doors are closed, two watchmen 90
completely around them every Is min
utes. BY an elaborate series of mir
rOrs, watchman can, in walking over
the grating, see entirely under as well
as on top of each vault, and If he
stands at a certain point he can see
all around the vault as well.
The vaults themselves are 40 by so
feet and some 20 feet high. They are
built of concrete, about four feet thick,
and are REINFORCED with steel railroad
ties. The concrete is intermeshed
with burglar wires. so that a knife
blade cannot penetrate at any place
In the entire structure without sound
ing an automatic alarm in the office
of the captain Of the watch. The door
itself weighs % tons, yet it is so per-
fectly balanced that it can be easily
closed with one finger.
Because Of the great size of this
building and the nature Of the work
carried on, 1t is imperative, as
Popular Science Monthly points out,
that most complete system be in
stalled to allow the captain of the
watch, who is in charge of all the
watchmen, to know Mt all times just
where each watchman is and also be
able to communicate with him in case
Of emergency.

A Prophecy That Failed.

DR.. Christopher Girtanner, fa-
nous professor of GOttingen, prophe-
sled as late as the last century that
before it had passed the transmutation
of gold would be generally known and
pratlced. ''Every chemist and artist
he wrote, ''will make gold; kitchen
utensils will be of silver and even
gold, which will contribute more than
anything else to prolong life, which at
present is poisoned by the oxides of
copper, lead and iron, which we daily
swallow with our food" Perhaps there
is something in that.--R. I. Geare, In
American Medicine.
