FARM TENANCY INCREASING.

Farm tenancy instead of ownership
is on the increase to an alarming de-
gree in certain sections of the South
In Mississippi 66.1 per cent. OF the
farmers of the state are tenants, in
stead of owners; in Georgia $50 per
cent. In South Carolina theNpercent-
age is So.
According to the monthly bulletin
of the University of South Carolina,
$751; per cent of the land in that state
is now lying idle. Land owners in that
state operate greater percentage Of
all farm lands than do tenants, but the
tenants operate a greater percentage
of the improved lands than do own
ers.
Some Of the conclusions reached In
the South Carolina bulletin are:
over twice as many of the tenant
farms of the state are operated by
negroes as are operated by whites.
Negro owners operate little over
one-tenth of all the farms in the state,
and slightly less than one-third of all
the farms operated by owners.
Farm mortgages hae been steadily
increasing in South Carolina, having
trebled in twenty years" = New York

LIVING TO BE 100.

Real centenarians seldom have
striven to be such. But aspirants to
that elias are always full of anxiety
lest they break self-imposed rules and
and generally contemptuous of the
other fellows chemes. Two such men
who once resided in Toronto used to
anuse their friends by their criticisms
o Teach other. One argued that his
acquaintance could not possibly live
to be 100 years old because he drank
only one glass Of water instead of two
on rising. The other was equally pos
tive about his rival. "He hasn't got
chance" he was wont o say. "Why?
Because he uses salt on his potatoes
I've seen him doing it." Both died be-
fore they were sixty years old Long
evity isn't everything. Trying to live
clearly and do good is better than
striving to find formula for 100
years of tenancy on earth. = Toronto

THE GYPsIEs OF RUMANIA.

Bucharest.-Of the dozens of doffer-
ent people in Rumania, none is more
picturesque than the Gypsies. Like
their prototype in America, they rove
the country in grea caravans, earning
stray pennies by begging, dancing,
playing music and telling fortunes. In
the cities they sometimes earn their
bread and onions" by shining shoes,
peddling lemonade or acting as por-
tiers.
The high cost of living which has
drawn tight the strings of every purse
has brought double hardships to these
wanderers. No matter how well they
play their violins, no matter what
good fortune they see in the stars for
those about them, they find it hard to
coax pennies from the empty pockets
OF the war-oppressed Rumanian peo-
pie. Many of them have starved to
DEATH
Among the gypsy women and girls
are to be found some striking types OF
beauty. Dark of complexion and hair,
with shining, long-lashed black eyes,
they are delight to look upon. They
have not yeet acquired the art of using
cosmetics as their sisters in the Unit
ed States do.
Superstition plays a large part in
the life of the gypsy. One of the
many ancient customs which still sur
wives among the women is to beat
themselves frightfully if one Of their
children dies. They believe the death
has been caused by an evil spirit hav-
ing entered the body of child as we'll
as of mither and that if they chastise
themselves the spirit will depart
One Rumanian gypsy woman whom
an American relief worker visited was
apparently about to die from pneu-
monia. The doctor found numerous
bruises all over her chest. and these
had seriously aggravated her condi.
ton. On questioning he learned that
her bruises were due to beating she
had given herself because one of her
eight children had died.
