GYPSIES.
Tlio Orlg’n of the Race is an
Unsolved Problem.
A Tribo Without a Land, Litera¬
ture or Religion.
” " "
The origin of the gypsies is ono of
tho unsolved problems of ethnology,
nnd appears likely to remain so, say*
tho London Spectator, but there is no
difficul.y about tho name. It is obvi-
ously a corruption of “Egyptian,” a
name by which tho roving raco is
known nil over Europe. There is a
tradition among the gypsies that they
are a cross between Arabs nnd Jews,
aud left Egypt in the train of the
Egyptian*. \\ e certainly read in the
Biblical account of the Egyptian exo-
dm- that “a mixed multitude went up
also with tho Israelites.” This mixed
multitudo were evidently not Jews,
llcng-tcnbcrg supposes them to ltavo
been an inferior order of workmen,
employed, like tlie Jews, as s aves iu
building tlie Pyramids and treasure
citios of Egypt.
; "What became of that mixed multi¬
tude? We never hear of them again.
They could hardly ltavo been absorbed
by pro elytism int > the Hebrew nation
without some notice of tlie event; and
it secm9 scarcely possible for them to
have shared tho forty years’ wander¬
ings and entered into Canaan with tlie
Israelites without any mention being
made of it in tlie records of that poo-
plo. It is probable, therefore, that
tlieso nondescript fugitives separated
themselves from the Israelites after
the passage of the Rod Sea.
What became of them? Siinson, in
his interesting “History of tho Gyp¬
sies,” thinks that they must have gone
to Hindustan. All other routes being
closed against them, “their only al¬
ternative was to proceed east through
Arabia Petrea, along the Gulf of Per¬
sia, through tlie Persian desert into
Northern Hindustan,where they found¬
ed the gypsy caste, and whence they
issued, after a lapse of many centuries,
in possession of tlie language of Hin¬
dustan, and thence spread thcm.-clvcs
over tho earth.” To speak of “tho
language of Hindustan,” is, however,
au unmeaning expression.
Scholars are agreed that tho gypsy
language is a language of Hindustan,
and that, it is agreed, Btand* toward
the seven principal languages in the
relation of a sister rather than daugh¬
ter. Their common generic name in
Europe, besides gypsies or Egyptians,
is a word which means wanderers,
and which in German appears as
“Zigeuncr,” in Czech as “Cingan,” in
Italian as “Zingano,” or “Zingaro,”
in Magyar as “Cingany,” in Bulgarian
as Alzigan,” in Greek as “Atziganos,’’
in Scotcli as “Tinker.”
Tlie unity of the gypsies is a more
wonderful fact titan the unity of tho
Jews. They have no religion to bind
them together. Sometimes they pos¬
sess Christianity in its various forms,
sometimes Mohammedanism. But
they have no literature, no national
history, no religion of their own;
nothing in common but a language
which, with dialectical variations, is
comin ut to them all over Europe,
Asia, North America, and tlie north¬
ern coast of Africa; a physiognomy
os marked as the Jewish; an ideal ot
life which is perfectly distinct, and a
general attitude of lawlessness toward
all other races, together with fixed
standards of morality and honor
among tlie Romani race. They inter¬
marry with other races more than the
Jews, nnd p issess the 6ame power of
perpetuating their typo. 1
Gypsy blood, liko Jewish, persist*
through generations of Gentile exis¬
tence in a distinct type of features, es¬
pecially iu the lustrous black eye. It
would be curious to trace tlie gypsy
strain in some of our best-known
names and families. Tho wife of
Carlyle had gypsy blood, ami gloried
in it. Several of our noble families
can boast of die same distinction, and
bear the evidence of it in their feat-
ures. The gypsies have an inborn
love of music, and are, indeed, the
creators of much of tho wild pathetic
music of Hungary, as well as its prin¬
cipal instrumental exponents- But
what is less known is that some of
tlie best Welsh harpists have bccu of
the Romani race.
IIow many of those who itave been
charmed by the coucerts of the Roberts
family have known that they have
been l.s.ening to gypsy musicians? In
Hungary they are numerous and
powerful, aud tho we l-kuown states¬
man, Andrassy, is said to have been a
gypsy. When they first appear on the
page of European history, we find
them under the leadership of Dukes,
Counts, and Knights of Little Egypt,
wno rode on good horses gayly capar-
isoned. In more recent times the
gypsies of Europe itave been under
the rule of Kings and Queens, for they
have no Salic law.
The Law all Right.
Mr. Snaggs—Just look at the way
t>'° 1-w works. If a man loses a leg
or an ara in a railway accident, he
can often get fifteen or twenty thous¬
and dollars damages, but if he loses
bis life his widow can't collect over
$5,000.
Mis. Snaggs (reflectively)—That is
enough. Any widow with 85,000 in
bank can easily aet another husband,

CULTURE OF ALFALFA.
Alfalfa, or as it was formerly
known, lucent, is a plant of tlie clover
tribe, and very similar to it in its man¬
ner of grotvtli a id character. It lias
smaller and narrower leaves and a
purplish blossom, tho stems arc rather
woody and hard when full grown, it
is a very deep-rooted plant, more so
than clover, and requires rich soil and
hot, dry weather. Experience with it
;n tlie East lias shown that it is infe¬
rior to clover in several respects, al¬
though it, remains in the soli for many
years when it is well suited as to its
needs for growth.
Twenty pounds of seed per acre arc
sown in the spring, ancl alone, as it
will not succeed if sown with a grain
crop. Tito plant docs best in rich,
light, deep soil, and under irrigation,
but where clover will do its best, al¬
falfa Avill iu no ease supplant it.
When cut for green fodder it grows
rapidly again; for making hay it must
be cut early, and unless it is cured in
the cock it will lose its leaves and bo-
come quito hard and woody. — [New
York Times.
APPLY NITROGEN TO GET STARCH.
In the experiments with pota.oes at
Rothamstcd, England, it lias been
found that potash is one of the most
essential ingredients required in tlie
soil that it may produce a large crop.
It is also shown that increasing tlie ni¬
trogenous manures gives rise to a large
increase in the starch stored in tlie po¬
tato, and it is chiefly for this end that
tlie nitrogen-bearing manures aro ap¬
plied. Another point brought out by
tho chemical analysis of the tubers
grown under different manures is that
the juice (about eighty per cent.) is
richer in nitrogcu where nitrogenous
manures aro usod and the greater part
of the nitrogen is always in tlie juico,
anti of course lost to the food in cook¬
ing
Discascd potatoes are round to con¬
tain less dry matter than the healthy
ones. Tlie fungus, preying upon the
tuber, extracts tho starch and also
uses up the nitrogenous substances in
the juice. The richer tlie juice is in
the nitrogenous substances the more
favoruble tlie conditions for tlie rot
fungus. Therefore, potatoes grown
with much nitrogenous manures would
naturally be tho most likely to nndergo
decay.—[American Agriculturist.
TIG FEEDING.
In a series of experiments in pig
feeding by Prof. E. M. Shelton at the
Kansas Experiment Sta ion tlie meat
of tho shorts-bran fed pigs was found
to bo of a darker color, and contained
not only a greater proportion of Jean
to fat, but also a greater “actual
amount” of lean meat; tlie lungs, in¬
testinal fat, and loaf lard weighed
less; the blood, liver, kidneys, uterus,
stomach and tenderloin weighed more;
and tho per cent, of dry matter iu the
lean meat, as well as in the fat, was
Jess. The average strength of tho loft
femur bone was greater in the shorts-
bran lot. “The corn-potatoes fed
pork was pure white, and firm to the
touch, while that from the shorts-bran
fed pigs was in color of a dirty yel¬
low, and in texture soft and flabby.”
Cooking tests mado by roasting,
frying and boiling portions of flesh
from eaclt lot indicated that tlie meat
from tlie corn-potatoes fed lot had
some advantages over that from tlie
shorts-lnan feel lot. Two of the roasts
showed “no appreciable difference in
texture and flavor, whilo the shorts-
bran meat of two others was pro-
nounced distinctly dryer, harder and
more fibrous.” “The frying revealed,
in every caso reported, a hard tough¬
ness in the meat of the shorts-bran
meat not noticed in the flesh of the
other series.” The meat of the shorts-
5 ran series also shrank more by boil-
mg.
JWm OX BOAD-MAKIXG.
It is not in our own couutry alone
c °nstru<tiou and maintenance
of better country roads is attracting
general attention. According to an
authority on the »ubject in a paper
lately read before a club of British
farmers, the resistance to tmetion on
lovol roads of difTorent construction
and varying condition* i* very great,
and ha* been computed to bo compara¬
tively as follows: On a smooth-paved
surface, 2; a well-kept dry macada¬
mized grauite surface. 6; a similar
surface covered with dust, 8; a simi-
1st surface wet and muddy, 10;
a gravel or Hint road in u
wet state, 13; a similar sur-
face, very wet and muddy, 82.
Among other points enumerated as
important to roads, they should bo
made wide enough to permit of vehicles
passing „„c another with ease, partic-
ularly at night. From nineteen to
twenty-one feet is considered a suit¬
able width for the road bed. If too
narrow the traffic will run very much
in one place, while a width greater
than necessary loads to loss, as tho
wear of a roa 1 is caused by the action
of tho weather as well as by tho traffic.
The general tendency is cither to allow
a road to wear hollow or to nuke it
far too round.
Thorough drainage is insisted upon
ns most important, and there, as in this
country, it is more neglected titan any
othor point. The mud scraped oil
from roads should be removed beyond
tho reach of wheels, that it may not be
worked back again. Where a thick
coating of hard material is required, it
is better to put it on in successive thin
coats titan iu one thick one. Where
new material is spread on for tho re¬
placement of wear, tho travel should
be led to pass over such places and not
to avoid thorn.—[New York World.

Possibilities of the Bells.
Bell-ringers ought to be able to give
a changes ot bill at every performance.
It is curious to notice what a variety
of changes can be rung on bells. Eight
notes wi.l give 40,320 different pas¬
sages, and ten notes 9,058,880. The
changes which may bo rung on twelve
bells are 479,000,000, which at tlie rato
of two strokes a second, will ta-e
ninety one years to ring, Another
authority s->ys, upon the calculation of
ringing 720 changes in an hour, it
would take an incessant ringing of
thirty-seven years to complete 479,000,-
000 . Ftui'teen bells at the rate first
given would take 16,575 years to ac¬
complish tlie changes,and upon twenty-
four bells the changes could not be
rung in less than 117,000 billions of
years, and no concert company is like¬
ly to hold together for a “season’’ of
that length.— [Detroit Free Press.
Rocky Mountain Bee Plant.
The Rocky Mountain bco plant,
Cleome-iutegrifolia, stands dry weath¬
er well, and has been bloom.tig during
tlie very hot weather; but bees work
upon it only in early mo’ning. It
does not appear to yield as much
honey in this locality as its near rela¬
tion, Clcomc-Pungcns, otherwise
known ns spider plant. Frof. Cook
of Michigan Agricultural College last
year grew Rock} Mountain bee plant
on a large scale, in order to find
whether it would pay to raise it for
honey alone—and it failed to fill the
bill—tho climate could not be fur¬
nished along with the seed.—[Prairie

Petrified by a Storm.
Edgar Ramsey, a farmer, who lives
in the eastern part of Claiborn County,
Tennessee, came into Middlosborough
the otlter morning and related the fol¬
lowing extraordinary story, which he
is willing to swear to as being true,
lie claims that one Sunday afternoon
recently lie saw a large green looking
cloud coming f. om a westerly direction
toward his house while the rain was
falling in torrents. It then suddenly
grew very cold, and it comtnen ed tc
hail, and in less than half an hour il
became as dark as night. The wind
h ew very hard and hailstones fell, as
large as eggs. All this occurred i it
tlie space of one-half hour.
Later in tlie afternoon Jake War¬
ren, a neighboring fanner, galloped
to his house at full speed, and begged
him to go at once and look at the ex.
traordinary transformation which had
taken place iu his cornfield. All
partios concerned were, however, too
fright’ ned to venture out until next
day wh’n in company with several
friends tho cornfield was visited.
Every stalk of corn was found tc
ltavo beett turned into stone. Tho
field was a five-acre one, and every¬
thing upon it had been petrified even
to two pigs which had lingered upon
the ground, it is claimed that ltuti-
dteds of people have visited the place
since then, and there is no reason to
disbelieve the story as told, remarks,
ble as it is.—[Chicago Herald.
Origin of the Word “Dago.”
An Italian who noticed a paragraph
in the Oregonian a few days ago in
regard to the word “dago,” a term of
contempt often applied to Italians,
Portuguese, etc., says it is a corrup¬
tion of tho Italian word “dioo”—I say.
The Northern Italians, natives of Tus¬
cany aud Peidmont, have a fashion of
using thU word, as many 1 Americans
in narrating a story. “I says, says
I.” And so they have been styled
“dicos,” which has been corrupted
into “dago.”—[Portland Oregonian.
