A Vagabond People Found All
Over the World.
-
Speculations as to their Origin, their
Wanderings and Habits,
The gypsies are a vagabond people
found in nearly all parts of the world,
They are themselves ignorant of their
origin, and no historical record exists of
their earlier migrations. So there are
different theories about them among
writers. Some consider that they came
originally from Egypt—the name pypsj
is simply a corruption of Egyptian—
others that they came from Persia, Ara¬
bia, or India. The weight of evidence
in the language, physiognomy, and habits
of this vagrant people is in favor of theii
Indian origin. There is to-day a wander
ing tribe in Upper India kuuwn as the
Zingarro, and the name of the gypsies in
the first European country which they
visited was the Zingari. St is impossible
that this similarity of names should be a
chance coincidence. Further, the first
appearance of the gypsies in Europe oc¬
curred when the Mongol conqueror,
Timour, was laying waste the fruitful
countries of Southern Asia, and marking
the trail over which his army passed with
rivers of human blood. Over 90,000
men, women, and children were slaught¬
ered in the province of Bagdad; 100,000
between the Indus and Delhi. The Zin-
garro, the tramps of Oriental society, the
poorer classes, who had no possess! ns io
excite the curiosity of the invaders, fled
in bands to the westward, while the con¬
quering party marched toward the east.
The first bands of these people came to
Italy in the first decade of the fifteenth
century. In 1422 there were about 14,-
000 of them in that country. They ma le
their first appearance in the province of
the Danube in 1417. August 17, 1427, n
hand of them came to Paris. They had
caught enough of European speech to
make themselves understood, and claimed
to be Christians who had been driven
from Egypt by the invasion of the Sara¬
cens. The Parisians were disposed to re¬
ceive them hospitably, but as they proved
to be great thieves they were soon after
expelled from the city. They continued,
however, to wander in France, and
other bands joined them. They appear¬
ed in England about 1506, and in Swed¬
en in 1514. Wherever they went they
pretended to the arts of palmistry, and
fortune-telling to get better opportunity
to cany on their thieving practices.
8pain banished them in 1492, and a cen¬
tury later renewed the decree strenuous-
ly. In England they were exiled by
specal proclamation by Henry VIII.,
and also by Elizabeth. Italy, Denmark,
Sweden, and Holland also took measures
against them. In Scotland they were
treated kindly, and efforts were made to
Civilize them, though without much sue-
cess. Germany also made like efforts,
and so did Austria, but these have only
been successful since Joseph II. of the
latter country, in 1782, made and enforced
severe laws against vagrants. There are
about 700,000 gypsies in Europe, the
most of them being in Southern Russia,
the Danubian provinces, Austro-Hungary,
and Spain. The severe laws against
them have generally been repealed. The
gypsies have intermarried but little with
other races, and the proximity of civiliz¬
ed races for four centuries and more has
made but little impression on their orig¬
inal barbarity. The language of the
gypsies, though everywhere preserving
forms of an unmistakable Indian origin,
differs greatly in different countries, as
these people are very much inclined to
incorporate words of other tongues with
their own.— Inter-Ocean.
A Dangerous Counterfeiter.
The “pen-and-ink man” is still a mys¬
tery to the officers of the secret service,
says a Washington letter to the Boston
Traveller. The most strenuous efforts
have been made to catch him, but he has
eluded their vigilance so far, and there is
not the slightest trace of his identity or
locality. The “pen-and-ink man” is the
person known in police circles who makes
counterfeit money with pen and ink so
cleverly as to pass it without detection.
The secret service has about fifty speci¬
mens of his handiwork which have passed
the scrutiny of the bank clerks and tell¬
ers, and been detected by the experts of
the national bank redemption agency of
the treasury department. The “pen-and-
ink man” devotes most of his time to
twenties and fifties. He lias made a few
$10 notes, but the bulk of those captured
are of the denominations indicated. The
secret service officers believed for a long
-time that the “pen-and-ink man” was
eomc expert who merely employed his
(leisure time in counterfeiting. They
have given up that theory and are now
firmly convinced that he is making a
•living at it. The reason given for this
is that the officers have information that
he produces one of these counterfeits
each week, which returns him only fair
■wages. “The pen-and-ink man” is a
wonderful expert, and his is an instance
of a man who prefers doing wrong at less
wages than he could earn by doing right
in a respectable avocation.
Postponed.
“Gentleman,” said a college president
at a meeting of the Facualty, “we must
take means at once to stop thc game ot
foot-ball. It is bringing our grand old
institution into disrepute.”
Just then a great noise was heard out¬
side, and the president demanded the
cause of it.
“News has just been received,”
plained one of the younger professors
apologetically, “that our men have
wrested the foot-ball championship from
Princeton.”
“Good 1” shouted the president, flush-
ling with excitement, “I didn’t dare b^pe
it. I think gentleman, we had bette- n«t
(be too—er—hasty in this--matter.” i. v .
FOR THE FARM A!fl> HOMO
I nrtli in «h* Ntnblr.
Nothing will purify and keep a
so free from odors as the free use of
earth, and every one keeping horses or
pattle will find it pays to keep a lieap of
it at hand, to be used daily, A few
shovelfuls of earth scattered over tho
floor a ftcr cleaning will render the air of
the apartments pure and wholesome.
The value of the season’s ntanuro pile

of surh absorbents. The strength of tho
gasses and liquids absorbed is retained,
and is the very essence of good manure,

The Breeding IIor.
in the breeding animul of whatever
bind, the digestive organs should be a
paramount consideration, for without di-
gestion the animal cannot successfully
accomplish the uses for which he is inten-

importance. In addition to this, if the
ftniraal P 0SSC88e8 the lowing character¬
istics, as condensed from the endorse¬
ment of the National Swine-Breeders’
Association, the ideal standard will have
been secured:
“Such a hog must have a small, short
head, heavy jowl, and thick, short neck;
ear small, thin, and tolerably erect, but
it is not objectionable if it droops slightly
forward. He must be straight on the
bottom, from the neck back to flank, let
well down to the knee in the brisket,and
possess good length from head to tail;
back broad and slightly curved,or arched
from the shmjlder to the setting of the
tail; ribs rather barrel-shaped; tail
small. The hams should be long from
the back to the letting off at the loin,
and be broad and full; shoulders not so
large, and yet sufficient to give symme-
tr v t0 the anima): hair Mn,K " h and evenl y

set on ’ sklu soft aud dast Jj to the touch;
legs short, fine, and set under the body,
and the space between wide, Then a
good depth between the bottom and top
of carcass will give an ideal hog.
Fresh Meat in Winter for Farmers.
I think farmers ought to form clubs to
supply each other with beef from No-
vember to April, at least when the
weather is such that it can be kept fresh
for days or weeks. Eight or ten farmers
could kill a beef occasionally and divide
among them, or probably the better way
would be to form a stock company and
open a meat shop in the village, and sell
to all who would buy, and then divide
the profits between the stockholders. At
any rate, it is an outrage for farmers to
sell good cattle at $3.50 per hundred,
and pay 10 cents per pound for neck and
p ] at c pieces, and 15 for steaks and roasts,
and there ought to be some way devised
to prevent the extortion. Farmers might
be ill(kp( , n(k , nt cf butchers through the
wintcr) at least if they wouia> and on

and often we can keep it fresh for weeks,
but whenever there comes a thaw we put
it down in sweet pickle and think is
as good as fresh beef. To make the
sweet pickle we use to each gallon of
water one aud a half pounds of salt and
one pint of molasses, or three-quarters of
a pound of brown sugar .—National Stock-

A fanner thinks he has discovered that
the common larkspur is fatal to the po¬

plant it numerously among potato vines.
Dry salt is likely to take the place of
lime water for preserving eggs. Those

Seth Green thinks a profit can be de¬

He claims that they would destroy many

Prof. W. J. Beal says that washing the
grain of seed wheat in blue vitriol to pre¬
vent rust is no more effectual than smok¬
ing cigars to cure corns on the feet. Bust

A ton of bran fed with two tons of hay
is worth as much as four tons of hay fed
alone to either horses, cattle or sheep.
The relative prices of bran, compaired
with hay, must be taken into considera¬
tion, however, as to the economy of feed¬
ing bran.
Thc heaviest geese on exhibition at the
Birmingham show was a pair of White

Chickens to thrive must be comforta-
^le <d v an ^ "iffbt, and if they are corn-
-
fortable they will thrive. Make the
apartments cleau, dry and warm, and if
chickens arc lousy do not daub their
heads with grease, but kerosene their

Corn is cheap, and as a consequence it
does not pay to send half-fat sheep to
market. The man who would do so un-
dcr the prcsenl condition of the gr a i n and
mutton market must be considered some-
what drficient in j ud g men t. Feed the
thrifty wethers the cheap corn and make
them fat.
Professor Shelton says in last Industri¬
alist: We never fully appreciated the
great value of straw to the stock-farmer
until we owned a thresher, and were thus
enabled to thresh often, and thus fre-
quently supply the animals with good
fresh straw. Our cattle now consume
greedily and without waste all the straw
furnished them.
It is well known that bees kept in one
hive f " • sre pi on ’sense
and thc attacks of worms. There was
reason in the old practice of taking up a
portion of the older hives every year,
though with improved hives the bees can
be transferred to new quarters and thus
renew their lease of life.
1 'Prune in winter for wood and in sum¬
mer for fruit.” But do not prune too
much. Just enough do let in sufficent
light and air to give the leaves their fair
quota is right. A good rule is, when
you see a limb interfering with another,
out with it, whatever the time of year.
When the sap is in full flow wounda will

Stone fences are endurable during the
first few years after their construction,
but when they begin to crumble they are
difficult to repair. They are expensive
and never entirely satisfactory. It is de¬
sirable to have fences, if any, tlu^^you
can remove at will; and a stone wall,
whether new or old, is immovable except
at the expenditure of a vast amonnt of
labor.
A correspondent of the Western Rural
claims to have discovered by the aid of a
powerful microscope the cause of the
disease known as potato scab. He finds
the liquid portion of a scabby potato
swarming with living organism, microbes,
but whether ns cause or effect he is as yet
uncertain. He believes salt a partial pre¬
ventive and that rank green manures in¬
vite the disease.
In the horse, a good width between
the eyes, the eyes prominent but placid,
with a good height from the eye to the
ear, indicates intelligence. If the fore¬
head is prominent and smooth it indicates
a mild, equable temper. A round, rather
long barrel indicates good digestion; a
double loin, strength; and oblique
shoulder, surefootedness. With flat,
hard bones, long in the arm, speed is in¬
dicated.
Barley (ground into meal) and potatoes
are recommended as a most excellent food
for making sweet and healthful pork; the
potatoes being first boiled and the barley
meal added to the hot water with the
potatoes and all mashed together so as to
make a thick mush. To this might be
added as much buttermilk or skimmed
milk as can be appropriated to this use,
which is one of the best and most profit¬
able ways of utilizing it.
Fat in an animal is not necessarily a
sign of disease, and a tendency to take
on fat is not to any great extent an ab¬
normal one. Yet there is a limit within
which the tendency to take on fat is nor¬
mal. There is such a thing as fatty de¬
generacy, by which all the tissues become
impaired and tho animal weakly and
worthless. Fowls can be made so fat
that they will not lay well, or if they do
lay their eggs will not hatch well.
A chicken, if properly treated, should
continue to grow without interruption
from thc time it is hatched until it is
fully matured. The most common cause
of stunted chickens is not want of food,
as might be supposed, but is usually
owing to unsuitable quarters in which
they are kept, and which are either filthy,
cold or damp, if not positively wet.
This condition of things produces disease
and lice, which alone would stop their
growth, if indeed, it did not stop their
breath.
IIousel)old Hints*
A goifl way to clean an iron sink is to
rub well with a cloth wet in kerosene oil.
Glaze the bottom crust of fruit pies
with white of an egg and they will not
get soggy.
Whole cloves are now used to extermi¬
nate moths, and are better for that pur¬
pose than either tobacco, camphor, or
cedar shavings.
By rubbing with a damp flannel dipped
in the best whiting, the brown discolora¬
tion may be taken off cups in which cus¬
tards have been baked.
If T - have i not . windows, . , do . not .
you sunny
attempt to ep e g plants. Te
west windows may always be a delight if
the plant stand be tilled with aspidistra,
ivy, begonias, and varieties of fern which
only require light.
The German method of getting rid of
rats: A mixture of two parts of well
bruised common squills and three parts of
finely chopped bacon is made into a stiff
mass, with as much meal as may be re¬
quired, and then baked into small cakes,
which are put down for the rats to eat.
It proves an exterminator.
Recipes*
Potatoes Fried in Cream .—Chop cold
boiled potatoes, season with salt and
pepper. For the cream, one pint of
boiling milk, one tablespoon of butter,
same of flour. Use just cream enough to
moisten the potatoes. Make into flat
cakes and fry brown in hot fat, on all
sides.
Hickory Nuts Maccaroons. These are
very easy to make. Two cupfuls of
hickory nut meats; beat them fine in n
mortar and add two cups of sugar, four
tablespoonfuls of flour and three eggs,
Mix well together and bake on a well
greased paper, Put only a little of tho
mixture in each place.
Fried Apples .—Fried apples make a
nice entree. Cut across the core in slices
and then brown in lard, or butter and
lard mixed, drain and serve them hot.
They make a nice garnish for roast pork
when prepared in this wav. Some cooks
use beef drippings instead of lard and
like the flavor better.
Pickled Eggs .—Pint strong vinegar,
half pint cold water, one teaspoon each
of cinnamon, allspice and mace; boil
the eggs very hard and take off the shell;
put on the spices in a white muslin bag,
in the cold water, boil, and if the water
wastes away, add enough to leave a half¬
pint when done; add the vinegar and,
pour over the eggs, putting in as many
as can be covered. When used, heat the
mixture and pour over another lot. Or
place eggs in a jar of beet pickles and
cat in two in nerving.

Twenty-five years ago a London dealer
in birds and wild animals received an
order for a nut-cracker (Nucifraga cary-
ocatactes). These birds belong to a
group of ravens and are found in Amer¬

They are common in Sweden, but rarely
found in Norway. And yet the dealer
was not able to get a live specimen
until a few days ago, when an agent
forwarded him a pair in apparently
healthy condition.
Grant on Horseback.
In January, 1862, I went to Cairo.
The place was slough without limits, and
the human elements that wiggled in the
mud-hole were a bad lot. The regiments
were mostly of newly enlisted men, dis¬
cipline had no existence, whisky supplied
the place of water and nearly everybody
was drunk, getting on a drunk, or get¬
ting over a drunk. There appeared to be
nobody in particular who was in authori¬
ty. Occasionally mention was made of
Grant, but not exactly as if he were any¬
thing more than a rumor, a myth, or
something of a wholly intangible nature.
Soon after my arrival a body of troops
commenced crossing the Ohio ltiver, and
the report went forth that it was a move
against Columbus. I could obtain no
horse, and accompanied the columns on
foot. The weather was damp and nip-
pingly cold, the mud deep, and the route,
which was mainly through a timbered
country, was obstructed by logs and fallen
trees. I struggled on through the mire,
and under thc dripping branches, till
about 3 in the afternoon, when suddenly
there was a lively commotion a short dis¬
tance to the front. I saw a mounted
force approaching on a full gallop. The
leader was a short, thick-set man, slightly
bent in the shoulders, with a reddish,
close-trimmed beard, tight-set lips, with
eyes that were apparently without expres¬
sion. He gazed straight ahead into va¬
cancy as if he were in a dream, and as he
rushed by splashed gallons of mud from
his horse’s feet all over me from hat to
heel. The leader with the trancelike ex¬
pression, the firm-set lips, and look fixed
intently upon nothing was Gen. Grant.
It was my first view of the man who af-
terward rose to the leadership of the ar-
mies of the republic. His return was the

when 1 met him almost every day and
'fight did he in the least vary from the
mysterious, abstracted, trancelike appari-
tion that dashed out from the murky
depth of the timber and then disappeared,
He was always wrapped up in himself.
When he rodp through the lines he gazed
stolidly to the front, looking neither to
the right nor left, and seemingly paying
no more attention to the regiments he
was passing than if they were a thousand
miles away. The soldiers would look at
him curiously, wonderingly, never get-
ting a suggestion from the immobile face,
the inscrutable features. When he rode
along there was in the event and its en-
vjronment something of the awe, the
solemnity of a funeral procession,— F.
