T J 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 ma y he largely increased by the freo use of surh absorbents. The strength of tho gasses and liquids absorbed is retained, and is the very essence of good manure, Scientific American. 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- ^ c< *- ^e k°g ^is is of the utmost 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 Eastview farra we are .

About the time winter geta jn we kill a young) fat heifer> 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- man. Farm and harden note*. A fanner thinks he has discovered that the common larkspur is fatal to the po¬ tato bug. He proposes next year to plant it numerously among potato vines. Dry salt is likely to take the place of lime water for preserving eggs. Those preserved in salt are not affected by that disagreeable flavor often found in those from the lime pit. Seth Green thinks a profit can be de¬ rived from marshy lands by raising frogs. He claims that they would destroy many insects, while in some markets the frogs are salable at good prices. 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 and smut, however, are very different things. 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 Embdens weighing forty-eight pounds twelve ounces. The largest pair ever ex¬ hibited since the show was organized weighed forty-nine pounds and were of the above variety. 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 b ouscs thoroughly, 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 heal over quickest. 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. CLIPPINGS FOR THE CTBICCSf The largest American cannon throws s 1,080-pound ball. An expression of endearment current in years gone by was “tf bite the car.” In old phraseology the word blood was popularly used for disposition or temper¬ ament. There are firms in New York and Philadelpnia who hire out clean cuffs and collars. The Greenlanders bury with a child a dog to guide it in the other world, say¬ ing: “A dog can find his way any¬ where.” Various superstitions have at different times clustered round thc hand. Thus in palmistry a moist one is said to denote an amorous constitution. Brawl was the name of an English dance. It appears that several persons united bands in a circle, and gave one another continual shakes, the steps changing with the tune. A husking match in Waubaunsee county, Kansas, for a purse of $100, was won by John Tull, who husked forty-five bushels twelve pounds in three hours, against forty-two bushels five pounds by his competitor. The contest took place in a field. A record of six hundred births shows that a little more than half the number occurred between 6 a. m. and (1 p. m. —the greatest number during any one hour being between 7 and 8 a. in., and the least number, twelve, occurred be¬ tween 12 m. and 1 p. m. 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¬ ica and on the Himalaya Mountains. 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 signal ^ for a countermarch.

Inever timing the long period 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. R wukie in Chicago Times. Easily Avoided. M. and Mme.
