The whereabouts of President d'Arriaga still is unknown. Special dispatches assert that the > uprising is not a monarchical movek . ment, but one organized in protest by F the party of Dr. Affonso Costa, former premier, against recent government measures. It is declared that, although mutinies occurred among the crews of several of the Portuguese warships, the army is absolutely loyal. k Clothes Cycles. T The cycle of clothes completes it- j " self with a regularity almost as unvarying as that of the seasons; but it . takes years instead of months for the . old fashions to recur, says the Phila- t , delpkia Evening Ledger. When na- . ture made a rose she looked upon it , and pronounced it good. She reproduces it year after year in unvarying fashion, but man is not content with the cut of his coat for two seasons in * s succession. This is why it takes so long for the old fashions to reappear. , They have to be forgotten by the mas6 before they can come back; even in a form at ail suggestive of their first estate. Let us take the cutaway coat as a , ^ type. Twenty-five or thirty years ago every young man owned one. It was s usually made of diagonal worsted and the edges were hound with braid. s The leneth of the tails and the nura- "J b ber of buttons varied from season to season, unchanged for several years. Then it disappeared, though y hot-house specimens were occasionally seen. And the fashion of binding men's coats with braid went with it. But a year or two ago the cutaway coat came back. The early examples were rare as the first flowers of spring that show themselves when the sun i /*' begins to warm the sheltered places. ' But this year we are told that every I man who wishes to be well dressed must have one, and they are all braidbound, after the manner of their predecessors of the last century. They > will be the predominating style in all 0*. the churches tomorrow and every well-dressed man on the board-walk at Atlantic City will be clad in a cut away. The cycle has completed itself. Xext season we may expect the skin-tight trousers to appear, for they completed the costume of the ( - ' - " ?* Jrr.Q man or iEsnion in mat iai~uu uu^ when the newly recurring styles last prevailed, and when the dandy, once known as a fop and earlier called a beau, was characterized as a "dude." , Women's fashions recur also, and some observers of the human comedy are so bold as to insist that the wornen give to their Easter hat almost as ; braid-bound ciltaway coat. .

"Europe has still today one utterl} peaceful people, a people peaceful ir action, in intent, and of peaceful con teniplation." says a bulletin issuet by the National Geographic society a' Washington. "According to pres: dispatches, this race is the only sucl race. but. then, it is one of the mosl peculiar peoples in the world's his tory?the gypsies. "Entering iiiio the liie of all na tions under the sun, yet a part of nc jingle one: mingling themselves with in the highest civilization, yet unlet' tered: pilgrims upon an eternal path yet forever true to the ties of racia blood and to customs whose origir and significance have heen fully for ?nfrpn the evosies is the most mys terious of all the strange elements 3f folkclont. "Whence they came has never beet! settled lo a certainty. All mannei 3f fables have been spun to explaic their origin. Since they first appeared upon the stage of Europe ir the Middle Ages, they have beer identified with the Lost Tribes of Israel. the "mixed multitude' that followed -Moses out of Egypt, the Caaaanites, the Amorites, the Saracens tnd the Egyptians. Some have helc them to be the Children of Cain, anc jthers have decided that they were the children of the Wandering Jew tnd inheritors of the restless curse )f their father. "The gypsies, themselves, have lever professed to know who the> \-nra ni- whore thov MI11P from. bU< hey have shown great readiness tc iccept the conclusions on this subject of the people among whom they ived. It was not until the growth oi comparative philology and the chance nvestigation of the gypsies' tongue n the beginning of the last century, hat scientists concluded the gypsies :o be a wandering low-caste tribe rom northern India. Their language learly resembles Sanscrit, the founlation tongue of all our western languages which has held itself purest n Indian sources."This language they have wonder'ully preserved in the face of overnastering cultures and enternal wanlerings. This has not been aceom)lished by a literature or by a close corporation. The gypsies have nc iterature. and their language is an mwritten one, while they, themselves, are scattered in small bands >ver the whole face of the earth, mattered even more widely than the rew. The gypsy calls himself 'rom,' neaning man, 'the man' of all men. -lis- wife is 'romni:' his folk life is romnipen." and his language is romani.' Everyone not of his race onie under the generic term of 'genile.' "Gypsy folk present the strangest >roblems known to philology and ethlographv. An elementary, nomadic oik persisting for centuries in the nidst of complex civilization, they iave retained their physical characeristics, their tribal rules and cusoras reminiscent of their far-distant >xtra-European past, their highly nflected language," and their thou?and years of fever for roving. They ire absolutely singular and without dose parallel among the peoples of ?arth. "Gypsy religion and gypsy aspiraion may be summed up in two lines 'rom the works of the German poet, 5oethe: 'To give room for wandering is it, That the world was made so wide.' This folk entered Europe by way >f Constantinople in the 12th cenury, and overflowed into the northern Balkans. Hungary, central and vestern Europe. England, and. thence o North and South America. The English called t'nern Egyptians, after heir supposed origin, whence the lame 'gypsy.' They reached Gernany in about 1417 and England ibout 1500. At first they were treat?d kindly by the western nations, but heir strangeness., their unconvenionality, their light-fingered ways, heir proneness for fortune-telling, leeromaney. black magic, and their jnwillingnoss for work in all forms, ;oon called down upon them bitter rersecution in Germay, England. France and the Netherlands. In the Balkans. Russia. Hungary and Poand. they were well treated, and hey are found in these countries in treat numbers today. It is estimat>d that Europe has more than 900,>00 gypsies." HERE IS KTHXOCKXTKHTSM. *.\ Specifically Human Sentiment," Prof. Keller Assures l"s.

I John Henry Eiffert, native of Lex| ington, this State, residing now at | Webbers Falls. Oklahoma, is probably the oldest of living Confederate veterans, having been born in October, 1S1 4. more than 100 years ago. Robert T. Hanks, of Oklahoma, contributes to the Confederate Veteran (Nashville) a sketch of the venerable former Carolinian, as follows: "As patriotic citizen, father, and friend, there is not one more' worthy of honorable mention, more highly j esteemed, nor held in more veneration by the community in which he has lived since 1S69 than John Hen l rv Eiffert, supposed to be the oldest . living veteran in the State of Okla. honia. He was born in Lexington. . S. C.. October 1, 1814. In 1830 he was conducting a merchandise business in Mc.Minn and Bradley counties. East Tennessee, on the Hiwassee river, some 40 miles above Chattanooga. Ten., when the 'Poor Los," or Cherokees. were compelled by Uncle Sam to take up their sad and enforced march to the then wilderness in the far West. In 184S he was married to a Cherokee lady by blood, the widow of Dr. Robert T. Hanks, who [ was .Margaret Ann Ward Morgan, a I daughter of Col. Gideon Morgan, who . commanded the Cherokees in the bat tie of the 'Horse Shoe' under Gen. . Andrew Jackson, and a cousin of the late Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala> bama. "Mr. Eiffert went to California dur; ing the gold fever, but failed to cap, ture any part of Dame Fortune's es. tate and returned to his farm and milling interests in Tennessee, where ; he remained until the tocsin of war , sounded and the first gun echoed . from Fort Sumter. Shouldering his , old musket, he joined the second ; company raised in his town, under ? command of his son-in-law, Capt. . Wellington W. McClelland, and was . in the 29th Tennessee regiment under . Gen. Zollicoffer, this brave officer ; falling early in the struggle. Afterwards he followed the fortunes of . war under Gen. Kirby Smith and later . on was transferred to the quarter. master's department at J\noxville, . Tenn.. where he remained an active . and efficient aid throughout all the i thrilling and eventful years of the i war. "He was within reach of stray buli lets during several bloody battles. but fortunately escaped injury. He i was under fire all day in the famous i battle of Lookout Mountain, having I been sent down the hill for supplies i early in the morning, and the engagei ment was on before he got back. . Of this, in one of his reminiscent . talks, he said: 'It was a moving picture show that I had a free ticket to : see. And when the curtain fell and . audience and actors were to go, I > did not stand on the order of my go> ing, but went and have never cared to visit Lookout since, not even at a reunion.' "Mr. Eiffert is one hundred years and five months old and is able to read the newspapers and keeps posted on the European war. He is in good health, goes regularly to his meals, and helps about the house by carrying in stove wood and making fires." , ed by the Macmillan company, says the Boston Globe. Explained scientifically, ethnocentricism indicates a kind of expanded self-conceit very much supplemented by superciliousness. As the eccentrics of old time believed everything was subordinated to the earth, so our modern ethnocentrics cling to. the idea that only . their division of mankind has any right to count. To have ethnocen, tricism means to be convinced that , only your set, community, State, na. tion or race is at the top, and that , from such exclusive elevation it is . entitled to look down upon the world at large. Now, that would seem an abnormality were we not assured by Prof. Keller that ethnocentricism is "a specifically human sentiment" common to modern society everywhere, an. cient and modern, civilized and savage. There are plenty of primitive , tribes still surviving who call themselves " men." denying that title , to all not of their own group. The cultured Greeks regard races unable to speak their language as barbarians, and up to a few years ago it was general in China to describe the incoming whites as "foreign devils"? an epithet which has not yet passed away with the arrival of the derby and the vanishing of the pigtail. What have Europeans and Americans to show in their own up-to-date countries?
