Charles Godfrey Leland, author of the "Hans Breitraann" ballads, had a passion for studying the race of gypsies and at the same time great human sympathy with them. The fact that he was the greatest living authority on the gypsy tongue and customs gave him little pleasure compared with the delight of being hailed as brother by gypsy horse traders at English fairs and gypsy musicians in Russia and Austria. One day in Philadelphia be met three dark men whom he knew to be of an ancient stock. He was quite sure that they could speak a language which contained roots of Sanskrit Hindoo and Persian. Yet they would make no /Honing nf it Thpv would. like their UAk?^iUJ V?> ?W? .. race, deny all knowledge of It as well as the fact of their gypsy blood. He addressed them in Italian, and they answered fluently. He changed to obscure tongues of the east and again they replied. "Have you got through all your languages?" he inquired at last. "Yes, signor, all of them." "Isn't there one left behind which you have forgotten? Think a minute." "No, signor; none." "What not one?" "Signor, you have seen every egg in the basket" Lefcind looked the man fbcedly in the eye and put a question in Romany. There was a startled glance from one to the other and then a silence. He { asked them, again in Romany, "Won't you talis with a gypsy brother?" That opened the gates. They shook his bands in greet emotion and tried to tell him bow happy they were in ( .having met some one who knew them. ?Youth's Companion. Moon Sapepffthkxta. The eclipse of the n>oon is full of portent to the Macedonian Mohammed * ? ? ? r i. ans. It indicates wooasoea. ic is met with reports of firearms, and the C imams call from the linarets the i faithful to public prayers in the mosques. This recalls in a striking manner the practices of many savage I and barbaric nations. The great na- I tions of Asia, such as the Hindoos and 1 the Chinese, still cling to the belief in C the eclipse monster. The latter meet it c ' ? prayers, like the Turks. But even 1 in civilized Europe, both ancient and 1 modern, one finds numerous proofs of * this superstition. The Romans came to the succor of tbe afflicted moon by flinging firebrands into tbe air. by the c blare of trumpets and tbe clang of j brazen pots. The superstition survived q through the middle ages into a very j late period. France. Wales and Ireland g offer many instances as late as the j seventeenth century. A Temple of Divorce. a So long ago as 1250 tbe wife of a Japanese regent obtained from the gov- ^ ernment permission to rescue women q from the hands of cruel husbands. The q means she took were very simple. A j new sect of Buddhism knowu as the Zen was just then being formed. In the temple of the Zen sanctuary was ^ comuiisuru iui u\.\.iu(j hjivbi t. they wished separation or divorce from their husbands, they could claim protection under the wing of the temple.

J Fa?ti About AxHmal St root-are. The complexity of animal structure is marvelous. A caterpillar contains more than 2,000 muscles. In a human body are some 2.000.000 perspiration glands, communicating with the surface by ducts, having a total length of some ten miles, while that of the arteries, veins and capillaries must be very great. The blood contains millions of corpuscles, each a structure in itself. The rods in the retina, which,, are supposed to be the ultimate recipients of j light are estimated at 30.000.000, and j lleinert Das caicmaiea mac me gray matter of the brain is built of at least 000,000,000 cells. .-v* The Animals In Heaven. According to the Mohammedan's belief, there are ten animals in heaven. These form the following strange menagerie: The calf offered by Abraham, the ox of Moses, the whale of Jonah, the ass of Baluam, the ram of Ishmael, the ant of Solomon, tlie camel of the i prophet Salech, the cuckoo of Balkis, the "dog of the"seven sleepers and A1 !
