GYPSY RETICENCE.
It Was >ot Proof Agrninst Charles
Godfrey Leland.
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.

Moon Sapepffthkxta.
The eclipse of the n>oon is full of portent

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 ^

their husbands, they could claim protection
under the wing of the temple.
Once across the threshold, government j
officials would not be allowed to inter- "
fere, "Still less the furious husbands. (
This "temple of divorce" was supreme
umpire on matters of matrimonial dis- >]
agreement The practice of the "privi- t
lege of the temple" was maintained for !:
over GOO years. 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

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 ! I
Borak, the animal which carried Mo- t
hammed to heaven. >

Up to the Old Tricks.
"These college boys boat me," said
St Peter ns he locked the crate for the
night.
"What's the matter now?" queried
the man who was being fitted with a
pair of wings.
"Why. I let in a hatch awhile ago.
and they no sooner got in than they
began to pitch quoits with their halos." j
