"?U $&?, C The rairoad that runs between ^ Brownsville and Point Isabel, twenty- 1 ; - two miles, still retains some of its t original features that were establish- f ed by the Spanish owners. This road t was built by a syndicate in 1868 and ^ its equipment all came from Spain. t It was operated by the same meth- ^ od as the railroads of that country. ? All of its officers and employes were ^ Spaniards with the exception of the ! laborers, who were Mexicans. Even the books of the company were kept in Spanish. This road occupied for ; V , 38 years an isolated position relative j. to any other railroad in the country, , it being more than 150 miles from . i - 11 its Brownsville terminal to the nearP ; est railroad outlet. n One of the most interesting relics of the old Spanish regime of this line is the peculiar type of locomotive ^ which is still in use doing daily ser- ^ vice between Brownsville and Point Isabel. This locomotive is of the ^ upright boiler style, the miniature ^ c-ab being immediately beLind it.

C1 Most ingenious is the fountain paint brush patented by a New York man, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, g This device will not only save time \r because it does not have to be contin- ? ually dipped into a can of paint, but a it will do its work much more evenly, t] as it will always have the same g amount of paint on its brush. It is n simple, like most really ingenious ^ things. The head and handle of the ^ brush, instead of being a solid ?iece tj of wood, is hollow metal, forming a n paint reservoir. A number of per- Sj forations lead to the bristles and j? through these the paint continually leaks, keeping the br,usn always fill- ^ ed with paint, and the same amount ? V of paint. Or the brush can be made ^ with a wooden handle and with a Q removable reservoir setting into the f lii muic vi ii>.

It makes a pretty story to be ai ead and forgotten. Gripped with cl he pains of hunger, a Romany band ai uns amuck among the coast towns h >f Jersey, and after the good old m nanner of correcting sturdy beggars w ts members are beaten from tithmg i ai o tithing until they melt away be-' hi ond the borders. A social career e] n exclusive Baltimore is abandoned s( or life on the open trail until the ripsy king's consort surrenders her v< ife to motherhood, and is brought m / lome to sleep among her own people, j o] Such incidents are but the flotsam S1 >n the sea of current events. They i ti ixcite a momentary interest and the! P! ,ripsy and all his works are put out j R )f mind. And yet not one of all the:la aces of the earth is so enshrouded : a n romance and mystery, while few j o< lave exercised a more important in- ^ luence on the unfolding history of j P1 he times. | P1 Studies based chiefly upon the; tructure of their language have in j1E ecent years resulted in a common .greement that the gypsies were orig- j c* nally from India. In the first stage : w ^ _ ! S ?f their migrations tney seiuea m; he Balkan peninsula, only to be driv- j "* j n westward by wave after wave of i I "1 avading Turks. The name they gave j hemselves is derived from the word !a* torn, which simply means man, and pi tomani meaning a woman. When j ^ hey started on their great trek for j I f r he west of Europe, in the middle of, he fifteenth century, their leader Jtc ore a letter of recommendation and s<; afe conduct from the Emperor j iigismund. They were kindly re-1 I eived. In four centuries and a half, A heir characteristics have changed so ittle that, then as now, they werej tl] inkers, horsetraders, and above all,!cc II ortune tellers. It is generally agreed ( hat they were the first to bring play- j ng cards into Europe. Then as now 1 hey were natural musicians and ^ ancers. Liszt insisted that the naR* ional music of Hungary was wholly j ? ndebted to the gipsies. ! Fi But then, as now, they were petty ilferers and were soon suspected . T i.V - ln f graver crimes. In their magic inantations they invoked the name of j ulith, the generic patroness of child- g. tealing. Suspicion soon took form ^ ci severe laws against those "wicked; ! pi eople, known as Egyptians." Having | ? .0 religion of their own they were i * i m ver ready to adopt a veneer of the; ^ revailing creed, wherever they might j e. In western Europe they told a ^ eird story of having come from a ountry of their own known as Little Igypt, where they had sinned against I be light, and were on a penitential | ilgrimage. But even the church at ist had to withdraw its protection. B. 'ifty years of immunity was followed SI y four hundred years of restriction m nd sometimes of persecution. In th rermany no longer ago than 1907 of lere was a "drive" of gipsies as the fo ulmination of a long period of grow- in ig hostility. w; It was in the beginning of the fif- to jenth century that they made their hi rst appearance in England and Scot- er md. There they soon made com- at ion cause with the wandering vag- lo bonds and beggars with the result bu lat they gave an impetus to the lanuage of thieves which is one of the Pi lost interesting studies of the ety- ag lologists. The very word "slang" al as their own name for the language nc ley spoke?together with its synoym "gibberish." In Cribb's "Gip- j ies' Advocate," written in 1831, it lev ; definitely set forth: I hi "This (Gipsy) language, called by | nlnnrr /-> > oriVlVlorich 1T1- I h2 Liciliatri v diaug, ui ; ented as they think by their fore- j pl ithers for secret purposes, is not; a lerely the language of one or of a j sn 2w of these wandering tribes, but is 01 dopted by the vast numbers that inabit the earth." Such Gipsy terms sa s "bamboozle," "jockey," and "pal" ave found their way into the lan? S uage of every-day life. History and literature furnish few haracters more piquant than Bamyle Moore Carew, prince of charitans and titular king of mendicants, 'he native wanderlust was strong pon him from childhood, and in spite! sh f his gentle blood and all the ef- j jn Drts to make home attractive to: Cl] im hp fnnnd his most congenial < nc * * " - ] fV ompanionship among the English! ipsies. This aristocratic snapper-up W( f unconsidered trifles so far sur- j1( assed his tutors and companions p? hat he was chosen their chief amidst arbaric pomp. But fate and the ipstaves finally overtook him, and he gj ?*as sentenced to transportation to se he American colonies. His adven- 01 Y / AND LEGENDS.

Wheedling proprieties " ad pious pastors were all one to this ^ ever knave, who knew the sisters ! ad the cousins and the in-laws of alf the colonists, and could tell lany details of what they were doing j hen he left the mother country. At other Passmore's tavern in Boston b made many bosom cronies, who 1 aabled him to return home after a icond transportation. Far less apocryphal than the adBntures of Carew, and yet by no teans less interesting, was the life f George Borrow, who spent the i reater part of his four years in in- M mate association with the gipsies, 11 irticularly in England and Spain. H omany was but one of the twelve M .nguages he had mastered while yet 11 T- ^ 1 14.

Some of his portraits (em to be idealized, particularly hen compared with the descriptions ;t forth by that other authority, [n Gipsy Tents," but Borrow must ways remain the one name which is , :e-eminently associated with the Ee of the modern gipsy. That the roving life of the gipsy ail is conducive to longevity seems be established by the many in- ? ances which Groome has cited. He imself had talked with Betsy Leth land, who died at the age of 111. t Turney, in Brandfordshire, was iried James Smith, a gipsy king, ie inscription upon whose tomb mfirms, in part, the lines written by sigh Richmond, author of "Anals r the Poor."

By his side was buried his mother- ^ -law, who died three years later , the same ripe age of 105. These stances of longevity among the gip- G. es are curiously confirmed by the shaj irrent news. On August 22 of the deat esent year Elizabeth Lowell, a jipsy queen," died in an encamp- gher ent near Parkersburg, W.
