Gypsies Celebrate Ancient Mysteries PARIS, June 20. HIS year, just as they have | done for near 2000 years, the | gypsies gathered in the Trench village close down to| the Mediterranean sea where Sarah. their saint, is buried. They do not like to talk of their religion, and the Spaniards say: The gypsy god was made of butter, and when the sun oame out it melted aw In the last days of May, down in the fortress church of the Three Saint Maries by the sea, they proved they have a re- liglon—but they keep it to them-. selves. There were only about & thousand | of them this year. for it is not the | &reat year when they elect their| king. Then the American gypsies! will be represented. and [\A-H.npsl there were some of them this for heard “English spoken” | around the blue and green and eanvas covered wagons which occu- | pled all the space between the bat- tlemented church and the sea. ‘ There were of Dbiles bringing and provisions. for never foed all tion came in carrvalls avery Kkind from dozens of around—and some of them came to prav, but not By their underground secret chapel the wheezing Httle railway which | merves the coast did its begt to mult ply trains for more and | seme pilgrims, too. | The gyps “We passed | here before any of vou.” Before there | were any Frenchmen or Gnglishmen or, for that matter.

Moreover, 1 could feel their very, very repentant tear$ dropping on me—blob—blob—blob T tqok particular joy in watching those tears. How they must suffer as they thought of the sweet young life crushed by their cruelty! As I meditated on that sweet voung life my own tears flowed in floods. There T was, all alone in the dark corner under the stairwny—while every one else was happy or busy or—Oh! Funny, isn’t it? Yes, but that isn't the funniest part. I was six when T sat in that dark corner under the stairs and wept over my late la- mented self. I'm not six now. I'm a long way from six. But there's nothing I ltke batter to do even yet than to sit down and be sorry for myself. Yes, I'm grinning about it in this article But don't you be fooled. Tomorrow afternoon when my editor gives me my dally razzing, or when I see the lady across the hall sporting out in her new furs, or when I have to walk on my feet when I don’t want to walk on them, or for any other lil' old cause, I'll want to do the very same thing—I'll want to scoot to a dark corner under the stairway and drop a tear on me! * k¥ % ELF-PITY—what a common habit it is! So common that we seldom stop to think of its menace. It lies in walt in each new home for every bride. The honeymoon has waned. That amazing, enthralling possession, a husband, has become a mere man again, a man immersed in his business. The shine is beginning to go from the furniture, the sense of adventure is wearing dull. And each day seems a little grayer and lonelier to the new wife. Then self-pity pounces! Where is this love which he sald would last forever? This morning he read the paper at breakfast—last night he worked down at the office until 11. Perhaps he wasn't work- ing at the office at all! Perhaps hd was out having & good time while she sits at home all a-l-o-n-e! All alone, after she's given up every- thing for him—everything—every- thing! Drop, drop, drop, fall the tears! "Way dack in the dark corner under the stairs a little girl is sit- ting; wishing that she'd die and then p'raps they'd be sorry! But don’t for a moment think that self-pity is monopolized by the ladies. They fall prey to it oftener than men, perhaps, because self-pity lurks in the silent places and the empty hours, and with such the home is filled. But Bdwin at the office knows quite as much of self-pity as Edith in the kitchen. ® Particularly when Eddie gets to be about forty-five. Ah, what a success he might have made of life If only he hadn't had such a load to carry at home! Not, of course, that he be- grudges them the sacrifice of his life. No, no, he is far too noble for that. Other men may be cowardly and self- ish enough to fiinch under the yoke ! natives ! brating hero ! told hundreds of years. | rated eating chickens and circulating round and round a world which is so much younger than they. Remember the native Frenchmen of this coast are all first families and oldest abitants. They are brown- kinned, dark-eyed and dark-haired, lithe und lively, descended from the aboriginal Tberians and from Greek colonists and Roman soldlers, from neighboring Celts and passing Sara- cens—as you can see by a single look at the far-famed beauties of Arles and Nimes who come down to see the gypsies' pilgrimage. But only look &t the ardent faces of bronze, ebony-haired and with flashing eves of the group of young gypsy girls who march holding proudly aloft their glistening banner to meet the bishop when he comes to bless sea and land with the silver arm that holds the relics of their own St Sarah along with those of the three t.

Much she knows about how a man has to work—tied to his desk like a slave, while she spends in one hour all he can earn in a week—never a word of thanks. Hang it all, what did a fellow get out of life anyway! Drudgery, drudgery, and never a bit of real gratitude or understanding. Self-pity grips our hero like the colic! Now there is a phase of self-pity which is really useful and advisable, If you want to pity yourself because you're cowardly and lazy and stupld and silly and clumsy and selfish, by all means proceed. Such indictments may be brought against every son or daughter of Eve, and they are truly reasons for self-pity. The more you pity yourself for these charges the better for you. But, strangely, we never drop any tears on ourselves for such causes. Nay—nay! In our dark cornerings we're always the noble innocent vic- tims, and it's the other chap, or so- clety at large, who is the villyun in the play. And as one who holds the world's record for self-pity, let me tell you, friend—when you weep over yourself you're absolutely wasting the moisture. We e 1\[ YBE you have a grievance. all have. 1It's quite possible that the boss s unfair to you, or that your wife doesn't appreciate you, or that your family didn’t give you a square deal, or that your husband is cold &nd selfish.

Fire re- | cently destroyed the landmark. | The house, located in_this vicinity, | caught fire because of a defective flue. It originally was owned by John Posey, father of Frank B. Posey, for- mer representative in Congress, and was the home of the Posey family in | the days preceding the civil war. Many escaped Slaves were hidden in its secret cellar and tunnel and as- sisted in getting to Canada, accord- Ing to old-time residents. The residence stood on a high bluff along White river, commanding a view of the surrounding country for many miles. It contained secret clos- ets, secret cellars, and in the war period a secret tunnel led to the river. ¢ Concerning Inks. NKS are gald to play an important part in the detection of forgery, especlally when question arises as to the particular time a document was penned or signed. It is clalmed that blue-black inks may be recognized as fresh up to the sixth day; and that, in after years, their age may be determined when the blue provisiona! pigment has faded and left only the black. The blue coloring, it seems, as time elapses is scarcely acted upon by re- agents, but for a year or two it will at once diffuse if treated with a 50 per cent solution cf acetic acid, whereas when it 1s five or six vears old diffusion, If it occurs at all, is ex- tremely slow and limited in extent. It is averred-that a still more useful re-agent Is a saturated solu- tion of oxalic acid that causes the rigment of relatively fresh writing to give an immediate smudge, but has very little, If any, effect upon writing six or eight years old.

ADDED possibilities for orchestral composition are revealed in a de- vice perfected by Bernard Samuels, European musician. Competent judges in the world of harmony belleve that his “aerophor” will greatly advance scoring for wind instruments by tint- ing future compositions with new and strangely beautiful harmonies, and will also prove a blessing to the musiclans themselves by saving their health and nervous energy. This instrument is said to provide a means of holding & tone indefinitely, while the performer is resting -his lungs. This is accomplished by foot pressure on a dustproof bellows. A small bellows operated by -one foot supplies the air. Connected with this is a rubber tubing which terminates in a small metal reed fastened near the mouthpiece of the instrument. Both the reed and the regular mouth- plece are held in the mouth of the musiclan. By a sort of stopcock both are controlled. SRR SO Little Milk Drunk in China. From the Savings Journal.
