In writing In Uygela of the habits of gypsy tribes, comment! as follows on their use of water as a preven tive of disease. "The gypsy believes la. the cura tive qualities of water. When a child la bora It la Immediately Im mersed In running water. When some one la 111 he la given water- cold water, bot water, water all tbe time; water against headaches, as a cure for rheumatlam and all old age complaints. When a man I over sixty they say: lie la drink ing old age water.' "They use water to cure Ilia of horses and cattle and sheep. Even their incantations for happiness, tlielr love potions and hate potions are all water. Naturally a deal of hokum goea with It. Water la their religion, their witchcraft. Many a gypsy baa told me the reason gyp sies move from one place to an other is because they are going to better and better waters to swiftly running waters. ' "The gypsies use no drugs of any kind; not even herbs, dried or boiled. Next to wster, their other remedy Is fat lard, grease and but ter. They apply that to wounds after washing them. Water, grease and sunshine begins the gypsies' prayer to Tchluma. the mother of the world." Two Theories at to Origin of "Gazette" There are two theories as to the origin of "gazette." It seems thsf the first newspaper so called waa published at Venice In tbe Sixteenth century. According to one theory, the paper waa lasued at Venire by the government and came out In manuacrlpf once a month during the war of 1S63 between the Vene tians and the Turks. Tbe paper was read publicly In certain places and the fee charged for healing It read was one "gazetta," which waa a smsll Venetian coin worth a frac tion of a cent. Hence the paper came to be called the "gazetta" and finally the "gazette." If this derivation la correct It la parallel to tbat of "Jitney" aa applied to a bne which carries peasengera for a "Jitney," or a nickel. According to the other theory, "gazette" as applied to the Venetian paper Is derived from "gazza," a niagple. Hence It might have been a fltllng name for a newspaper. Pathfinder. Tracti and Track . Uncle Bill Walker, who lived at the foot of Great Smoky, became an eaay convert to the propaganda of Mormon missionaries. His broth er, Sammle. an old magistrate of considerable means and great influ ence In tbe coves of the Smokies, was eagerly sought after aa a "prospect." Squire Sammle was sitting on his front porch one afternoon when two elders of the new faith came up from the road. "Brother Walker," one of them began courteously, "we have come to tell you about tbe Chnrch of the Latter Day Saints, and we should like to leave some tracts for you to look over." "That's all right, gentlemen." the old mountnineer replied without even inking hla pipe from hla mouth, "You-uns la welcome to lenve all the Irncks you want to.

The nrst and Inst born are mora likely to attain eminence. The more children a mother has the longer she lives and the longer she Uvea, the longer the children Uve. Children of professional people lawyers, physicians and the like have a better chance for fame than those born to wealth or those whose parents lacked educational advan tages. The offspring of fathers nnder thirty-one are more likely to become soldiers; artists come from fathers between thirty-one and forty; be tween forty-one and fifty there Is more of a tendency toward states men ; over fifty-one come the philos ophers like Confucius. Bacon and irrnnklln. Ninety per cent of the Investi gated criminal cases show them ro he the offspring of younger parents. If your father Is more than elxtv. and you are the youngest child In a large fumlly you should become famous. A Doctor's Life The doctor sent a bill for Hit) to the terrlble-temered Mr. Bangs. The bill read: "Two visits 110." "You're a robber." said Mr. Bangs. "Five dollars a visit I It Isn't worth It." "I'll rewrite the bill." said the doctor and Bsngs smiled. They couldn't put anything like that over on him. Then the doctor wrote: "To get-tlr- out of bed at 2 s. m., snvwerlng telephone, disturbing wife, dressing, going to garage, cranking tin Lis sle,' two-mile drive In the cold, sav ing baby'a life, return to garage, waking wife, nndresslng, getting bark into bed I0." He said to Bangs: T wont make any charge for the second visit, and you need not pay for the first un less you feel I have earned the money." Mr. Bangs paid the bill. Boston Globe. v Mm Hat Uort Than One Gripped England Tbe story of famines la England has been glomy one from earliest times. At the beginning of ths Eighth century a dearth, which extended to Ireland, drove men to cannibalism. It was not until tbe reign of A eili tired the Unready, however, that "such a famine prevailed aa no maa can remain tier, from tuuo to 1016. - Those chroniclers who were wont to see bad conditions at their worst, says the National Geographic Maga zine, declared that bulf tbe popula tion of tbe larger laland perished. But It must bo remembered that much of the mortality of this period wss occasioned by the wars between Aetbelred and Sweyn the Dans, the latter being forced by tbe famine to retire from England for a time. Naturally, tha era following the advent of William tbe Conqueror waa one of widespread starvation sad pestilence among the English peasantry. During the last SO years of the Eleventh century, sins wars years of dire distress. So great was tbe Jeartn In 1069 that the peasants of tbe north, un able longer to secure dogs and horses to appeaas tbslr hunger, sold themselves into slavery In order to bo fed by their masters. All tbe land between Durham and York lay waste, without Inhabitants or people to till the soil for nine years, says Beverly, and another writer accuses the destitute of can nibalism. "Dead Shots" Devoted ' Much Time to Practice I had a man with mo In Texas and New Mexico surveying for Santa Fe who knew a thing or two about drawing a gun, Louis G. Mil llkln writes in Adventure Maga zine. I bare seen him put bis hands oa his head, have another man throw up a can, draw, bit It with both right and left gun and return guns to scabbard before It had reached the top of tbe throw about 15 to 20 feet (or at least before it had stopped going np from the lilts). Ia my estlrostlon st that time he was a marvel with a six-gun and, though I have seen others, I never saw his equal. Mis name was Jack Median. Tbe reasons why gunmen of the "Wild Days" were such experts at tbe draw and shot, even with tbe old Frontier Colt, was simply that they spent as much If not more time In practicing the draw and shot as some of our eminent musi cians spend practicing their art Within and Without Why should I hasten to solve every riddle which life offers met I sm well assured that the Questioner who brings me so many problems will bring the answers also In due lime. Very rich, very potent, very cheerful giver tbat He Is, He shall have It all His own way, for me. Why should I give np my thought, because I cannot anawer an objec tion to It ? Conalder only whether It remains In my life the same ns It was, Thnt only which we have within, can we see without. If we meet no gods. If Is because we har bor none. If there Is grandeur In you, you will And grandeur In por ters and sweeps. He only Is rightly Immortal to wbom all things are Ira mortal. I have read somewhere that none Is accomplished so. long as any are Incomplete: that the happiness of one cannot consist with the misery of any other. Emerson. Reputation It would be well if character and reputation were used distinctively. In truth, character Is what s per son Is; repute tion le what he Is supposed to be. Character Is In himself, reputation la In tbe minds of others. Character Is Injured by temptations, and by wrong-doings; reputation, by slanders and libels. Character endures throughout def amation in every form, but perishes when there Is s voluntary trans gression; reputation may last tnrougn numerous transgressions, but be destroyed by a single, and even an unfounded, accusation or aspersion.

Henry Is said to have re moved Rosamond to a labyrinth la Woodstock park, where hla wife discovered her and obliged her to take poison. Some authors declare that the fair Rosamond died at Goodatow nqanery, near Oxford. She had two sons by Henry, Wil liam, surnamed Longaword, and Jeffry, archbishop of York.
