WAYS OF GYPSIES
These Queer People Are the Same
Ail Over the World.
A RACE WITHOUT A NATION.
Originally From India, Now Outoasts
' In Every Land In Which They Live,
They Are Natural Rogues, Without
Laws, Literature or Religion.
The gypsies are the most uuchanglng
race lu the world. Wherever they are
found and the; ure found everywhere,
from I'ersln to Mexico, from central
Africa to Slberla-they are the same,
a race of outcasts. denpUed by the peo
ple among whom they dwell, yet keep
ing their own ideal uuchanged, true to
their burburlc luw. Jealous of stran
gers, clever enough to make a living
from the weaknexaea and foolishnesses
of the people wbo despise tbem. Cli
mate seems to make no difference to
tbem.
In all environments tbey remain un
changed, the suiue sharp faces, the
same black, keen. Inscrutable eyes; the
same bronzed skin; change In food or
conditions of living make no mark on
tbem. and tbey only take on the cus
toms or beliefs or costumes of other
ruces in order the better to cheat and
fleece theui-a race without national
ity, without laws, without a literature,
without a religion, for It is said that
In their tongue there Is no word for
God. none for the soul, none for Im
mortality. Where did they come from? From
Bohemia, say the French, but tbey are
not really Bohemians nor more nu
merous there than elsewhere; from
Egypt, tbey sometimes say themselves,
to get a better price for tbelr sooth
saying. But there Is nothing genuine
ly Egyptian about them. In reality
tbey came from India. Tbelr arrange
language shows that Jealously guard
ed from the knowledge of strangers. It
baa yet been learned little by little,
and comparison ahowa it is full of Hin
du words, words that you may bear
even now all over India. '
Surprising, perhaps, at Bret blush,
that there should be millions or low
caste or outcast Hindus scattered all
over Europe and even wandering
tbrougb tbe byways of America, but
only strange because we do not think
about It. In reality Europe Is full of
Asiatic peoples. For long centuries
tbey. came pouring In. especially
through tbe gate between tbe Oral
mountains and tbe Caspian sea. Tbe
bitter proverb. "Scratch the Russian
and you Hud tbe Tartar." may remind
il that the great Tartar Invasion, un
der the grandson of Gbengis Khan.
conquered ali e.iKtern linrupe and set
tled the Tartar tribesmen all down tbe
vast Volga vulley. across tbe steppes
and along t lie snore or tbe Bluck sea.
I'lie Huns n nd tile Turks are also Asi
atics, as are older peoples, like the
Finns' So all eastern Europe Is soak
ed with Asiatic blond, and ir so many
IKNiples rame from northern Asia why
should It be Incredible that one nice
should come from southern Asia?
It seems probtible that tbe gypsies
drifted Into Europe In tbe wake ol (
Butl Khsu's Invasion, wben be came
down on Russia with bis vast locust
swarms of Tartar horsemen. 500.000 In
number. The gypsies came from cen
tral Asia, whither tbey bad been driv
en from India by the implacable and
destructive Invasion of Mabmud of
Ghuznl. about 0OO years ago. It was
about lXJft that bati Khan and bis lo
enst swarm began to devastate Eu
rope. And a century later roving bands
of xypslew were scattered through east
ern Kurope Wallacbta. Moldavia, Bui
irnrtu. My MIT a borde of gypsies made
their aiMH-arauce la northwestern Ger
many, claiming to be Christian pil
grims from "Little Egypt" but their
Christianity was about as genuine as
tbelr Egyptian origin. Tbelr thievish,
vagabond character was already man
ifest then, and tbey were driven from
northern Germany to begin their per
petual wanderings tbrougb every Eu
ropean country and in due time to
cross over to America In the wake ol
tbe white races

they first appeared some six centuries

a quarter and a half a million of them.
In Transylvania there are a hundred
thousand more, while Servln and Bul

to a hundred thousand eacb. The con

slew were terribly oppressed They
were captured aud held as slaves and
were treated with savage "brutality.
They lived In utter squalor and wretch
edness and misery, nakedness and
tilth, .lower than many of tbe lowest
savages. Happily.- however, . King
Charles ronipletely removed the last
vestiges of this reproach from bis
country, and the Roumanian gypsies
are nnv completely emanclpated.-Ilarter'.

LEARNING JUJUTSU.
1
0ns Lesson Is to Be Strangled and
Than Resuscitated.
Mastery of the art of Jujutsu requires
a drilling such as no boxer, fencer,
runnel' or rower would need to under
take. Tbe mind "must permeate tbe
entire body from the bend to tbe ex
tremities," and to this end tbe body
must first be brought under absolute
control. The pupil is Inured to tbe two
extremes of beat and cold, and tbe
virtue of perseverance la cultivated by
special exercises for the aummcr aud
special exercise for tbe winter, says
the author of "The Fighting Spirit of
Japan." For tbe former tbe hottest
month of the yean, August, and the
hottest time of the day, from 1 p. mT,
are chosen, and for tbe latter, com
mencing In January, the pupils start
wrestling nt 4 In tbe morning and keep
It tip until 7 or 8. ""
Two great i-otnpetltlona are held lu
the year, and In these historic con
tests "It Is quite a common thing for
400 couples to participate." "Speaking
from long personal experience," says
Mr. Harrison. "1 can state that the
shohu' Is a genuine mental as well as
physical ordeal for the participant In
the case of the more advanced stu
dents, who come on' at a later bonr,
there Is all the borror of anticipation
to be contended against Aa one enters
tbe building the only sounds to greet
the ear are the dull and sickening
thud wblcb proclaim successive falls,
tbe deep breathing and panting of the
contestants and the staccato tones of
tbe umpires as tbey declare victory or
defeat"
For the student- wbo wins bis bout
and continues bis progress nntll he
passes aa a pupil teacher there Is an
other test of courage and endurance.
He must be strangled and resuscitated.
"The Idea nt the bottom of this seem
ingly cold blooded procedure Is both
to steel the victim's nerves and round
off his experience, as It were, and to
nfford the newly promoted members
an opportunity of putting Into practice
certain forms of 'kwappo (the system
of resuscitation), wblcb 'are demon
strated by nn expert teacher before
strangulation takes place."
