The gypsies know nothing whatever of heaven or a future state of rest for the righteous dead, their vocabulary having no word that conforms with our words "paradise," "heaven," "beautiful city," etc. They know of a god which they call "devel" and of a devil called "beng." "Bong" has a homo, or an abiding place, called "bengipo," but their "devel." or god, "hath not where to lay his head," and is only recognized as a wandering spirit floating about in the upper regions of the air. They have a mortal terror of both "beng" and "devel," but this does not prevent them from cursing both god and devil whenever anything goes wrong. They believe "beng" to be much su perior to tho "devel," not only in point of physical proportions, but in his powers over the world and the human race, as well as in his greater intellectuality. "Devel" can be exorcised with pure cold water, but "beng" will take nothing short of brandy or wine. Edgar Wake man and other experts in gypsy lore be lieve that they were the original fire wor shipers, and cite many facts to prove the correctness of their conclusions. tit Louis Republic. A Mtoar! I4U Wih. A Greek died in the small town of Caracal, having always lived on the alms of his compatriots. Before dying ho made his wife swear that she would bury him in the dirty old overcoat which ho wore every day. The poor woman had to ask the Greeks of Caracal to help her to provide the costs of the funeral A good hearted Greek went to see her in her affliction, and pointing to the body said ho would give her a better coat to bury tho man in. Then she told him of the dead man's last wish. Tho Greek, whoso suspicions were awakened, told her that she should certainly not part with the body before she had well exam ined the coat, for there must be some particular reason for the request. The widow unpicked tho lining of the over coat and found 85,000 francs in bank notes which the miser wished to take into the grave with him. Vienna Cor. London News. The Danger of Officebolillng-.

Mr, Morley, chief secretary for Ire land, moved the closure, and it was adopted, without division. The announcement that the bill bad passed the second reading by a vote of 347 to 304 was the signal for more cheers and bat waving. There was another demonstration when Mr. Glandstone left the bouse.

THE GOLD RESERVE Cat Into to Make Up Demand For Export CARLISE MAY BEGIN TO FAY SHYER Sterling Forced to the Highest Figure Since 1884. ASSOCIATED press bepokt. New York, April 22. Tho upper crust of the $100,000,000 gold baa been removed,' and the financial world stood by and witnessed the going of it, and yet no quaklngs of earth are felt and the folks who are most interested are wondering why there has been no crash of worlds, nor wreck of spheres. In deed, some financiers are looking each Into the other's faces and ejaculating as to whether they are fanatlo or uncan nily superstitious. The engagements for gold for export from here on steam ers sailing today and on Tuesday amount to $6,175,000; from Boston $760,000. On the stock market accumulation "bull rumors" from Washington di verted practically all attention from the secretary's circular; but the ster ling exchange market opened in utter confusion, reflecting a very unusual occurrence a scare among tho regular remitters against foreign credits. The demand for sterling bills, this time pro ceeding from bankers who were doubt ful about gold payment for treasury notes, and anxious to anticipate their payments, was so heavy as to force up sterling to the highest figure touched since the panlo of 1884. In the midst of this turmoil, foreign lenders of money called in numerous loans, and these notes being drawn with the gold clause, payment In spo cle In at least one case was demauded and obtained. Treasury notes present ed at the sub-treasury were promprly redeemed in gold. Borrowers on call today were able to secure accomodation early in the day at 5 to 0 per cent, but these who delayed supplying their wants were forced to pay 10 to 12 Posted rates for sterling exchange were raised to 4 88 and 4 00 and there was little disposition to draw. The situa tion improved late In the day; money was in belter supply toward the close and was lent as low as 4 per cent. This is the first time since there- sumption of specie payments that the reserve has been cut into, counting In the subsidiary coin as a part of the avail-' able funds of the treasury, A difference of opinion exist as to whether the sub sidy coin should be thus counted In. If not, then the reservo has been en croached upon several times previous to1 now. The shearer of the clearing house says with regard to the gold situatien: "I do not think any action is necessary as no artificial restriction that could be placed upon the export of gold would mend matters in the least or be a check I We are simply coming to a silver basis In the natural course of events, and If , the present mode of financiering con-1 tlnues we will soon have no gold In the country but will have plenty of silver." i IN TUB CAMINET. Washington, April 22. At a cab- inet meeting yesterday at whloh all members of the eablnst were present except Herbert, of the aavy, the finan cial situation was almost the exclusive topjoof d.lseulon, The meeting lasted two hours and and a half, and was the longest sisslon of the oablaet sJhos the sew adaaiBistratloa aaaae lata power. Whea the treasury department closed Its doors, the gold reserve ot $100,000, AOQhadbeea Invaded to the extent of nesja H&MO.OGO to RGOO.000. Wlitu tlMdayocAttedthetewM'lB tUetreas- ury $185,000 free gold. This amount was Increased by gold offers from the West, aggregating about $1,250,000. Large withdrawals of gold for ship ment from New York cut this down to such an extent that when the cabinet met, Secretary Carlisle found orders for gold up to that time (about 1 o'olook) which wiped out the free gold and In vaded the gold reserve to the extent of $2,557,000. As far as it can bo officially ascer tained, this amount was taken out of the gold reserve for export today al though It was unofficially stated that $700,000 In gold, exclusive of that, was taken out at New York, withdrawn from the sub-treasury at Boston for ex port to Canada. If so, this would make about 5,000,000 in gold taken out of the country for shipment today, and leavo the gold reserve Invaded to the oxtent of $3,000,000. It is believed this invasion Is but temporary, and within a few days the depleted reserve will be restored to the original figure, $100,000,000. While nothing official can be ob tained here as to the decision of the treasury department, in regard to the payment in gold of treasury notes of 1890, the fact that these notes are being paid in gold upon presentation proves conclusively they will for the present, at least, be redeemed as heretofore, i MAY 1'AY IN SILVMi. The construction placed upon Secre tary Carlisle's Btatemout given to the press last night was that when be reached tho limit of the gold reserve he would exercise his discretion and pay this class of notes when presented for redemption in silver. To this extent, only, are tbo occurences a surprise. It can be stated with posltlveness there is no disagreement on the financial situa tion between the president and Secre tary Carlisle or among the members of the cabinet. ODDS AND ENDS.
