Tbe Earth. BREAKING UP THE CAMP. TTlP ii of th C.p,. lj-tup squely Sail Here were jiei'haps tw. s.tre gypsies.

Caraf was to Ih bruku at tho of the nest week. The era were i-- broadcast. It rt jj absolute ly they would ail never meet again, even though all should know the gypsy joy of the springtime outgoing. And there is a large and ample human regard, one for another, in thhi community of roadside intenvr and companionship, wbieh we of the "civilized'' ways can never know. Tinker Zeke was not alone in his mournful regret.

The camp was rife with it, just as the landscape, sky and air were with the tender sadness of the dying year. It seemed to nu nor was it all of seeming, that the hres themselves burned with less crackle and name. Even the sizzling pots, hanging from the grimy kettle sticks, boiled and blub'oertd in minor hearthside tones. Over in the copses the tethered horses stood meekly silent, with lowered heads, or nibbled at their food as if in serious rumination. Good wives sat by the tent mouth in quiei distawsion with their husbands, or busied themselves with the morning meal less spry and i-hipper than is the gypsy woman's way Youths bringing water from the stream or returning to camp with grain and fodder for the animals did their work gloomily, and with none of the summertime whoop and halloa.

Here and there were groups of older gypsy men, seated on wagon tongues, or leaning their backs against trees, who smoked their pipes with long, strong introspective puffs, and said little, while that little was measured and reflective. Old spao wives puttered and pothered querulously, unsteadier ia tone, more restless in movement, and full of that petulant resentment to change, so true and pathetic a seal upon the overripe faculties of old age. lasses, ever demure ia tho presence of potent act or fact in their elders, but miracles of winsome physical and heart iree abandonment in joyous hours, looked twice thoir age in their long gowns and faces. And even the gypsy dogs, those rare sad vis-agd, voiceless cheats, whose pretense of so l-L a ignorance out gypsy the slyest Romany themselves, sat ranged in deferential diitauces from the camp fires, the embodiment cf dreary dolefuluess. Edgar L.

Wake-man's L-i The Ignorant arid rniMIy llussian. I expected to had the Russians a fierce looking peopK They are the very opposite. rierce7i--s mu-t be accompanied by a degree of rale i substance. The average Russian one meets in the streets or in the country is of medium size. He is of light yetiow tan color, from exposure to weather and existence upon coarse food.

Generally he wears a full leard, and four times out of five it is light in. color and very filthy. His hair is about two inc hes thick, is cut as if the work was done with a meat aej or a circular saw, and besides being combed down in front is slightly parted the middle, as though he were not sure whether Le is a male or a female. He invariably wears hieh tonned boots, and his trousers are tucked into tho boot tops. The boot tops have a series of fiaeiy artistic wrinkles midway, and are generally well oiled.

This is the only tasteful indication ia the dress. The coat of a peasant is a cross between a robe, a frock and a blouse. It comes almost to the knees, is single breasted and has a wide belt. If the subject is a driver ho wears a ro'm and belt, and tho garment is of blue cloth and comes to tho groun-L The headwear is a broad can with low crown. The Russian is as filthy as ho is ignorant and unsightly.

Only three or four of the principal hotels havo any preparations for bathing, and these are extremely meager, Tho Russian bath in Russia is a myth. I paid three roubles for a place to take a very ordinary bath in the principal hotel Not one palace in five has a bath, and as the waters of the Neva are too cold for swimming baths, the people, as a mass, shed their accurnulated filth bke fish scales. And since dried fish, oil and cured vegetables form the staple diet for the majority of the peoplo, and the Neva, which furnishes the water supply, can be detected miles distant by the nostrils, it is only the cold atmosphere that prevents long mortuary lists.

Goat with Kd Whisker. Within the borders of that region which boasts of having been the oldest of the pails of Europe reclaimed by civilized man, in Greece, a new quadruped was discovered and i3 now exhibited in the zoological gardens of Berlin, Germany.

Wp crept on hands and throngtt tangled underbrush and vines to turn tges of the cliff, and looked over, writa M. Quad in the Detroit Frrc Press. Vm were liity feet above a valley a I ttle-paradise, in which the flowers b'ossomt the sweet grass grew knee high, and thm ground birds built their nests without fear of an enemy. Each man of us feasted his eyes in si Ience. It seemed as if a word spokez aloud would shatter the picture whiclfc.

are had painted ar herself. There was a long five minutes beform-any of us looked straight down, and then, we saw a sight to make our blood tingta. An Indian warrior, evidently shoSt 'hrouch the hips and his lower limb had himself alonjj the base of a clitT a spring jjt tin devour faces. We looked to the right and followed his to where a point of thicket ran into the valley. He ha 1 com inch by inch, leaving his lif-blooJ to crimson the white-faced flower and dy-the grass a dull red.

"Sh!" We Lend over to nots the Tat few foati of his progress. He is a reprosentat: warrior tail, strong and fill of suchi courage as nature gives only to her children of the mountain and prairie. II. draws himself along a if weroalg. Every movement must cost terrible-pain, bat even re, alone as he lo.ieve himself, he will not cry out.

Re reaches the wa'ar and laps it like dog. It seems as if he couid never drink, enough. He has been hours crawling thi-half mile, and all the time a horribl fever lias been scorching every vein and1, parching his tongue. He finally turns from tbe water, pull himself about with an heroic ett'ort. andL now he rests on his side and faces th valley.

It is as if he felt bis lat moment approaching, and meant to die with hit. face to the heautitu! picture. He musk have been armed, but in that to reach the spring h-j has lightened himself of every which roulJ make the jouriK-v last a second longer.

Look! Ihe great cat of the mountains the puma of South America, the panther of the deep wilderness of the North--ba crept out of tho ticket, anil is sailling of the bloody trail. The soft breeze bcrf th" scent to her lair as she slept, and she awoke to show her yellow fangs and lick her blood-red lips. Never had she sniiletf at such a trail. Never did drops of lead so surely to a victim. Ahl Her tonaue has licked th from the dairies, and she arches her 1 ad-, shoots fire from her eyes and tears at tha grass ith her long claws.

Ten drops of human blood Lave aroused all her rocity. Her long tail sweeps the ground, ner lips fail away from the cruel faris. and she crouches down to follow tbe bloody trail. We can see her, even to flash of her eyes th working of bee muscles the quiver of impatience that tuns through hr now and then. She must pass around a large rock which has fallen from the Dliff into the valley before she can see Iter victim, or before the warrior can see henr.

Three white men with hearts whick tnow pity three rifles which carry to th ieath. Shall we shoot? No. The sound of a rifle might bring core af Apache devils hunting for u. The cat might lay dead before their eye the wounded warrior might owe us hit life, but we should go to the stake for alt that to the torture by fire and knife sad tomahawk.

Ugh The cat halts now and then to lick at a larger spot of blood a place where the arrior, overcome by pain, had to takv a longer rest. It makes the flesh creep be eee tbe glare in her eyes and to hear tb deep growl she utter in ferocious satisfaction. Now sh slowly aud carefully cree)t. around the rock, hugging the ground until" 6ne standing beside the spring eoulc hardly have made her out. JShe is in futr sight of th warrior, who lies only twe hundred feet away.

He must also see ht for his eyes are turned that way. Ah! Did you notice his start of sue prise? It was not fear. The A pack, warrior fears nothing which inhabits tk. earth or the waters thereof. He is wound ed and defenseless, but he does not foar.
