WAYS OF GYPSIES
These Queer People Are the Same
All Over the World.
A RACE WITHOUT A NATION.
Originally From Indie, Now Outoasts
In Every Land In Which They Live,
They Are Natural Roguea, Without
Laws, Literature or Religion.
The gypsies are the most unchanging
race In the world. Wberevsr they are
fouud? and they "re found everywhere,
from Persia to Mexico, from central
Africa to Slbcria-tbey nro the same,
a nice of outcasts, despised by the peo
ple among whom they dwell, yet keep
ing tbelr own Ideal uncbanged, truo to
their barbaric law. Jealous of stran
gers, clever enough to make a living
from the weaknesses and foolishnesses
of the people who despise them. Cli
mate seems to make uo difference to
them.
In all environments tbey remain un
changed, the same sharp faces, the
same black, keen, Inscrutable eyes; the
same bronzed skin; change In food or
conditions of living make no mark on
them, and tbey ouly take on the cus
toms or beliefs or costumes of other
races In order the better to cheat and
fleece them? a raco without national
ity. without laws, without a literature,
without a religion, for It is said that
In their totiguo there Is no word for
God. none for tho soul, none for tin
Where did they coine from 7 tTora
Boheuilii, say the Kreucb, but they are
uot really Bohemians Dor more nu
rnerous there than elsewhere; from
Egypt. they sometimes say themselves,
to uet a better price for their sooth
saying. Bot there Is nothing genuine
ly Egyptian about them In reality
they came from India. Their strange
language shows that. Jealously guard
ed from the knowledge of strangers. It
has yet been learned little by little,
and comparison shows It Is full of Hin
du words, words that you may hear
eren now all over India.
Surprising, perhaps, at llrst blush,
that there should bo millions of low
caste or outcast Hindus scattered all
over Europe and even wandering
through the byways of America, but
only strange because we do uot think
about It. In reality Europe Is full of
Asiatic peoples I'or long centuries
they came pouring In. especially
through the gato between the Ural
mountains and the Caspian sen. The
hitter proverb. "Scratch the Itusslan
and you find the Tnrtar." may remind
us that the great Tartar Invasion, un
der the gmndsous of Ubengls Khan,
conquered all eastern Europe and set
tled the Tartar tribesmen all down the
vust Volga vnlley, across the steppes
and along the shore of the Black sea.
The Uuns and the Turks are also Asi
atics. as arc olucr peoples, like the
Kinns. So nil eastern Europe Is soak
ed with Asiatic blood, and If so many
peoples cnmc from northern Asia why
nbould It be Incredible that one race
should come from southern Asia?
It seems probable that the gypsies
drifted Into Europe In the wnke of
Batl Khan's Invasion, when he came
down on Itussla wltb Ills vnst locust
swarms of Tartar horsemen. 600,000 In
number. The gypsies came from cen
tral Asia, whither they had been driv
en from India by the Implacable and
destructive Invaslou of Mubmud of
Ubnzni, about 1)00 years ago. It was
about 1235 that Batl Khan and bis lo
cust swarm began to devastate Eu
rope. And a cetttury later roving bands
?f gypsies wore scattered through east
ern Europe? Wnllacbla. Moldavia. Bul
garia. By 1-11? a horde of gypsies made
their appearance in northwestern Ucr
many, claiming to be Christian pil
grims from "Little Egypt," but their
L'brlstlnnlty was about as genuine as
their Egyptian origin. Their thlovlsb.
vagabond character wus already man
ifest then, and they were driven from
northern Germany to begin their per
petunl wanderings through every Eu
ropean country and In due time to
cross over to America In the wnke of
the white races.
UUl luu Krvill uuin UI tucui omii iv
main Id tbe Dunubo valley, wbero
:hcy first appeared some six centuries
(go. In Roumania there arc between
i quarter and a tin If u million of tbem.
In Transylvania tbere are a hundred
ibousnnd more, while Servla and Bui
cnrln and Macedonia have from thirty
:o a hundred thousand each. Tbo con
lltlon of the gypslei In the valley of
:he Danube Is In some respects pe
?ullar, with considerable differences In
:he different countries. In Servla the
evellng power of Turkish rule, exert
?d century after century, had tbe ef
'ect of bringing the gypsies closer to
:be condition of tbo mass of tbo pens
intry. In Servla. therefore, though
:bey ore still an Inferior caste and are
jot allowed to exerclso the rights and
x>wers of citizenship, the gypsies nro
wrhaps less widely separated from
:bo peasantry than lu any other coun
:ry in Europe. In Rouinanla tbo gyp
iles wero terribly oppressed. Tbey
.vere captured and held as slaves and
ivero treated with savage brutality.
F"bey lived In utter squalor and wretch
?dnoss and misery, nnkedness and
llth. lower than many of tho lowest
lavages. Happily, however, Kim;
Jharles completely removed tho last
restlges of this reproach from his
?ountry. and the Roumanian gypsies
ire now completely emancipated.?
