The Boston Boys Culture.

The small boy is always curiosity. +

amusing. says Arlo Bates in his Bos-
ton letter to the Providence JouTnat.
The young Boston boy is not infre-.

The six-year-old boy of a wealthy
and self-made-dweller ON Back Bay
was the other noon dining With his
goVerness, when. to her amazement,
she not having been long enough in
the family to be accustomed to his
manners. he said sharply to the SER
want who was waiting on the table:
Take that soup off and send it
downstairs. 1t is not properly cleared.

Edison,s First Phonograph.

A gentleman recently repeated to
me an account given him by Mr..
Thomas Edison of the making of the
first photograph. 1t has not, SO far
as know, been in print. and is inter-
esting as showing the inventors
methods of working. Busily engaged,
on innumerable things, Mr. Edison
carried in his mind for long time
the idea of the phonograph, turning it
over and over from time to time
iotting down sketches and men,
oranda concerning its construe-
tion. At lengtr he said to an old Ger
man machinist who made models for
him that he wanted a machine con-
st1-lcted in a certain manner, but of
the use of it he gave no hint. Now
and then as the work went on, with
out seeing the model, Mr.. Edison or.
dered certain changes, which, OF
course, were duly made. Finally the
German was told to bring the machine,
for examination; Mr.. Edison fitted
into it the sheet of tinfoil, and turning.
the crank spoke into tie funnel the
somewhat familiar verse about Mary.
and her little lamb. The German re-
garded him as if he thought he had
gone mad but when Mr. Edison re-
Versed the motion and the phonographi
pipingly repeated his stanza, the old
man threw up his hands and exclaimed
in the utmost astOnishment, ''Mein
! Gott, ii talks!"- boston Letter.

English Life in Aigiers.

Many of the foEeign residents OH The
heights are English, who spend sue
cessive winters in the beautiful villas.
n which are combined the charms of
Arab construction with the modifica-
ton of English detail. Here they ex-
change English hospitalities under
Algerine conditions, and a dinner
party with European friends in the
Moorish court or patio is certainly a
novel and charming entertainment.
An awning is stretched overhead, and
in the center of the court, paved with
marble or colored tiles, stands a foun-
tain, the water playing over roses and
jasmines, and trickling down honev-
suckle, lilies, and green palms, and
splashing on the fish in the basin be-
low; and all this in the winter months.
The table. laden too with flowers, is
placed within the columns and in a
circle around the fountain.
The Governor and Admiral give two
or three official balls during the winter
season, one at the Admiralty, situated
on the ancient harbor, others at the
Governors palaces at Mustapha Supe-
rienr and in the town. The reception
OF which an illustration has been given
took place in March at the winter
palace in town; the guests were COM
posed of the French residents, civil
and military. English. a few other
foreigners, dozen Arab chiefs, and
the Multi: the latter dignitaries, with
the native, military officers, scattered
among the Europeans in the Moorish
interior, gave the local color to tho
reception The chiefs, notwithstand-
ing the heat of the bathrooms, wore
their ample cloth pantaloons, red
leather boots in black leather outer
shoes. several burnooses one over the
other, scarlet, black, fawn-color, pale
blue. They promenaded; and few of
them danced with ladies, to whom
they offered striking contrast
The English afternoon tea and ten
mis- receptions are delightful, in gar
dens crowded with trees and bushes
bearing fruit of all sorts. Besides
loranges. bananas, grapes. lime, lemon,
are fruits less familiar to us: the
Japanese medlar, of a bright yellow.
acid and very refreshing, with -four
big brown seeds, assembling the kaki
of Japan; another (the name of which
l do not recalD is very much like the
mango of India, in consistence more
like thick mass of very hard cream
than anything else can think of, and
with very delicate flavor, the exterior
symmetrically ornamented with fish
scale design like the pineapple.
The papyrus grows in these patios in
the basins of the fountains. The long
straight stem is three-sided like bay
onet, and can be split into fine fibres
and woven.
There are a few comparatively
wealthy Arab families who live in this
quarter, and the women are pleased to
receive European ladies. and occasion
ally make appointments to return their
calls, but with the understanding that
the gentlemen of the house mnst keep
themselves well out of the way, so that
they may unveil themselves and take
tea comfortably with the hostess.-F.

BenevoIence in Nature.

| If vast amount of that which. in q
piece OF human workmanship, we
should call skill, is visible in those
parts of the organization of deer to
which it owes its ability to escape
from the beasts of prey, there is at
least equal skill displayed in that
bodily mechanism of the wolf which
enables him to track, and sooner or
later to bring down, the deer. Viewed
under the dry light of science, deer
and wolf are alike, ,admira BILE; and, if
both were n6n-sentient automata,
there would be nothing to qualify our
admiration of the action of the one on
the other. But the fact that the deer
suffers while the wolf infiicts suffering
engages our moral sympathies. We
should call men like the deer innocent
and good, men such as the wolf maIig-
nant and bad; We should call those
who defended the deer and aided him
to escape brave and compassionate,
and those who helped the wolf in his
bloody work base and cruel. Surely,
if we transfer these judgments to Ma
ture outside the world of man at all,
we must do so impartially In that
case, the goodness of the right hand
which helps the deer, and the wicked
ness of the left hand which eggs on the
wolf, will neutraliZe one another; and
the course of Nature will appear to be-
neither moral nor immoral, but non-
moral
This conclusion is thrust upon US by
analogous. facts in every part of the
sentient world; yet, inasmuch as it not
only jars upon prevalent prejudices.
but arouses the natural dislike to that
which is painful. much ingenuity has
been exercised in devising an escape
from it--Prof.. T. Il. Hurley, in Popa-
lar Science Monthly.
