Memory and Gratitude In Animals.


The following incident is related of
celebrated lion tanner named Martin. 1t
is an illustration of what any one can
discover for himself or herself, by kindly
treating domestic animals-any of which
remember kindness and also remember
unkindness.
After Martin had retired to private
life he one day made up his mind to
pay visit to his former large menagerie
which he had not seen for five years. 1t
was in Brussels and he started from his
country seat near Rotterdam. At four
o'clock, the time for feeding, he entered
the menagerie. Ii was winter, and Mar
tin was wrapped in a long cloak. He
mingled with the crowd and waited I'M
til the animals had received their food,
for which they were waiting with i'm
patience. While they were eating he
began to cough. Suddenly the animals
stopped eating and listened; then they
broke into wild howls of joy and tore at
the iron bars, so that many timid visit
ors fled from the meuagerie. The par
rots, pelicans, kangaroos and monkeys
commenced to screech and scream the
hyenas and wolves howled; in short, it
was perfect bedlam.

abbreviated Names.

The popular authorizations of pet
Games in earlier times were in, ON, ct,
kin, cock, and others. Emma WAS
shortened to EN-, and for loves sake it
it became Emmot or Emmet Matilda
was first Til, then Tillot. Bartholomew
was Bart then Little Bart, or Blrlett.
The popularity of these pet names is
seen in the great number of them which
eventually became family names. The
Tillotsons, the Emmets, the Bartletts are
numerous in England and America, al
though few dream that these names
were originally pet and not surnames.
Before the use of family names it was
often necessary to Use the diminutive
forms, from the fact that the same name
was not infrequently given to two or
three children of the same family. The
original of the surname Robinson is the
pet name Robin, or Little Robert As
Germans of to-day add chen to children's
names as term of endearment, making
Anna Annchen, Elizabeth Lischen, SO
our English ancestry used the equiva-
lent kin. Watkin was Little Walter,
Smkin Little Simeon, Perkin Little
Peter. Examinations kin and cock
were in use among the lower orders
that is, among the Anglo-Saxons-while
the diminutives in, on and ct were more
aristocratic, and used by families
of Norman blood. AS showing to what
base uses names may come at last,
we have the French word Guillaume
derived from gild helm or golden he'll
met-twice thrown into pet form, be-
coming Guillotin or Little William.
Then it became a surname and the fam
lily name of the doctor who invented, or
rather adapted, the deadly machine
which bears his name. So from noble
defender William became an internal
prosecutor.

TIE COURT JESTER.
he Was n Privileged Character WIh r
DImcuIt Task,

In the reign of the Tudors and Stuarts
the court jester was an important char.
acter. He bantered the king, made
merry at the expense of courtiers and
august danes, and played with the
crown and sceptre as with his own cap
and bells and bladder of dried peas The
terms fool and jester are used inter
changeably by the ancient English
writer's. The court fool described in the
old plays was either an idiot, and there
fore "a natural fool" or a witty and
artificial fool" while the Jester, whose
name was probably derived from the old
word gest, romance or story, was jocu-
lator, actor, minstrel and bulToon, as
we'll as fool. The jester wore a motley
or parti-colored cloth, belted in by
girdle, and trunk hose elaboratelv sashed
and puffed. or a skirt garnished with
bells. His headgear was hood shaped
like a monks cowl and decorated with
asses ears; a highpointed cap covered
with bells, a coxComb, fashioned like
the crest of cock; or a round cap in
which was wreathed an imposing feather.
He carried an inflated bladder filled
tie, or puppet on wand. Occa sion
ally he was seen in a long tunic or pet
ticoat made of rich material. Yellow
was the FOOLS true color A purse or
wallet hung from his belt to receive the
tips by which brilliant quip or a timely
observation was rewarded. But although
the jester had access to the king at all
hours and his privileged tongue could
speak things that none other dared APP
proach, poor Motley had his hard ships,
such as bed with the hounds and span
iels, frequent whippings, and last, but
not least, he was forced to entertain the
king, to make merry to strike rhymes,
and to be ready with his wit, whether
gay or sad, serious or jolly. Under all
circumstances he was merely the man
who laughed.

Neat Ways OF Propounding the Impor-

The subject OF matrimonial proposals
has been well canvassed of late and is
presumably of interest to man and
woman alike, since one proposes and the
other listens. In books, the important
question is made to assume a poetical
garb it seldom wears in real life, flesh
and blood lovers being apt to bunder
sadly at the critical moment; and it is to
books, therefore, that we look for pleas.
