Jealousy in Infants.

OF my two children one is boy of four
years, the other girl of ten months. The
boy has just returned home after an alb
sence of some months. His sister displays
great affection for him. She is also much
attached to her nurse-more so at times
apparently than to any other member of
the household.
Now if, while the girl is sitting on a
mat alone or on the lap of either of her
parents, the nurse should take the boy
upon her knee and fondle him, the girl will
Immediately cry out in a distressful way,
in tone not precisely indicative of anger
or vexation, but more nearly similar to the
tone of grief Or disappointed desire In the
case described the infant will not be ap-
peased unless the nurse puts down the boy
and takes her up. 1t will not avail for the
nurse to take her up on one knee, leaving
the boy on the other.
IT, however, while the nurse has the in
FAINT in her arms, either Of the parents takes
up the boy and caresses him the girl dis
plays only strong interest, but no annoy
ance whatever.
1t is evident, then, that the outburst Of
feeling in the former case was display OF
jealousy.-Cor. Science.

Tennyson's Dislike OF Anecdotes.

1t is a curious bit of the irony of fate
that there should now be rife so many
tales and anecdotes Of Tennyson. No
man ever disliked such things more
than he. Seldom could he be induced
to read or to listen to personal incidents
of other great men. 1t was not that he
felt no interest in them. But the deli
cacy of his nature was representative,
and he shrank from looking into the
private lives Of others, just as he had a
horror of others looking into his own
life. Yet half of the literature about
the laureate consists of anecdotes, and
Of these a large proportion relates to
that very dislike of publicity.-New
