The Coming ArI.tocracy In America.

While In France-what with our mod
ern education" the specialization Of our
sciences, ""the spirit of regionalism" with
which we are trying TO inoculate our uni
versities-we are diminishing the part OF
general instruction, in America. ON the
contrary, they are seoking 10 extend, TO
increase and 10 consolidate IL. While we
are insensibly detaching ourselves from
our traditions, the Anericans-who are
inconsolable for rot having an ancient
history-are precisely essaying To attach
themselves 10 tho traditions we are forsak
ing. OF all that we affect To consider too
useless or Gupcrannuated of tho history Of
Greek institutions or the examination OF
the books Of the Old Testament they are
composing for themselves, rs one might
say, an intellectual past And If perhaps
the catalogues Of their universities do not
keep all their promises which is often the
case with our own, that Is unimportant.
The function always ends by creating its
organ and it Is tendencies which must be
regarded. The uniyersitarian tendencies
In America are on the way TO constitute
an aristocracy Of intelligence in that great
democracy, and, which is almost ironical,

so wrong headed and stupid as to dread AS

History In Novels.

Save in one or two of Cooper's novels,
says Paul Leicester Ford in The Atlantic,
it would be well nigh impossible TO find a
romance dealing with Revolutionary his
tory which does not make the Whig of
that war tho patriot and the Tory the dis
loyal and usually evil acting man Yet
the student of history knows that the
loyalists, il n minority, were largely com
posed OF the gentry and educated classes
OF the country; were, in fact the equiya-
lent of what today are termed the better
element" and were superior in character
to many of the men who opposed them.
No American novelist has ventured TO
write Of John Hancock and Jonathan
Trumbull as men suspected OF smuggling,
or of Samuel Adams as public man who
sought, as other officials have done more
recently, TO vindicntc himself from the
charge of defalcation by an appeal to the
ballots OF the masses.
Would any American author, striving
TO write popular fiction, dare to picture
one signer Of the Declaration as selling
the secreto of his country to the French
ministry for paltry pension, or another
taking advantage of information Of the
need Of the continental cause for wheat to
corner the supply at once 50 far as he was
ableY In one case alone have our writer's
dared to draw an approximately faithful
portrait of a man who came 10 the front
in early Revolutionary days, TO describe
tho bounty Jumper deserter, smuggler
and drunkard, who nevertheless rose to
high honor I'm the American cause, aad

Whatever the frogs of Ireland may or
may not havo suffered from st. Patrick,
there is no doubt that snails, flies, beetles,
rats and eels were communicated or
threatened with communication, by 9TH
or saints and bishops, and however fabu-
lous may he the story Of the jackdaw Of
Rheims, 10 is historical fact that cock
was publicly burned at Basel in August,
l474, for the dabolical crime of laying an
egg, the egg being also burned lest it
should produce q cockatrice or fiery flying
serpent.
"On the Thursday before st. Lawrcnce's $
day, writes Gross in his 'Kurtze Basler
Kronik, ""they burned cock on the ko-
lenberg, together with an egg which he
had laid for they feared that dragon
might be hatched therefrom. The execu.
tioncr cut open the cock and found three
more eggs In him, for, as Vicentius saith
in the sixth book Of his Speculum Natu.
ralc 1t hath always been held that cock
in his old age may lay an egg, whence
ariseth basilisk, If it be hatched out on
q dung heap by the serpent called coluber.
Wherefore the basilisk is half cock and half
serpent. He saith also that certain persons
declare they have seen basilisks hatched
from such eggs. "-Cornhill Magazine.

AN AFRICAN LEGEND.
The story Of How the Monkey Came 20
he Created.

Negro legends and interpretations of
Scripture arc often extremely ingenious
and even poetica), and IL frequently hap
pens that when the makers of traditions
and folklore happen 20 have African blood
in their veins they rely entirely upon their
inspirations and imaginations. IL is I'm
this wise that their account of the creation
OF the monkey was constructed. This
story runs ms follows:
After God had made man, the devil re-
garded this new creation with great deal
of interest and admiration and was filled
with an ambition to do something of that
kind himself. He therefore studied the
form and features of the human being
which had been recently placed upon the
earth, and set TO work with great earnest
ness TO make a living creature which
should. as nearly as possible, resemble a
man, but he did not try TO make his work
quite as large as his model, wisely think
ing he would better begin with something
on a smaller scale. The result of his la
bors was tho monkey.
This animal was IA good deal like a man,
but he failed in some important particu-
lars to resemble the original One of these
was his inability to speak, and the devil
tried TO remedy this fault, but found IL
impossible. He also discovered that his
little man did not possess the intelligence
of the larger being nc had tried TO initiate,
and dsgustcd with the impossibility of
making his monkey speak or OF impress
ing upon his mind that he should act as a
reasonable being, he gave up the attempt
in despair and in order to compensate the
creature he had made for the great fail
ures in his construction, he gave him
tail. This would not enable him TO speak,
nor would it bestow upon him the intel
ligence he should have, but il would be
avery great help to him in getting through
life, and this the little burlesque of man
rs doubtless found 10 be true. Youths

DAUDET AS A YOUTH.
He Played the Heroic and Was Told to
Get His Hair Cut.


When he was boy, Alphonse Daudet's
father failed, and for some time the two
lived together in poverty in Lyons An
elder brother, Ernest, however, got a posi-
tion in glass store i'm Paris, and finally,
when IL years old, Alphonse went 10 live
with him and TO try his fortunes in the
great city. Ernest's wages amounted to
only $50 month, and Alphonse brought
nothing with him from Lyons except about
40 cents and a voracious appetite. He is
even said TO have worn rubber boots on
that memorable journey. The two broth
ers took lodgings in an attic and for sew
eral years led poverty stricken life.
Nothing, however, discouraged the two
lads. Both had confidence that there was
future in literature for Alphonse, who
in these trying years wrote volume of
poems which be had succeeded in getting
printed A copy of the volume fell under
the eye of Empress Eugenic, who persuad
ed her brother in-law, the Duke of Morny,
TO hunt the young man up and help him.
The result Of tho empress interest in the
young poet was that the duke invited him
TO call upon them. When Daudet entered,
the duke asked:
"Can you writeg"
Eyes, sir, " replied Daudct.
Every good want n secretary. Pay,
5000 francs. Good morning"
The boy was nearly overcome. He had
never imagined that any one was paid that
much ycar--about 1000. But he sud
denly remembered that he differed in poll
tics from the duke and drawing himself
up announced the fact.
Instead of being deeply moved by his
heroic course, the duke said: "Oh, go and
get your hair cut. | don't care anything
about your political beliefs. "-Pittsburg

Decline of q Health Resort.

The town of Mentone, in the south Of
France, has long been a resort for con-
sumptives. Latterly, it is reported,
they have failed to derive much benefit
from a stay in its borders, and the num-
Der of such visits is greatly reduced.
'It is claimed that the soil of the neigh
borhood has become impregnated with
germs, and that instead of giving re-
lief to sufferers it is now the last place
on earth to which they should resort
It is even stated that the natives of the
locality, who once presented such a
vigorous and hardy appearance, have
acquired the look of invalids them
selves, and that disease is now reg
nant where the best of health once pre-
vailed. The decline of Mentone as q
health resort is cited as a conclusive
proof of the germ theory of disease"

New Process in Dentistry.

Cataphoresis is the process of fore
ing cocaine and other indictments into
tooth by means of electricity. The
process consists in the movement of
fluids from the positive to the negative
poles of a battery. 1t has been gradual
ly evolved, but it is not yet perfect. At
present it takes from ten minutes to
half an hour to completely anesthet-
lie q tooth. This is more time than a
busy dentist likes to use in preparation.
Neither will patients care to pay for it.
But in cases of extreme sensitiveneSs all
concerned are well repaid. Some can
stand but a weak current, but when a
voltage likely to be sufficient is reached
1t is allowed to stand at that point until
end of application.

ing photographs isnow employed at the
establishment of Arthur Schwartz, of
Berlin, for illustrating magazines. The
bromide paper mostly used is about
four inches wide and moro than 1000
yards long, although a width of about
1s inches is sometimes used, and life
size pictures of men on horseback have
been produced. AS many as 10000 cop
les of cabinet photographs have been
printed and made ready for distribution
in ten hours. An elegant print by this
process is given in a Russian photo

1900 copies of the edition were abso-
lutely identical in tone and finish.

position, no matter from what direction
the wind blows. The idea is roughly
Indicated by the accompanying dia-
gram, which represents the view from
overhead. The arrows are supposed to
show the direction of the wind. Such q
screen would be slight improvement
on all plans which tilt the sails edge
wise as the latter come up against the
breeze; for it would prevent the re-
sistance which the bare arms, braces,
guys and other parts of the revolving
framework would otherwise encounter.
The gain would not be much, but it
would be something.
OF course, the principle involved is
all that is here commended. 1t is neces-
sary that the mechanism for shifting
the shield, as occasion requires, shall be
studied out carefully. Simplicity,
strength and efficiency must be in
sured, or it would not pay to apply the
idea There are several ways in which
it could be done, some clever and some
