greatest Of Moaern Arrangements.

Different minds place different esti-
mates on the intellectual accomplish
ments OF the past half century. IN or
binary conversation the men of the
mart will point to an Eiffel tower, a
suspension bridge, a continental ex-
press train, a man-of-war, or an At
lantic cable. But in a discourse recent
~ delivered In commemoratlon of the
jubilee Of the Sheffield Scientific school
of Yale university, President Gilman
remarked that perhaps the greatest tri-
umphs of the intellect during the last
half century are these five contr1bu-
tions to human knowledge: The eStab-
lishment Of the principles Of evolution;
the establishment of the principle Of
the conservation of energy; the devel-
Opment Of mathematical science and It's
application to physics, mechanics, cleo
tricity, and astronomy; the develop
ment of spectrum analysis and the con-
sequent discoveries respecting light and
electricity; and the discovery Of the ma
ture and functions Of bacteria, and Of
their Influences, for veal or woe, upon
living rganisms.-Nature.

rATrERs is JEALOUS.
A Horse with a Disposition Decidedly
Jealous

Jealous
In a boarding stable in New York
there is a horse whose name is Tatters.
He is the pet of Mrs. D., who owns
and drives him. She always gives him
an apple or carrot before starting on
a drive and another after returning,
the latter being given after the bride
to wait patiently for the dainty until
that time, On the same floor of the
stable is Mr.. BIS horse, Phil. Mrs. D.
used frequently TO give an apple 10
Phil, after giving one to Tatters. The
latter would manifest displeasure at
this in mild way, but his demonstra-
tions never went beyond the shaking Of
his head and laying back of his ears.
But one evening while Tatters, who had
just come in, was waiting for the re-
moval OF his bride, Phil, who was
ahead of him, was the recipient Of an
apple from Mrs. d. hand as she stood
talking to Mr.. B. A moment later the
groom had removed Tatters' bride, and
at once his mistress offered him his
apple, He turned his head away ard
refused to touch the fruit. Mrs. D.
followed him to his stall and tried to
coax him, but he began munching his
hay and would not look at her. Then
Mr. B., and after him, the groom, tried
to induce Tntters to take the apple,
but to no purpose; he was hurt because
his mistress had given an apple to Phil
before giving one to him, and he would
not forgive the affront. His owners
feelings were much like those of the
horse, and she left the stable with tears
in her eyes. Before starting out the
next day she had a friend give a car
rot instead Of an apple to Tatters, in
the hope that If he had not forgotten
the unintended affront the carrot might
break the association with the apple
He took the carrot eagerly. Then he
took one from his mistress hand, and
you may be sure she has never since
then given apples or carrots to another
horse while Tatters was in sight.

In Morocco everything is sold in the
name of the ProQhet. The storekeepor,
the auctioneer and even the pedlar calls
upon Mohammed or one Of the saints
to aid him in disposing of his wares
The auctioneer who sells a slave girl
or rug interlards his talk with many
illusions to the Moorish deities. In the
streets it is no uncommon thing to hear
such cries as, I'm the name of our Lord
Mohammed Al Hadji Popcorn! Pop

In SerYia.

A traveller through Servia will often
notice dolls hung up inside the cottage
windows His first idea is one of sur
prise that the children should so
choose this particular spot to store
their toys. But presently he learns that
the dolls are put up as a sign to an
nounce to wayfarers that a marriage
able daughter dwells in the house. The
idea Is to remind acquaintance from
other villages who may have forgotten
her existence. This custom is natural
ly confined to peasants, but nearly
every house has a wreath of corn ears
hung up on the outer wall. This
wreath is brought back from the har-
vest festival, and there is a superstition
that If 1t be stolen, a daughter Of the
house will shortly be married. Where
this is particularly desired, care is TAX
en- to suspend the wreath we'll within
