The Texas Incident.
Admiral Schley proceeds TO give 8
vivid description Of the battle. telling
how each vessel behaved and how the
Spanish were annihilated. He sets forth
the course of the Brooklyn in some de-
tail and tells the famous Texas incl
dent" in these words:
There was no colIoquy Of any kind
or Of any character, with anyone at the
time about the turn. and none would
have been permitted with any officer.
That was one of many fictiOns that
grew up among others, six or eight
months after the night Among them
was the Texas incident. That ship was
never for moment in the least danger
from the Brooklyn During the turn
her distance was never nearer than 500
or Goo yards from the Brooklyn.

Report to Sampson.
Admiral Schley finishes an exceeding
ly well written account Of the fight, re-
lates the arrival Of the New York, and
his going aboard the flagship to report
to Admiral Sampson. He says:
Arriving on board the New York, the
comma mander-in-chief received the COM
mander Of the second squadron. Very
naturally. he appeared TO be disap-
pointed that an unfortunate CIrcum-
stance had prevented the New York
from participating in the glOries Of that
days work
Sampson and Jervis.
There was little time for more than a
cursory report, but Admiral Schley
makes II evident that his superior Of
ficer was in bad humor at being cheated
out of the glory Of wiping the Spanish
feet of the continent. BY way Of con
trast. he refers again to the battle OF St
Vincent and tells how Grand old Jer.
Wis" when Nelson came aboard the flag
ship. took Nelson In his arms, saying
he could not thank him enough. but In
sisted that Nelson should retain the
sword he had so valiantly won.
The sequel is a matter OF history

Authorities speak of the use of or

its ripe golden fruit and fragrant flow

fruitfulness, and this, We may take r.,
Is the main reason Of the pleasing GUS

In Crete the bride and bridegroom
are sprinkled with orange flower wa
ter and in Sardinia oranges are at
tached to the horns Of the oxen which
draw the nuptial carriage. DR.. Brewer
says that Saracen brides carried or
ange blossoms at weddings and suS
gests that our modern custom is q sur
viyal or revival of theirs.
The custom appears to have been in
troduced from France into England
about 1S2O-3O. According to Littre
"Women at their marriage Wear a
crown Of orange buds and blossoms;
hence the orange blossom is taken as a
symbol of marriage"

Infantile rve1opme

1t is wonderful enough that infants
of a few weeks or months should make
unmistakable manifestations of the
simpler emotions of fear, affection and
anger. but shat an emotion so complex
as jealousy should appear so early as
at the age Of ten months is especially
remarkable and indicates a degree of
development at this age which in the
absence of observation might jus.'y be
deemed incredible. Darwin observed
jealousy in an infant of fifteen and
one-half months, but adds. 1T would
probably be exhibited by infants at an
earlier age if they We're tried in fit
