Palm Sunday in Genoa.
One of the dearest of gala-days to
the hearts of the Genoese people is
Palm Sunday. Spring, that well-be
loved season to the Italian, is then at
hand, with its promise of fruit and
flowers, and its days are one long,
bright flood of sunshine. The Genoese
begin. their preparations for celebrat
ing Palm Sunday days beforehand.
On Monday the market of San Do
mingo is filled with peasants, who
bring palms from the Rivera, and by
Wednesday the long leaves are
bleached and ready to be shaped into
the curious forms that Italian customs
prescribed for this occasion. Handed
down from generations long dead the
Genoese have a process by which
these branches are dyed a pale yellow
color, that they may better endure,
unshriveled, as wsacred guards and
memories from Eastertidé to Easter
tide.
The palm branches are, of course,
symbolic of those that were strewed
in front of the Saviour, and when con
secrated by the priests of His church
they become sacred—From “The Fes
tival of the Palms in Genoa,” by An
netta Halliday-Antona, in the Woms

MATHEMATICAL FACULTY IN ANI
; MALS.
A Recent Investigator Led to Con
clude That It Does Not Exist.
In the last number of the Revue Sci
entifigue, M. Ernesto Mancini exam
ines at length the question as to
whether or not animals have a mathe
matical faculty and are capable of de
veloping this faculty. The illustra
tions employed by M. Mancini are
those which are familiar to every one,
and which at first glance seem to in
dicate that animals do possess such a
faculty and that it is capable of devel
opment, although within certain nar
row limits.
The conclusion of M. Mancini is
that however rudimentary the faculty
may be, that faculty which appreciates
the number of any particular objects
or class of objects, contains, as its
starting point, memory. It seems to
day well established that even among
the inferior animals memory exists,
and that it is developed little by little
in proportion as we mount the scale of
organized beings, but at the same time
if we assemble all the different facts
and considerations in reference to ani
mals, we reach the conclusion that it
is impossible that theanimal possesses
the power of a#hmetical calculation
as we understard it. This is likewise
true of the possession of the faculty
even to a slight degree, for, as Vignoli
justly states, it is necessary to deal
with the same conditions in the posses
sion of the minimum of this faculty as
in the possession of its maximum.
What the animal lacks is general
judgment. It is lacking in articulateé
speech and consequently in the ex
plicit exercise of the intelligence, in
all that goes into the formation of an
idea of number and of its develop
ment. On the other hand, it has been
clearly proved that just to a certain
point the notion of time does not es
cape the animal, not as abstract num
bers and abstract quantities independ
ent of the concrete obiects, but as a
comparison of groups or of simultane
ous and consecutive images of objects.
In this case the animal presents a cer
tain analogy to the child and the sav
age, with this difference, that the two
latter can progress, while the animal
cannot. Hachet Souplet, who made at
the natural history museum of Paris
many and extremely interesting ex
periments with the view of determin
ing the intelligence of animals, states
that it is necessary to find an appro
priate stimulus in order to induce the
animal to seach its own intelligence
and to prepare it to understand what
is required of it. In general it may
be said that human intelligence is
formed of a series of conscious facts
which incessantly succeed each other,
but that in the mind of the animal, on
the contrary, we have only a presenta
tion of isolated facts of consciousness.
Fate of the Three Men.
There were onece three men who
gave a great deal of thought to the
problem of what to do the first of the
year, :
The first man announced that he had
sworn off all his bad habits. And
everybody said he was always a wild
character, and it would be well to keep
closer watch than ever on him, as now
there was no telling when he would
cut loose worse than ever.
The second man, seeking to profit by
the experience of the first, declared
that he had not sworn off because he
had no bad habits to discard, The re
sult was that everybody pronounced
him a hardened wretch, who was in
-sensible and indifferent to the duties
of life.
The third man studied their cases,
and concluded that the best thing he
could do would be to say nothing
whatever. Whereupon everybody as
serted that he was too calloused to re
form and was not worthy of any re
spect at all.
This simply goes to show that, no
mattér how you guess, you will guess
wrong.
In 1867 the Dominjon banks had less
than $80,000,000 of assets. They now
have $600,000,000.
