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 an’g Home Companion. 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.
