\ Razorbnck's Sense.

While dogs have been celebrated for
semihuman intelligence and cattle have
been known to ovince some practical UNI
derstanding, it was surprise to discover
something like intelligence in an animal
whose stupidity had given occasion for Il
proverb. Not long ago one of the razor
back swine Indigenous to the south made
an essay on the fence of place near by.
1t had been the site of sawmill, and
the fence was built of waste boards re-
naming after the removal of the works.

The mother of nine children, one of the
late Queen Victoria's most womanly
traits was an intense love for little ones.
The queen was proud of her babies She
was exceptionally proud to find that
Prince Arthur as baby was bigger
than the keepers child at Balmoral Of tie
same age. With motherly pride, she Ind
careful measurements Of the latter made
for purposes of comparison.
1t is interesting to note in this conncc
ton that her majesty thought the Duke
of Connaught more like his father in per.
sonal appearance and character than an.
of her other sons.
Another interesting point is that tn
queen incurred a fine Of Is. 3D.. or about
$3.50, for allowing six weeks % elapse
before registering the birth Of he Duke
of Edinburgh.
For the baptizing Of her children the
queen used water from the river Jordan.
