consequently highly intelligent. They
used to come home regularly at the
sound of horn to be fed, assembling
from all parts Of the forest within
hearing. These admirable animals
have recently afforded two examples
Of the connection between mobility and
brains which, though not intended as
scientific experiments, will doubtless
be welcome to philosophers. In the
one case, the Sherwood Forest pigs,
which had retained their mobility were
excluded by a cruel law from the en-
joyment of free range in the woods
about the time when acorns and beech
mast are most toOthsome, and when
their connections in Spain, under a
happier dispensation, are enjoying
those peculiarly large and delicious
acorns which make the real foundation
of Spanish hams. The pigs always
found a means to escape from their
sites into the forest, and were so full
of resource that their owners basely
procured the degeneration of the whole
race by making them less mobile by
crossing them with particularly fat
and lazy class of pig from Naples. On
the other hand, it was found, we be-
lieve by the Austrian Government in
Bosnia, that the round and snub-nosed
Berkshire pig, which connoisseurs had
gradually bred as a degenerate in mind
and mentally quite incapable of talk
ing care of itself Accordingly, the
authorities informed their agents that
a long-legged pig was Indispensable
for their needs if the government stock
was to flourish and impress the natives
of the annexed provinces, and the an
imal required was procured from Ire

INACTIVITY KILLS INTELLIGENCE
With Animals Brains and Mobility
Go Together.


Among animals it is very largely
true that mobility and brains go to-
gether where others things are fairly
equal There are some creatures, like
tn house fly, in which everything else
seems to have been sacrificed to secure
locomotive powers of an extraordinary
character. But, as a rule, the mann
NAL which can travel to seek its food
or change it's abode is distinctly more
intelligent than the more sedentary and
stay at home species. Motion, also
suggests versatility as well. Rabbits
are, on the whole the most stay at
home of any of our rodents. If left
to themselves they would never move
further from the mouths of their bur-
rows than to the edge of the nearest
piece Of grass, and il grass reaches up
to the burrow itself, they merely edge
forward, eating a fresh slice every day,
like a moving machine being pushed
backward and forward. The result has
been bad for rabbits brains. Their
cousins, the hares, though our English
race has never thought Of making a
burrow except in snow time, are far
more intelligent. One of COwper's
tame hares would give him plainly to
understand when it wanted him to
come into the garden, and licked his
hand after he had been at pains to take
care Of it during illness.
There is no doubt that the domestic
pig has lost nearly all it's original and
large stock of brains owing to long
confinement in sites and a steady
course of breeding for the ideal ham or
an approach to perfection in ribs Of
bacon. The New Forest and Sherwood
Forest pigs were highly active, and

ROSES or OLD cHIos.
Queen of Flowers Had Unique Dis
tInction in Ancient Greece.

Although the rose is SO popular
throughout all the world now that
great fortunes are being earned by
growers everywhere, the queen Of the
flowers does not enjoy the unique posi-
ton that she held in ancient Greece.
The love Of the old Greeks. and
particularly the Athenians, for the
rose was almost akin to worship, and
many high liver in those days has
gone down in history as having spent
his whole patrimony in roses for
feasts.
The Greeks knew nearly all the
general varieties of roses that are
known to us. both single and double
blossoms, and big tracts of land were
taken out Of the grain and food pro-
ducing area in order to grow roses.
The old island of Chios was almost
entirely an island of roses. and to
those who approached it from the sea
it presented the appearance of a gi-
gantic bouquet Of red and white and
yellow blooms, with the shining white
pillars Of temples and villas CLEAN
ing from the splendor of the flowers.
ShiplOads of roses were sent to
Athens every day from Chios. That
was probably the most beautiful
freight that ever went by sea since
the world began. and it must have
been a glorious sight to see the gal
leys, all decked with flowers. steering
over the blue Aegean sea.
Roses We're used for emblems OF
joy and sorrow. for triumph and de-
feat A wreath Of roses ornamented
the bride. ard wreaths of roses
decked those who We're going to their
graves. The victor entered cities
over a path of roses. and wherever he
trod during his triumphal march, the
blossoms formed carpet for his feet.
In, old Rome. too. the rose was con-
sidered the most precious Of flowers.
On May % a great rose feast used to
begin in Rome in memory OF the dead,
and for a week or more the cemeter-
les were literally overwhelmed with
the flowers. In the great item of i'm
perial Rome the guests at big feasts
sat on rose petals that were piled
high around them. The floor was car
peted with them and men We'd with
each other to find new and extraya-
CANT uses for the beloved flowers.

Why People stammer.

Stammering depends on want of
harmony between the action of the
muscles (chiefy abdominaD which ex-
pei air through the larynx and that Of
the muscles which guard the orifce by
which it escapes with that of those
which modulate the sound to the form
of speech. Over either Of the groups
of muscles by itself a stammerer may
have as much power as other people,
but he cannot harmoniously arrange
their conioint action. Nervousness is
O. frequent cause of stammering. 1t is
possible that the defect in some in
stances may result from malformation
of the parts about the back of the
mouth. The fact that stammering
people are able to sing their words
better than to speak them has been
usually explained on the suppositiOq
that in singing the CLOTHS is kept open
so that there is less liability to spas

Japanese Surround Port Arthur.

CHEZ Foo, July 3l.-A Japanese
merchant has received word from a
Chinese whom he trusts to the effect
that the japanese have captured every
position surrounding the besieged
fortress OF Port Arthur with the ex-
ception Of Golden hill. The Chinese
stated that both sides suffered tre-
mendous losses in the operations
necessary to bring about this state of
affairs.
The members of the Russian intelli-
gence bureau here, while denying the
report that Port Arthur has been cap
tured, are inclined to believe the re-
ports due to the extent that the Jap-
anese have made great progress in
their operations about the besieged
fortress.
