Brains and Scientists.

Famous brains are of four sorts.
The lowest group contains the minds
that are stimulated greatly by alcohol,
tea and other drugs, and by impress
sions derived from the senses; the
second group contains the infant prodi-
gies, whose intellectual powers wane
in middle age; the third group con-
tains the pathological cases usually
terminating in insanity; the fourth
and highest group is that of true
geniuses, whose powers remain unim.
paired until old age. This is Hause.
mann's classification.
Spitzka has come 30 the conclusion
that men eminent in exact sciences
like astronomy and mathematics have
the greatest average brain weight.
Next come the men Of action, includ-
ing statesmen and artists, and after
these come the biologists, biologists
and other representatives of the dc.
scriptive sciences.

The TnValid Crawl"

Alas! Somebody in England with
nothing better to do has invented a
new walk and 1t is being taken up
here, says the Philadelphia Telegraph.
At the start of practice girl must tie
weights TO the bottom of her skirt. In
walking she must appear to be so
weary that she scarcely can drag one
foot after another. Her steps must be
long and creepy, without the slightest
hint of energy. Thus walks Queen
Alexandra, who adds slight limp, as
she las becs, lame since infancy. 1t is
limited that laEguid movements were
designed to hide that defect. Gowns
must be of stuff that gives a clinging
effect; then the slow. long step, with
a bending of the neck at every stride.
will be the most effective.
