Theodore Davies Boyhood.
perthshire. scotland. Journ


A romantic little story comes from Blair
gowrie Some twenty-eight or twenty-nine
years ago little lad appeared In the town,
hungry and ragged. He had no friends,
and his pitiful case awoke the sympathy
of an old soldier named Smith, and of
Mrs. Bissett, Wellmeadow. 1t was found
out that he had run away from school IN
Surrey. Mrs. Bissett housed him Tor
week or more, rugged him out In some OF
her own children's clothes. and paid his
fare back to Surrey. The young lad has
since developed into the present chief JUS
tfce OF British Columbia, Mr.. Theodore
Davie. who was premier of that colony in
1892 and EDWARDS. That Chief Justice Da-
vie has not forgotten his early adventure
in Blair is shown by a letter which Mrs.
Bissetts daughter has Just received from
him. referring to the kindness which her
mother showed him, inquiring about all
the family and the old pensioner Smith.
and inclosing a sum Of money in repay
irlent of Mrs. Bissett's outlay on his be-
half He also speaks Of probable visit
TO Blair.

IT IS an interesting circumstance that
Prof. Huxley. who had Witnessed the pro
gr,ess OF the do6tu-irre of evolution to what
seemed but yesterday decisive triumph.
and who was the most jealous and agSres-
sive of it's English champions. should have
died at the time WREN he was rneditatiug
a reply TO the books OF Mr.. A. j. Balfour,
Mr., BENJAMIN Kidd and Prof. Henry
Drummond. which marks a sharp reac-
rtaon against the evolutionary philosophy.
His death, following that of Tyndall, whom
Darwin had preceded. leaves Mr.. Herbert
Spencer the sole survivor of the four pow
erful upholders OF the views regarding
mans relation to lower forms of life and
to the cosmos. which are compendiously
described as the development hypothesis.
By his individual work in his special de-
partment of science, biology, Prof. Hux-
ley made important additions to the facts
and truths gathered by Darwin from his
observations OF animals and plants, by
Tyndall from his researches In physics,
and by Mr.. Spencer from his studies in
sociology, and upon which. collectively
considered, the doctrine of evolution is
based. II was. OF course. his contributions
to exact knowledge in the particular field
of biological investigation that caused him
ciety. But he was honored by scores Of
thousands who were unacquainted with
the value OF his achievements in the line
of strictly scientific inquiry. but who could
appreciate the admirable clearriess of his
expositions aid the animation and the
vigor OF his controversial writings. No
Engiishman OF his time, not even Mr.
Spencer, has combined with scientific COM
petence such remarkable literary gifts,
nor has any other man done so much to
popularize the discoveries, conclusions
and surmises of science throughout the
English-speaking world. He has done for
England In the last half OF the nineteenth
century what Voltaire did for France I'm
the last half of the eighteenth: he has
been the great expounder OF the drift of
philosophical opinion. the chief inter-
prefer of the non-religious thought OF his
day.
