FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
SILT RACING IN FRANCE.

Wonderful Endurance Shown by the Men
and Women of the Peasantry.
In certain parts Of France silt walk
ing is a necessary accomplishment. In
she Landes, for example, everybody uses
them--the postman On his rounds, the
peasant going to market the shepherd
tending his floeks, even the little chill
dren-the nature of the country de-
mands it.
One day Landais peasant came into
Bordeaux ON his stills, and the idea of
silt races came into being. The silt
race of 1892, described by writer in
The Sketch, demonstrated the wonderful
endurance Of these peasants, both male
and female.
If one takes into consideration the
great heat that prevailed, the hardness
of the roads, the speed to be maintained
if one aspired to win and the scanty al
iowance of food, drink and sleep, one
cannot but marvel at the hardness of
these people. Out of SO male starters 80
accomplished the enormous journey of
490 kilometers In the fixed TINA of eight
days and half. Certainly many suffered

great fatigue, and some complained of
numbness, but none was seriously i'll.
One or two had at length to climb down
and walk, vanquished by the fierce
sun.
It is an interesting fact that at first
che mems route was simply Bordeaux,
Bayonne and back, but the authorities
begged that the course might be extend

nlarly as they were just then entertain
ing his majesty King Oscar II of Swe-
den.
The first prize winner and the cham
pion of all was Pierre Deycard of Bilos,
commune of the Gironde. He won the
most valuable of the many medals, be-
sides 1000 francs and number of
minor cash prizes, His time was 1913
hours SO minutes and his average 4
kilometers 938 meters an hour, inolud-
ing stops His progress was a veritable
tour de force. He was terribly anxious
to win. His short snatches of sleep were
broken by dreams, in which he seemed
to be buying COWS with the prize money
and settling down to married life with
his sweetheart. at ST. Vincent de Te-
xosse he was followed by musicians,
who played "La Marseillaise" with so
great an effect upon the crowd that one
gave him 10 francs, another 20, and Sc
on.
At OAK he found 200 people wait
ing for him. He was too fatigued to
notice them and had to ask his cycling
escort to roar at him in order to keep
him awake. He even dozed on his stills,
still striding mechanically. Camphorat-
ed brandy frictions were tried to get rid
of the eramp that threatened him.
Young girls came out to meet him with
laurel wreaths and bouquets, and every
where he was hailed like oonquering
Roman general.

A GREAT PROBLEM.

The Missing link Between Inorganic and
Organic Life.
One great life problem remains which
the doctrine of evolution does not touch.
The origin Of species, genera, orders
and classes of beings through endless
demonstrations is in sense explained,
but what of the first term of this long
series? Whence came that primordial
organism whose transmitted descendants
make up the existing faunas and floras
of the globe?
There was a time, soon after the doc
trine of evolution gained hearing,
when the answer to that question seem
ed to some scientists of authority to
have been given by experiment. Recur-
ring to a former belief and repeating
some earlier experiments, the director
of the museum of natural history at
Rouen, NJ f. A. Pouchet, reached the
conclusion that organic beings are spon-
taneously generated about us constantly
in the familiar processes of putrefac-
ton, which were known to be due to
the agency of microscopic bacteria. But
in 1862 Louis Pasteur proved that this
seeming spontaneous generation is III
reality due to the existence of germs in
the air. Notwithstanding the eonclu-
siveness of these experiments, the claims
of Pouchet We're revived in England
ten years later by Professor Bastian,
but then the experiments of John Tyn-
dali, fully corroborating the results of
Pasteur, gave a final quietus to the claim
of spontaneous generation" as hitherto
formulated.
There for the moment the matter
rests But the end is not yet. Fauna
and flora are here, and, thanks to La
marek and Wallace and Darwin, their
development, through the operation of
those secondary causes" which we
call laws Of nature, has been proximal
ly explained. The lowest forms of life
have been linked with the highest in
unbrolzen chains of descent Meantime,
through the efforts of chemists and
biologists, the gap between the inorganic
and the organic worlds, which once
seemed almost infinite has been con-
stantly narrowed. Already philosophy
can throw bridge across that gap. But
induetive science, which builds It's own
bridges, has not yet spanned the chasm,
small though it appear. Until it shall.
have done SO the bridge of organic evo-
luton is not quite complete, yet even
as it stands today it is the most stupen-
dous scientific structure of our century

Isn't It Awful?

There is little maiden
Who has an awful time.
She has to hurry awfully
To get to school at nine.
She has an awful teacher.
Her tasks are awful hard
Her playmates are all awful rough
When playing in the yard
she has an awful kitty,
Who often shows her claws;
a dog who jumps upon her dress
With awful muddy paws
She has baby sister
With an awful little nose.
With awful cunning dimples
And such awful little toes.
She has two little brothers,
And they are awful boys,
With their awful drums and trumpets,
And make an awful noise.
Do come, l pray thee, common sensel
Come and this maid defend,
Or else, fear. her awful life
Will have an awful end.
