tain extent, merged in past ages
Whence the pygmies came or where
they originated is unknown to us. In
the h~ieroglyphic records of the Egypt
ians and other ancient people are ac-
counts that prove conclusively that the
dwarfs existed in Africa at that time.
However, from native traditions gath
cred by Schweinfurth, Junger and
other travellers, it appears that the lit
tie people occupied land as far north
as the western Nile water shed, and
were driven thence by i%nvasions of
larger blacks. To-day they are con-
fined to the Congo forests and to such
portions of these as extend toward the
Nile water shed and into CAMERON
and French Gaboon. There seems to
be some connection between the pyg-
mics and the bushmen Of South Africa,

theory of the former wider occupancy

proof of a prehistoric, universal, dwarf
people, there is some ground for belief
in the truth of this, and the acceptance
of this theory furnishes US with an ex-
PLANTATION for the general occurrence
of the NEUROLOGICAL dwarfs in human
folklore.
The existence of the pygmies is of
the rudest; they do not practice agri-
culture and keep no domestic animals.
They live by means of hunting and
sharing, eking this out by means of
outskirts of whose tribes they usually
establish their little colonies, though
they are as unstable as water, and
range far and wide through the for
ests. They have seemingly become ac-
quainted with metal eniy through con-
tact with superior beings, and their
weapons were formerly of wood or
stone only. They live in little conicai
huts about four feet high and four feet
in diameter, constructed by thrusting
withes in the ground, tying them to-
gether at the top and matching them
with leaves. Each mar usually has
but n wife. the couples housing to-
gether in a single hut, but as o as a
child leaves the mothers breast a sep
arate hut is constructed for it, and as
we can imagine, some of these are alb
surdly tiny. The women are said to
be affectionate and make dutiful wives.

IRRIGATION F1uME CARRYING WATER OVER A HILL.
From Outing Magazine
THE pYGMIEs OF THE CONGO.

Fol years we have been aware of the
actual existence of a race of pgyinies
in the interior of Africa. And now,
authorities on the subject have ex-
pressed the belief that in this little
known race of black dwarfs, hidden
to-day in the businesses of the tropica!
forests of the Congo, but i'll past CEN
turtles probably far more common and
widespread, we may have the origin
of the dwarfs of tradition. Sir Harry
Johnston, the well-known English ex-
plorer, made famous by his classic dis
covery of the okapi and by his re-
searches among the ape-like little
black people, is of This opinion.
The human type, in all probability,
first emerged from the ape in South
eastern Asia, possibly in India. The
higher types forced the negro from the
continent in an eastward direction,
across the intervening islands, as far
as Australia, and westward into
Africa. Even to-day ape-like negroes
are found in the gloomy forests, who
are doubtless direct descendants of
these early types of man, who probably
closely resembled their simian ances-
tors. They are found on the eastern
border of the Congo woodland and III
other portions Of the Congo basin. and
the attention of scientists was first
called to them by Johnston, Grogan
and Sharpe. They are often dirty vel
lowish brown in color and covered with
Il fine down. Their faces are fairly
hairy, with great prognathism, and re-
treating chins. while in general they
are unintelligent and timid, having lit
tie tribal cohesion and usually living
upon the fringes # higher tribes

HORSE RACING A DELUSION.
So Says William Smith, Brother to
the Late "Pittsburg Phil"

So Says William Smith, Brother TO
the Late "Pittsburg Phil"
When a man has spent 20 years on
the turf and won a fortune during
that time, most persons would consid-
CT him a luck man and think that he
ought to stick to his vocation. But
William Smith, brother to "Pittsburg
Phil" no longer finds the turf an at,
traction to him, and says that he Is
done with it forever.
Brother Bill" as Phil used to call
him, stood on the lawn at the Sara
toga track the other afternoon, and
told a reporter that horse racing was
only a delusion and a snare
There is no money in it," he said,
Il won a fortune during the time my
brother was on the turf, but l spent
it. It's a case of easy come and easy
so. Each year the game grows harder
to beat. Every season more men en-
ter the field; there are more horses
and these increase the chances against
your success"
Ten years ago a man could make
some money on the turf. That was
due to the fact that there were only
q small number of horses in each race.
and that there was one horse owner
to every ten now. 1t was during this
period that all the wealthy plungers
Of today made their money. My
brother Phil was among those who
were successful. Phil, like most of
the other big turfmen, found the game
hard the last two or three years, and
he did not gather any money together
worth speaking about. / also found
that racing was much harder III lost
back much of the money that l have
previously gained here.
IF the rich men find the game hard
to solve and lose money, what chance
have | got with a limited amour OF
cash. If you have any bad health or
your horses go lame much of your in
vestment is wrecked. No, I'll keep
what I've got, visit the track once IN
a while, but my connection with the
turf ended with Pills death.
