CetywayO in ais War Gear.

| An "OId Co onist' contributes to an
English paper the following description
of the King of the Zulua: ellis eyes
were exceptionally large and brilliant.
but his forehead, though broad for Katir,
was very receding, while the lower part
of his face denoted determined and
brutal nature. He was very elaborately
dressed. Over his shoulders was fastened
a leopard skin keeros or cloak, reaching
down to the back Of his knees; round
his loins he wore handsome moochy-
lhst is, band of tiger-cat skins, with a
deepfringe of stri psot the same skin hang
ing downward. His wrists and ankles
were decorated with rings of red, white,
and black beads, and his hair with sew
eral ostrich feathers. In the slit in his
right ear (the distinguishing mark of
the Zulus, who are all SO cut IN the lobe
of both ears in infancy hecarried very
ornamental snuff-box, made from piece
of bamboo cane, carved and decorated
with beads, and in the slit of his left ear
he carried a comb. The Zulu comb is
about six inches long, and is made of
bone or ivory. The top of the handle is
of tie shape of bowl of a spoon, and
with it they measure out snuff
The lower part is deliberately carved.
Tue teeth, of which there are
only three, are fully four inches long, and
resemble the prongs Of fj'', i0ra. in his
rIgn..t hand Cetywayo carried hunting
assegal, and on his left arm his shield.
The hunting SHE d is much smaller than
the war shield, and is made in this way:
A bullocks skin is dried, and out of ttne
center a piece is cut of the required size
and shape, only one shield being obtained
from one skin. The center is supported
by slips of tough green hide, and from
top to bottom on the inside a stout sick
is fixed, by which the shield is held; and
mostly, as was the case with Cetywayo's,
the top of the stick is surmounted by the
tail of the tiger cat"

Mr.. Whiffen seems to have been wait
ing all these years for the role of the
Admiral" and to see and hear him in
it is to acquire marked repugnance to
seeing anybody else in it. Tom Whilten,
by the way, is ono of the most undemon-
stratably gifted fellows in a profession
where genius is held to be the normal
condition of everybody. He is the best
musician, in the double sense of natural
endowment and acquired art, Of any
singer on our dramatic stage to-day. In
fact, 50 faciIe in his art, and so easily
does he accomplish any given task in
voralism, that the observer is apt to think
he has no heart in it, it being a common
thing to Judge Of heart by the amount of
palpltation. Poet, wit, scholar, author,
play wright, musician and Bohemian
Tom Whifien has all at once attracted
attention in a hippant bit of irony quite
below his abilities, and won popular APP
plause by SINGING music not nearly as
good as he has written himself.

Mr.. Cyrus w. Field told reporter

81 may have said that if the reporter
who doubtless had interviewed Satan at
some time would show me where he was
executed meaning of course Satan and
not the Sun reporter-I would gladly
mark the spot with stone."
But Mr., Field, your observation i'm
plies more than this; it implies that SItan
is really dead, and that you know it. Or,
as your distinguished legal brother might
say-the one as advocate and the other
as judge-a question which assumes an
unproven fact is Objectionable in law" +"

all that is going on, prepared to assert
that Satan is dead. And if any one
should cause me by false intelligence to
place II monumental head3tone over the
alleged spot of Satan's execution, he
might, like his ward, who came rom Il
Coleraine cemetery, live to eat the hen
that scratched over his grave"
With which words of elevated raillery
Mr.. Field courteoualy excused himself.

He looked hale and hearty, and to all
appearances but little older than when |
heard him sing "Ihe Ship on Fire" a
quarter ot a century ago. "My first idea"
he said to Ne, "of writing descriptive
music, that is, musical accompaniments
to dramatic stories, originated with my
admiration for American oratory. When

quent and passionate speakers who could
sway crowds at will; they inspired me,

MISTAKEN

A late issue of prominent political and
mercantile paper published in Cincinnati
contained an article upon cooperation
that presents a number of mistatements
that are calculated to misead some OF the
many new students in this school of econ
omy. 1t says ''Co-operative supply stores
are simply ioint-stock corporations with
shares cut up so fine, so as to 90 round
among great number" This most GER
tainly is not the case. Be the shares large
or small, cut up fine, or not cut up, the
profits or dividends on these shares, or to
the holder, is in proportion to the number
of shares he holds, dividing the profits
upon the business that Others have con-
tributed, among shareholders. This is the
joint stock plan. Cooperation, as applied
to supply stores, means that the profits of
the business that the iNdtuidasat contributes
comes back to him, not as stockholder,
in proportion to his shares, but as CO.
operator, in proportion to the amount of
business he has contributed. Joint stock
holders dividends come from their stock.
Co-operators' dividends comes from the
business the individual himself contributes.
Cooperation is spoken of in England
and in this country as an experiment that
twill soon run its course" How long
time is needed before it ceases to be an
experiment? Nearly fifty years ago-al-
most the life of two generations-a few
poor weavers at Rochdale, England put
their slender earnings together and CO.
operated In the purchase of piece of ba
con at wholesale, divided it out among
themselves at regular rates leaving the
retail profits thus saved, added to the first
sum, put in to buy larger amount of
bacon and other articles This has gone
on all these years, until hundreds of CO.
operative associations exist among all
classes and millions of capital are invest
ed in all branches of business. Operatives
in the great mills and factories, clerks in
stores. government EMPLOYEES, even the
preachers, have their cooperative estab.
lishments, and in London the CARRIAGES of
the rich are drawn up before the store in
which they are coo operatives. It is no
longer an experiment; has been long tried
and proven; never so successful as now.
never SO popular.
Another assertion made, is that cit is di.

THE CASH SYSTEM

There IS more money made and more
money saved by farmers adopting the cash
system in all their dealings than is often
made from the profits of the crop. Far
mers generally sell their produce for cash,
and they always should do it; and they
should endeavor to raise such crops and
stock as will bring in cash income
throughout different months; then you can
always buy cheaper for the cash, and you
will surprised at the end of the year to find
SO great saving.
The credit system has been great curse
to the West, and if the Grange can sue
cessfully bring about cash system which
they ably advocate, that alone will more
than repay the entire cost of the organi-
zation.
With the coming of the New Year let
farmers universally, with one accord,
adopt the cash system and practice it.
Never buy what you cannot pay for. That
system is adopted by European farmers,
and is strictly lived up to there, and they
save by it handsome profit every wear.
Then, too, every farmer should keep an
account of all sales and purchases. to see
what pays best, and where the money
goes.-Western Agdculturst.
