How the Zulus Fight.

From my intercourse with the Mata
bles l know the Zulu style of fighting.
Ever since the dreadful tidings | have
had constantly before me the vision OF
ttat Infatuated mass of Zulus, like
thousands of savage gOrillas, rushing on
those devoted men of the Twenty-fOurth.
The Zulus prefer and strive to throw
themselves in overwhelming numbers on
the weakest point of the enemy. With
dauntless courage and the fury of igers
they rush on, without the least concern
for the hundreds falling in their ranks or
the bodies barring their way they pres
on to get to close quarters as speedily as
possible, neither looking to the right nor
LETT, nor dreaming of hiding for mo-
ment behind stones or bushes. They
charge forward, for this reason preferring
the open field. Naturally courageous
and vain of their proves, they firmly
believe that they need only follow
Jne ABOVE H6UttOubtl hdS -iCS anu thCy
must win the day. These men are ruled
by savage despOt. They are trained
as soldiers all their lives in regiments
properly differed, all, in fact, in correc
military style, as near as they can fol
low it. When ranged in order of battle
each man holds a gun in his right hand
small shield is strung round his LETT
arm ,snd in his lett hand he holds long
and short sssegsi At about forty or
fifty PAGES they pause in their headlong
career, and hundreds and thousands OF
spears are hurlsd at the enemy. When
within a few yards of the enemy they
make one last mOmentsry pause, only
to snap the assegai short off across the
left knee, and then their iavOrite hand-tO
hand conflict ensLes. Thus the fight
becomes a slaughter, generally ending in
the complete success of the Zulus.

The Largest Island.

Immediately north of Australia, and
separated from it at Torres Straits by
less than a hundred miles of sea, is the
largest island on the glObe-New Guinea,
a country of SURPRISING interest, whether
as regards its natural productions or its
human inhabitants, but which remains
to this day less known than any Access
sible portion of the earth's surface.
Within the last few years considerable
attention has been attracted toward it
by surveys which have completed our
knowledge of its outline and dimensions,
by the settlement OF English mission
aries on its southern coasts, by the ex-
ploration of several European natural~
lists. and by the visits of Australian
miners attracted by the alleged discOv.
cry of gold in the sands of its rivers.
From these various sources there has
resulted 8 somewhat sudden increase in
our still scanty knowledge of this
hitherto unknown land. 1t has
hitherto been the custom of geogrsphers
to give the palm to BOrnee as the largest
island in the world, but this is decidedly
an error. A careful estimate, founded
on the most recent maps, shows that
New Guinea is considerably the larger,
and must for the future be accorded the
first place. In shape this island differs
considerably from Borneo, being irreg>
uIar and much extended in a north
northwest and sOuth-southesst direction,
so that its greatest length is little
.hort of 1900 miles, distance as great
as the whole width of Australia from
Adelaide to Port Darwin, or Of Europe
from London to COnstantinOple. Its
greatest width is 40 miles; and, omit
ting the great peninsulas which form it's
two extremities, the central mass Is
about 200 miles long, with an average
width OF 800 miles, country about the
size OF the Austrian Empire, and, with
the exception of the course of one large
river, an absolute blank upon our maps

Please, SIR. Don't step There.

A layer of snow was spread over the
icy streets, and pedestrians shod with
India rubber walked carefully towards
the village church on cold frosty monr-
ing in Februsry.

ward, for l was late, / noticed bright
looking little lad standing upon the
pavement With mis- cap in his hand and
his eyes fixed upon one spot on the
sidewalk. As | approached him he
looked mp to me, and pointing to the
place, said "Please don't step there,
sir. slipped there and fell DOWN" ]
thanked the philanthropic little fellow
and passed round the dangerous spot.
" Don't step there" was the theme of
my meditstions during the It mainder OF
the walk. A thousand times since has
the clear voice of that kind-hearted
child rung in my ear, reminding me of
my duty to those around me and urging
me to repeat it whenever it promises to
be useful. "Please, sir, don't step
there"

Brains VS.. Legs.

When Plus TX. was pope, Fanny
Elssler visited Rome, danced, and
set the public crszy. In forty-eight
hours the gilded youth, her admirers,
had subscribed twelve thousand francs,
and bought splendid crown to be pres
sented to her as a testimonial. When
the time came for presenting the dan
seuse with it, one of the subscribers, an
excellent young noble, obtained an audi
ence of the pope and asked if there would
be anything wrong in the presentation
if the pope had objections. 81 have
neither objections to make nor advice to
offer" sad his holiness, 81 but it does
seem to me that you might have pitched
upon a more appropriate gilt. In my
simplicity as a priest, 1 have always
thought that crowns were made for
heads and not for legs" The crown was
duly given to the danseuse, who mean
while had heard of the pope's saying,
and promptly sent the value of the gift
in money to the parish priests for their
DOOR. Plus *. heard of this in his turn,
and when next he met one of the SUBJ
scribers to the testimonial, said to him:
"You were quite right in giving the
woman that crown-she has just proved
that there is more sense in her legs than
you had in your heads"
