Kamr Traits.

we make an extract from Il work on
South Africa by General Cunynghame,
at one time commander of the British
forces in that region. The Kaffirs are
true savages in their capacity for enor-
nous eating on the one hand, and for
enduring famine on the other. We
read:
1.-THE quantity of meat which a Kaffir
can devour is miraculous. Pound after
pound vanishes before him, nor does he
appear torpid or less active in conse-
quence. 1t is by no means uncommon
for couple of men to finish small
sheep in twenty-four hours They are
not at all particular what part of the ami
NAL they eat. Pieces which we should
consider revolving meet from them the
most ready appreciation, and apparently
every portion is as digestible as it is pala-
table. | was told that bullock that had
been left by transport rider was bitten
in the tongue by an adder while grazing.
The OK, feeling the stinging pain, elected
the snake from its mouth, and an hour
atterward was dead. 1t was skinned by
nativs and the meat eaten by them.
Strange to say, none of the Kaffirs suffer-
ed any i'll effects. They are possessed of
stomachs of extraordinary capacity, and
apparently invulnerable. The Kaffirs,
ttibllOuSh lNtNly W Qlltn-
titles of meat when they can procure it,
are frequently compelled to suffer from
famine. In this extremity they tie
leather rims round their stomachs. They
call this the girdle of famine, and they fiji
the vacuum by drinking water"
Ofone of the chiefs we read as follows:
" Umthonthlo is always accompanied by
six followers, excellent shots, and armed
with Winchester rifles, each loaded with
their charges. He not unfrequently uses
these weapons against his own subjects
when they displease him. A few months
ago he was informed that young man of
his tribe had been presenting snuff to one
of his wives. He summoned the lady,
accused her of accepting the pinch of
snuff, and added that unless she gave up
the name of the man he would put her to
death. His body-guard stood with load
ed rifles, ready to put the sentence in
execution. Thus frightened, she gave up
the name of the man who had paid her
this trifling attention. Umthonthlo
summoned him to his presence, and de-
manded his reason for presenting snuff to
his wife. The excuse not being satisfac-
tory, he called for a Winchester, and,
aiming at the chest of the young man,
shot him. His sister upbraided him for
his rashness; he gave this remarkable
answer: do not blame me, but rather
the man that told me of it; he is the per-
son in fault. ~

In the bodily mechanism when the liver
gete out of order. Constipation dyspepsia con-
temination of tho blood, imperfect assimilation,
are certain TO ensue. But it is easy to prevent
these consequences, and remove their cause, by
course of IIostetters Stomach Bitters, which
stimulates the hillary organ and regulates its
action. The direct result is a disappearance of
the pains beneath the ribs and through the
shoulder blade the nausea, headaches, yellow
ness of the skin, furred look of the tongue, and
sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver
complaint. Sound digestion and n regular
habit of body are blessings also secured by the
use of this celebrated restorative of health,
which imparts degree of vigor to the BODY
which is its best guarantee of safety from ma
larial epidemics. Nerve weakness and over
tension are relieved by it, and il improves both
appetite and sleep.
The Physical Paradox,
IL has been said that " the blood is the source
OF life" II is as truly the source of disease and
death. No life, that is to say, no healthy tis-
sue can be generated from impure blood no
organ of the body can normally perform its
functions when supplied with impure blood.
The fluid that should carry life and health TO
every part carries only weakness and disease
Blood is the source of life only when il is pure.
If 1t has become diseased, il must be cleansed by
proper medication, else every pulsation of the
human heart sends n wave of disease through
the system. To cleanse the blood of all impu-
rites, use DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry and Pleasant Purgative Pellets the most
elfectual Alternative, tonic and cathartic reme-
dies yet discovered. They are specially oni-
cent in scrofulous diseases

Through 10 Chicago.

Billy Mead, one Of the popular con-
ductors of the Chicago, St. Paul and
Minneapolis road, had pretty good
joke played upon him the other day.
On the day in question it seems there
were four husky looking criminals
on the train, who: were being taken
to Detroit, in basRacles, and Thought
to have a little funfby refusing to'pay
their way.
"Tiekets," says Billy.
ave haven't got any ticket" re-
sponded the sauciest one in the lot.
"No tickets?" retorted the conduc-
tor, as his brow darkened. ~.
"No, sir; no tickets nor money
either" replied another. :
"Where are you going?"
"To Chicago, and we propose to go
on this train," chimed in the quar-
tette.
"You do, eh2" said Billy, as he rose
to the magnitude of the OCCASION
II tell you, you will get off at the
next station, every son of you"
every well, boss, just take this jew
elry of from our feet and we'll get
down and off now," and Mead had no
more than taken in the situation when
three or four of the passengers who
were near by and understood the joke,
sent upa hearty laugh at his expense.
Then he saw that he had been sold,
but the bilks went through to Chi
cago.

An Underground Lake.

A wonderful underground lake has
been discovered near Hemelen, AL
geria, near the picturesques cascades
of that place. Some miners had
blasted an enormous rock near the
cascades, and on removal of the de-
bris found it had covered a large
opening into a cave, the floor Of
which was covered with water
Constructing rude raft, and provi.
ding themselves with candles, the
workmen sailed along this under
ground river, which at distance Of
sixty meters was found to mergeinto
a large lake of limpid water. The
roof Of the cavern was very high,
and covered with stalactites, the
brilliant colors of which sparkled un-
der the light Of the candles. Con-
tinuing their course, the workmen
had at certain places to navigate
their craft between the stalactitcs,
which, meeting stalagmites from the
bed of the lake, formed enormous col.
umns, which looked as if they had
been made expressly to sustain the
enormous arches. They thus reach.
ed the extremity of the lake, where
they noticed d large channel extend.
ing toward the south, into which wa
ter quietly made its way. This is
supposed to be large fssure which
has baflled exploration hitherto at
Sebdon, and which connects the cas-.
cades with that locality, and thus
with the mysterious sources of the
Tatna. 1t is possible that here they
have found an immense natural ba-
sin, supplied by powerful sources, and
sending part of its waters toward
the lake, while the rest goes to Seb-
don. The workmen estimated the
distance underground traversed by
them at three kilometcrs, and the
breadth by the lake at two. They
brought out with them quantity
of fish, which swarmed round the
raft, and which were found to be
blind.

from the earliest known geological
periods, but it would appear that the
latter found Strata are more calcare-
.ops than the earlier, and that there
has beenia gradually progressive in
crease Of calcareous matter. The
very extensive disposition Of carbon
ate of lime over wide areas Of the
ocean botiom,at the present day is
sufficiently attested by the recent
soundings of the Challenger Ac,
c6rding to the authors estimate tho
sedementary crust Of the earth is at
least one mile average actual thick
ness, of which, probably, one,tenth
consists of, ,calcareous matter. In
seeking the origin of this calcareous
matter il isassumed that the primi-
tiverocks of the original crust were
of the nature of gigantic or basaltic
rocks. By the disintegration of such
rocks, calcareous and other sedemen.
tary deposits have been formed
The amount Of lime salts in waters
which drain districts made up of
GRANTEES and basalts, is found, by the
comparison Of analysis, to be on an
average of about 3,78 part in 100000
parts, 1t is further assumed that
the excessed areas of igneous rocks,
taking an average throughout ali
geological time, will bear to exposure
of sedementary rocks a ratio Of one
to nine. From these and other data,
Mr.. Reade concludes that the elimin-
