Courtship in the Transvaal.

Whenever the son of a Boer goes a
courting, he proceeds in the following
somewhat singular manner: He attires
himself in his gayest apparel, puts his
best pipe in his mouth (without his
pipe the Boer is neither here nor there),
mounts the most spirited horse he can
lay his hands on to make q chiValrous
impression on the object of his afec-
ton, and finally provides himself with
some present to win the heart of the
fair one. After having shaken hands
with all the family, he takes seat and
| tries to appear quite at his ease, but
only succeeds in looking rather foolish.
At last, after the solemn silence, which
on ones paying visit to the Boer all
ways precedes conversation, he inquiries
after the health of every enc present.
The aunt replies, "Why, what shall I
say, nephew? Thank God, / think we
are all middling," The uncle is ever
of opinion " that all is uphill work with
him" The rest of the family merely
say: "Thank you cousin;" and the
young lady whom all this stir is about
preserves most stubborn silence.
Meanwhile the present, generally con-
sisting of dress or some article of
wearing apparel, is produced, and with
some short speech. the last words of
which are but family heard, handed by
the bashful and awkward suitor to the
lady, after which he feels more at his
ease. The future father-in-laW, fully
conscious of his greater wisdom and
moral superiority over the beardsless
suitor, avails himself of the awkward
pause which ensues to oVerWhelm him
with incoherent speculations on the
present Government.
After q short interval the young lady
appears in the robe that has been pre-
sented to her, which her suitor looks on
as token of encouragement. On the
table is placed a candle, which plays no
mean part in the negotiations about to
begin. Till this candle has burnt out
no decisive answer can be given; for
while it is burning, an opportunity is
afforded to the young man to open his
heart to the young lady, and acquaint
her with his prospects; say, 1000 acres
of land, twenty oxen, hundred sheep,
a robust constitution, mother who
bids fair to be a blessing to her
daughter-in-law, a good house of his
own, etc., etc. Sometimes the young
lady brings a very short bit (fOr the
candle always appears with her), and
then the scene is rather distressing, as
it may be sign that she is either in a
hurry to reject his suit, or eager to &C
cept it. In the same way long can
die denotes hesitation. 1t also happens,
l am told, that in the course of CONVEX
sation the girl slyly cuts off a bit Of
the candle; or, making light of all
tedious formalities, suddenly snuffs out
"the lingering taper" and replies to
the suit Of the anxious youth by throw
ing her arms about his neck, making
him happy man for evermore. Rec

What Is a Cold!

On less authority than the London
Lancet would the theory be credited
that the resolve of a person not to take
cold is ample protection against having
one. cit is startling to discover, "
says the Lancet, " how little we know
about the commoner forms of disease.
For example, a 'cold;' what is itP How
is it produced, and in what does it con-
sistP 1t is easy to say a cold is chill.
A chill of what part of the organismP
We know by daily experience that the
body as whole or any of its parts may
be reduced to considerably lower
temperature than will suffice to give a
man a cold if the so-called chill be in
ficted upon the surface suddenly. Is
it, then, the suddenness of a reduction
of temperature that causes the cold? 1t
would be strange if it we're so, because
few of the most susceptible of mortals
would take cold from simply handling
piece of cold metal or accidental con-
tact with ice. The truth would seem
to be that what we call cold taking is
the result of a sufficient impression of
cold to reduce the vital energy of nerve
centers presiding over the functions in
special organs. If this be the fact, it
is easy to see why nature has provided
the stimulus of a strong fit of sneezing
to rouse the dormant c6nters, and ena-
BILE them at once to resume work and
avoid evil consequences. This explains
why the worst effects of cold do not, as
o rule, follow upon a chilli which ex-
cites much sneezing. Shivering is a
less effective conVulsion to restore the
paralyzed nervous energy, but in
lower degree it may answer the same
purpose. The shivering that results
from the effect of poison on the ner-
vous centers is totally different mat
ter. We speak only of the quick mus
cular agitation and teeth-chattering
which occur whenever the body is ex-
posed to cold and evil results do not
ensue. 1t follows from what we have
said that the natural indication to ward
off the effects of chill is to restore the
vital energy of the nerve centers, and
there is no more potent influence by
which to attain this object than a strong
and sustained effort of the will. The
man who resolves not to take cold sell
dom does,n

How Russian Wolves Capture Wild

GUS train of smaller ones to follow in
the rear and act as auxilisries in the
work of destruction. Two large wolves
are sufficient to destroy the most pow
erful horse, and seldom more than two
ever begin the assault, although there
may be a score in the gang. 1t is not
less curious than amusing to witness
their ingenious mode of attack. If
there is no snow or but little on the
ground, two wolves approach in the
most playful and caressing manner, ly-
ing, rolling, and frisking about, until
the too credulOus and unsuspecting VIC
tim is completely put off his guard by
curiosity and familiarity. During this
time the gang, squatting, are looking
on at a distance. After some time
spent this way, the two asssilants sepa-
rate, when one approaches the horse's
head, the other his tail, with a shyness
and cunning peculiar to themselves. At
this stage of the attack their frolicsOme
approaches become very interesting.
The former is a mere decOy; the latter
is the real assailant and keeps his eyes
steadily fixed on the ham-strings or
fanks of the horse. The critical mo-
ment is then watched, and the attack is
simultaneous. Both wolves spring at
their victim at the same instant-one at
the throat, the other to the fank-and,
if successful, which they generally are,
the hind one never let's go his hold till
the horse is completely disabled. In
stead of springing forward or kicking,
to diseDgage himself, the horse turns
round and round, without attempting
defense. The wolf before then springs
behind, to assist the other. The sinews
are then cut, and in half the time
have been describing it the horse is on
its side. His struggles are fruitless.
The victory is won. At this signal the
lookers-on close in at a gallop; but the
small fry of followers keep at a respect
full distance until their superiors are
gorged, and then they take their turn
unmolested.
