Lulus In New York.

\ newspaper correspondent tells us
some things about the Zulus on cIhi-
bition in New York. They arc woolly-
haired, hroWn-skinned specimens. They
have muscular, shapcly figures, and
dress in mere iiR.leaf Rarh. They
enjoy being exhibited and will be great
people when they get back to their
native country, where they are to he
delivered after certain time. The
princess has long hair and the common
woman with the baby has hers short.
Both wore red roses and necklaces and
not much besides. The princess was
strong and vigorous, the poor plebeian
was very feminine, with weak, placid
muscles, soulful eyes, and great variety
Of pleasing facial expressions. Their
sphere is strictly defined in their own
land. They are expected TO rear their
families, TO take care Of their houses and
build the same, to till the fields and
guard the cattle, and to be sold by
father or brother for their value in cows
or oxen. The correspondent saw them
make fire by rubbing two dry sticks
together. ChaTcd bits fall off first.
These are carefully gathered. The first
spark is placed among these charred
bits, and then swung in the air with
straw around il. The excitement in
crcases among the Zulus as the opera
tion goes on, and at the appearance Of
flames they set mp great shout.

She Was the Wrong Mnman.

The days of romance are not past.
A Cuban planter visiting New York saw
charming woman on a Brooklyn ferry
boat and fell in love with her. He
traced her to her home and learned that
she was a widow most respectfully CON
nected. He was called TO Cuba, and
wrote her letter full of affection and
giving references. Her friends inquired
and found that he was desirable match.
She replied to the letter. He respond
ed. She wrote and he wrote until
there was an offer Of marriage and an
acceptance, and the wedding-day was
fixed. She prepared her bridal robe
and he returned 10 New York. They
met at the house Of one Of her friends,
she wondering how he looked, he an
ticipatinR a second vision Of beauty.
She saw a handsome man; he looked
and screamed, "You are the wrong
wsmani" And so II was. They had
neglected 10 exchange photographs.
She remains 9 widow, and he haunts the
Brooklyn ferryboats for another vision.

The famous Irish giant was born in
Kinsale in 1760. His real name was
Patrick Cotter, and no originally labor
cd as brioklayer. He was eight feet
seven and one half inches high at the
age of eighteen, when he ceased grow
ing. Before that age n cunning show
man, who had stumbled across him, had
hired him under three years contract
for $3.50 year and his keep, to be ex-
hibited. This fellow took him to Eng
land, where he sub-let him to another
speculator.
The giant, who had como to discover
what he was worth as an investment,
resisted, and the precious pair locked
him up in sponging-housc in Bristol
for breach of contract. A Bristol gentle
man who discovered the outrage secured
his release and gave him money enough
TO set up in booth for himself at ST.
James fair, near Bristol In three days
he took in 500, and thus commenced
regular exhibitions, which continued TO
within two years Of his death. He made
money, lived in good style and kept his
carriage. He died on September <,
1906, at the Hot Wells, Bristol
In order TO prevent the gathering of
a crowd he was buried at six in the
morning, and then at least =, 900 spccia-
tors witnessed the ceremony. He had
horror of body-snatchcrs, so his grave
was made twelve feet deep in solid
rock. His coffin, of lead, was nine feet
two inches long and three feet across
the shoulders. No hearse could be
procured long enough 10 hold the cof-
fin; il took fourteen men to carry it,
and had to bc lowered into the grave
with pulleys. In his will Cottcr left his
Bristol friend a handsome legacy.
Chang, the Chinese giant, now in
this city, ranks probably next to Got
ter, or O'Brien. as he called himself
before the public. Chang is more than
eight feet high His check bones look
as if they were small paving stones in.

The Gates of Jerusalem.

Speaking Of the gates Of Jerusalem, a
correspondent of the Baltimore Iperi-
om says: Tradition mentions several
that are not now TO be found such as
the Old Gate, Ephraim's Gate, the Val
ley Gate, the Prison Gate. the Fish
Gate and others. At present there are
but four tina. can bc opened, although
four others are distinctly seen walled
up. The gates now open are those Of
Jaffa, Of Damascus, of st. Stephen, and
of David--one in each of the four walls.
The Jaffa gate is northwest Of Mount
Zion, and is the usual entrance for pill
grims from Christian lands. IL is com
posed Of tall towers or buttrcsscs. cvi-
IDENTIFY of great strength, and easily lie.
Tended against ancient modes of war
fare. The gates proper consist Of two
large folding g-doors, in one of which is
O wicket called "The Needles Eve"
which is just large enough to admit
camel without any load on its back,
whence come, I suppose, the scriptural
adage about the difficulty Of camel
going through the eye Of needle. l
asked what significance the natives at
tached to this, and was gravely told
that, inasmuch as camel cannot posi-
bly, pass through it while carrying any
portion of load, similarly rich man
cannot pass through the wicket Of the
heavenly Jerusalem until he has en-
tirely unloaded himself of his riches and
his other earthly burdens
The three other gates are Of similar
construction, with strong turrets. But
they are all wonderfully striking 10 the
eye, in their quaint and now useless
ponderousness, albeit conveying . pro-
found impression of the ancient strength
OF the city, and Of the difficulty Of its
capture By Moslem or Crusader. Now
adays one or two Of our big guns would
effect breach in few minutes.

Spreading and Condensing.

In view of the usual torrents of poetic
literature caused by the approach Of
spring, it is humbly suggested that
every poetic genius, without exception,
condense his efforts somewhat after the
following fashion:
CRUDE
Hoa to thee, swoet and gentle breathing
spring;
Birds q, thy coming grateful welcome sing:
: Heits now the widespread, glistcning, crystal
mor:
Sreofns locked in ICY bonds begin to goo
RgPrsED AND CONDENSED.
Hail, spring,
Birds sing.
Melts snow,
Streams flow
We can then further condense The
product Of the prolific poctical brain by
squeezing the communication into our
hands and dropping It into the waste
basket. Poetry, like the juice Of the
mgar::cane, IL the better for condsnsing.

Cremation is making progress IN
Italy. Mr.. Colnaghi, the British con-
sui for North Italy, states that since
1876 seyenty-one incinerations OF bodies
have taken place at Milan and fifteen at
Lodi, making a total Of eighty.si1. The
first crematory furnace set up in Milan
was heated 10y ordinary gas, made ON
the spot and passed by means Of tubes
into the urn. This system, however,
had to be abandoned, since il Wa found
to be neither rapid nor economical, FIVE
hours being required TO complete the
operation. Two rival systems are now
being tricd-one the invention Of Pro
fessor Gorini, Of Lodi, aud the other
that Of lMessrs. Porna and Vennini. of
Milan. Both are heated by wood, and
the flames are brought into direct con-
tact with the body, combustion being
increased by the introduction Of atmos-
pheric air. Cremation does not appear
to he a costly process, for the total cost
of incinerating human body at Milan
is somewhat under fifty lire, or less
than $40. This charge covers not only
the fees 10 the Cremation society and to
the municipality, but the cost Of a niche
for the cinerary urn in the columbia
mum erected for that purpose.
