BELFORD'S MAGAZINE.

The initial (June) number OF Bel.
tord's Magazine opens with an article
on Protection, the Enemy of Wages,
by rhos. q. Shearman. j. S. Moore
| tells what he knows "About WOOL
and his knowledge is by no means
limited. Henry George gives an ad-
dress, full ot common sense and free

half of an article by Frank ii. Hurd OIL
"Tariff Reform" submits some peril
nent questions to the taxpayer and
citizen Tor answer; and Free Trade
and Congress is vigorously handled in
an editorial by Don Piatt. The Mag.
azine, however, is by no means devot-
ed to heavy, although timely, reading.
Elizabeth w. Bellamy has novel of
over one hundred pages, entitled "Old
Man Gilbert" to which Mrs. Augusta
Evans Wilson writes All Introduction.
Julian Hawthorne has written of
"American Magazines aud Authors, +"

well for the future il the articles and

There Is undoubtedly room for such a

after which il gradually subsided.
The amount OF damage done was, in

Berlin, June Is An extraordinary
runOr Is current IN the city which
causes the most intense sensation. Ii
seems that, notwithstanding the ur-
gent entreaties aud protests of the
widowed empress that no autopsy
should be performed on the body vt
the dead monarch, the new emperor,
disregarding the appeals OF his mother,
caused pOst-mOrtem examination to
be made this afternoon. The wido Nv s
feelings were additionally outraged by
the fact that Prof. Won Bergmann
the very surgeon who had been forced
by her TO Withdraw from attendance ON
the late emperor, was called upon to
perform it. While il is almost impos-
slble to believe that the new emperor's
dislike for the mother will lead him To
the preparation of so incredible an act,
yet there is no doubt that the untruth-
ful denial OF the existence of cancer at

unnatural conduct in insisting on the

MILKING COWS IN ZULULAND.
2 he Sacred Pasture of ,h. u
hraal-ExtraOr Dai-
ry Dairymafds.

The krall of the Zulu is a village O.
waffle huts built between two circula,
slockade fences, the inner circle in
closing piece of pasture ground Ion
the chlef. This piece of pasture j.
caiied the ISL -baya, and is verilable
holy OF holes, to such a degree that in
most of the Zulu kraals the women
are strictly prohibited from entering
1t, and il even the favorite wife OF b
chief were discovered within its fence
she would stand but poor chance OF
her life.
During the day the cows are pastur-
ed upon the open veldt (pruirie) watch
ed over by the "boys" (who are so
called, irrespective of age, until they
obtain the coveted gum ring to wear
on the head, which stamps the wearer
as warrior and d man); but when
night approaches or danger menaces
the cows are driven into the isi-baya
and the narrow opening is securely
barred. In this inclosure the cows are
MIXED by the men and, strange TO saw,
this is about. the only work that the
average Zuiu man will readily under
take. The cows are MIXED about 10
IN the morning and at sunset
Ihe milking pail is a utensi very
ulHerent III appearance from the one in
uaiIy use IN America, and would DuZZIa
the modern agriculturist considerably.
IL Is made of piece of wood carved
ana followed from the solid wood, ,
having comparatively small opening,
standing about eighteen inches in
height, being four inches wide at the
mouth and six Inches wide at the base
but 1t is only about fourteen inches
deep, having nearly four inches of
solid wood left at the bottom to keep it
In all upright position and render il
less liable to upset. AT the sides are
two curiously shaped ears, which form
Kind OF brace when held between the
knees, which is the usual position.
The small capacity of this pail is suited
TO the milk-giving powers of the COW,
as, being smaller, they do not give
nearly 80 much per head as the Ameri-
can COW. To save himself the labor of
holding the wood between his knees
when using a milk pail, the artful
workman buries small log of wood
III the ground, leaving only few
inches projecting. This gives liberty
of action to both his hands and also
allows him to use more force than if
held by the knees, he having no know
edge of the principles of the wise; and,
further. no matter what he may be
doing, be will always sit down TO il =.
AS the small pail is filed it is emplied
into larger receptacle, which has also
narrow mouth. This necessitates care
tul pouring, and he has no idea of
funnel, further than the one made by
his hands, the liquid running down a
rude spout made by his thumbs.
The operation OF milking presents
curious sight. The cows are driven TO
one end OF the ISL bays, and ~ they
naturally group themselves near the
almost naked figures of the men with
their shaven crowns, surmounted by a
gum ring, squatting almost under the
cows, holding the milk pals between
their knees, with the top rim Oh level
with their chins, present a picture that
Is extremely ludicrous to a stranger.

great for the hold TO break, the victim
WAS literally impaled by the heel, and
hung with his head downward until
