dense mist would come strange sounds
snorts, gruntings, bellows and the thun-
der of countless hoofs. Presently this
great curtain would grow thinner, then
1t would melt, as the smoke from a pipe
melts into the air, and for miles on
miles the wide, rolling country inter-
spersed with bush opened to the view.
But it was not tenantless as 1t Is now,
for as far as the eye could reach il would
be literally black with game. Here to
the right might be herd of wilder
beesse that could not number less than
five thousand. Some were grazing,
some gamboled, whisking their white
tails into the air, while all around the
old bulls stood upon hillocks sniff

to the Impractical eye they looked much
closer because Of the dazzling clearness
of the atmosphere, was a great herd Of
springbok trekking along in single file.

setting sun escaping from beneath the
lower edge of the western storm shot
across the intervening space in sheet
of splendor, and, lighting upon the ad-
vancing figure, wrapped it's middle in
hues of glory too wonderful to be de-
scribed; but beneath and above this
glowing belt his feet and head we're black

flash of light shot from the head of the

After awhile, getting tired of his song,

Indaba-zimbi sat by his fire. He was not

much more impressive. 1t consisted in
staring at the eastern sky, which was
perfectly clear of cloud, and every now

curious, wizened man, apparently over
fifty years of age, with thin hands that
looked as tough as wire. His nose was
much sharper than is usual among these
races, and he had queer habit of hold
ing his head sideways like a bird when
he spoke, which, in addition to the
humor that lurkcd in his eye, gave him
a most comical appearance. Another
strange thing about him was that he
had a single white lock of hair among

"Indaba-zimbi, my FRIEND" 1 said,

you are certainly a fool. %t is no good

"You may be clever, but don't think

old fellow answered, in high cracked
voice, and with something like grin.

on; ''you hal better use it or the Storm

BOTANICAL BREVITIEs.

from South America in 1740, having been
discovered by the celebrated Jussieu
when botanizing among the Cordilleras.
AN ever-blooming rose of dwarf habit
with bright pink semi-double flowers,
called Rosa semperforens Fellenberg,
IS used largely in Berlin for the decora-
ton of flower-beds in public squares and
private gardens.
ONE of the reasons for the strong hold
the chrysanthemum has upon popular
regard lies in tho fact that il is an old
fashioned flower. 1t has a claim upon
the affections of many people through
early associations and childhood remem-
ORANGES that the later triumphs OF the
florists art can never obtain.
ANEW Persian dye plant, the zalil,
has been discovered in India. 1t grows
freely in Afghanistan and Khorassan,
and its flowers, which are OF bright
yellow color, are dried and used as dye
throughout Persia and Upper India. II
is perennial, and the blossoms grow
on spikes two feet high. They are used
as medicine as we'll as for dyoing pur-
poses.
THE water lily is largely used in some
parts OF India as food stuff. This fruit
of one species that grows plentifully in
tho lakes OF Cashmere is rich in starch
and has much the flavor OF chestnut.
II the nuts are dried they will keep for
long time, and when ground may be
made into cakes or porridge, or they
may be soaked for some hours and then
boiled.
THE distillation Of essential oils from
various species Of plants, such as layen-
der, thyme, fennel, rosemary, etc, IS
quite profitable in Southeastern France,
The country IS here very arid and ster-
lie, and these humblest Of plants are, by
industry and careful management, made
to give prosperity to large number Of
people. The United States is tho largest
consumer Of these oils, and in time they
will doubtless be produced in our own
country. The still required for distilla-
