THE ZULU HOUSES.
They Look Like Big Beehives and /


They Look Like Big Beelives and the
Women Build Them.
The Zulu woman Is the architect and
builder of the Zulu house, and the style OF
architecture is known in the colonies as
"wattle and daub." It looks like an exag-
gerated beehive, for the Zulu mind has this
popularity, that it cannot grasp the idea of
anything that is not round or elliptical in
form. There are no squares in nature. To
build her house the woman traces a circle
on the ground fourteen feet in diameter, and
getting number of long, timber branches,
she sticks them firmly in the ground and to
then bends the tops over and ties them with
hbeT obtained from the numerous creeperS,
or monkey ropes"
Then she twines thicker ereepers in and
out Of these sticks, all round the circle Of
spaces about twelve inches apart, and then
taking waffle "a kind Of coarse grass or
reed she matches the edifce, leaving a
small hole at the top for chimney, and an
other hole three feet square for door. In
front of this she builds covered way, ex-
tending outward about three feet. and the
exterior OF the house is finished by coat
ing of "daub" or mud. She then seeks the
nests of the white ant, and digging them up
obtains quantity of white clay, which she
beats to powder, dries and then mixing it
with water, kneads ituntil tits quite smooth.
This she spreads all over the ground inside
the hut, and beats it carefully until it is
quite hard and free from cracks. This floor
a good housewife will scour twice day with
smooth stones, until it is like piece of pol
ished marble.
The fireplace Is near the door, and is
simply ring of this clay to confine the
emberS in one place. The other necessaries
found in hut are bundle of spear shafts
drying some tobacco and several punches Of
millet hanging from the roof. Grouped
around the walls are the three amasl "a

jars and open jars holding grain. OF course.

TEMpoRIzING ExPEDIRNTs.

We notice a communication in the col
umns of a contemporary which advocates an
amendment to the State Constitution, by
which the pardoning power would be taken
from the Governor and given to commits
sion. The same communication also recon-
mends that the provision should be so
wOrded as to render pardon impossible in
case Of murder. This recommendation will
doubtless be approved by very many per-
sons. But after all, is it not made because
we occasionally elect q Governor who does
not have the capacity to fill the position
properly 1t would seem the better way
for voters to elect conscientious and capa-
BILE Governor, when there would be no COM
plant in reference to pardons.
1t is no uncommon thing to have amend
ments proposed to the Constitution. One
session our wise men ask for a modfica
ton of the jury system, which is proposed
because bad men get hold of jurymen and

corrupt them. The better way would seem
to be to have our public offices filed with
honest men, and jurors selected from such
material as cannot be purchased for few
dollars. The opinion has been common for
some time past that the County Clerks
Office has been the center of cOrruption-the
place where the agents of the bosses have
found a resting place for the selection OF
corrupt jurors. THE CALL believes that the
public should strike the corruptions-attack
the men who are disable when in Office
We may have an excellent Constitution
without amending it as often as justice
miscarries in our courts, but without honest
officials nothing will be accomplished in the
way of reform

A Chinese Slave in Transit.

The Downieville Messenger, OF
last Saturday, says: A Chinese
woman, whose eyes and face were
tightly bound so as to exclude all
light, was taken up to Sierra City
on Saturdays stage, in charge of
two others of the same race. The
Chinese say she had been pur-
chased by zee Gee, merchant Of
that place, and that no one else
could see her face until her lord
and master had first seen her.
The above is strange reading in
country that is supposed to have
abolished slavery.
To-day the Chinese buy and sell
slaves at will, and transport
them through a free country with
out interference from the authori-
ties. Whenever the authorities
interfere, white lawyers can be
found by the scores, who will as
sist slavery for a fee, and courts
can be found-also for a fee-to
clinch this assistance with a de-
,ision.

HER PENSION ALLOWED.
What a Child Accomplished by
Writing to the President.

Writing to the President.
Mrs. Bertha Krebs, a widow 0
Newark. N. J.. who for four years
has been supporting herself and
four children by washing and hard
work, has been notified that the
Pension Office at Washington has
allowed her claims for a pension.
Mrs. Krehs said to a reporter:
Il had about given up all hope
of receiving a pension, and did not
know what in the world to do.
Unbeknown to me. my little girl,
Bertha, one day in November,
wrote a letter to President Har-
rison, telling him that I had tried
to get a pension, but could not for
some reason she did not know.
She wrote that she had three
brothers and sisters, and that she
almost always found me CRYING,
and that did not know how we
were going to live this winter.
She sent the letter without my
knowing anything about it. That
was one Tuesday in November.
The next Thursday the postman
came up on the steps and said
"A letter for Bertha Krebs from
the President. =
ct was from the Presidents
Secretary, and promised that the
case should be looked after. And
now I have just got word that my
claim is allowed. It all came
through ny little girls writing to
the President"
