HOW ZULU WOMEN SEW.

Their Needles Arc Widely Different from
Those Used In Civilized Countries.
The skill OF the Zulu of South Africa
in sewing fur is household word in
South Africa, and none of the other
tribes can compete with them. The
needle employed is widely different
from that used by the American needle
woman. In the first place. Ii has no
eye: in the second, it Is like skewer,
pointed at one end and thick at the
other, The Zulu woman is never without
them, and carries them in an elaborate
ly-decorated sheath Of raw hide. The
thread is not Of cotton, but is made of
the sinews Of various animals, the best
being made from the sinews in the neck
of a giraffe. 1t is stiff, inelastic with
great tendency to ''lSink" and tangle
itself up with any thing near it. Be-
fore being used 1t Is stepped in hot
water until it is quite soft, and is then
beaten between two smooth stones,
which causes it to separate into fla
ments, which can thus be obtained OF
any strength and thickness. Thus, the
seamstress has considerable amount
of labor before she commences with tho
real work in hand. This done, she
squats on the ground flor no native
stands to work or do any thing else,
who can possibly help it) and, taking
her needle, bores two holes in the
edges of the rug or garment on which
she Is working. The thread is then
pushed through with the butt of the
needle, drawn tight, and two more holes
are made with a like result, the skewer
progressing very slowly compared with
an American needlewoman. but fast
enough for country where time Ia OF
no value whatever. The skin upon
which the seamstress is working is
damped with water before she com
mences; and as the damp thread and
hide dry out it brings the work very
closely together. This is carefully at
tended to, and the work is not allowed
to get dry until finished, when the
seamstrcss lays 1t fiat upon the ground,
pulling it this way and that, and mix
Ing and arranging the hair for several
hours, until the skin being generally
dry, 1t Is impossible to find the joint or
hem with the naked eye when looking
at the fur side OF the garment. The
stitches are very small, and, when dry,
lie very fat, and number OF curious
designs are worked out in various skins,
which. when finished, look like the
perfect skin OF single animal, which
must have been the Joseph OF the anil
NAL tribe, to judge from the colors in
its coat. | should imagine that an
hours work of modern sewing-machine
would be about equal In bulk to tho
work OF two hundred Zulu women for
the same time; but their work would be
done with degree of efficacy no ma
chine can ever approach.--Ladies' Home

MEDICAL TESTIMONY.

W. Thornton Parker, NJ. D., Recorder
Association Of Acting Assistant Surgeons
of the u, S. Army, writes:

"When at Stuttgart, Germany, during
the winter of 1881 ?, was suffering from a
severe attack Of bronchitis, which seemed
to threaten pneumonia. | met, at the HO-
tel Marquardt, Commander Beardslce, of
the United States Navy. In speaking of
my sickness he remarked: Doctor, YOU

Whenever | have cold, ! always use one

for patients.
The ALLCoCK's PLASTER is the best to
be had, and has saved many from severe
illness, and undoubtedly, if used promptly,
will save many valuable lives. Whenever
one has a severe cold they should put on
an ALLCoCK's PLASTER as soon us possible.
1t should be placed across the chest, the
upper margin just below the neck; some
hot beef tea, or milk, will aid in the treat
ment.
This is not patent remedy in the OBJ
jectionable sense of that term, but a stand

Hospital Stores contain ALLCoCK's PLAs-
TIERS, and the medical profession through
out the world are well aware of their relia-
bility and excellence. | shall always rec
ommend it, not only to break up colds, but
as useful in allaying pains in the chest and

272o Difference
The "ROyal" the Strongest and
Purest Baking Powder.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows
If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells
for so cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth over
SO cents
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you
are charged the correspondingly lower price.

HOW A BULLET TRAVELS,
An Explanation for Its rhrcc nnd some
time rour Different Motions.

An Explanation for It's Thrcc and somo-
time rour Different Motions
! Howard Carr, an authority on shooting
and a gentleman well informed ON all mat
ters Of detail pertaining to the bull's eye,
gave reporter some interesting iuforma,
tion on the queer actions Of bullet after
being discharged from the mua3le OF a
gun.
4 bullet, he declared, sighted for 1000
yards has three separate and distinct mo.
tions, aud in eases where the stuhby and
blunt express lead is used Il has four. The
first is its velocity or straight motion of
journey; the second is the rotary motion,
caused 10y the boro Of the gun, which
makes il plow through the air, aud the
third is the trajectory motion or drift, ut.
trihutahle 20 the attraction of gravity,
which forces the bullet sideways When
the express bullet is used it follows u line
similar to the edge OF corkscrew. The
latter is ascrihabe to the extra friction on
the bottom OF the ball, which is constantly
lowering
had this illustrated by placing sheets
of paper forty yards apart on level, and
the course of the bullet could be seen by
collecting the papers and laying them one
over the other
4 ball has large drop when travelling
any great distance For instance, take
1900 yards. The bullet, il keeping the
course il originally started out to follow,
would land distance OF over 40 feet
above the bulls eye. But il starts 70 drop
Immediately after leaving the muzzle OF
the gun, and at between $50 and GOO yards
the ball is only sixty feet above the line OF
the bulls eye, and y considerable distance
below the line ot sight, At 10 yards it
has decreased in proportion, and the aim
is only forty inches above the bulls eye,
but at 500 yards it is over sixteen feet.
1t takes about three seconds for a ball to
travel 1000 yards with an ordinary charge
OF powder behind it. The first second It
travels 1900 feet In the next second it
travels only three-quarters of that distance,
and in the third second it travels only one.
half as much rs it did when leaving the
muzzle.
made the claim here short time ago
that a ball made more revolutiuuS-that
is, its rotary motion increased in proper
tion to the distance it trayeled-IuS il ap
preached the target. than it did in the lOO
yards Immediately after leaving the muz
zle, and | will explain. The friction Of the
atmosphere does not lessen the rotary mo-
tion as fast in proportion to the distance it
has travelled rs it does its flight through
the atmosphere; consequently, while in
the last 100 yards the ball is only travelling
at a rate just one-half of its original speed,
the rotary motion is just rs great, and
having more time makes more reyolu.
