owing to the advance of civilization in
South Africa, is shown by reference to
snch works as that of Sir CORVALLIS
Harris, written in~ 1870, in which the
author tells us that the quagga was at

herds" bands of many hundreds being
frequently seen, while he describes
Burchell's zebra as congregating in
herds of eighty or one hundred, and
Astounding to great extent; but now,
after the expiration of but fifty years,
the one species is extinct or practical
ly so, while the other has been driven
much farther afield and its numbers
are yearly being reduced.
This authors description OF the COM
mon zebra is well worth repeating. He
says: Seeking the widest and most
seuuestered spots, naughty troops are
exceedingly difficult to approach, as
well on account of their extreme
agility and fieetness of foot as from
the abrupt and inaccessible nature OF
their highland abode.

as to command view of every avenue
of approach, the checkered herd whom
painted skins adorn' is to be viewed
perambulating some rocky ledge. on
which the rifle ball alone can reach
them.

been sounded by the vidette than,

nature of the approaching danger. and

Most of the work of the Hindu is
agricultural. Seventy-six per cent. of
the people are agriculturists. Only
twenty-four per cent. follow any other
industries. The industries OF India at
one time were magnificent Our cotton
muslins have been initiated, but they
have neither been equaled nor sur
passed by the products OF any country
in the world. Our cashmere wooden
fabrics, shawls and chogas, chadars,
silks have been feebly attempted now
and then; have they ever been APP
preached, much less surpassed? Not
very long ago the reigning prince OF
Barsda ordered piece of cashmere
chadar. A chadar is long shawl,
something like a big wrapper.
That shawl was invoked with thou
sands of pearls and brilliants. The
groundwork was wool, but the inwork-
ing was composed of all the brilliant
stones that the Gaekwar could afiord;
and they estimated that it cost nearly
one million sterling. think 1T is still
