THEIR LANGUAGE IS A LEoAcY.
Tho Conquerors Have Gone. but Their
Tongue Is the Only OneSpoken,

The Conquerors Have Gone, but Their
Tongue Is the Only o~nespoken.
There Is an instance in Africa Of a
people who ~subjugated a large region
and after years Of supremacy wera
themselves expelled from the country,
bat left their language the universal
medium of speech as a "reminiscences
of their occupancy, says an exchange.
These people are the Makololo tribe,
who, forty-eight years ago, upder
their warlike chief, Sebotoane, left
their homes among the mountains OF
Basutoland, crossed the wide desert
of Kalahari, an enterprise involving
Incredible hardships, and finally set.
settled along the upper Zambesi and
its tributaries. Their emigration
proved the capacity of the savage
African to leave his native land and
make a new home for himself in q
far-distant region.
Livingstone has described this
fierce chief, Sebotoane, who con.
quered all the tribes around him,
made himself master of the large
empire of the Barutse, and so came to
rule a region as large as some of the
European states. 1t was in 1916
that Livingstone saw him. The
empire Of the Makololos lasted until
1884, when, on account of the cruelty
Of Sekeleto, the son of the old king,
who had died five years before, q
general revolt occurred, and the Max.
ololos were driven from the country
by the natives, who were far more
numerous than the intruding people.
There is to-day not a single Max.
ololo in that region, but. strange to
say, during the twenty years of the
domination of this tribe their Ian.
guage, a little corrupt, became the
language Of all that immense terri.
tory. Thus it happens that a Ian
guage of South Africa is now spoken
in the upper Zambesi by many thou
sands of people who are quite distinct
from the tribe that imposed the
language upon them. The natives
have, In fact, almost forgotten their
original languages, though they have
introduced into their new speech
quite . large number Of the words
which formed part Of the vocabulary
OF their forefathers. So the Max.
ololos, no longer living in the coun-
try, have left profound traces of their
former occupancy.

entirely different soil to which theJ
have been accustomed, and a year o.
two of good growth is lost through
this sudden change.
A great deal can be saved, however,
If the farmer understands how ia
handle the trees and how best to sci
them out. Many trees are received
during q dry season, and as they have
been transported q long distance, they
need planting at once. When thu
trees are received they should be sci
immediately, snd the longer they are
kept implanted the longer will tb<
check to their growth be made. Prune
eff carefully all dead and mutilsted
roots. Then dig a hole large enough
to accommodate all of the remaining
roots in the positions in which they
hang. If the roots can be planted in
their natural position there will be
less danger of loss; but 10 do this,
very large holes are often required.
Place the tree in the hole and fill it
half up with the clay, and then
saturate it thoroughly with water until
it is workable clay. With a small hoe
or q blunt stick this sticky clay should
be worked carefully around and into
the roots of the tree. With a little
Tabor at this work the roots will
quickly get established, and decide
largely the future OF the tree. After
this the rest of the soil should be
thrown in and piled up around the
tree, and a good mulch of stable
manure provided. If the season is a
wet instead of a dry one, the top
mulch will not be needed, but if there
is any danger of a drought, the mulch
is the only way to prevent the roots
from getting thirsty. But with a good
mulch a newly set tree can be kept
moist for months. The water that
has been applied directly to the roots
will be kept there, and not allowed to
eraporate.
To put all of the soil back into the
hole, and then pour water upon it, is a
method that many practice now, but
is not nearly as satisfactory as the one
described. A great deal of the water
thus put on the surface will never get
down to the roots, but will be absorbed
more by the surrounding surface soil.
When we put it in the hole half filed
with soil, it goes direct to the roots,
where it is needed. Where the soil is
very dry in times of drought, it is sur
prising to see how much water the
surface soil will absorb. If one digs
down q foot, however, he will find
that the subsoil is still untouched by
the water. American Cultivator.
