The Kabyles of Algeria.

Civilization has not yet made much inn
preston on these gentry. They still live
In wigwams of boughs, covered over with
a patchwork of rags-in which you may
perchance behold Partisan pair of dis
carded trousers rudely incorporated-and
they herd together in the smoky and flea
infested interior like cattle in a stall,
or rather pigs in a pen. The Ko-
rams injunctions for the repression
Of anger do not strike them as
worthy of acceptance. In fact, they are
as keen in vendetta as the Corscan.
A murder has to be atoned for by a muir
der. The man who refuses to exact blood
for the blood of his relatives is pointed at
as "A coward. Among certain of them the
procedure is as follows; As soon as a muir
der is committed, the relatives of the MUIR
derer hasten TO the relatives of the victim
and demand pardon, at the same time offer
ing the price of blood-about 250 francs, or
go This money is set aside in a cows
horn, put in the corner of the dwelling and
kept there until a member of the murdered
mans family has avenged him. 1t is then
returned TO the relatives of the first MUIR
derer and the account l. considered squared.
The saying, such a one has his horn full"
implies that the family indicated is on the
lookoute for chance of assasSinating a
member of a certain other family.-All the

WHY Cholera Kills.

When an adventurous scientist declared
that he had swallowed any amount of chol-
era cultures without injury, there was a
good deal of incredulous head shaking, and
while the doubters could not really dispute
the statements made they insisted that
there must be something behind it all, for
if cholera bacilli were really themselves
and nobody else why didn't the man diei
And now it appears that it isn't the well
bred, properly conducted bacillus that does
the mischief but "A substance that they
manufacture from the contents of the hui
man interior where they take up their
abiding place The bacilli proceed TO form
what is known "a nitric, a most deadly
poison. This substance is by the bacilli
generated from many vegetables, especially
cauli6ower, lettuce, beets and turnips.
Meat contains but limited amount OF
convertible material; hence the prevailing
idea that vegetables are TO be eaten with
prudence during cholera seasons, while
meat in small quantities and Indian corn,
barley and the like are much safer articles
of diet. 1t is further asserted that there are
other bacteria found in the intestineso of men
and animals that are capable of generating
nitrites, but that the cholera bacillus pro-
duces over 1900 times more than any other
creature. If there is no suitable substance
found by the cholera bacilli upon which to
work, they form Tactic and other acids, but
these rarely cause serious ills. They some
times give rise to what Is known as choler-
inc, which frequently prevails 70 consid-

ZULU HOSPITALITY.
A Tribute to the Generosity and Courtesy
of the African sayaGes.

On leaving Lambs we were directed to
take short cut across country, which
would bring us on 10 the new road To
EtshOwe, but whether it was we mistook
the path, or the natives of that part Of the
country think nothing Of hill climbing,
don't know; the fact remains that at noon,
after four hours stiff walking through
grass up to our necks, and covered with
burs and ticks we found ourselves toll
ing painfully up an almost perpendicular
hill 800 or 600 feet high, with the Their
mometer showing 10 degrees, and no
shade anywhere, and, what was worse, no
water. 1t Is true that the view which UNI
folded itself TO our gaze as we assembled
higher, higher and higher, was beautiful
beyond description, for on every side were
hills and valleys teeming with foliage OF
every hue, while far away on the horizon
could be discerned the deep blue of the
Indian ocean But the beauties of nature
are wasted on "A man suffering from
parched mouth. and the grandest sight Of
all 10 our state of mind was when, on at
tanning the summit, we saw at "A short dis
lance from Us a large kraal.
Our tagging spirits revived at once, for
here at least we could get what we so much
required-water Tired as we were, we COW
cred the intervening ground in time worthy
Of a wanderers sprint. Our approach had
been observed from the kraal, and when we
arrived there were quite dozen natives
waiting TO receive us and inquire what we
wanted. Our stock of Zulu was limited,
but we knew enough to tell them that we
were thirsty, on which they brought forth
water. Then the head man, who appeared
also to be petty chief, came out of his hut,
and reckoning TO us led us into an open
kraal, where he babe us sit down He
seemed pleased TO see us, and all his
wives and young men perched themselves
around us, while he had huge bowl OF
KafIir beer brought ont for US TO partake Of.
He also wanted TO cook an enormous piece
of meat for u.s. but, on our dissenting, in
sisted on our snufling with him.
After we had staid about an hour in the
kraal we rose TO start OFF again, when what
was our surprise as well as qualification to
find that the old fellow had instructed one
OF his "umfaans" TO go with us to show US
on to the road, which was some four or five
miles away. One frequently hears the KAT
fir decried, but | must say that even from
white men one rarely experiences such true
courtesy as this, and l may here mention
that we have met with similar kindliness
from all the Zulus we have been brought
into contact with.-Digger News.

big crowd in the city to witness the
races of the last day of the State Vol

hrst race was a straight away 800
yeards, water seat through 300 feet of
hose. The time made by the compet-
ing teams was as follows: Vancouver

wallis So; Astoria Is %. Astoria was
ruled out because the nszzle was not
properly screwed on, giving Oregon
City the prize of $780, Corvallis getting
$50.
In the New York test this afternoon,
the Corvallis team failed to get water,
the Vancouver team made it in 1:21
and Oregon City in 1:31 is, though
their cart got broken by the catching
of the coupling. The prizes were $125,
and $50.
The foot race OF 100, yards was run

way to bustling activity this morning.
During the night a shack was put up

morning an enclosed room was added
to it for the storage of commissary
supplies. The people who remained
over night were quartered in tents,
which Captain Hart, quarter master
of the First brigade of the Minnesota

cumstarces, was entirely inexcusable.
At an early hour a force of men
started out to the cemetery to COM
plete the work of interment. There had
been left above ground last night
fifty-seven bodies in boxes, and at
daylight, parties were detailed out
after these that had been located.

to twenty-five bodies. In the third are

The foreman of the Duluth construc-
tion train reported to Coroner Cowan
this afternoon that in the hill at the
north end of the bridge across Grind
stone river were nine bodies so COM
pletely incinerated that the sex could
not be distinguished. A few rods from
where the Duluth depot stood was
found the body of a woman. To this
must be added the few bodies shipped
out, two buried by Jim Hunts party
of cruisers, four inferred by another
explorer, making a total of about 225
accounted for in Hinckley and vicin-
ity.
Amazing estimates are being made,
but there is no foundation for them.
There are undoubtedly settlers and
men in lumber camps burned who are
not yet discovered. A search for them
will be prosecuted with vigor and
they will be buried where they lie.
There is an unknown number of
dead in the mill pond.
1t is as yet unapproachable. Th,
bank was covered with sawdust and
not far away was the Brennan mill
and lumber yard. A number of per-
sons were seen to go to the pond. No
one came out alive, and as the fire is
still burning there, it may be a day
or two before this pool of water can
be examined.
