ZULUS ARE FATALlSTS.

| Royal Servants Allowed Themselves TO BE
Strangied ON Their Masters Grave.
Kings OF the Zulus must not go 20
the place Of the dead alone" This has
been n national saying of the Zulus
In southeastern Africa for centuries,
says writer in the African News. And
they have seen it carried into effect,
until prohibited by the British, who
now dominate their country.
On the death of king, certain per-
sons were killed, generally stranglcd,
and those were the immediate servants
OF his majesty. One would suppose
that individuals suspecting their prob.
able fatc would ondeavor TO escape, but
have been told that rarely II ever was
this the case. A sort OF fatalism Mt
taehes TO them, and they say, as Zulus
often do when anticipating calamitics:
I'VE can't help ourselves; we are tho
victims OF fate" Possibly some of
them comforted themselves with tho
belief that II they accompanied thor
sovereign to the unknown world, thoy
would be supremely happy.
Their dead bodies were so arranged
in the grave that the royal corpses w.
ing upon them might not touch the
earth, A large fat stone was placed
above the kings head, and into his
grave were thrown all his belongings
mats, ornaments and robes Of state,
consisting chiefly Of the skins Of wild
animals, of the most costly kind. Then
the national dirge, used only at royal
funerals, an exceedingly pathetic ono,
was chanted by the thousands of Zulus
assembled. A large mound Of earth
with stones and thorns upon tho top
marks the place of the burial, which
Is watched closely for weeks and some.
times months, TO keep witch doctors
from stealing any part OF the body,
which is supposed 20 have power Co

their kings, and they respect also the

Flowing Wells.

Our esteemed contemporary, Tho
Deseiet Newe, does not agree with us
regarding the bill regulating flowing
wells, they think It in an objectional bill
and should not pass while we favor It's
passage. They say "Numerouspractical
tests have demonstrated that there is
great danger OF running an artesian well
by stopping the flow, even Tor u short
time" This city contains as many
flowing wells as any city OF its size in
Utah and such has by no means been the
ease with wells here Many Of them in
the field are shut Off entirely during the
winter season and when they are opened
in the spring flow. the same as ever.
Some in the city which formely run free
stopped entirely during the summer but
since taps. have been put on them run
all the year, some even having iucreas-
ed rather than diminished the flow.
These instances prove that the reasoning
of the News is wrong and is no reason
why this useless waste OF water should
not be stopped.
1t is u well known fact that the wells
on lower land draw the water from those
whose outlet is higher, sometimes stopp-
ing them entirely when tile same stream
is struck as was the case with the driv-
ing by Salt Lake CITY ON Jordon River
entirely stepping thesiow Of spring OF
Mr. Allied's the outlet OF which was on
higher ground. We do not sec the
justice in allowing the lower wells to run
at full force, when the water is not need
ed, thus depriving those on higher ground
OF the use OF it. This water which might
be used in limited quantities above, rms
to waste and becomes nuisance rs it
ruins the surrounding land by soaking it

Piece OF African Dospotism That Ere

Kubarega, the negro Yng Of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is Van who rules
his subjects with II rel of iron. Like
all tyrants, he regulates their smallest
actions, and a host OF spies inform
him OF any disobedienco to his com
mnnds.
Among other things le has made a
fixed tariff OF prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and
every deviation from it is severely pun
ished. An instance of this is given by
Vita Hassan in his book about Emin
Pasha and the Equatorial Province.
About "a month after his arrival in
Unyoro, he bought fowl and paid
thirty cowries for It, while the market
price was only twenty-five. In that
part OF Africa IL takes about two hun
dred and fifty cowries to make dol
lar. Soon afterward dragoman of
the king appeared and brought back
five cowries with the message:
"a fowl costs only twenty-five cow
ries, while you have given thirty. The
seller has done wrong, and the king
win punish him; but he sends to you
the advice TO be careful hcnceforth in
your purchases never TO give for any
thing more than II IL worth, FIRST of all
in your own interest, and, next TO this,
in order not TO disturb the market"

Sparrow and Reed Bird.

The English sparrow promises to
be very offensive to the reed-bird by
eating the latter's food. 1t is said
that the sparrow has been slandered
and things told on him that were not
true, but this charge can be proved.
Every body knows that it is the seed
of the reed, or wild oat, that attracts
the reed-bird. In the Southland,
where he lives before he comes here,
he is called the rice-bird, because he
feeds on the rice fields of the Carroll
ma and Georgia planter. 1t is the
wild oat he wants when he comes
north, and his love for this delicacy
keeps him up all night.
The fussy little sparrow, however,
has learned that there is sweetness
and nutrition in the wild oat, and he
has quit his business as small street
scavenger, and is living and growing
fat on oats. This discovery by the
sparrow, however, may in time cause
the reed-bird to desert this part of
the country, and this will be consid-
cred great hardship for those who
like to shoot and eat the festive
"reedy."
Be this as it may, the sparrows are
eating the wild oats, and this is not
all, they will not even wait until the
seeds are ripe. East side gunners
say that they do not care whether the
sparrows drive away the ''reedy" or
not. These men say that it is the
reed seeds that make the birds such
a delicacy, and if the sparrow fattens
on them he will be as good to eat as
the bird he has driven away. If the
''reedy" does not come, they say they
will shoot the sparrow, and if the lat
ter fattens up on reed seeds, they
will shoot him any how Whining.
