The South Africans.
From Chambers Journal,

The native tribes of South Africa are
speedily becoming amenable to civilization.
Unlike the red Indians and aborigines of
Australia, the kafhr does not die out as
the white man proceeds to occupy his
country; humane laws foster the wellbeing
of the native. In Natal, especially, the
increase in the black population is marked
and rapid. This fine country which, so
years ago, contained only few thousands
of miserable refugees, hiding and fleeing
from the ravages Of those awful tyrants,
Dingaan and Chaka, now contains black
population of about 500, 600, rejoicing
under the benign rule of the Queen En-
press Victoria. 1t may be that at times
the younger men, during a beer drinking
bout, talk some nonsensical rant about re-
taking the country from the white men.
These are speedily silenced by the old men,
who will frequently bring both native wit
and oratory to bear upon the young and
impetuOus braggadocios, who are speedily
silenced when told that the great white
Queens ''impi' (army) would crush any
rebellion with one e-tenth the ease with
which the savage Zulu nation was subdued.
The old men viii tell Of most awful
"reminiscences, such as, Don we remem-
Der when man dare not put his head out
side his hut door, except at the risk of
being Drained by knobkerrie or impaled
on an assegai They will then wax elo-
quent on the safety and security of all
native tribes under British rule. The
Amaswazi tribes were and still are anxious
to come under our rule, rather than that
of the Beers of the Transvaal Republic;
but their desire comes too late, as the
Beers were entitled to claim treaty with
Great Britain, giving them the right to
annex Swaziland-the latter considering
she has already as many black children on
her hands as she can find nurses and nurs-
cries for This leads one to remark that
the Kaffirs are, after ALL only children,
just emerging from heather darkness and
superstitions. Their docility is wonder
full; their faith in a white man, especially
an Englishman, is great, and the progress
of Christianity is the hope of the nation,
accompanied by all the civilizing influences
of steam, electricity and modern inven-

ways supplied with quantity of food
which would exceed the limit by several

The silverware on the st. Paul is equal

silver, and even the knives and forks are

Why He Was Soured.
From the Washington Star

From the washington Star.
''Who is that sour-looking man who is
always sitting on that store box doing
nothing?" asked the drummer
ssHe's the man that knows all about how
ter settle every trouble that the country
gifts inter, replied the native with an ad-
miring glance,
"Bpt why doesn't he get up and hustle
then?''
"He's mad" was the awe-stricken
whisper. ''Hes told Congress and the
President and everybody how to do things
and they didn' t pay no tention to i'm, an
now he's jes' sittin' in silence an lettin'

1t is estimated that fully One-third of
the cultivated land in Southern New Jer-
sey is now in the crimson clover that is to
cover it as with blanket this winter.
Throughout the State this crimson clover
has almost entirely replaced rye as catch
crop Where rye is grown it is not for
plowing under, but for the grain, or, iffor
green manure, it is because the clover seed
ing has not been success All are agreed,
that the change is for the better, as the
clover seeding costs no more, either for
seed or labor, and gives better returns,
whether as manure or for feeding To the
introducers of this crimson clover Is due all
the credit the poet would have US give to
him who amaketh grow two blades ofgrass
where but one grew before.

THANKSGIVING.
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY WILBUR E. BUCKINGHAM

What though the shadows round us thickly fall,
And earth seems but one vast abyss of woe:
What though the sun but rarely bids his rays
Into our ofttimes saddened hearts 10 go
Sometime, when earth has passed away,
And we arise from underneath the sod,
Wen understand the mysteries here below
so let us join in giving thanks TO God
Our sorrows may be but fair stepping stones
To lead us to a brighter, clearer way;
The heavy burdens we so much now dread
May be but lights to guide us day by day.
So though we daily walk life's thorny path,
And at each step behold the Christening rod,
Let us forget our trials and our woes
And give our heartfelt thanks unto onr God.
Eartb's mysteries will some day be made so plain
That we will wonder why we could not see
Behind the greatest trials ever borne
Our Fathers hand-'tis surely there TO be
Let us forget, then, this Thanksgiving tide,
The pain of sorrows thorn-crowned prod,
And, in the spirit of life of faith,
Bend our prond hearts in thanEfuness to God,

Those Sold on the Street May Convey
Infection.
The reading public is by this time
fairly eonversant with the ordinary
sources of danger from contagion to
which it is exposed, and it has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrin2i-
nate use of hair brushes and towels,
and Of the ear pieces of the phonorr2ph;
to touch not with ungloved hand the
brass guiding rail of the street car, and
TO be suspicious even Of the telephone
transmitter. But, according to med
zeal journal, the latest hazard in infec-.
ton is confined to children. Many in
genious toys are now offered on the
sidewalks Of city streets by itinerant
vendors. One of these is tube of pa
per, furnished with a short piece of
bamboo at one end, up to which it is
coiled by the action of slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo
the coil is unrolled and shoots out near
ly yard, and the sudden extension has
a comical effect, very entertaining to
the youthful mind. Another form OF

made to emit it's characteristic sounds
by the pressure of air from a small rub
Der ball which has been inflated by air
blown from the mouth. Attention i;
called to the possible consequences OF
buying these toys, which are presented
to child after being inflated by cues
tionable breath, and perhaps wetted
with the moisture of the still more
questionable lips of the vendor. An in
fected mouthpiece has been known to
be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles, and it seems strange that per-
sons who would hesitate to drink out of
a glass that has been used will buy
these toys and take them to their chill
dren without thought of the disease by
which they may have been contami-
mated Among the impoverished MAX
ers and vendors, sore threats, diphthe-
ria and contagious fevers in very early
stages may beraging, and children may
contract fatal diseases of even worse
character than any of these by using
these toys.
