THE KAFFiR DOCTOR.
Queer Meth0ds. and Remedies of Natal
Medicine Men.

Ficm the Fall Mail Gazette.
In Natal. native physicians are divided
into two classes-medicine and herbalists.
The former known to their fellows as
'Iznyanga 20 kwe lapa," are especially
proficient in the healing art; while the lat
ter, rejoicing in the name of "Iznyanga
Zemeti," effect their cures through the me-
dunn of herbs with medicinal properties,
of which there are over 100 species in the
colony known to the natives. One of the
most frequent cases with which native
doctor has to deal is snake bite. and for
this there are at least dozen herbal anti
dotes. the chief of which is the root of the
aster asper. a small plant somewhat like
the daisy, with lilac-coiored flowers. 1t has
been used with success by hunters on their
dogs when snake bitten, but the secret of

rooms on chairs are costumes-which
have created envy in the breasts Of
many woman at the opera, the horse

are bonnets, hats, capotes, fancy muffs
and neckwear, and hanging about the
room are coats, capes, wraps and
cloaks. None of these does my lady
intend to wear another season.
The person in charge will give visi-
tor the price of each garment which
is usually about one-third the cost price,
but often the intending buyer considers
it necessary to haggle in order to get
the coveted garments for the least
possible price. The maid will leave one
with the article in hand and disappear
for a few moments, while in a back
room she conSults with some interested

kind are not numerous. but many per

clothes.

Of the mourners. The Occasions" as
they say in Paris, which may be secur-

any bargain counter attraction, no

Such sales have been authorized by
some of the city's richest and best
families. Mrs. George B. Mcclellan
was among the first to profit by this
practical idea. Her example has been
followed by the Edward Kellys, the
Astors the Belmonts, the Turnures

ICE CREAM FOR vOYAGERS.
Steamers Take 1T From New York
for the Round Trip.

Ice cream has such a peculiar power of
disappearing, or rather of speedily resolving
itself into substance which bellies Its name,
that it might seem ill-adapted for an article
of export. Yet when properly packed it may
be kept for weeks and even months This
being true. it can be and is transported by
land and water to great distances. All the
ocean steamers leaving this city for Europe
and for the Southern and West Indian ports
are supplied here with ice cream not only for
their outward, but for their return voyages
as well. New York has monopoly OF this
trade, and it is chiefly confined to two, or,
at most, three companies. The cream, which
is to travel thousands of miles before being
used, is made in precisely the same way
as that for the domestic trade and there is
practically no difference in its taste after
weeks of freezing
All steamers have 'cold room in the
hold, in which is placed huge refrigerator
made especially for the purpose of holding
ice cream. 1t consists of a square, wooden
box, very heavily built, and lined with zine
Within this is square receptacle for the ice
cream, much smaller than the inside of the
box, so as to allow plenty of space for ice all
around it. The ice cream is brought down to
the steamer in large tubs. each containing
quart bricks.
The tubs are taken aboard the vessel and
unloaded below. One by one the quart bricks
are packed snugly away in the great square
! receptacle in the refrigerator. These cans,
as they may be called, vary in size, the
largest, such as is used, for instance on the
steamer New York containing about ESQ
quarts. Previous to the filing a solid mass
of cracked ice and salt has been packed into
the space between the sides of the can and the
box walls. The employees of the ice cream
company direct the ships hands as to the
proper replenishment of this ice and salt, a
process which must be gone through each

in the neighborhood of zero all the time.

she creates a market so to speak, for
her cast-offs-the dresses which she
would not humble her pride by wearing
a second season. When a woman bears
the reputation of being the best dressed
of her set, she knows that the style of
her last seasons wardrobe was in adj
vance, and she realizes that many per-
sons would be willing to profit by her
experience and taste and avail them
selves of an opportunity to copy =
A sale is announced, not by written
invitation, but by word of mouth, and
it is passes from intimate friends of
the woman to friends friends and SO

upon arrival at the house, are shown to

Any woman who dares to appear this
season without at least one gown made
with fancy jacket, or waist trimmed
in jacket effect, may as well face the
knowledge that she is entirely out of
the swim. Until she becomes possessed
of one of these gowns she might just
as well stay home. This is a hard law
particularly as the fashion is not be-
coming to all figures. Still, the dress
makers have clever little ways of al
tering the lines of these coats so as
to make them look longer than they
are
After the worlds fair it was thought
that the Elton jacket would never be
worn again by any self-respecting
woman, and the women from all parts
of the country who appeared there in
this sort of jacket made of blue serge
never will be forgotten by any one
who visited the fair. Jackets of this
years fashion have not much in COM
mon with the blue serge of that time
Many are made of serge, but of heavy
