KAFFIR BOYS DARING FEAT.
Kills n venomous 3lnck Snake for
a Small Reward.

A road party, comprising the usual
gang of Kafiirs, with white man as SUI
perintendent, was employed on the con-
struction of a road in the Tugela val
ley, Natal, about 30 or more years ago.
In the course of their work they came
on huge stone which it was necessary
to remove, but beneath it was the home
of large black mamba, well known to
the neighboring inhabitants as being
old, and therefore very venomous. The
mamba is the most deadly of the South
African snakes, and the superintend-
ent anticipated some trouble over that
rock. He offered bride for the snakes
skin, and the gang 'wowed" and sat
down to "bema gwi' (tal1e snuff. But
a slim youth sauntered forward and
amid the jeers and protestations of the
rest declared himself equal to the task.
He took from his neck what looked like
a bit of shriveled stick, chewed it, swal-
lowed some of it, spat out the rest on
his hands and proceeded to rub his glis-
tening brown body and limbs all over.
Then taking up his stick and chanting
a song of defiance, he advanced to the
bowlder. There he reused the mamba,
who in great fury at being disturbed bit
him in the lip with great venom. The
boy took no notice of the bite, but broke
the snakes back with his stick, and,
bringing him to his master, asked for
the reward, obtaining which, he went
back to his work, and the bite of the rep
tile had no effect on him whatever.

ter than any gold in the eyes of KAT
fr), would induce the native to disclo,
the secret of his antidote, which he
said had been handed down in his fam
lily for generations. The snake was a
very long one and so old that it had a
name. 1t is a well-known fact that GER
tain of the Zulus have antidotes for the
more deadly snake poisons, which they
preserve as a secret within their own
families.

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when be was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming
