Kaff1r Boys Daring Feat.

A road party, consisting of the usual
gang Of from fifty to sixty Kaffirs, with a
white man as superintendent, was en-
ployed on the construction of road in the
Tugela Valley, Natal, about thirty or more
years ago. In the course of their work
they came to huge stone which it was
necessary to remove, but beneath it was
the home of huge 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 superin-
tendent anticipated some trouble over that
rock He offered bribe for the snake S
skin, and the gang vowed and set
down the ;bema gwi'' (take snuff. But
Il 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, swallowed
some Of it, spat out the rest on his hands,
and proceeded to rub his glistening brown
body and limbs.
Then taking up his stick and chanting
song of defiance, he advanced to the
bowlder. There he aroused 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 reptile had
no effect on him whatever.
No bribe, not even that of cow (bet-
ter than gold in the eyes of the Kafir)
would induce this native to disclose the
secret of his antidote, which he said had
been handed down to his family for gen
erations. The snake was very long one,
and so old that it had a name. 1t is a
well-known fact that certain of the Zulus
have antidotes for the more deadly snake
poisons, which they preserve as a secret
within their own families

As hard luck, or a dislike for honest
toll, had made tramp. so now did the
seductive six-shooter make murderer and
an outlaw There was nothing for him
now but to fight it out to the end. He
made his way to St. Louis where he met
the old pal with whom he had tramped
through Illinois. To his comrade he said
nothing of the blood that was on his hands.
One day when the two men were in
pawnshop couple of officers in citizens
clothes entered the place. One of the
men, powerful young officer, who had
spotted Rand, sprang upon the desperate
and bore him to the floor Rand was
short, but powerfully built, and he gave
the sficer hard run. At last he lay
quiet for a moment, then turning he looked
toward the other officer, who was strug-
Cling with the harmless but thoroughly
frightened tramp, and called excitedly to
the man who was holding him Look
out there, > he shouted, help your part
ner.
The officer, being otf his guard and hav
lng already removed Rand 5 murderous
six shooter, turned to see how his brother
officer was getting on. Quick as flash
Rand pulled derringer from his vest pock
ct and drilled big hole through one of
the bravest and most popular officers of the
st. Louis force The shot. however, did
not prove instantly fatal and with the help
that came to him the wounded man was
able to disarm the desperate. After suf-
fering indescribable agony for few days
the officer died. [ forget what they did
with Rand but if You ask any man who
lived in St. Louis quarter of a century
ago he can tell you.
The purpose of this story is to point a
moral. Boy, whoever you be, wherever
you roam, fight shy of the seductive six
shooter

Elder Duck Farms in Iceland
From Good Works.

All accounts | have read about elder
ducks say that nests are robbed of their
down twice, the duck supplying it each
time from her own body; the third time
the drake gives his white down, and this
Is allowed to remain. But was told by
farmers in Iceland that now they never
take the down until the little ones are
Matched. 1t has been found that the birds
thrive better and increase faster when thev
are allowed to live as nature meant them
to do. So now the poor mothers are no
longer obliged to strip themselves of all
their down to refurnish their despoiled
nests. Sometimes if the quantity is very
great little may be taken, but enough
must be left to cover the eggs when the
duck leaves her nest for food.
y writer upon Iceland, in speaking of
visit to one Of the Isafi iord farms. wrote
''On the coast was wall built of large
stones, just above high water level, about
three feet high and Of considerable thick
ness at the bottom On both sides of it
alternate stones had been left out so as to
form series of square compartments for
the ducks to make their nests in. Almost
every compartment was occupied, and as
we walked along the shore line of ducks
| flew out, one after another The house
was marvel; the earthen walls that sur
round it and the window embrasures were
occupied with ducks. On the ground the
house was fringed with ducks. On the
turf slopes of the roof we could see ducks,
and ducks sat on the scraper.
About 10, 900 pounds of eiderdown are
gathered annually in Iceland 200 being
exported to foreign countries. Formerly
the peasants used to receive over 81 shill-
ings pound, but the price has now fallen
to half tnat amount. The peasants sell
dom receive money, and are obliged to
barter their down for merchandise fur
nished by the Danish merchants at the
little settlements at the fjords A pound
and Il half of down is enough to fill an
ordinary bedputf. These very comforta-
bic articles are found in the guestroom of
every lcelandic farm, however poor and
small it may be. After long, hard day
in the saddle the traveller longs for warmth
and shelter. These little guestrooms have
never had fire in them, and built as they
are on the ground, there is dreadful
chill in them. Once tucked away in bed,
however, and well covered with the down
puff, "A delightful sense of comfort follows
and tired bones lose their pains and stiff
ness
