Should the zulus seize the opportunity

Should the Zulus seize the opportunity
pffered by the Transvaai war to strike
for freedom, says the New York Herald,
England would hate her hands full
Should the bold Basutos join arms with
their fierce cousins South Africa would
become hot soil for the British foot for
many long months to come.
Both of these uprisings are threatened;
both are greatly feared. The Zulu stu
alton in particular is watched with anX-
ious eye. England for awhile was over
matched in the last Zulu war. and victo-
ry was bought in the end with rivers of
English blood. Scarcely any greater mis-
fortune could come just now than an up
rising such as this.
The Zulu is undoubtedly the best na-
tive fighter of South Africa. lie is phys
ically splendid savage, fierce, powerful
and enduring. Add TO this the memory of
a magnificent past, the traditions and
courage of a race unwhipped except by
white men and by them only at fearful
odds, and you have worthy foeman.

sIBERlA's BIG GOLD CROP.
Large Quantities of 1t SmuwEled out
of the Country.

In spite of the most stringent rus
sian laws on. the SUBJECTIVE taking
away of gold without government con-
sent-there is an enormous business
done all over Siberia in gold, both dust
and, especially, nuggets stolen from
the workings. Ii is Il criminal ohense
to be found in possession of gold; but
as so large a proportion of the popula-
ton of Siberia consists of those sent
there for punishment, and the only
further punishment they have TO fear
is deportation To some yet more distant
region of the same barren and joyles>
land, the deterrent is by no means 50
formidable as mere perusal OF the
awful menaces of the statutes ut first
sight seems TO convey. Moreover, the
successful dealer in stolen gold rarely
fails to escape the penalties OF his OF
Tense even when caught redhanded.
The Russian official. even in Russia
proper, is seldom altogether unreason-
able; and in Siberia. where the preS-
nant saying of the dishonest "chinov-
mix" Its Il long way TO Peter''-that
is, St Petersburg is especially signili-
cant. the official is good natured in
the extreme. and Il substitute can al
ways he bought TO accept unpleasant
responsibilities.
\ great part of the gold is conveyed
over the Chinese frontier-that is.
across the river Amur. which is the
sole defense of the frontier against
smuggling from both sides and finds
a ready sale at ruinous sacrifices in eX-
change for a certain fiery Chinese
vodka. The valuable properties of this
spirit, much esteemed by Russian and
native alike, are that it gives the cus-
toner the bea;itutie of intOxication one
day, and on the next he can attain the
same exalted state hy the cheap expe-
dient of drinking water.-Chambers'

FIERCE FIRE FIGHTING.
How PIucky California Heroine
Saved Her Home,

Saved Her Home.
Mill valley has the fire lighting heroine
of California, says the San Francisco
Examiner. She fought the forest fires
down old Tamalpais when not a man
would remain to do the flames battle.
Her home was in the path of destruction.
For hours only this fair, slim girl stood
between the home and the approaching
fringe of sputtering, smoking red.
She went out alone to meet the enemy
and beat it back. Men passed her by,
unheeding her calls for assistance. 1t
was a fight to finish between the wom-
an and the fire, with pretty houseful of
furniture and family valuables as the

The woman won. Some men finally
came to strike the finishing blows, but it
was the womans victory.
