A ZnIn BrIdeKraom.

The daughter Of Zulu In comfort
able circumstances does not leave her
fathers kraal without much pomp and
many queer rites, which doubtless are
held by her people in high estimation.
1t may be noted, too, that the marriage
customs Of these dusky Africans are
subject to innumerable variations,
each tribe having It's own peculiarl-
ties. Halrdresslng, by the way, is an
important feature both to the bride
and bridegroom, and the attention
paid to the coiffure Of the pair would
shame the performance Of West end
hairdresser who arranges a brides
locks and fastens the orange blossom
chaplet. A. cone-shaped erection, for
instance, Is the lawful couture Of
Zulu wife, and this cannot be legally
worn till the marriage rites are duly
completed. Save for the all-important
cone, the head Of a Zulu bride is close
ly shaved, an assegal being used for
the purpose whilst, as soon as a
youth Is OF manageable age, his
head is shorn to leave ring round
the scalp, and then literally besmear-
ed with fat and ochre, without which
unguents no Zulu would feel fittingly
decorated for his bride. When the
bridegroom-e elect has been shorn Of all
his hair save the wool on the crown,
which is trained in circular shape
and some four inches In diameter,
ring is sewn to this, Of gum and char

snuff spoons, needles, and small utility
articles, and is very proud Of his ring,
which is the badge of manhood

RY JAMRS GRANT.

Thin fianked, active and strong, they
began to grunt and gambol, and to
splash up the glittering water, till
suddenly they caught sight OF us, and
all fled, save one, fierce old boar,
which, after tearing up the grass with
his hind feet, came resolutely forward,
showing a pair Of tusks that made me
tremble for the calves OF my legs II
ventured to run off, and still more
for those Of poor Hlslop, who was
alike unable to escape or confront him,
Fortunately ! had my teakwood
spear,
While keeping tree between me
and the boar, he prepared for the Of
fenslve by whettlng his terrible tusks
against stone and grunting hoarsely.
Excited and bewlldered, as he came
on at a quick run, charged my weap-
on full at him, and by the mercy OF
Providence, the point entered one OF
his fierce, glitterlng eyes, which made
him rear up and recoil, while In his
rage and pain the brlstles on his ridgy
back rose up like little blades of steel,
Unto his throat with your spearV'
cried Hlslop; but anticipated the sug-
gestion, for ere the words had left his
lips had Notwithstanding deep with
all the force that excitement and ter
ror gave me-the pointed lockwood
shaft down his red and gaping throat.

But as he lay there on his back and

Our return diverted for time som,
excitement and surprise which haC
been caused by the return OF Ton
Lambourne, Probart and Carlton from
the mountain top, with tidings tina
the studdlng sail boom had vanished
and that not trace Of It was to b,

CHAPTER XXX.
A New Perplexlty.

The disappearance Of the boom and
Of Toms old striped shirt, which had
waved from It like banner, excited
considerable speculation and some
thing Of alarm.
II simply overturned by the wind, It
must have lain where 1t fell; at all
events, It could not have rolled far
from the cairn, or pile OF stones, in
the center of which we had wedged
1t. BY what agency had this dsap-
pearance come to pass?
That 1t was the work OF wild ami
mails could not for moment be con-
celved; 80 the event filled us with
vague, but very alarming conjecture.
With his Ratchet, Probart the car
penter cut down and prepared a long
and slender tree to replace the lost
boom on the top OF the Devils noun
tain, as we now termed 1t; land while
one portion Of us assisted him In this,
the other set about the capture Of
some of the wild goats with which the
woods abounded, as we were anxious
to procure the milk Of the females, and
the flesh of their kids
This was most arduous task, as
they were SO feet OF foot; and when
pursued, or when In search Of those
bitter and astrlngent plants Of which
they are 30 fond, they could gain the
most dangerous pinnacles and lodges
of rock that overhung the sea. In such
places there grew kind Of wild labur-
mum, and Hislop did not fail to re-
mind me that Theocritus described 1t
as the favorite food of the goat.
We otter saw these agile quadru-
peds spring, without pause, fear or
hesitation, from pinnacle to pinnacle,
or from ledge to ledge of rock, where,
had they missed footing, they must
have fallen thousand feet or more,
either into the ocean on one side, or
some ravine on the other, and there,
perched far aloft, they would remain,
looking at us quietly, and reminding
me Of the couplet:
High hung in air the hoary goat re-
clined,
His streaming beard the sport Of every
wind"
BY great industry, and the exertion
of incredible labor and activity, we
succeeded in capturing five, by isolat-
ing them from their flocks and chas-
ing them into chasms and corners
from which they had no means OF es-
cape, and then we secured them by
the running rigging Of the long boat.
Some of the females afforded milk,
rarity and nourishment to US who had
been so long at sea. The flesh Of kid
wo thought delicious, and lest we

A far higher instance Of courage was
the act OF Martin Luther when he
stood alone and deaed church and
state, declaring; Here stand; I can
do no other; It ia not safe for man to
violate his conscience"
Garrison was also more heroic than
any military conqueror when he braved
the fury Of race prejudice and said: II
will not equivocatei l will not excusei
will not retreat a single inch, aud l

No soldier ever displayed more cour-
age than did Annie Besant In her
struggles TO live level with her con-
victions.
No military general In history was
ever drawer, either morally or physi-
cally, than Bradlaugh in his battle for
freedom of thought against the British
parliament.
What can Roosevelt say Of the hero
ism Of such civilians as Prof. Heron,
B. Fay Mills, Eugene DebS, Miss Will
lard, Lucy Stone or Mayor Jones, OF
ToledoP
We can develop heroic qualities
without shooting tho heads off Fill

portunities every day in our common
work to develop courage and hardi'
hood. ......

An address recently delivered by
Theodore Roosevelt before the Chicago
Hamilton club, on "The Strenuous
Life"
Mr. Roosevelt said:--"The nation
that has trained itself to career OF
unwarlike and isolated ease Is bound
In the end to 60 down before other ma
tions which have not Lost the advent
urous and manly qualities. The over
Civilized man who has lost the great
lighting, masterful virtues shrinks
from seeing us build navy adequate
TO our need The army and navy are
the sword and shield which this nation
must carry, II she Is to do her duty
among the nations of the earth"
This is grandiloquent way OF say
ing brutal thing. Roosevelt misunder-
stands democracy. He wants to hurl
America back 1, 900 years He Is real
" Roman and not an American.
His desire Is to see the United States
. national jesse James, like England.
The graves Of 10000 ancient nations
warn us against the military spirit.
"They that take the sword shall per-
lsh by the sword"
Rome, Greece, Carthage, Persia and
all had the great lighting, mas terful
virtues" and where IRE those nations
now?
They persisted because, like Roose-
welt, they based their national great
ness on militarism and not education,
and because they allowed power and
wealth to concentrate In few hands.
Roosevelt forgets that the age of
brute force and bulldog daring has
gone by forever. Today an army Of
consumptives and cripples with Cat
e ling guns could defeat Ave armies of
athletes with spears and clubs.
An enlightened, inventive and free
naticl has no longer any foe or fear.
The foes OF today are within our own
borders
II Roosevelt wishep 10 DO truly hero

Itarism are never diffused A whole
