London, July 2S.-The United States

An official OF the colonial ONCE said
that the Alaska boundary question

1925, defining the boundary. He hoped
that the assertion that there would be
an early settlement Of the dispute was
correct.

But as he lay there on his back and

covering the grass with bloody froth,
and tearing it by his bristles. Hislop
sprang forward and though weak with
many half-healed wounds. drove a
clasp knife repeatedly into the throat
and stomach Of the monster, which
soon lay still enough.
When it was quite dead drew out
my lockwood spear, and found the
point almost uninjured, for ! had hard

We thrust two crooked branches
through the tendons of the boar's hind
legs, and by these drew 1t to our hut,

no little praise for performing SO hardy
a feat.
Our return diverted for time some

the studding sail boom had vanished,
and that not trace of it was to be

when we threw some Of 1t Into the fire

concretion formed in the stomach OF
the spermaceti whale.
On the fifteenth morning after our
landing a seaman named Henry War
rem, who went to milk our goats,
which had been tethered to a large
tree near the hut, returned in haste
to announce that the ropes which had
secured them were cut, apparently by
a sharp instrument-cut clean through
and that the goats, the capture OF
which had cost us SO much labor, were
gone.
"Cut? By whom?" asked every one.
Before we had time to consider this,
Hislop came out of the hut, and stated
that one of our three bread bags had
also been cut open, by slash from a
knife, apparently, and that several
pounds of biscuits had been distracted.
The strange alarm, and what Yves
worse, the doubt Of each other, which
these discoveries excited, were painful
and bewi!dering.
We examined the place where the
goats had been tethered, but could dis
cover no traces Of feet, and nothing
remained but the ends Of the ropes

fathers kraal without much pomp and
many queer. rites, which doubtless are
held by her people in high estimation.
It may be noted, too, that the marriage
customs of these dusky Africans are
subject to innumerable variations,
each tribe having it's own peculiari-
ties Hairdressing, by the way, is an
important feature both to. the bride
and bridegroom, and the attention
paid to the couture 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
" shaved, an assegai being used for
the purpose; whilst, as soon as
youth Is of q 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- elect has been shorn of all
his hair save the wool on the crown,
which is trained in q circular shape
and some four inches. in diameter, a
ring is sewn to this, of gum and char
coal; in this the Zulu thrusts long
snuff spoons, needles, and small utility
articles, and is very proud Of his ring,
which Is the badge Of manhood.
