Much amusement was created among
the volunteers stationed on the railway
line, as well as among the public
through an incident that occurred on
recent night. While passing along the
line one Of the Highlanders was star
tied by black object which ap-
preached culvert in the vicinity. Re-
peatedly he shouted to what he thought
to be Kafir, who goes there?" bu
received no reply. Faithful to the regi
mental orders, he leveled his gun and
capsized the "Kaffir," who was by tina
time few yards from the line The
next morning found Mr.. Gideon Hugo,
Daljosophat, in bad humor in conse-
quence Of one Of his fine pigs having
been shot during the night. The vol

All the women Of Shetland knit
They learn the art in early childhood
and continue it all through their lives.
The wool used for their knitting Is
grown on the islands, and Is carded
and spun by the people themselves.
Machinery they have not, except the
primitive spinning wheel Many OF
the most elaborate shawls have taken
months to make, and some even years,
SO that very fine shawl may be worth
as much as $3.50 or 5000 Most OF the
knitting is, however OF the more
homely and serviceable kind, and may
be bought from the women themselves
for a very moderate price.
