THE KAFFIR GREETING.
\ Slow Response to the Usual Saluta'
ton Is Indicative of
Respect.

"Saku bona" With these words the
ton of Kaflir vocabulary. He hears
them so frequently that he cannot help
but notice them. The expression is the
common form of salutation among the
natives. 1t may be Anglicized in ever
so many forms, according to the taste
of the "Anglicizer," as, for example,
Good morning." How d'you do?"
What cheer?' and so on.
These renderings, of course, are not
literal The literal rendering, 81 see

meaning in the native mind before it
became so faIniliarized to white ears.
No doubt the same may yet be said
where the white man does not intrude.

reason for the silence is that the host

STOCK GAMBLING.
Evils Arising from the Universal
Yearnfng to Get Something
for Nothing.

Secrecy made it possible to organize
both the opportunity and the tempta-
ton to play the industrial game with
loaded dice, says the Engineering Mag
az.ne. The itching to get something
for nothing upon the market is at any
time the master vice in trade. One
risk of the business boom is always
that it lets loose those reckless forces
that hasten every disaster of the next
business collapse. The new com
bines," if they manipulate clandes-
timely, easily fire every passion to
play with stock variations - to lay
traps for the unwary, to declare divl-
dends that never have been earned
and to unload lying values upon the
public. 1t is evident that every form
of secret confectionery hidden device

A NEW SNAKE BITE REMEDY.
Egg and Salt Snid to Be n Certain
Antidote.
DION the Denver Posi-

kfTOTD Inc Denver POST
G. W. Blucher, an aged Iowa farmer
who came to Colorado five years ago for
his health, tells OF a remarkable cure for
the bite OF poisonous snakes.
Il have lived all my life in a country
where rattlesnakes We're thick" said Mr.
Blucher, "and l have seen a grea. many
people bitten. but l have never known
a case proving fatal where this remedy
was used All that is necessary is to pro-
cure the yOlk of an egg and mix with
ii enough salt 10 make a good thick pOul-
tice- Put the poultice on the bite and
bandage tightly. Watch the solution, and
when il is full of poison ii will change
color. II should then be renewed"
Mr.. Blueher has been living in the
mountains since he went West He says
that last year he heard of a little girl
being bitten in Littieton, but was unable
to communicate with her parents in time
to save her life.
said he, where two brothers, named Lee,
were bitten by giant rattler. One of the
men became almost paralyzed and had to

THE HARVARD CREW.
Rowing with Little Spirit Up to the
Present.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 14-Harvard
oarsmen leave for New London this week
1t is an unheard OF thing TO have the
makeup Of the crew undecided at the
time of going to New London, so that
next day or two.
There seems little probability Of any
change, for the combination being tried at
present looks better than any tried this
season Every man in the boat is very
strong oar, and if they can only get over
their rougbness and show a little more
life and spirit the boat ought to travel
fast
At present the crew is rowing with little
spirit, due, no doubt, In great part to the
hot weather and final examinations. The
men arc feeling a little tired--and so the
work has been very light for the last few
days.
One reason why the boat does not go
fast is that much of the headway is lost
between strokes. This shows that there
must be lack Of control in sliding for
ward. The men are not able to catch the
boat by quick turn back after they have
come out TO the full reach. They wait Until
the boat slows up a little before they get
the power On for the next stroke. For
this reason, therefore, every stroke is
almost like starting from a standstiIl.
The lack of ability in finishing the stroke
out hard, getting gently forward without
stopping the boat and then pushing her
ahead again while the boat is under a
strong headway, would save the men a
great deal of power which is now wasted.
Instead of getting the boat started and
keeping her going steadily between the
strokes, the men have to lift dead weight
at every stroke.
On watching some crews ones first
thought is How easy that looks." This
cannot be said Of the Harvard crew. The
men seem 10 be pulling hard without much
recompense in speed. The workmanship
CT the port side is very good. The oars
travel back together and are down close
to the water at the catch The starboard
side is not so good The general feeling
after seeing the crew row is that a great
deal of improvement in essentials will
have to be made in the next two and half
weeks for the race to be close, unless the
Yale crew is much oyerrated.
One thing that a crew has usually learn
ed by this tine of the year is steadiness.
This crew, however, is still very unsteady
The boat does not ride along stroke after
stroke on an uneven keel, but il takes sud
den lurehes. which are more disastrous to
a crews equilibrium and harder to RENE
dy than the more conservative fault. The
boat locks as if it were very finely bai-
aneed and rs IL a breath Of wind would
make it lurch down This is due 10 lack
OF leg control, and thus steady improve
ment must be made in the legs In order
10 remedy this as well as the stopping OF
the boat on the slide forward. AS il Is
now, the slide forward seems to take the
men'E strength as much as the stroke it

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Stock Mar

terdays final figures.
London was again 4 helpful factor in
the market, American stocks being shown
at advances there, while foreign houses

The dealings in the granger group were
unusually limited, as were the resultant

Refining. The steel industrials were dealt
In at slight AID irregular price changes.
The local traction group was again al
