In. spite of all the care that the most

lows. the feather ones especially. they
will after awhile become musty and emit
an unpleasant odor. They may be aired
daily where no sun can strike upon them
to draw the oil out from them, and so add
to the unpleasantness, but they need more
than this.
Not only should the outside tick re-
ceive the airing which is it's daily right
but occasionally the inside feathers
should have the benefit of publication
of the kind. Years ago, longer than most
you can remember, cur grcat-grand-
mothers used to have a device for intro
ducing the air into the pillows among the
feathers. by a crude ventilating arrange
ment. In each corner of the pillow there
was placed short goose quill, which let
them sweet. In later times there was :,
device to take the place of the quill which
reached the same result. and was by far
better. 1t is made of rubber, just about

that neither insects nor dust can get in.
Ihe pillows can be thoroughly punched

IN among the feathers they become won
derfully airy and light, and remain so
for some time. Even with this device.
however, the pillows should be ripped
apart once Il year at least, selecting Il
cool, bright day in early spring or fall,
and thoroughly aired, the ticks washed
or new ones made, and then the feathers
returned not forgetting to put in the

THE TUGELA RIVER.

Picturesque ard Magnificent Sur
roundines of Its Cours~.
The Modder and Tugela rivers are ut
the present moment, perhaps, the most
conspicuous streams i'll South Africa.
The Tugela. or Startling" river, is the
longest river in Natal, being over POO
miles long, attaining breadth at its
mouth of $50 feet. For the last sixty
miles or so of it's course it forms the
boundary line between .Nat;h and Zulu
land the latter being now Il province of
Natal.
1t rises OH the Free State side of Mont
aux Sources, in the Drakensberg noun
taIns. the extreme western point i'll
Natal, and at once leaps down into the
colony with a fall, broken by one or two
Lodges, of 1900 feet-the highest water
fall in the world. 1t then tears through IL
canyon over two miles long, joined here
and there by many foaming stream
from kloof and hillside, and cuts the col
ony in two, separating Kip River county
from Weenen county. Its first tributary
, of any Importance before reaching Co
lenso is the Little Tuge1a. flowing in from
the south. At COlenSo it is crossed by
the Bulwer road bridge and substantial
railway bridge. consisting of four stone
piers and five iron spans. Whether the

| The BlauWkranz river next joins it on
| the south bank. and Il few miles nearer
| the mouth the Tugela is augmented by
| the Bushman river on which 4Istcourt
stands. Ten miles lower down. but on
the north side of the "Startling river"
the Sundays river comes tearing in from
| Its distant sources in the Biggarsberg
past Elandslaagte. This latter river re-
ceives the Inkunzi and Waschbank
streams: which traverse the southern dis
tr'cts of NatalS coaltields
| Just before the Tugela reaches the
Zulu border the Mooi (goodD river runs in
| from the south. At the Zulu border the
| Iugela receives its largest tributary, the
| Buffalo or CmZinyat! river, which from
its source near Charlestown flows south
east, forming Natars eastern boundary
| between her territory, the Transvaal and
Zululand.

lower down come ROrkp'S and Fugitive

The scenery throughout the whole
