Zulu SeamStresS.

The skill of the Zulu of South Afri-
ca in sewing fur Is household word
in South Africa, and some of the other
tribes compete with them. The need
lie employed is widely different from
that used by the ordinary needlewom
an In the first place, according to
Stray Stories, it has no eye; in the
second, it is like skewer, pointed at
one end and thick at the other
The thread is not of cotton, but is
made of the sinews of various animals
the best being made from the sinews
in the neck of a giraffe. Ii is stiff,
elastic, with great tendency to
l"kink" and tangle itself up with any
thing near it. Before being used it is
stepped in hot water until it is quite
soft, and is then beaten between two
smooth stones, which cause it to sep
arate into filaments, which can thus be
obtained of any strength and thick
ness. Thus the seamstress has con-
siderable amount of labor before she
commences with the real work in
hand.
Finally she squats on the ground
(for no native stands to work, or do
anything else, who can possibly help
iD, and taking her needle, bores two
holes in the edges of the rug or gar
ment on which she is working. The
thread is then pushed through with
the butt of the needle, drawn tightly,
and two more holes are made with a
like result, the skewer progressing
very slowly compared with an English
needlewoman, but fast enough for a
country where time is of no value
whatever.
The skin upon which the seamstress
is working is damped with water be-
fore she commences, and as the damp
thread and hide dry out it brings the
work very closely together. This is
carefully attended to and the work is
not allowed to get dry until finished,
when the seamstress lays 1T fiat upon
the ground, pulling it this way and
mixing and arranging the hair for sew
eral hours, until, the skin being gener-
| ally dry, it is impossible to find the
Joint or hem with the naked eye.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1900.
Quaint Journey.

One of the most amusing shippers
visiting Philadelphia the genial COM
mander of the British bark Callium,
one of the fleet of Greeland cyrolite
traders which has just discharged her
cargo here and loaded coal for Deme-
rara. A fine specimen of the real old
time sailor, Capt. Smith possesses a
fund of knowledge gathered through
years of rough experience, the record
of which would form the ground work
of an up-to-date sea novel, says the
Philadelphia Press"
For years this picturesque skipper
gained knowledge of the high latitudes
that has been a great benefit to him in
his present trade through service
aboard one of the Old Peterhead whal
ers, a fleet once famous, but now al
most extinct. Capt. Smith has been
one of the most successful of the Arc
tic traders, his only mishap being the
loss of the British bark Argenta
which he commanded in the fall of
1896. This vessel was actually crushed
to atoms by the Arctic foe ice All
were rescued after a thrilling eXper-
ience, and made their way to Freder-
ricksshaab where they were housed
and fed by the Danish Governor.
Capt. Smith has greater knowledge
of Greenland than any other man in
the merchant service. When he can be
induced to tell of the bleak settlements
surroundd by the polar ice his stories
are always appreciated, and he is sure
of large and appreciative audience.
Several years ago just before his de-
parture for Demerara, the skipper told
a most interesting story of journalism
in Greeland. Journalism in Green
land, he said, is represented by a sin
gle PAPER, and to its proprietor, Mr..
Moeller, is due the credit of educating
a large number of the natives, be-
cause he not only printed the paper for
them, but also taught them to read it,
This wonderfully energetic man per-
forms single-handed the functions of
editor, reporter, proprietor. printer
distributor and business manager. The
entire paper, which is printed in Got
haab, is the product of his own pen.
Some time ago he set up a primitive
printing establishment, and every two
weeks he performs long journey on
skates to dispose Of his journal
Originally it contained only a few
crude illustrations, but gradually other
matter was introduced, until now it
contains articles on the affairs OF the
day. This man actually taught his
subscribers to read his paper, first in
Producing words, then sentences and
now articles on the topics of the day.
Mr.. Moeller is a Dane and has lived |
in Greenland for many years. He |
takes a deep interest in anything cal
culated to make lighter the burdens of
the natives, and is beloved by all who
know him.

dents and brilliant climaXes, will sure
ly be out in force to give The Ensign
a hearty welcome, Monday evening,
when it is to be presented by the Little
Irene Myers Co. at the Auditorium.
AS the title of the play suggests, it is
a story of the navy, the principal
events of which occur on board U. S.
warship, thereby affording opportunity
for elaborate scenic investure. OF not

in the distance; the gun deck of the

Cabinet room in the White House,
wherein a very beautiful scene tran
spires between President Lincoln and
San Jacinto prepared for the execu-
tion of supposed offender of the U. S.
naval laws. Little Irene will be seen
as Dot, the soubrette role, very con-
spicuous part which extends through
out the entire play. In this role her
admirers will have an opportunity of
seeing her in an entirely different line
of work from any which she has ever
attempted, displaying talent seldom
equaled by one of her years. The cast
throughout is exceptionally strong,
and with the addition of an elaborate
scenic equipment, a first class per
formance can be expected. Seats on

How circumstances will alter cases
has always been an interesting subject
of comment. 1t very plainly illus
trates human nature. The following
illustration may he slightly exaggerat-
ed, however it is good:
1--WE heard you whipping your boy
in the woodshed last night" said the
spokesman of the party.
YES" replied the indignant parent,
''the youngster played hooky from
school, ate up two jars of his mothers
jam, tumbled his little sister out of a
high chair and tried to build bonfire
in the barn"
"No matter" returned the spokes-
man; 'it is government without the
consent Of the governed and we can,
not permit it."
Besides that" went on the indig-
nant parent, "he broke three windows
in your basement"
What" cried the spokesman; "is
he the boy who did that? Why, he
ought to be licked within an inch of
his life! I'd like to have the handing
of him for a day or so and I'd teach
him to behave himself"
But government without the con-
sent"
rs a theory nothing but theory-a
measly little impossible theory"
Now that the Japanese are coming to
the front with such amazing leaps and
bounds, some of their more salient
characteristics are sure to be noticed,
if not adopted by the westerners. Take

Some Observations.

There is one thing certain" said a
prominent physician of Marietta, a day
or two ago, "if the people of Marietta
continue to use the gas heaters, now
so generally in use, with no means of
carrying off the burnt gas, the death
rate in Marietta will certainly increase.
The air of room is rendered unfit
to be breathed by these heaters"

the prime requisite of a capable teach
