NEWS SPREADS FAST.
Evsa the African Natives Bavs Thsis
systsms Of Com munlcation.


Both South African and British In
dian papers refer to the keen interest
taken by the natives OF the two coun-
tries In the war between the British
and the Beers. A regular system OF
communication Is said to have bcen es-
tablishcd between stations on the west
and the northwest frontier OF India and
the hill country. by which all lnforma-
tion concerning the progress of the war
is transmitted with extraordinary ra-
pldity among the trlbesmen. How it is
done is mystery yet unsolved; but
one Indian paper affirms that the news
OF the beginning OF hostilities In South
Africa was already known across the
frontier when 1t was received at Pesha-
wur by telegraph. The effect Of it was
seen In the agitation that began among
the tribes. and In call sent out by the
Mullah Of Povlndah for 5000 men to
assemble, ostensibly to march against
some recalcitrant chieftains. He also
issued a proclamation ascribing the de-
feats OF the tribesmen last year to the
want OF harmony among them. and
pointing out that II they wanted to re-
cover their independence they must
rise all together. In consequence OF
this agitation British force has been
sent to the frontier to the point threat
ened. A Rhodesian paper, in announc-
ing the outbreak of the war laments
the absence OF telegraphic communica-
tion between Beira and the coast towns
OF Natal and Cape Colony, by which
news could be received OF the progress
OF hostilities. and says that II all ether
means OF communication fail. they will
have to fall back upon the native house
boys. II says that 1t has certainly been
more than surprising in previous At
rican wars how early and correct was
the information the natives seemed to
possess. An instance Is given in which
during the last Mashona war. the Mas
honas in the tmtali district knew Of
the battle at the Shangania river on
the evening OF the same day on which
it was fought. How such speed OF com
munication was secured is still a puz-
zle. Whether 1t was done by shout
ing from hill to hill. or by feet run
ners In relays. the result. the covering
OF 40 miles In eight hours. was mar

Last Christmas. In Meth End Road
I'u!aam, there was on view an ,nor-
nous cake that lowered almost to the
ceiling OF the confec;ioaer's shop. II
was made to represent fortress, and
weighed more than i.0OO pounds. In
Its composition had been used 600
pounds Of flour, 400 pounds of butter,
400 pounds Of sugar. 600 pounds of
icing sugar. 800 pounds OF currants, 45O
pounds of sultanas. 800 pounds Of can
died peel. 200 pounds of almonds, and
5000 eggs. Gigantic. however, as was
this cake. 1t cannot be compared with
that with which In June, 1880. Frederick
William l. regaled his army. After a
huge repast Of beef. wine and beer had
been partaken of. the guests, to the
number Of $4,000. saw approaching an
immense car drawn by eight horses.
on which reposed . monster cake
eighteen yards long, eight yards broad
and one-half yard thick. It contained.
among other ingredie nts. 36 bushels of
hour. 200 gallons Of milk. ton of but
soldiers. who had already eaten a
hearty meal. were able to devour only
a portion OF this extraordinary cake.
SO to their aid were summoned the peo-
pie from the towns aud villages in the
neighborhood. among whom 1t was
distributed till not a morsel remained.
Last August the town OF Paignton re-
vived an old custom of making a plum
pudding for the benefit OF the local
poor. After being drawn in process

sold. Its weight-25O pounds-com-
