Judging TabIe-Linen.

Therei is nothing so difficult to Judge
as tabe-linen; no fabric where adul-
terations or exact qualities are diff
cult to discern. In other than high
grade establishments, where one must
depend upon personal Judgment for
the purity of fabric, there are few
points to keep in mind. Pure linen
is hard and slippery, never soft and
pliable. Ii moistened finger be ap-
piled to an all linen cloth the moisture
will at once appear on the other side.
whereas in mixed goods 1t will appear
slowly OF not at all. The fax odor is
always noticeable in linens, and every
woman should learn to recognize it OF
its absence. -Woman's Home Com
panion.

Then he established an inviolate
law that any soldier returning from
battle without assegai or shield, or
with q wound in the back, should be
executed as q coward. By another
law young soldiers were forbidden
wives until after long service, unless
meantime they earned them by dis
tinguished bravery in the field.
Absolute discipline was inculcated.
An expedition never knew its destina-
tion and purpose until far from home.
In attacking the first onslaught was
always in solid formation, supported
on either side by wings of skirmishers.
Flank movements were q regular
maneuvre, and as effective in savage
as in civilized warfare.
1t can easily be seen how the
Zulus, under such system, swept all
before them. The undisciplined saw
ages of the plains and forests went
down like grain before the reaper.
And every new tribe subiugated was
ruthlessly amalgamated into the VIC
torious nation.
The Zulus swept the coast, subju-
gated Natal and pushed their fierce,
bloody sway far inland. The terror
of their name passed far north and far
south.
Nor was there limit to their ravages
until the Dutch settled in Natal.
Then began a series of fierce fights in
which the white man and the rifle
finally triumphed and the Zulu power
was broken, or at least reduced to the
point of non-interference with the
movements of the Dutch and the Eng
lish. who soon after swarmed over the
land.
But while taught to respect the
white man, the Zulu nursed his tradi-
tions. his pride and his ferocity. 1t
was disgrace in his eyes to labor ex-
cept in the prosecution of war I'M
der Cetewayo, the great chief W b ose
power England broke in war in
which she met several terrible re-
verses and lost hosts OF splendid men,
the Zulu was at heart the Zulu of the
great Tshaka's days.
And this is the people who now
threaten to avail of England 8 troubles
to regain their freedom. They are
the same in spirit and are rich in re-
sentiment. For years they have
nursed their wrongs. What they have
lost in savage fierceness by genera
tion of peaceful subiection is more

An Accidental Consequence Of Kiss.

Webster Snider. of Sullivan, Ind. !,
went to Terre Haute to have a piece
of knitting needle removed from his
arm where it found lodgment when
his sweetheart was playfully resisting
his effort to kiss her. Snider says
that when bidding the young lady
good night he attempted to kiss her.
She resisted and there was scuffie.
He kissed her and in doing so ran his
arm against the needle, which she
held in her hand. 1t penetrated the
arm four or five inches and three
inches of it broke off in the arm. The
X-ray was used by the surgeon
and the piece of the needle was re.
moved.

STORY OF A MALARIA GERM.
What One OF Them Has to Contend With
in tho Human System.

What One OF Them Has to Contend With
in tho Human System.
Theodore Waters, in Ainslee's. has
edited the life story Of a malaria germ.
Here is the germs description of a
fight with the phagocytes: Gust then
lot of our newborn brothers began
crowding upon us from behind, and
when we turned to demonstrate we
saw, away to the rear, grand COM
motion. fight and retreat were
going on. 1t was slaughter of the
most horrible kind. There at the
head of tide of blood were columns
of phagocytes cutting into the rear
guard of malaria germs. killing them,
swallowing them whole and growing
lustier as the process went on. 1t was
an awful spectacle. 1 hung back, fas-
cinated. A phagocyte would race
down the current with swift, over
hand stroke, reach out and grasp
microbe from behind. Then the arm
of the phagocyte would shorten, and,
as it seemed to me, retreat into the
white monsters interior, dragging the
germ with it. Sometimes phago-
bump against poor germ as though
shouldering him out of the road.
Away would go the poor germ, swim
ming fast in order to avoid the en-
counter, but his enemy would then
swim faster, striking him fair in the
middle, and with slow motion going
inside out like glove, and actually
taking the germ in with him. Ugh
l should have remained there in a
sheer spell if my companion had not
pulled me along with him.
Make for a red blood cell5' he
called as we went onward.
What, said I, "a red cell? We
have just come from one!
Never mind, he replied, find
red cell and eat your way inside. 1t
is our only chance. See, the others
are doing it'
Sure enough, many of my brethren
had selected good red blood cells and
were penetrating the skin and climb
ing inside TO escape the phagocytes.
1t seemed to me so unfortunate, just
as we had gained our freedom, but it
was better than death So we looked
for cells. Every cell we came to, how
ever, was being occupied, and it
seemed to me that the phagocytes
were gaining on us when my com
panion suddenly pulled me to one
side and cried
Look out Look out! Keep
away from that current near the cen
tire there. 1t is worse than death?
"'What is it?' I cried, for L could
see nothing.
Don't you see?' he said, hugging
the wall of the tunnel, there it is,
that discoored streak, running near
the centre of the stream. 1t is caused
by what men call quinine, and it is
deadly if you swim in it.
How does it affect you?' 1 asked.
"If you swallow it, it numbs you
makes you incapable of motion

into red blood cell is living

cytes /!
81 shuddered and swan on. At the
end of 4 sewer-like opening my friend
darted to one side and seized n red
blood cell which was unoccupied. He
began work on it at once.
'Goodby, brotherr he said Here
is where 1 stop. I've work to do.
Hope you'll get out of the wet before
our white friends catch you Look
out for the quinine streaks.

Caring for Cut Glass.

In caring for cut glass. tepid water,
pure soap and stiff brush are the

sawdust from the plain surfaces with
