Little Material to Work on, but ON.
cial Did His Best.
In a recent published book on the
Kaffirs Of South Africa the author
tells of the practice Of the native
chiefs Of keeping a court praiser-
which might be translated poet laure-
ate-whose business it is to go before
the chief and sing his praises. Some
times it happens that this function.
airy is apt to be, embarrassed for lack
Of matter, as in the case of the Swat
king Bunu. One day he went out
hunting with hundred warriors, and
after whole days effort he managed
to. kill only one miserable little hare.
Yet the. court praiser ran in front of
the king calling out: "Bunu, the
king of the Swazies, the chief Of
chiefs, has killed hare. Let all the
people listen. It was as big as an OK,
as fierce as lion and as swift as a
buck. The brave King Bunu killed
the hare all alone. He killed it with
his assegai. Listen, ye people. Bunu
the king has killed hare. Without
any help the king has killed a hare.
It was as terrible as tiger, as large
as an elephant; its eyes were flames
of fire; and yet Bunu the great king
has killed the hare" This long riga.
marole was repeated over and over,
while the king followed behind with
great gravity. .

Old ENGLISH Custom.

4 4 In certain districts Of England for
merly when an owner parted almost
entirely with other rights to house
he would reserve the right of boiling
his pot on. the fire. This secured to
him the right of voting, and, what
was of more Importance, the position
Of being ,freeholder. At Taunton,
for: example, the voters. were yballed

rights to ,.":wallop'' or ooN their pots

Taking Up Collections.

According to the Yorkshire Post
the question of offertory bags OF
plates is receiving earnest considera.
ton among church officers in that
part of England. It says: "The vicar,
the Rev. J. L. Saywell, presided at the
Easter vestry of St. :Paul's church,
stanningley, held yesterday. The
vicar, after the officers had been elect.
ed, expressed himself in favor of dis.
carding the bags used for taking the
offertories and the introduction OF
open dishes. Bags, he said, offered a
strong temptation to- some members
of the congregation to practice Mig.
gardliness."
