Gus. They have no sim1lltude what
ever to the remains to be found In 9TH
er parts of southern Rhodesia. The
Inyanga ruins form type by them
selves, and it would appear as II the
whole of the Inyanga country was once
one huge city. For 100 miles by 60 1t

which has not passed through human
hands. Who were the occupiers? What
was their object? How did they dis
appear?
Whoever the people were they most
certainly understood the building art.
Books of fiction call attention to an
old fort, which despite the fact that 1T
is told of in unauthentic works, has
become a matter of history, because of
it's actual existence. The walls, even
at this late period are substantial, be-
ing constructed from six to ten feet
in width at different spots and the
ruined SUBMITS of the rude turrets are
still about eight feet in height.
Rough stones of all sizes and shapes
were used in their construction. That
this building was a fort admits of no
discussion. It's stragetic position, enor-
nous strength, narrow entrances and
loopholed walls, all point to this con-
clusion; besides which terrace wall
round the inside of the main walls
enabled the defenders to throw spears
and shoot arrows on the enemy out
side. The entrances are all covered,
and number 81. To enter the building
one has to stoop considerably along a
passage barely shoulders wide. There
are no less than go loopholes IN the
walls. The interior of the fort is d.

Enclosure being higher than the others.
and thus forming an inner citadel with
walls ten feet wide. Inside the ruins
are the remains of the stone walls OF
circular dwellings. We visited other
and similar hill forts in the district,
and found their numbers to be aston

One of the features of great interest
in the Inyanga region is the slave
pits" These are found by hundreds,
even within a small area. Generally the
pits are found in clusters OF twos anu
threes, or singly at distance OF not
so yards apart. Fig trees of great girtn
grow on the floors or from the wall

are not of very great age, 90 they are

Writers and scientific men of the
present day are engaged in never
ending, never-satisfied search for
things mysterious and at the same
time romantic Let those who would
environ themselves in such conditions
invade the mountains of southeastern
Zambesia in South Africa and the prod
uct would doubtless thrill the reading
world for years to come.
This mountainous country teens
with romance and mystery. Rising to
a height of 10000 feet above the sea
level, the Inyanga mountains give
those who seek the strange and weird
climate which strongly resembles
that Of Switzerland. The mountains
cover an area of country extending
about 100 miles from north to south
and go miles from east to west, lying
Immediately to the south of the mighty
Zambesi at Tete, and about $50 miles

known as Hill Terraces, and these are
found in hundreds throughout Inyanga.
These terraces covering the sides of
the hills are mostly on their northern
side. AS many as 40 terraces, one
above and behind the other are to be
found on any one hill. Most of these
have earth behind them; but from the
inner sides of many the soil has, in
the, course of ages, been washed away.
They are retaining walls, and most
probably were used for horticultural
purposes Their constructors were most

oome day the mystery which envel-
ops this part of Rhodesia will be
cleared up. At present it presents q
most fascinating field for investigation,
in the study of which much progress
has been made within the last few
years. But we may never, perhaps,
know the tragedy of the exodus OF
these ancient colonists.
Here, side by side with the monu-
ments of the unconquerable and inevi-
table march of time-are to be seen the
iron poles carrying the telegraph wire

hills will echo to the whistle and the
rumble of the trains that are to link
the far southern seas with the Medi-
terranean.
Traces of lost races ana ancient peo-
pies are to be found throughout the
great area of Inyanga. These evidences
are to be found almost every hundred
yards of ones travels through the
range, and in these traces lie many
problems which scientific men for years
to come will attempt to solve, and it is
without shadow of doubt a puzzle
which will battle the best of men en-
gagged in just this sort of field. In

WASTED FERTILIZERS.

think that we do not fully appre-
ciate the very large amount Of ferttl-
izer that goes to waste in the common
operation of the farm. The great
piles of old straw that used to be
burned up contained great amount
of plant food and humus, of which our
farms are beginning to feel the need.
Even now / find it hard to convince
ne of my neighbOrs that they are
king a mistake in permitting their
.arshes to be annually burned over
writes an Iowa farmer, in the Farm
ers' Review One of these marshes
near me was this year covered with
a growth of rank grass at least three
feet high. 1t was moved and tbs
grass permitted to lie in windows till
it became dry, when it was set on fire
That same grass could have been used
in composts or at least as mulch, and
have played very important part In
the work of the farm.
The sun beating down on the herb
age takes out of it some of the ele-
ments that are most needed in the
soil, especially the nitrogen. This Is
continually disappearing, and is not
replaced by nature except after very
long periods of time. Every scrap OF
fertility that does not have to be sold
off the farm should be retained on it.
1t is bad enough to have to part with
the fertility even when we are paid
for it; we certainly cannot afford to
let it slip away from us without be-
ing paid for.

STOUT WOMAN REVENCED
Street Car Passenger Had a Way of
Getting Even with Annoy
ing Man.

1t was a rainy, sloppy day. In Lex
ington avenue car a man gave up his seat
to an old woman who had just clambered
aboagd and could not reach the hanging
strap. That is, relates a New York ex-
change, he intended to give up the seat
to her, but a. stout woman sitting beside
him grabbed six-year-old girl, who was
standing at her knee, and lifted her into
the seat.
I intended my seat for this lady," said
the man, helping the old woman to get
further away from the crowd at the door.
My child has paid her fare" snapped
the stout woman. ''The seat ceased to
be yours when you gave it up"
.'Oh, never mind; would as soon
stand" said the old woman.
TITS selfish women like you that pre-
vent men from giving up their seats in
cars to others of your SEX said the man
who was evidently in the mood for dis
cussIon; and talked so that everybody in
the car could hear him. The woman
flushed and turned to the girl.
''Trixie," she said, you may kneel on
the seat if you want to- and look out OF
the window"
Trixie did, and for the next five blocks
wiped her muddy shoes on the self-sacri-
ficing mans trousers. The stout woman
smiled. She was revenged.

SOME WHY DON'T YoU's.

Why don't you take more rains to
be self-sacrificing? Time is rapidly
passing.
Why don't you send away that lit

send? Mere kind intentions never ac-
complish any good.
Why don't you speak out the encour-

thoughts? Unless you express them
they are of no use to others.
Why don't you make the promised
visit to that invalid? She is looking
for you day after day, and "hope de-

LOSS OF APPETITE
Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves and

Nature Furnishes every infraction of

"while was regularly working at my
trade, grew somewhat careless in my
habits of eating and drinking, and finally
found that my appetite was tickle, q bad
taste fingered in my mouth, my nerves
twitched and, were beyond my control,
my kidneys were out of order and cold
sweats would break out over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
of the limbs, and profuse sweating, and
a severe chill would seize me. became
alarmed at my condition and, having
read an endorsement of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, got a box and began to use
them. They helped me at once. After
had used one box the twitching of the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach
and the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappeared, and my appetite is good.

Browne because nothing. can strengthen
the nerves except good rich, red blood

Poles have been such uncertain
things under unfavorable conditions
that for number of years / have
used an arrangement similar to the
one shown in the cut, says a writer in

easily constructed at little or no ex-
pense. Any sort of available poles or
sticks may be used, dashed together
with pieces of Irvine or small wire.
The platform, built ten inches or more
from the ground, permits a free cir
culation of air underneath, and so up
through the pile, and prevents the bot
tom layer from molding. By arrang-
ing. cross-sticks, as shown, a cover
may be placed over the top that will
prevent rain entering the stack from
