1t IL Something More Than a Love Of
Pretty tribes.
Even In its modern form when orna-

love Of pretty triies. On the persons
Of the female members of his family
the man loves to see the display of the
wealth which In these days is power,
and, If modern taste will not allow it
In himself, it is still indulgent to his
vicarious display of it through his
women. So far as women themselves
consciously aid and abet in this asser-
ton Of power, so far they may claim
to be acquitted from the charge Of
sheer vanity. Women of families who
have become recently rich love most
to display their jewelry, and it may be
there is not so much vanity as asser-
tion in 1t of their claim in virtue of
wealth to be respected and honored.
Those women who have undisputed
claims to distinction exercise more dis
cretiOn, and their chief displays are on
those occasions when it is congruous
to emphasize their social power and in
fiuence. Thus to the end we have the
close connection between ornament and

FIGHTING OXEN.
The HottentOts Trained Cattle to
Charge Riderless Into Battle.

The HottentOts Trained Cattle to
Charge Riderless Into Battle.
When the Dutch first settled at the
Cape they found that the original Hot
tentots owned large herds Of cattle,
which they regularly rode and traiped
to act as guardians Of their other cat
tie and their camps. So admirably were
these animals trained that they used
to charge before the tribesmen in bat
tie, apparently without riders, though
there may have been mounted leaders.
An old writer named Kolben says:
EVERY Hottentot army is provided
with a large troop Of these war oxen,
which permit themselves to be govern
ed without trouble and which their
leaders let loose at the appointed mo-
ment. The instant they are set free
they throw themselves with impetuos-
ity upon the opposite army. They
strike with their horns, they kick, they
rip up and trample beneath their feet
all that opposes them. They plunge
with fury into the midst of the ranks
and thus prepare an easy victory. The
manner in which these oxen are train
ed and disciplined certainly does great
honor to the talent of this people"
