sent the British, white for the Beers, and a
black for the Zulus themselves. 1t so happened
that the red beast survived ITS tortures little
longer than the others. Probably to this chance 1t
is due that the native races in South Africo did
not rise during the bitter struggle for the suprem-
acy of the southern half of the continent.
The Zulus are magnificent specimens of humani-
ty physically, and their strength and courage
match their appearance. They are also extremely
healthy as race, and very long enduring. This
is probably owning to their being largely vege-
tarians, their chief food being meae maize
porridge Consequently no other infantry in the
world is so mobile When a mpi starts out on
the war-path there are no cumbersome baggage

hurled is such that cases have often been known
in which the weapon has penetrated mans chest
and the sharp head passed out at his back. At
close quarters they use the stabbing When
an impi is in a tight place they have been seen
to break the long handles of their throwing
and use them stabbing weapons. 3e
Where the Zulus appear to fail against civilized
troops is in taking aim and firing from cover. But
their very rashness makes them foes to be respect
ed They will stand four times the loss that white
troops will bear. before turning tail. In fact an
impi will sometimes fight until it is literally ex-
terminated
TRYING TO MAKE HIM PAY TAXES.
The present effort of the Englishman to make
the Zulu work consists Of an attempt to
extract money from him in the shape Of
taxes which has been on.y partially success
full. Heretofore the black warrior has had no
use for money His herds and flocks afforded
him all the food he desired and his wife and
children did all the work. The forests and hunt
ing ground afforded him his recreation when not
actually on the war-path and also contributed to
his larder,, but years ago the Engshman assumed
a sovereignty over that part of the country and
lately has endeavored to extract ''hut-tax" from
the black man. This made it necessary for him
to do some work in order to get the necessary
money and to this program he strenuously OBJ
jected. The Zulus were not altogether as a unit
in this matter and some OF them who have be-
come somewhat civilized have submitted rather
than go to war, and thereby cut off their relations
with the English which had grown to be quite
profitable.
THEIR CURIOUS LANGUAGE.
The language of the Zulu is a curious tumble
and jargon. For some reason or other he finds il
necessary to make frequent us OF the "m' sound
and all nouns are proceeded by it. The universal
word for gun among the zulus is ''m'bai mbai"
pronounced biz and the way this happened is
an incident showing how the language has been
built up. Many years ago the English had ocea-
sion to send war vessel into the South Africa
waters to look after the Zuus 1t was the first
time that the black fellows had seen large gun,
and pointing TO it one Of them asked, What
himg" You'll find out by and by, replied one
of the officers ''M'ba m'bai" repeated the saw

surrounded with stockade of woven wattlcs.
Inside the huts, which beehive in shape,
stand in fairly regular rows These are built Of
the same wattlework as the fences and plastered
over with mud In the kraals of the married
regiments each hut is divided into two by parti-
tion one side being for the women, the other
for the men. Upon the mems side the walls arc
hung with their weapons and uniform. Their
assegas, both throwing and stabbing, their shields
of hardened Cowhde and, nowadays, their rifles,
/ are hung together Their uniforms consist of os-
trich plumes, cow-tails, and fighting apron Of
wildcat skin. There is usually raised platform
upon which the men sit and sleep, with a, space
underneath which serves to shelter young lambs
and calves in exceptionally bad weather.

kraal is another enclosure which holds the in
dumas cattle.
Although the Zulus-those at least who have
not been ruined by contact with the soealled civil
ization of the white man-are perhaps the highest
type of black race, yet they are as firm believers
in witchcraft as the degraded West Coast negro.

A VAST FIGHTING MACHINE.

More than any other nation on the face of the

simple and any description of how the Zulu
fights is description of his every day life. The
organization and perfection of Zulu soldiery dates
from 1913, when that remarkable savage T'Chaka
became chief OF the then comparatively small
tribe The extraordinary thing is that TChaka
had heard from English sailors of the great Ma
