when my little boy was six months
old. he had eczema. The sores extend

We then went TO another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
ters became SO bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger. and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate. as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms. chest, and back, In short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day OF night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed. we
had to pin his hands down: otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. think his face must have
ttched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could

under good medical care there. But,

The case of Mrs. c. W. Pearson, who

the doctor. and after making a thor

doubtedly the cause Of her trouble was

mineral County rreasure.

Mineral county's production for 1905
was 61,S23 tons, net, against 76,419
tons for 1904. The decrease is ac-
counted for in part by the high water
during the months Of July and August,
which washed out the railroad tracks.
The total represents the actual ship

AN AFRICAN sIBYL.
Every Tribe OF Dark Continent Deals
in Medicine and Magic.

From the London Spectator.
One merit of our oversee empire is that
1t keeps us in a humble frame of mind
about civilization. We find under our
rule peoples whose customs and rituals,
tolerated or forbidden by our law, carry
us back to the rock whence we were all
hewn. I'VE know" in Eemerson's phrase,
that the barriers of race are not so firm
but that spray can sprinkle us from an
tediluvian seas" In the current Month
ly Review the rector of Barberton repeats
a rumor which invests the present dreary
struggle in Natal with something of the
romance which we are wont to associate
with an earlier epoch in our African his
tory. Dinlzulu it is rumored, has sent
emlssaries to consult Majaj as to the
chances of a native rising, and to obtain
war medicine for his people. All over
South Africa in every tribe there Is
kind of rude priesthood, who deal In big
medicine and strong magic" In the main
they are charlatans. ghost-doctors VINO
play strange tricks with bones. and inter-
cede between the living and the spirits OF
the dead But no white man who mas
lived much among natives will care to be
too dogmatc on the matter of their char
lantry. They have often a rough work
ing knowledge Of medicine, and have dis
titled from herbs very effective remedies.
They are often, too, fair meteorologists,
able to predict the weather better than
the white man of their fellow
tribesmen and they have some crude
skill in hypnotism. The writer has
been witness of instances of Kaffir tel
epathy which makes him hesitate to say

of the words of the song, and they repeat
music. Most of the women learn the mel
ody quickly if 1t is catchy, but are not
so apt in memorlzing the words.
The other day at rehearsal one booster
tried to call to task young woman from

for glass and eyether for either.
"Cut that Cockney gag out" shouted
the booster, sternly You're not in the

emphasis than before.
"Hey!" he said you amt playin a

See? Just plain English You're the

a job in a sausage factory putting tights

booster.

louder.

At this moment the leading comedian
entered and inquired what the trouble
was.

young woman, pointing to the booster
'insulted me. Jack, you Just beat that

Jack, a husky six-footer, showed signs
of obeying the chorus girls mandate

peared. By tact he managed to restore
peace. However, the booster had to
apologize before the fiery Chicago young
woman would return to her duties.

OF all the little tribes, only Majaji's has

1t is shrinking rapidly, and the ground
originally granted as a reserve is too large
for the use of those who remain, and will

governed always by a woman who ae-
quires the sanctty of her predecessors.
The old Majaji, who was believed, like
another Gagool, to have lived for hun

what is or is not possible in that strange
world. But as a rule these tribal doctors
have only a small local reputation, and
there are few whom other tribes would
take the pains to consult Ma1aji, how
ever is another matter. Her reputation
has spread from the Zambes to the south
ern ocean. Dinizulu, for all we know
may be a model of loyalty, and may have
thought as little of consulting her as of
seeking advice from Mrs. Eddy. But the
fact that it is commonly believed that the
greatest of Zulu chiefs should send for
help to a remote country five hundred
miles off shows how great the repute OF
the wonder-worker must be.
