vented bullet warranted not to kill,
declares the New York Tribune.
The ball is hollow and light. It was
tested by number of Frenchmen in

guards, rather like those on cavalry
swords, which protected the hand
when in the act of shooting, and the
inventor warned the shooters not to
lower the hand till their opponents
had fired. With the eye protected by
strong motor glasses no more protec-
ton was absolutely necessary. but
those who preferred to make more
sure wore padded long blouses.

TACTICS OF ZUlUS IN WAR.
Their Crescent Formation Adopted by
the British Against the Beers.

Once more the rising Of some of the
| Natal natives has turned men s
thoughts to the famous Zulu tactics.
In the minds Of most these are as
ISOLATED with the name of Tyaka, the
ruthless Zulu conquerOr, who welded
into the stock Of the Amazulu, the PEG.
pie of the heavens, all the young men
Of the various tribes he conquered,
Incorporating them into regiments
and thus building up a powerful mill
tary nation. Yet it was to Dingisi-
wayO the Wanderer that the inception
was due. This man, the son of the
chief of tn Umtetwa, was driven into
exile in consequence Of an abortive
plot to seize the reins of power.
During that exile he lived in Cape
Colony and saw the military methods
Of the British. With instructive gen.
ius he saw how the idea could be
adapted to his own nation and on his
return and accession to the chieftain.
ship he divided his people into regi.
ments, distinguishing them by names
and by a special color of shield for
each regiment, though for time they
chief weapon. He heard the great use
made by the British infantry of their
favorite weapon, the bayonet, and SO
he replaced the umkOntO by the iXwa.
or broadbladed stabbing assegai.
The popularity of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name Of the crescent
formation for attack and it is note
worthy that, broadly speaking, it was
the method employed by the Beers in
their invasion of Natal and adopted by
Lord Roberts in his advance through
Orange River Colony, and it was the
fear of it's success which kept the
Beers continually on the run. The
best thing with which to compare it
is the head of the stag-headed beetle.
Horns are thrown out widely on either
flank, while the main body forms the
head itself. From the main body a
small force is detached to engage the
enemy While the horns creep around
the TANKS.
This force in the days of Tyaka was
frequently dispatched with the com.
mand: Go, sons of Zulu, go and re-
turn no more" and death at the hands
of their fellows was the fate of those
who returned. While this force was
holding tn enemy the horns carried
out their ,..sk if possible, and as soon
as tbs two horns had met in the rear
of the enemy the head or chest was
launched upon the position and the
upshot, as rule, the whole force OF
the foe tasted the assegai. For in that
was no quarter was given or asked

SUGGESTION to Father,

The five-year-old son OF sectarlan
college president in city of Iowa
had always enjoyed immunity from
punishment for righteousness. His
father was a devOut Christian, in fact
owned the title of I'D" and was
a good disciplinarian.
On several occasions when the pre-
cocious youngster had disobeyed his
father the latter had taken the lad
into his study, and there, after clos
ing the door, very gravely lectured
him for his misconduct On each &C.
casion at the close OF the lecture the
father would ask his boy to kneel
with him in prayer for forgiveness.
With sad face the youth would kneel
while fervently the father would pray
for him.
One day the little chaps conduct
was more fragrant than usual, and it
shocked the dignified father very
much.
Young man." he said, sternly, "go
and get a switch and take it to my
study and wait there until l come.
With some apprehension for his
personal safety the lad obeyed. The
parent joined him in the study few
minutes later, and began to talk in
pretty and determined language to his
boy. The youth kept his eye con-
stantly on the switch, which lay be-
fore him on the table.
Nov, sir" the father said finally,
and in a sharp voice, what do you
think l ought to do with you?"
The terrified boy glanced up into
his fathers eye appealingly, and, in
. tone that was mild and diplomatic,
said:
Papa, let us pray."-Minneapolis

HOTEL KLEPTOMANlA,
Women Principal Offenders and An

Women Principal Offenders and An
nual Cost Of Loot Is Heavy.
It is the fashion in our modern no
tets to write off $4,000 a year as the
loss for silverware and china taken
by guests in the course of twelve
months. Many persons will have sow.
enirs OF their visits to New York, and
take spoons, knives, forks and any
sort of small ware they can slip in
their pockets. The craze has grown
so that the big hotel men now pur'
chase cheap hardware for the use OF
transient guests, but the figures OF
loss run up in three of the city hotels
to the 100000 mark. The women are
blamed for this sort of theft and the
proof seems to be against them.
Probably the best known hotel man
in the city said to me: I'VE know 1t
is the women who take the stuff, and
many Of them are New Workers. When
there is big dinner at the hotel at
tended by women as well as men, we
use special set of spoons and other
tableware made at little cost and
stamped with the name of our hotel.
We lose one-third Of them, but the
cost Of late years is figured in the din
ner at so much per plate. The spoons
don't cost us 6 cents each and are not
much to look at after one nights use.
The knives and forks are worth less
than Is cents. When we have a din.
ner exclusively for men we put good
plate on the table and don't lose 2
per cent. of it. This good table ser.
vice is cut out at the mixed dinners.
Our greatest loss is in the transient
out-of-town trade. One-half Of the
women must have a souvenir Of the
St. Regis, the Waldorf, or the Holland
House. They seem to think trip to
New York is failure unless they
have a few prizes to show. Many WON.
en- change about of odd pieces. They
don't mind showing their country
friends the loot they have won in New
York. 1t is not regarded as theft, but
as a smart fad, and have yet to hear
of one women denouncing the practice.
On the ocean steamships this souvenir
business has grown out Of bounds.
On o0e trip of New York liner to
this side one-half the butter plates and
one-third Of the spoons we're out OF
service before Sandy Hook was reach.
