1t is rather more interesting than
comforting to our English cousins to
learn that the serious uprising in South
Africa may be due to the belief of the
Zulus that they remain boys until they
shed blood in battle;-that in blooding
their assegais they become men.

A Cat Dilemma

A babu in charge Of the documents
Of a certain town in India found that
they were being seriously damaged by
rats. He wrote to the government to
provide him with weekly rations for
two cats to destroy the rats. The re-
quest was granted, and the two cats
were installed, one, the larger Of the
two, receiving slightly better rations
than the other All went well for a
few weeks, when the supreme govern
ment of India received the following
dispatch: II have the honor to inform
you that the senior cat is absent with
out leave. What shall l doY The
problem seemed to battle the supreme
government, for the babu received no
answer. After waiting a few days he
sent off proposal: "In re absentee
cat. / propose to promote the Junior
cat and In the meantime to take into
government service probationer cat
on full rations." The supreme govern
ment expressed Its approval Of the
scheme, and things once more ran
smoothly In that department.

LACE Is PARAMOUNT.

1t Is quite fad to have the sleeves
finished with several taffeta ruchings,
and they are more practical than the
lace rufiies that were SO tremendously
popular.
On the smartest lingerie blouses ap.
pear embroidered motifs of large flow
ers, such as roses or popples, worked
only on the outer petals, the heart Of
the flower being done In a succession
Of tightly curled petals with bit Of
lace set squarefy in the center. Often
the leaves are treated in the same way.
These motifs give the whole design an
effect of light and shading that Is ex-
ceedingly attractive.
Fringes and buttons play an impor-
tant part in the world Of trimmings.
Buttons are small, and frnges are
heavy, but no doubt this order Of things
will be reversed before lsng. Just now
freaks of fashion are numerous, for
many trial trips are being made on
the field Of dress.
Velvet ribbons are a favorite trim
ming on hats, made into bows, ruch-
ings and rosettes.
One Of the latest fads Is the wearing
Of white lace sleeves on sheer black
evening gowns, such as those of net or
mousseline de sole.
On all the new frocks there will be
an abundance of lace-alencon, baby,
cluny, mechlin and Irish crochet.

hurtful to the service or injurious to discipline, and # is not expected that another soldier should turn voluntarily infofmer and bring his comrades into trouble when no serious fault has been committed.
 We agree with The oresonian that a spirit of loyalty to comrades may prop srIy prevent a student or a soldier from becoming an informer where no serious fault has been committed. but the parallel does not hold good in this instance. Here one Of the most hein- ous of all crimes had been committed by one or more soldiers of the 2Sth infantry. The efforts of both the civil and military officers to locate the crim- inals were fFuitless, because every ne- gro in the battalion refused to give evidence. Not only the good of the service demanded that the guilty par ties should be punished. but 1t was necessary for the weIl-being of society and for the credit of the laws of tho country that the criminals should be brought to justice, or that those who shielded them should suffer. Perhaps the course adopted by the President was harsh. but we think The ore- gorian win hardly deny that some form of discipline was needed. what the President may do about 1t in the future we do not propose to say. bus we do Insist that many of the harsh criticisms visited on him are unfair.

As The Albany (Ga.) Herald looks at the matter, s'what is the use Of ex- perimentai marriage, anyway. if only one husband out of eight is really low able, as the experience Mrs. Polly Baker of Indiana says7 She has tried eight husbands-one of them twice. and she says all but one were con- trary and wanted their own way all the time. which. of course. she would not submit to. If men are so unsatis- factory 8 woman might as well stick to her first as to go farther and fare worse. And then there is La Belle otero," who has been persuaded to marry an English manufacturer, but has grave doubts about the result. T can't conceal from myself she says, "that it's an experiment." Evidently. observes The Philadelphia Record, we have experimental marriage now, and 1t is disappointing"
 Mrs. Polly has evidently fallen into a habit of marrying that will develop Into a confirmed habit if she keeps 1t up. Marrying Is not bad habit. in the abstract or in actual practice, if one marries from proper motives, but when 8 woman takes 1t up, as Mrs. Baker evidently did, for no other req son than the hope or expectation of getting faultless husband. good peo- pie can hardly look on it as a com mendable practice. Such husbands are not manufactured these days, if they ever were. and of that we have some doubts. No doubt cur old Father Adam himself was not entirely fault less. We suspect that Eve sometimes made life hot for him when he failed to get up and start the fire. or to bring wood and water and do other stunts usually considered part Of the house. hold duties Of the good husband,
 But there Is another point that al- ways obtrudes itself when we read of a woman like Mrs. Polly. Her ef- forts were all directed, 1t appears, to finding husband without faults, but what of herself? Is she immaculate, without fault or blame? While she is experimenting with husbands in hope of finding a perfect one, can she lay her hand on her heart and truthfully assert that she is in every way just the kind of good wife that good man would deserve2 Does 1t ever cross her mind that in cutting loose from her numerous experimental husbands. she may have been doing them a favor of no small magnitude? She should try to take an impartial view of both sides and bear in mind that if such being as perfect man could be found he might be badly mismated when he mar ried.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
 ARE AILING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt RestOra- tive Measures is Something That Every One Should
 Understand.
"A sHtcn in Time Saves Nins."

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning syrnp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease crsome other dangerous tnaiady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, puftineas under the eyes. irregularities in the urine. digestive disorders, it will save the victim incai- cufable misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin ming of the trouble 1t otares quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances win possibly permit.

The Huntsville Mercury, usually very accurate in its statements, is far away from the facts when 1t says:
 The assessed valuation of AIabama's taxable property is one billion dollars, and it is safe to say It's real value Is rive hundred millions more.
 The assessed valuation in Alabama is considerably less than one-half the amount stated by The Mercury. If it was correct. there would be no place at the Capitol big enough to hold the money that would come pouring in and all of our counties would soon have fine court houses, and the best oi roads and bridges, to say nothing ot the great increase that could be made to the school fund. The Mercury must have been figuring on what ought to be rather than what 1t is.
