Make the Baby Work.

The physician half closed his eyes
and looked at the baby, who was
troubled with indigestion. although it
was a fiat baby" Then he asked
for the baby's bottle, looked at the
nipple and grunted: Il thought so.
You make eating too easy for the
baby, like most foolish young moth
ers. You seem to think that 1t 10
doing him q kindness to make him q
lOafer about his milk. Now, let me
tell you, that baby is going to get
every drop of milk In a bottle, any
way, because he's hungry, and wants
1t, and you won't starve him II you
use a hard suction nipple. It's much
better for him to work while he feeds,
on the theory that Man shall earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow and
If the beads Of Precipitation stand out
on his little brow, and If he grunts
and wiggles, all the better. Ten
chances to one he Is enjoying his milk
twice as much as II the nipple was
one Of those easy things that fairly
poured the fluid down his throat, and
his digestion will be stronger"

TACTICS OF ZULUS.
CRESCENT FORMATION A FAVOR.
TIE ONE IN BATTLE.
Evolved BY Great Chief Who Made
His Tribe the Most Powerful
In Afrlea-Lord Roberts
Adopted u.

Once more the rising Of some Of
the Natal natives has turned mems
thoughts to the famous Zulu tactics.
In the minds Of most these are asso-
ciated with the name Of Tyaka, the
ruthless Zulu cOnqueror, who weld
ed into the stock OF the Amazulu, the
people Of the heavens, all the young
men Of the various tribes he con-
Quered, Incorporating them into regi-
ments and thus building up q power
full military nation. Yet It was to
Dingisiwayo the Wanderer that the
inception was due. This man, the
son Of the chief of the 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
genius 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
retained the nmkonto or throwing
assegai as their chief weapon. He
heard the great use made by the Brit
ish infantry of their favorite weapon,
the bayonet, and so he replaced the
umkonto by the ixwa, or broad-bladed
stabbing assegai.
The popularity Of the Zulu tactics
has earned 1t the name Of the crescent
formation for attack and 1t is note
worthy that, broadly speaking. 1t was
the method employed by the Beers
in their invasion Of Natal and adopt
ed 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 COM
pare 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 en-
gage 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
return no MORE" and death at the
hands of their fellows was the fate
of those who returned. While this
force was holding the enemy the horns
carried out their task If possible, and
as soon as the two horns had met in
the rear of the enemy the head or
chest was launched upon the posi-
ton and the upshot, as rule, was that
the whole force of the foe tasted the
assegai. For in war no quarter was
given or asked.

cause to make frequent complaints
Of the destructiveness Of his once

NOT THERE TO SING.
Applicant for Position on Stage Had
No Ambition to BE One

The following story is told at the
expense OF a New York theatrical
manager:
I'VE were engaged one morning
testing voices for . summer produc-
ton, the manager. musical director
and myself; there was q rather long
line and all looking for positions In
the chorus, and nearly every voice
was below the standard, which was
very disappointing. and the manager
got to be very irritable as we got to
the last Of the applicants. who was
. very melancholy looking man. AZ
he came to the piano he attempted
to make some remark. but was
promptly cut short by the manager.
who said
"'YoH will omit all preliminary ro-
marks and get down to business! Try
him. he added, turning to the d.
rector.
THE latter began the accOmpani-
ment to a popular song, which, with
some hesitancy, the applicant for q
job attempted with what voice he
had. His effort was about as bad as
it could have been.
"Look here!' cut in the MANAGER.
after the singer had cleared his throat
for q second verse, that will do! You
actually have the nerve to ask me for
job?'
Certainly replied the sad one in
an injured tone.
"'Why, man. you can't sing little

QUIET KING OF BEASTS.
Beautiful Animal Seen by Young Eng
lishman in Nigeria Was Of Peace
full Disposition.

That the lion is not always the roar
Ing, tearing beast of legendary de-
scription may be seen in the following
extract from the diary of a young
Englishman who is at present serving
his country in northern Nigeria:
Il had just topped long incline and
was walking my pony, when ON COM
Ing around corner of the road, hid
den by some trees, | saw, 70 yards in
front of nae, basking in the sun on an
open Patch of burning grass, a mag
nificent full-growR lion. The sun was
not strong, and he was very lazily
clicking his tail from side to side. He
had a short name, and his eyes were a
lovely amber red in the weak sun
light.
my first sensation was one Of
establishment, profound amazement
and delight at seeing such fine beast
He was beauty, and it seemed impos-
sible to realize that he was really wild
as he lay on mis- side looking at me
with his head raised as a dog does
when he hears his masters fOotstep.
He was fat as butter, sleek coated and
glossy.
my pony, as the breeze was coming
from the other direction, did not wind
him and went steadily ON without 80
much as pricking up his ears. My
dog was walking on in front. about
ten yards, and luckily did not notice
him. 1t was not until l was actually
passing him that l realized that II
the lion took 1t into his head to fancy
. bit of white man | should be unable
to dispute his right.
After l had proceeded some $50
yards the lion got up leisurely and fol-
lowed along the road behind me, but
after going about 100 yards, he turned
into the bush at the side Of the road. !"

The Wav Home.

On one occasion bishop invited
some friends to dine with him. On
their arrival, q short time before din

terval of waiting his friends would
perhaps like to walk through the

After spending about q quarter OF an
hour in admiring the flowers, shrubs
and greenhouses. they suddenly came
upon g door in the garden wall.
"Ah," said the bishop to his aston
ished guests, this will be much
nearer way for you to 90 home than
by going back to the 'front.'" and, for
getting his invitation, he opened the
door and bowed them out.
