coast of the continent to seek work In
the City of Gold. Yet. so firmly bound
are they to their tribal chiefs that

rebellion, will send them hurrying In
hot haste homeward to enroll in their
regiments. II is difficult to identify
in their smiling faces the descendants
of the fierce warriors who made the
Zulu name a nightmare throughout
South Africa for nearly century.
They hire their 'rickshaws from the
owners, paying at the rate of about
three shillings, or rs cents, day,
and receiving all their earnings. The

Zulu as Serving Maid.
The Zulu is one of the mainstays Of
the housewife in South Africa. The
maid of the up-country Boer woman
Is usually yellow Hottentot girl; but
the Zulu takes in the towns, the place
filled in Northern countries by the
serving maid. He is the housemaid,
nursemaid, errand boy, good cook

South Africa is not an especially
law-ablding country, and the punish
ment of the opium smuggler is usually
summary. He is offered the choice
between a flogging and period of
Imprisonment. and, of course, chooses
the former. Thereupon he is strapped
tightly to a wagon wheel and receives
so lashes from whip of hippopotamus
hide, welded by half-castes. These
men, delighted at taking their revenge
upon one of the white race, do not
spare the victim. His back is literally
cut to pieces, and, at the end, half
dead and streaming with blood, he is
flung out of the compound.
The Market Square.
OF course in JOB -nnesburg there Is
the great marke square, feature
common to all South African cities,
which are built about them. When
one of the frequent tornadoes comes
along 1t becomes a reservoir of dust,
which invades every corner of the
town, compelling the housewife to en-
gage in an additional Spring clean

one of the continuous native risings,
hostile army of tribesmen menaces

into 'laager," forming an encampment
behind bulwark of wagons fastened
together, the duesselboom, or center
pole of each, against which the oxen
are fastened In pairs, being locked
into the hind wheels of the wagon adj
jacent,, and the spaces between the
wheels being piled high with sacks of
| maize. Seldom or never has such a
barricade been overwhelmed. II was
in such wise that, early In the last
century, the Beers overcame the
hordes of the treacherous Dingaan, the
| Zulu king. the men firing from behind

| guns, while the women, in the inside
of the square loaded and passed up
the rifles. These wagons are more
like caravans. The produce is stacked
upon the front portion, behind which
there Is sitting room, covered with a
white, waterproof canvas, stretched
upon hoops, beneath which is the
kartel, or family bedstead, a wooden
frame interlaced with strips of hippo
potamus hide, on which the entire
family sleep in their clothes.
At Night In the Square.
The farmer, arriving at Johannes
burg about midnight, after long days
trek, "outspans" in the great market
square, and goes to sleep beside his
wagon, while the native "boys," hav
ing fed and watered the animals, kin
die a fire in the square, round which
they crouch in their blankets until
