PRICE OF A ZULU BRIDE.
Weird Funeral Journeys-W Worship Of
Snakes and the Sun.

Every grown up native Of Iululand
who has the twelve oxen necessary to
buy themhas six wives" said Victor T..
Nelson Of San Francisco to a Washington
Post reporter Mr.. Nelson fought with
the Beers against the British twenty
years ago, and afterward spent three
years in trading with the Zulus.
Yes he continued Everybody IS
much married i'll Zuluand, which occu-
pies an area about the size of California
and sustains about $4,000 population.
When the women are about twelve years
Of age they are purchased as wives at
two oxen apiece. There is no ceremony
and 10 minister; the man who is charmed
by the beauty of the maiden pays the
price and gets the wife. OF course, not
every man mas more than one wife; only
the more prosperous men and the chiefs
are able to maintain six Race suicide
is unknown and each wife has several
children.
In that country there are no laws and
no judges. Primitive methods and Gus
toms prevail, and the highest authority is
the local chief The people live near to
nature The dress of the men is con-
fined to a girdle about the waist, and
that of the women is not noticeable.
Physically they are fine specimens Of
manhood and wOmanhOod, having much
the same characteristics as the native
HawaiianS.

MEXICO'S GRAND OLD HAN.

Not a chance traveller who visits this
country but must write piece about
Mexico's Grand Old Man. He is lauded
as the savior of a nation, as the soldier
who brought order out of chaos and es-
tablished a republic.
Intimacy mostly dims hero worship
somewhat. and certainly we who have
lived in Mexico for years, know that the
republic is still something of a form Yet
when we begin to analyze the things
that have brought her out of a chaos of
riot and revolution that lasted for al
most three-quarters of a century, this
one figure stands out so prominently that
we can only join the chorus of universal
praise and concede that the soldier has
grown into the statesman, that the iron
hand has relaxed as circumstances war
ranted.
Porfirio Diaz is practically an absolute
ruler III Mexico today, yet certainly one
OF the strongest evidences of lis char
acter has been the fact that, during all
these years that his word has been law,
he has promulgated that word through
the channels of regularly organized re-
publican government. He has never
sought the name and appearance of a
dictator; on the other hand he has en-
deavorcd to accustom hts people to the
machinery of a democracy, If it appear
at times that the machinery is working
backward. the time will come when the
machine will in reality be turned around
and worked the other way.-Modern

Crop Rotation and Root-Aphis.

CROP kOf1GaOl ANA kSSo1-ADlasSs
From the fact that in the midst of
the corn belt, ana where the root-aphis
is known to prove destructive under
certain conditions, almost complete i'm
munity is secured where a system Of
crop rotation has been carried out for
many years, involving but one corn
crop in the cycle of rotation, it is self
evident that this measure offers the
greatest protection from the ravageS of
this pest, says government report,
Indeed, it is only where such a sys-
tenn of crop rotation is not practicable
that the root-aphis need be considered
in farm practice. To the eastward,
where there is more general rotation
of crops, this pest does but little in
jury.
Unfortunately, local conditions, often
extending over large sections Of coun-
try, will not permit Of crop rotation
being generally adopted, and some 9th
er plan more feasible must be put into
practice. Two other methods may be
followed. One of these is practicable
throughout the corn-growing section of
the country in seasons of not more
than normal precipitation during the
time intervening between the first
blowing of the ground and the first
cultivation of the young corn. Tie 9th
er is perhaps best adapted to the south
ern portion of the country on account
of the milder winters.
