Ing chemical test by which to detect

the country, are making this test It
is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market Any one
can make the test-all that is needed
is simple little instrument which
may be had free by writing National

owners Painting Outfit No. 49,
The outfit includes also set of color
schemes for exterior or interior paint

should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can't expect satisfactory paint

is a way to make sure you're getting a
pure white lead-without testing it. See
that the key bears National Lead Com.

mark, which is a positive guarantee OF
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. If not let National

ton. In such instances it has usually
been found either that the animal
had been previously wounded by some
other hunter, or had been clawed by
lion; in either case it's naturally
morose temper having been rendered
yet more dangerous.
No hunter ought to attempt to tackle
a buffalo with rifle of lighter calibre
tnan a ST double express.
Once plentiful all over Southern AT
RIGA wherever water was to be found
the buffalo has now to be sought far
in the interior. There is one singular
exception to this statement Many
years ago the Cape government
passed an act protecting under Sc
the elephant-in Cape colony In the
forest and densely pushed regions
bordering the coast line, some strong
troops of buffaloes are still to be
found between Mossel bay and the
Kowie river A few years ago, dur
ing a great drought, some of these
fine beasts were to be seen drinking
in the river within few miles of the
town of Uitenhage. These animals
can only be shot in Cape colony by
special permit from the governor, and
on payment of the sum Of ten pounds
for each specimen obtained Beyond
Cape colony the sportsman has to
travel nowadays several hundred
miles before he can hope to find buff
falo. Perhaps the best country exist

hunter has no great difficulty in shoot
ing as many as he requires. In fairly
open country, where scattered covert
exists, and where they can be readily
approximation they are by no means
keen-Sighted creatures-a man may,
he begins to think, shoot buffaloes as
easily as he can shoot oxen. But,
directly a buffalo is wounded and his
blood-spoor has to be taken up, and
the hunter has to follow him into the
dense coverts to which he retreats,
the business is entirely changed. Then
you may prepare to lock out for your
self, to take up your heaviest and
most reliable weapon, and to follow
the track of your game with every
sense alert, and your rifle handy for
an instant and most deadly charge.
You will find, too, that the native
spoorer who trotted in front of you
readily enough on the blood spoor of
elephant, and even lion, will now
greatly prefer to follow in your rear,
and leave you to take up your own
person the first and dangerous risk
in the dark and shadowy thickets into
which you are advancing He knows
none better-the dark, evil fury
and the lurking, noiseless ways of the
beast of which you are in search.
The buffalo, so soon as he is wounded,
seems, indeed, to think of little else
than a bloody revenge. Mike most
other game, which, when wounded,
will almost Invariably k~take tnem-
selves in flight as far from the pur-
suer as possible, he usually retreats
some distance into the dcnSest bush,
and then either hides up in some
dark corner, where the shadows are
deep and dense, or, turning upon his
line, takes a parallel path back, and
so waits for his foe; or he will even
follow back upon his own spoor and
conceal himself. Sometimes he will
stand lurking amid the dark thickets;
at another time, if badly wounded,
he will lie down; in eitf er case pre-
pared and determined to inf1ict a
bloody revenge for the hurts under
which he is smarting. Year after
year fatal accidents happen in South
African buffalo hunting, year after
year men, if not killed outright, are
terribly mauled; and, until the buffalo
is completely exterminated, he will

and was determined to finish OF his
task. AS soon as the reeds were
reached, the blood spoor was easily
to be followed. The heavy bullet had
evidently raked the lungs, the bull
was bleeding freely, and large patches
of crimson marked its path. The reeds
were very tall-twelve or fourteen
feet-and thick, and the spooring
seemed so dangerous an operation
that the Hottentot, who was carrying
a second gun-a Martini Henry-fell
behind, leaving his master to take the
first risk with his heavy eight-bore.
At every step-they were wading
knee deep il water-the hunters
stopped to listen. They had not pen
etrated fifty yards through the avenue
of broken reeds. afforded by the pass
age of the bull, when in an instant,
and without warning, the beast was
upon them. The Boer was knocked
fiat upon his back by the charge; the
bull had miscalculated his distance,
had no doubt, charged for the sound,
and had struck his nemy with his
nose, which was held high, as is the
habit of these brutes when charging.
Galloping over the PROSTATE Boer, the
Buffalo went straight for the Hotten-
tot few PAGES behind. This unfor-
tunate the brute struck with his horn
and tossed on one side some yards
into the reeds. Then, continuing it's
career, the bull passed on out of the
''vlei' and took shelter in some thin
bush, where it was afterward found
dead. The Boer, all the wind knocked
out of him, and severely bruised,
picked himself up, retrieved his rifle,
which was flung yards away, and then
sought the Hottentot. The unfortuna ate
servant lay among the reeds and
water, terrible wound gaping just
below his chest, to the Ieft-breathing
his last. He lived only a short time,
and died a pathetic and unwilling OBJ
ject lesson in the risks and dangers
of following a wounded buffalo into
thick covert.
