SOURCE OF ZULU JAvELIN
Many African Tribes Have Attained
Enough Skill In Smelling Metals
to Make the Assagais.

The railing charge about idols for
the heathen being manufactured in
Birmingham, England, has become an
article of common faith, yet on the
most scanty evidence. In the earlier
years Of the last century the same
charge was laid at the Puritan doors
of New England, for it was common
ly said of ships sailing out Of Salem
and Boston for the coast of Africa
that they were freighted with mis-
sionaries and hymn books in the cud-
dy, brass idols and New England rum
under matches in the 'tweendecks.
There Is no reason to suspect a for
eign source for the Zulu javelins.
Many of the African tribes have at
tanned to the art of smelling several
Of the metals; the Amazulu, race Of
no inconsiderable culture, have prog
ressed SO far in the iron age that they
have invented the softer grades Of
steel. The steel tips Of these weapons
are not considered initiative of the
leaf but of the obsidian tips which are
frequently used by warriors Of the
same age. The name Is preferably
ity with the etymology. 1t is an Afri-
can name, but not Zulu nor Of any
language in South Africa. It was
introduced by the Portuguese discov-
erers, who had already borrowed it
from the Berbers of Morocco or more
likely from the Moors during their
domination of the Iberian peninsula.
In the Berber 1t is al-zaghayah or
without the article Zaghayah and
means spear. In the chivalric period
1t existed in English in the composite
lancegay or launce-de-gay.

PLAYERS of Cards,

II q tailor be the ninth part of q
man, 1t muct be a consolation to the
card-player to be at least fourth. If,
indeed, he be dummy" he need not
be tailor's dummy. The whole range
of human emotions is his. The tri-
umphant holder of four trumps, the
massacred and innocent victim of a
grand SIAM" the irritable and irrec-
oncilable wilmer whose trick has been
doubly won by sleepy partner, are
subjects for caricaturist and tragedian
alike. For in game of cards one has
the mirror and measure of a man. A
Hogarth might sharpen his pencil or
Lamb write a whole series of essays
upon the card-player. The benevolent
old gentleman, with gold-rimmed spec
tacles; the studious old maid whose
mind carries the procession of cards
like human kaleidoscope; the dream
er who Is thinking Of some suit more
romantic than the four cardinal points
of the card-player's compass; the
hopeless and abject beginner-al
move In the pasteboard circle. They
are not invariably models Of propriety,
of restraint and temper, but always
they are artists models.-R. R. Buck
ley in the London T. P.'s Weekly.

WANT BARGAINS In PEWS
Thrifty church-Goers Who Seek Cut
Rates Sometimes VIII Overlook
All Other Conslde rations.

Ministers have SO many things to
worry about that it is pretty hard to
add the bargain-hunting habits Of
their parishioners to their other cares,
but some of them are doomed to shoul-
der that extra burden. Old members
of the congregation are not likely to
20 out hunting cut-rate pews in other
churches, but newcomers who are just
deciding upon a church home all do 1t.
"a reduction of two dollars a year
in pew rent will fetch the bargain
hunter every time,' said a sexton.
only last week q young woman who
expects to make her home In this city
concluded that OF all city churches of
this denomination she liked ours best
and would take a pew here, but when
she found she could get pew that
suited her about as we'll IN another
church for three dollars a year less
she let all other considerations go by
the board and identified herself with
that church. The cut-rate pew hunter
is recognised feature Of modern
church life. Because new member
elects to join our congregation does
not at all signify that he shares our
religious convictions or likes the pas
tor and our service; 1t may mean that
we charge less for the pew he likes
than another church up street"

A Gladstone Story,

Mr.. e. F. Benson, in an article on
the winter charms of Grindelwald In
Travel and Exploration" related an
anecdote Of Mr.. Gladstone. It seems
that at country house one morning
the guests were discussing at break
fast the right way of packing a
sponge-bag, when the sponge has been
used and is consequently water
logged. Mr.. Gladstone, who had ap-
parently been solely absorbed by his
mornings correspondence, suddenly
closed the discussion by informing the
party that they were all wrong. THE
only proper method is to wrap it up
In your bath-towel, and stamp upon
it. Then put 1t In your sponge-bag.
You will find it perfectly dry"

Reciprocity Troubles

Reports from Washington vary as tc
the probability of the success of the
reciprocity negotiations with Canada,
| Out 1t would appear that there is very
little hope of any wide measure oil
reciprocity being agreed upon. The
success of the Democrats at the recent
election, and their promise of a Tariff
Tor reyenve only, encourages a good
many of our friends in Canada to be-
leve that they will accomplish more
by waiting for the Democrats to come
into control of the Government.
The great obstacle to reciprocity is
the refusal of Canada to make conces-
slons on manufactured products. AS
Premier Laurier has repeatedly de-
clared, Canada wants reciprocity con-
fined to natural products, and there
can be no such thing as reciprocity
under such restrictions.
Canada could sell its agricultural
products in the United States, but the
natural products of this country could
not be sold in Canada. Hence manu-
factured products must be included to
accomplish anything like reciprocity.
Manufacturers of Canada are strong
ly opposed to any reciprocity which
would involve their products, and the
farmers of the United States, partic-
ularly along the border, are making it
clear that they will not accept willingly
any reciprocity with Canada on agri-
cultural products. In this situation
there is little prospects of any success
full negotiations. But such failure will
not involve any loss to the United
States. Economist.

The Woman Gtilty, Too.

Marshfeld, Mo, Jan. 24.-After be-
ing out seventeen hours the jury in the
case of Walter A. Dipley and Goldie
Smith, charged with the murder of
Stanley Ketchel, the pugilist, returned
verdict this forenoon finding both
defendants guilty of murder in the first
degree and assessing their punishment
at life imprisonment,
Dipley and Mrs. Smith were in the
court room when the verdict was read
by the clerk and accepted the result
without show of feeling.
Only one ballot was taken by the
jury. After supper last night they
spent two hours going over the courts
Instructions and were ordered to bed
at 9:35 O'Clock. This morning the
instructions were further discussed,
and when the ballot was taken all were
unanimously for life imprisonment for
both defendants. Five are said to
have been in favor of the death penalty
in Dipley's case, but compromised on
life sentence.
The conviction of Goldie Smith
came as surprise as it had been pre-
dicted that she would be acquitted.
Counsel for the defense announced an
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court. It will be alleged that the jury
was prejudiced against the defendants
in bringing the verdict.
Stanley Ketchel, champion middle
weight pugilist, was shot with a ID
caliber rifle by Walter Dipley, an en-
ployee at the ranch of R. P. Dicker-
son, rich stockman in Webster
County, Mo-, October IS, 1910. He
died few hours later. Dipley fed
after shooting the pugilist, but was
caught next day. He said he shot
Ketchel because he feared for his own
life. The pugilist was shot in the
back. Dipley also said that Ketchel
had made improper advances to Goldie
Smith, Dipley's common law wife, who
was cook at the ranch at the time.
Goldie Smith was not accused of
actual participation in the killing of
Ketchel, but she was present. and it
was charged that she and Dipley con-
spired against the pugilist's life.
There were no witnesses except Dipley
and she, so the evidence on which
hey were convicted was circumstantial
Ketchel attracted attention in the
ougilistic world in 1907. He became
middle weight champion after fights
with Joe Thomas and "Bill'' Papke.

NAVAL TIP FOR SEAGOERS
Lemon and Ginger Should Be Given
to Those Not Sure of Themselves
on Shipboard.

A surgeon on the naval hospital
ship Solace has remedy for seasick-
ness which should be of interest to
folks who are going on winter cruises
and are apprehensive that they may
have to stay below deck most Of the
time
1t is simply a decoction Of lemon
and ginger, and may be taken in the
form Of lemon soda and ginger ale, or
a dash Of seltzer may be added to a
little lemon juice and Jamaica ginger.
The Doctors idea is that the lemon
causes a greater secretion of the gas
trio juices and that the ginger serves
as a stimulant, the need of which can
be best appreciated by the victim.
The remedy has been used on the
Solace with various degrees of sue
cess, and 1t is not pretended that 1t
will prove effective for everybody. It
should be taken in small doses as soon
as trouble seems to be approaching,
although 1t may be OF some use at q
well-advanced stage.
Uninviting as the beverage may
seem, 1t can be made after a little
experimenting so that 1t Is very
agreeable. The lemon juice and gin
ger is not as palatable as the soda,
but has been found to give better re-
suits. Usually 1t Is best to make it
with more ginger than lemon and with
just enough carbonic water to make
1t drinkable.
