Natives Furnish Problem.

For years the question of town loca
tions for natives has been discussed in
Natal and the Transvaal. but up to the
present no really feasible scheme has
been formulated.
The natives of these provinces, unlike
those of the cape proper. have never
taken kindly to communal form OF
life. They prefer to live in family
groups, at the head of which stands
the kraal induna, upon whom descend
ed in a perfectly we'll organized. hered-
house" The whole of the kraa1 prop
erty, as distinguished from purely per-
sonal belongings of a more or less
movable character, is vested In MN,
and government itself in the main
deals with the individual members of
the kraal through him.
This system is of immemorial usage.
and although the influences of clviliza-
tion have in many cases led TO a
greater spirit of independence among
the natives the system has been ef-
fectual in preventing the establishment
OF native townships in the vicinity of
industrial centers where the workers
could bring their wives and families
and settle down as permanent members
of the community.
They have preferred to leave their
people in the care of their own rela-
tives and travel perhaps hundreds OIL
miles to find work, and then at the END
Of six or nine months return with the
proceeds of their industry to their
homes. where they remain in inglorious

GET INCREASE
Thirty Thousand Rural Letter
Carriers Are to Receive
$1,100 a Year.

Thirty thousand rural letter car
riers on standard routes have had their
salaries increased from $1,000 to $1,100
year. effective from September 80. as
the result of the increased appropria-
ton provided by the post Office appro-
priation bill, which also provides pro-
portionate increases to carriers on the
shorter routes. This is the second
salary advance for rural carriers made
in the last four years. and means an
increased disbursement of 100000 a
year.
At the close of the last fiscal year
June 80. there were 42,O31 rural mail
carriers, the aggregate pay being $40,-
655.740. When the rural delivery sys-
tenn was instituted sixteen years age
eighty-three carriers were employed
at an annual cost of $14,840. the maxi

MANY OLD TRADITIONS
D|SRECARDED BY POPE
Bids Ordinary Folks Sit in His
Presence and Eats With
Simple CIerics.
,reign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
ROME. August 81, 1912
In entering on the tenth year Of his
pontifcate, Pope Piux X has, it is said,
falsified the amiable predictions Of the
superstitious. who had declared his reign
would not exceed nine years. The hope
will be general that his holiness may oc-
cupy the chair Of ST. Peter for many
more years yet. Nor is this the only
tradition or superstition for which Plus
Y has shown a healthy disregard. When
he first went to the Vatican it was said
that his indifference to etiquette was a
source of the gravest misgivings to his
encourage.
Scarcely elected, he drew back his foot
when the cardinals trooped up to pay
homage. Later he waved away the bear
ers of the papal sedan chair, saying it
pleased him better to walk. Similarly
he betrayed a distaste for the regal hon
ors paid by the Swiss guard. He en-
ploys the human singular, instead Of the
official plural number in addressing his
visitors. He even bids ordinary people
sit in his presence during an audience,
a privilege formerly permitted only to
cardinals and sovereigns. He converses
with friends through the telephone. and.
to crown his enormities. he invites SIM
pie clerics to eat at his table.
This last was a revolutionary step in
deed, for formerly il had been the rule
since the seventeenth century for the
pontiff to eat alone. The story goes that
on being respectfully demonstrated with
for his departure from tradition the Pope
replied that as Urban VIII had the right
to make the rule. he Plus x had an
equal right to abolish it.
The Pope's meals differ little from
those that were served to the parish
priest OF Salzano, consisting of the sim
.plest and homeliest fare. Whereby hangs
another tale. Surely his holiness is
said to have declared, 'it is not neces-
sary to- have seven cooks in order TO
make ME q little SOUP"

BERLIN. August Il. 1872
A pretty little narrative of how tho
King of Bulgaria, who was recently stay

rendered to a little boy the incognito
which he had jealousy preserved before
every one else has just come TO public
knowledge.
The king had arrived at the hotel under
the name OF Count Won Murany.' Al
though he was recognized by the hotel
officials and many OF the guests. no ono
dared to show the fact openly. In the
hotel. however. were woman and her
seven-year-old son, the latter an active
collector of autographs.
Hearing the stories in the hotel about
the identity OF the new guest and unde-

SWELL" replied the count" I'VE must
see what can be DONE" and, taking the
book away with him, the king sent it
back few minutes later by the hand Of
an eauerry with his royal signature writ

On the morning OF the kings departure

A very interesting custom has just been

Several huge cranes for salvage work

before any of the 500 Arab workmen
could be induced to start operations the
Moslem priests were summoned. Then
began the celebration OF an elaborate rite,
during which a large number of young
