127 South Michigan St. SOUTH BEND, IND. The Leaders of Low Prices. A Native Dance in Zululand. Yon can never quite catch the spirit of a Zulu dance by merely hearing it described, any more than you can realize the exhilaration of wine without trying it. The warriors turned out about 300 strong on this occasion, aud the dance took place on a level bit of ground outside the kraal. The whole community was gathered in a black mass, squatting in irregular ranks on the grass to see the dance. Afte r the beeves had all been cut up the warriors retired to their huts. Then very shortly they came straggling out again, hv one. the blood washed t* Pies

^o^andtheir bod^sdecorated , the gewgaws of war. Many wore kilts of Zanzibar cat-tails or the o wolves and foxes, and round then calves and biceps wore ornaments ot beads or of leopard skin. On each warrior s head was a discus of black mimosa gum. polished until it looked like a circlet of jet. With oxhide shields and bright assegais they trooped into the kraal until a’l were assembled. Then, forming into ranks as natural as a company of grenadiers, . . i i ... fho rinnpintf

they marched out on to trie uaucm o ( ground, singing a strange, wierd chant , in accompaniment to the rattle ot assegai on shield and measured tramp of feet. One could see at a glance now that every Zulu is a warrior born. Here they were, the veriest savages to all intent, naked as animals, yet placing soldier with a bearing and precision of movement that European troops, with all their scientific/training, could hardly hope to be^'t. Forward they stepped, then filing o ff into a semicircle, two deep phey stood, proud and erect, the mbst splendid specimens of martial manhood I ever saw, their black eyes glistening with suppressed lire, then/chests heaving, .«n.wlnc twitohinir in nnt ipinnt ion

and muscles lav Living in auuuipuuuu of the signal to bggiu. For a minute they stood th^, every foot in the crescent keeping time and every asxegai softly tapping time against the shield to a low, buzzing melody.— Boston Bulletin.

Leckv, the historian, says geology has conclusively disproved what was once the universal belief concerning the origin of death. That this fearful calamity appeared in the universe on . account of the transgression of man; that everv pang that convulses the ' frame of “any created being, every passion or instinct or necessity that ^.contributes to the infliction of suffeaing^^s but the fruit of the disobedieuie in panH^lLe, was long believed wiLhuPfalterinll ee. and is even
