Polygamy Among Natives Prejudices Between English and Boe,rs Cattle Raising Police Courts, Etc. It appears form the Iiulawnyo Chronicle, n South African paper of the date of September 13, that the people of thnt country hnve nbout the same troubles In many instances as do the peoplo of this country, except that they have some trouble that wo do not. They have their prejudices between the Uoers and English, which we do not have. Their natives also still remain a problem while wo have about settled with ours but they have the blcyclo scorchers there, and the dally police court grind, not exactly such cases as we have, but they are of a petty nature. They nlso discuss stockralsing and have cattle inspectors and men are arrested and fined for driving Infect ed stock through the country and the government has dipping places for in fected stock. A few extracts from the paper gives nn interesting Insight into some of the phases of South African life. x . Local Prejudice. It appears' that the editor of the paper, who is doubtless an English man, has not yet laid aside his preju dice against the Uoers. .Here Is his omment, among others; "Boer Impudence. "The proposals of the Boer ex-gen erals cannot be read without exciting one's risibility. That men should take up the position of simply dictat ing terms to their conquerers seems hardly probable, but that Is what lias happened. For unmitigated cneeK, commend us to the Boer leaders. Leyds has not finished yet." Polygamy Among Natives. Then the subject of dealing with the natives is taken up and he dis cusses it from many points of view. Polygamy appears to be under the bane there and there is a strong under current in favor of taxing the natives according to the number of wives they have. The editor thinks the native will not be elevated rapidly if ho is permitted to live all of his days from the work of his wives. He thinks taxation Is the way to suppress this evil. This is what he says: "We should like to ask Sir Marshall Clarke what he intends to do with the native. Is he to lie Idle nil his days and live on the labour of his wives, and, if so, how is he going to be ele vated? The insinuation about forced labour Is childish nonsense. The nn tlve Is ten times better off in Rhodesia than the navvy or agricultural la bourer at Home. Sir Marshall Clarke should know better, and, as a set-off to his marvelous report, the tax In the Transvaal has been considerably in creased. A policy which has been ad vocated in these columns for years past, that a native should be made to pay for extra wives, has been adopted by Lord Milner. The now law has not gone as far as we could have wished and as we have advocated, but It is a step in the right direction Polygamy Is the secret of the whole matter, and yet we have t.e dear old ladles at home. Including the Specta tor, advocating Its retention. The Bicycle Scorcher. The bicyclist has also reached that far-away country and the scorcher is a menace to the peace and comfort of the pedestrian there as well as In other countries. The editor has this to say about that ubiquitous evil: "Pedestrians nave some right to existence, but the average cyclist does not seem to realize this. Since these free wheels came Into vogue ono finds a cyclist flash past the poor footslogger without any notice. No bell is rung, and If he bo of a nerv ous disposition, it might do him harm. This racing Is especially dangerous with young and restive horses, but the scorcher takes no notice so long as he can keep his foot on the pedal and surmount the opposite rise. We are surprised that there are not more accidents." In Police Court. The police court grind lime is by no means lacking In interest They have about the same troubles as they do here, but the offenses and the trial courts are called by different names from those in thla country, but the proceedings are similar. IIcf is his write-up of one morning's proceed ings: "From Infected Area. "A native nnmcd Kleinbooi appear ed chargo with contravening the Ani mals Diseases Ordinance, by moving two head of cattle from Bulawayo to Helenvale. "Serg. Williams of the BSAP'stated that accused was coming on to tho Commonage from Helenvale with a span of donkeys and two oxen. Ac cused showed two of the passes pro duced, signed by a cattle inspector. "After some further evidence, ac cused was found guilty, His Worship remarking that he would take into consideration accused's ignorance and Imposo a nominal penalty, but tho tlmo for nominal penalties for this offenso was passing away. Sentence, 10s or three days." "Raid by the Police. "Ernest Thulller appeared charged with contravening section 15, act 27 of 1882, by refusing to admit the police to ccrtnln premises, or delaying to ad mit them. After a long delay the po lice were finally allowed to search the nremlses on which they found lb Dot- tics of hecr. Accused kept a fruit store and sold also mineral waters nnd sweets, the premises not being li censed to sell liquor. "Accused was found guilty or tne offense of which he was charged, and was ordered to pay a fine of 6 or undergo one month's imprisonment. The fine was paid. "Thefts by Chlnde Natives. "In the Magistrate's court on Wed nesday three Chindo natives named Zuzi, Gonda and "Tabu appeared charged In a preliminary examination with house breaking and theft, by hnving stolen 24 bottles of liquor. "After evidence had been led, ac cused were committed for trial. "Oonda was also charged In a pre liminary examination with dangerous ly assaulting Sergeant Ilaxzon, a na tive policeman, the location superin tendent and ono ot the location po lice. Accused, it appears, on being ar rested, drew a knife and cut and slashed at the custodians of order. "He was committed for trial on this chargo also. "Possession of Arms. "Richard Wilkinson, n Capo boy, came up to be examined on a charge of being In Illegal possesion of arms, by having a Martini-Henry carbine, ball ammunition and a quantity of shot. "After evidence had been taken, ac cused was committed for trial, His Worship remarking the offense was a technical one, and accused was re leased on finding G ball and G in personal recognizances." Cattle Raising. A writer enters into a learned dis cussion of the cattle question. Among other things, he says: "Cattle are raised chiefly for two purposes. In Rhodesia they are re quired for three. These two purposes are for milk and for beef, but In Rho desia there must be added transport. It must be noted, however, that, though tho term cattle Includes all tho three uses to which they are put, a distinction must be drawn between classes of cattle that are suitable for each purpose. "When milk Is an object, a special class of cattle are raised nnd selected for producing milk. "The same applies for cattle for pro duclng beef. The qualities to lay on fat and beef are selected more than for milk. "For transport purposes again, neither of the foregoing qualities are specialized, bone, muscle, good lungs and large size being most valued. "There Is a considerable difference in the outward appearance between animals bred for either of these pur poses. The more an animal is spet cialized in the breeding to fulfill one purpose, the less It Is fitted to take tho place of another. A good milking breed, such as the Ayrshire is much behind as animals for the butcher. Then, the most highiy specialised animals for beef, the shorthorns, De- vons and Polls are not good milkers. Then again, transport oxen make very different beef, as Is well known in Rhodesia, but, at the same time, it must he said that an ox bred and reared for butcher meat would make a very poor show in a team at the end of a long journey with a heavy ox wagon behind him. Cattle Diseases Dipping. It appears that cattle mere are subject to a disease known as "Red water," and that dipping is resorted to. Tho government apparently owns these dipping places. He says: "Upwards of 2,000 cattle have now been dipped at the government Inoc illation Station, Bellevue, and the pro cess is still being continued. There has been no serious accident to any of the animals, and, so far as can be ascertained at present, none of the cattle have contracted redwater since they were operated on." "Deaths After Dipping. "Mr. Judge's herd came in yester day from the farm at Toabas Induna with the news that ten head of cattle had died and others woro sick. The cattle were dipped only a fortnight ago." His Life In Peril. "1 just seemed to have gone all to pieces," writes Alfred Eee, of Wei fare, Toxas, "biliousness and a lame back h ad made life a burden. I couldn't eat or sleep and felt almost too worn out to work when I began to use Electric Bitters, but they worked wonders. Now I sleep like a top, can eat anything, have gained in strength and enjoy hard work." They give vigorous health and new life to weak, sickly, run-down people. Try them.

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago," speaks to 7oung women about dangers of the MenstrualPeriod how to avoid pain and suffering " and remove the cause by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound "To Youxa Women;: I suffered for six years with dysmenor rhea (painful periods), so much so that I drended every month, iw I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. ' Tho doctor said this was due to nn inflamed condition of the uterine nppondages caused by repented and neglected colds. " If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would bo spared thorn. Thank God for L-ydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound, thnt was the only medicine which helped mo any. Within threo weeks nftcr I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at tho time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like nnother person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes aro brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and 1 feci light and happy." Miss Aones Mili.eu, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, 111. Tho monthly sickness reflects tho condition of a woman's health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt nnd proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove that Lydln 1Z. IMnkham's Vegetable Compound regulates men struation and makes thoso periods painless. READ WHAT 3IISS IDTDIJEOK SAYS: "Deati Miss. Pinkham: Lydln E. Pink lmni's Vegetable Compound has grently bene fitted me. 1 will tell you how I Buffered. Jly trouble was painful menstruation. I felt as each month went by that I was getting worse. I.had severe bearing-down pains m my back and abdo men. "A friend advised me to tiy Mrs. Pinkham'e medicine I did so and am now free from all pain during my jwriods." Jessie C. Lindbeck, 1201 0th Street, Kockford, 111. FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN. Remember, every -woman is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about her symptoms she does not understand. Mrs. I'inkhnm's address is Lynn, Mass., her ndvico is free and cheerfully given to every ail ing woman who asks for it. Her advice lias restored to health more than one hundred thousand women.
