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.

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. Why don't you try
it, my sick sisters? 1
