ZULU WAR TACTICS
Method of Attack With the Crescent
Formation
Zulu military tactics are associated
with the name of Tyaka tbe ruthless
Zulu conqueror who welded luto the
stock of the Amazulu the people of the
heavens all the young men of the va
rious tribes he conquered Incorporat
ing them Into regiments and thus
building up a powerful military na
tion Yet it was to Dingislwayo the
wanderer that the Inception was due
This man the son of the chief of the
Umtctwa was driven into exile in con
sequence of an abortive plot to seize
the reins of power
During that exile ho lived in Cape
Colony and saw the military methods
of the British With Instinctive genius
he saw how the Idea could be adapted
to his own nation and on his return
and accession to the chieftainship he
divided his people into regiments dis
tinguishing them by names and by a
special color of shield for each regi
ment though for a time they retained
the umkomto or throwing assagai as
their chief weapon He heard the
great use made by the British Infantry
of their favorite weapon the bayonet
and so he replaced the umkomto by the
ixwa or broad bladed stabbing assa
gai
The peculiarity of the Zulu tactics
has earned It the name of the crescent
formation for attack and It is note
worthy that broadly speaking it was
the method employed by the Boers in
their invasion of Natal and adopted by
Lord Roberts in his advance through
Orange River Colony and it was the
fear of Its success whicli kept the
Boers continually on the run The best
thing with which to compare it is the
head of the stag headed beetle Horns
are thrown out widely on either flank
while the main body forms the head
itself From the main body a small
force is detached to engage the enemy
while the horns creep around the
flanks
This force in the days of Tyaka was
frequently dispatched with the com
mand Go sons of Zulu go and re
turn no more and death at the hands
of their fellows was the fate of those
who returned While this force was
holding the enemy the horns carried
out their task if possible and as soon
as the two horns had met in the rear
of the enemy the head or chest was
launched upon the position and the
upshot was that the whole force of
the foe tasted the assagai for in war
no quarter was given or asked South

POINTED PARAGRAPHS
Keep away from people you dislike
and dont talk about them
Put a hog in a parlor and he would
break out and wallow in a mudhole
It becomes necessary occasionally for
every man to take punishment When
your time comes dont annoy others
with your screams
Isnt It a fact that the most success
ful men you know are polite men
Then doesnt it follow that if you hope
to succeed you must be polite
When you hear a man abused be
hind his back we do not think How
unpopular other people are but How
we all catch it when we are not
around
Dont worry if you are not good
looking You look all right to your
friends The best looks on earth could
not make you look good to your ene
mies and those who are not Interested
in you dont know how you look
Atchison Globe
Saved by a Cool Head
Sir Andrew Clarke while traveling in
Italy ascended a high tower one even
ing and found at the top another tour
ist an Englishman They chatted pleas
antly for a few minutes when suddenly
the stranger seized Sir Andrew by the
shoulders and said quietly I am go
ing to throw you over The man was
a maniac The physician had only a
moment in which to gather his
thoughts but that moment saved him
Pooh he replied unconcernedly
Anybody can throw a man off the
tower If we were on the ground you
could not throw me up That would be
too difficult Yes I could retorted
the maniac I could easily throw you
up here from the ground Let us go
down and I will do it The descent
was accordingly made during which
Sir Andrew managed to secure help
and release himself from his perilous
situation

Conkling wore a little curl on his fore

something about a little girl with a
little curl right in the middle of her
forehead the New York senator thought
that of course the remark was made
for him and Mr Edison had to apolo

Perils of Fishing
On Grand Banks
on the transatlantic
PASSENGERS vessels which
carry as many persons as live
In a good sized town and which
the latest inventions of marine science
have made as safe as a house on shore
have little Idea what the psalmist
meant when he talked of the perils
of those who go down to the sea in
ships But up along the fishing banks
they know and they arent fond of
the liners there for the liners take
more lives every year than the dreaded
etorms The storms cant help wreck
ing little ships The fishermen do not
believe that the wind bloweth where it
Hsteth they think It blows where it
Is fated to blow But they also
think that no law of nature or man
forces the liner to race at top
speed across the fishing banks cutting
down everything that gets In its way
The fisherman thinks he is entitled to
life liberty and the pursuit of fish and
he curses the speed madness which
causes the steamship to make short
cuts at his expense The liners dont
sink fishermen on purpose of course
They dont even collide with them in
tentionally It Is like a man stepping
unconsciously on a bug and walking on
Ignorant of the catastrophe for which
he is responsible The fragile little
fishing boat goes down before the steel
hulled ocean greyhound without even
causing the monster to quiver
For years the men of the Grand
banks have complained of this to their
minds unnecessary addition to the
dangers of their calling Now the
French government has heard them
and has issued a call for an Interna
tional conference to discuss changing
the present steamship route so as to
avoid the fishing banks Last year
the death roll among the French trawl
ers in Newfoundland waters was 314
Of these it is true that 135 perished
in the wreck of the Cousins Reunis of
St Malo which was carrying men to
St Pierre to equip the fishing boats
there but of the remaining 179

DECK OF A GIiOXJCESTEB FISHING VZSSEIu
ties most were caused by ocean steam
ers running down fishermen as they
lay at anchor or In the fog
To change the steamship line and
make it skirt Instead of cross the banks
would materially lengthen the distance
the steamers would have to travel
The Compagnie Genera1 Transatlan
tique the French line has already
agreed to accept such a change but
It will be difficult to make all the big
lines follow the French companys ex
ample Besides there are thousands
of tramps which come from nowhere
go nowhere
While the discussion of this proposed
change in the ocean highway goes on
the big ships continue to sink the little
ones Only the other day the Red
Star liner Vaderland cut the fishing
schooner John A Allen in two as she
was cruising off Georges banks look
ing for swordfish This time however
the liner did not flee but stood by until
every man on the sunken craft had
been picked up
I shall go back and tell the fisher
folk that I know a liners captain and
crew who are not cowards said Cap
tain Toothaker of the John A Allen
after he and his six men had been
landed in New York
Something blacker than the mist
loomed over us said the captain We
knew what that meant We sprang
to the dory but the black thing came
down upon us dead ahead Its siren
screamed but the crash of my boat
drowned the sound The Vaderland
cut us clean In two On one side went
three of my men The other three and
I caught hold of a dory and just
missed the suction as the John A Allen
sank I could hear three men In the
water near by We made for them and
picked them up All of us were safe
We looked for the big ship but it
was gone like the other liners that
sink fishermen and vanish In the fog
But no It wasnt gone after all The
lookout on the Vaderland had sighted
the schooner too late to avoid running
It down and the steamer was brought
to a dead stop in five minutes
Relinquishing all hope of a record
voyage the Vaderland circled back
through the fog blowing its siren until
it heard the answering call of the
wrecked fishermen Cheered by the
passengers Captain Toothaker and his
crew were hauled on board and over
whelmed with kindness all the way
to New York
A TROPICAL TERROR
Moat Dreaded of Livlmg Thins la
Equatorial Africa
Europeans who visit the great equa
torial forests of Africa are subject to
many risks but none perhaps so dan
gerous as contact with the bashikouuy
or great bull ant which is said to be
the most dreaded of living things to bo
found in that region It is gluttonous
in the extreme That which It attacks
it consumes on the spot nothing is
carried away for further convenience
Elephants leopards gazelles lions
snakes gorillas monkeys even tho
human aborigines of the districts it
infests fly from any neighborhood In
which they know it to be located Ac
cording to well accredited reports
these awe inspiring bull ants travel
like locusts in vast armies marching
in a line two inches or more broad and
miles In length One of these armies
has been known to take twelve hours
to pass a given point These ants pre
fer the shade and rather than be ex
posed to the rays of the blazing sun
will burrow tunnels under the surface
of the ground and thus travel until
they come to the shelter of trees Any
animal which unaware of the proxim
ity of the bull ant and reposing in
the solitude of the velt happens to be
attacked has no chance of escape It
is devoured with Irresistible fury and
within a few minutes a pile of bleached
bones marks the spot where it reposed
A great deal of valuable information
about this dreaded creature has been
published by a French zoologist M do
Chailler who has described a personal
encounter with the bull ant I re
member well the first time I met the
bashikouays on a raid I knew not
what was in store for me I was hunt
ing by myself when suddenly the for
est became alive with the foe A sud
den dread seized me and I stood still
in the hunting path resting on my gun
Suddenly as if by magic I was cov
ered and bitten everywhere I fled In
haste and found refuge In a deep
stream yet even then the strong pinch
ers of the ants would not give way
and though the bodies were torn off tho
heads remained Tbe native tribes
when a man is condemned for witch
craft generally fasten him to a tree
before an inroad of these ants After
they have passed a shining skeleton
alone is left to tell the tale
THE SCENT OF SICKNESS
Host Diseases It Is Claimed Have
Their Characteristic Odors
The acuteness of the sense of smell
is far greater in many of the lower ani
malsdogs for example than in man
and they employ It in guiding them to
their food in warning them of ap
proaching danger and for other pur
poses The sphere of the susceptibility
to various odors is more uniform and
extended in man and the sense of
smell Is capable of great cultivation
Like the other special senses It may
be cultivated by attention and prac
tice Experts can discriminate quali
ties of wines liquors drugs etc Dis
eases have their characteristic odors
Persons who have visited many dif
ferent asylums for the insane recog
nize the same familiar odor of the in
sane It is not insane asylums alone
but prisons jails workhouses armies
In camp churches schools and nearly
every household that have characteris
tic odors It Is when the Insane the
prisoners and the soldiers are aggre
gated in large groups or battalions
that their characteristic odor is recog
nized Most diseases have their char
acteristic odors and by the exercise of
the sense of smell they could be util
ized in different diagnoses
For example favus has a mousy
odor rheumatism has a copious sour
smelling acid sweat A person af
flicted with pyaemia has a sweet nau
seating breath The rank unbearable
odor of pus from the middle ear tells
the tale of the decay of osseous tissue
In scurvy the odor is putrid in chron
ic peritonitis musky in scrofula like
stale beer In intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread in fever am
moniacal in hysteria like violets or
pineapple Measles diphtheria typhoid
fever epilepsy phthisis etc have
characteristic odors Philadelphia Rec

Fair Warning
An old time English barrister was
John Williams a sarcastic wit and a
bachelor with an intense prejudice
against marriage His clerk one day
asked him for a holiday to get mar
ried and some months afterward on
entering his chambers Williams found
his dead body suspended from the
door He engaged another clerk and
asked him if he was married No
the clerk replied but thinking that Wil
liams would regard marriage as a
guarantee of steadiness he added but
I am going to be Very well re
plied Williams but understand this
