Three Nativo Bace3 That la habit the Country orivuiirs iiicae lmt Arc Much Above the 3 oveI of the Others in Many Respects Vilien the Dutch ftvc d their first post at Cape Town in 1052 with no thought either of colonization or of conquest but for the sake of having- gardens which could supply resh vegetables to the scurvy-stricken crews of their s 3 sailing ro the east they found ihrcc native races inhabiting the country One of these the Ilushmen though few in numbers were widely scattered over the whole of South -Africa They were nomads of al most the lowest kind with a marvelous faculty for tracking and trapping wild animals but neither owning cattle nor tilling the soil with scarcely even a tribal organization no religion and a language consisting of a succession of clicks Unable to accustom themselves to civilized life driven out of some dis tricts by the settlers and in others jo longer able to find support owing to the extinction of game they are now almost extiuet though a few are still left in the deserts of the Kalahari and northern- Bechuanaland Before many years the onry trace of their existence will be in the remarkable drawings of animals with which ihvy delighgted io cover the smooth surfaces of rocks These drawings which are found all the -way from the Zambesi to the Cape and from Maniacland to the Atlantic are executed in red and yellow pig ments and are often full of spirit and character The second race was that which the Butch called Hottentot They -were of a reddish or yellowish black hue taller than the Bushmen but with squat and seldom muscular figures a thoughtless cheerful easy going people who rove hither and thither with their flocks and herds as they could find pasture TJiey vvere decidedly superior to the Bushmen whom they hated but quite unable to withstand Europeans and their num bers rapidly declined partly from the loss of their best grazing grounds hut largely also through epidemic diseases and especially smallpox which ships touching on their way from India brought into the country They are now as a distinct race almost extinct in the colony though a good deal of their blood has passed into the mixed black population of Cape Town and ir s neighborhood a population the other elements of which are Malays and west- coast negroes the descendants of slaves imported in the lastcentury Farther north on the south side of the Orange river and beyond it in Xamagualand small tribes cognate to the Hottentots still wander over the dreary plains Very different from these weak Bush men and Hottentots was and is the third native race those who are called Bantu a word aneaning people by themselves find Kafirs by Europeans The word Kafir is Arabic and means an miidel literally one who denies It is applied by Mussulmans not merely Io these South Africans but to other heathen as for instance by the Afghans to the idolaters of Kafiristan in the Hindu Kush mountains The Portuguese probably took the name from the Arabs whom they found al ready settled on the east coast These Bantu tribes if we may class those as Bant ns who speak languages of what is called the Bantu typefill all East Afi iv a Ivom the region of the Upper Nile southward Those who dwell south of the Zambesi are generally strong and well made men sometimes as black as a gulf of Guinea negro sometimes verging on a brown tint and though they have the woolly hair and thick lips generally characteristic of the negro individuals are often found among them whoeeast cf features suggests an admixture of Semitic blood They are more prolific than the Ilol ten tots as well as physical ly stronger and better made and they were further advanced in the arts of life Some of the tribes dug out and worked iron and copper all of them used iron Their chief wealth lay pi their cattle horses they did hot possess mit where the land was fit for tillage they cultivated it They had no re ligion except in a sort of magic and that worship of the ghosts of ancestors which seems to be the most widely diffused of all human superstitions Instead of a priesthood there were wizards or medicine men often power ful as the -denouncers of those whom the chief wished to put to death In tellectually they were very much upon the level of the native races of West Africa James Bryce M P in Century TIFLIS AT EASTER A Beautiful and Effective Service la the BussiAn Church The ritual of the Kussian church to gether with the -architecture and -decoration of the churches lends not a lit tle to the impressiveness of such scenes and the old Byzantine cathedral of Tifiis formed as picturesque a back ground to the religious ceremony as could well be imagined On account of the crowd that thrdngs the midnight service that ushers in the great national holiday of Russia it is necessary to take ones stand for there are no seats at an early hour and 1 had already Wn in the cathedral nearly three hours when the ceremony commenced There is no necessity here to enter into any of the details of the ritual of this beau tiful service of the orthodox church for at this spot T am dealing with it solely as an effect -a most telling rem iniscence of a visit to Tifiis The service commences in the dull gloom for with the exception of a few lights upon and in the vicinity of the altar the clnrrch is unlit- But- this gloom tends to heighten the eCecfc of the group of richly robed and mitred prienvs ihzx thrc cg the steps chanting ir turn with the choir of unaccom lianied boys and voice the music of the service In contrast to thegroup about She altar ste 3 vas tU CI ivjr co the fiiuiv cloud c r u mr iViearKi tilt- dusk of the blikliug At length as midnight approached the priests and choir filed down the church and left the building by the main entrance one or two aione re maining within Then as a- rocket without gave the sign of midnight a loud knocking commenced at the deer which was repeated several times On the gate being opened the priests and choir hurried in crying out- again and again Christ is risen Christ is risen Each bore in his hand a lighted taper from which the nearer members of the crowd lit their own passing the flame from candle to condle for every one in the building bore a taper It took but a minute to change the -entire scene and as the priests made their way to the altar swinging their jcensers as they went the gloom of the church disappeared and the building was lit by thousands upon thousands of candles where before the dusk had prevented one seeing either the church or the crowd every picture and detail of the decoration of the building and every figure in it became distinct The seething mass of humanity took form and shape and where before one recog nized only dark figures in an incense laden twilight one recognized now the officers of the government in uniforms bespangled with orders accompanied by their wives and daughters Nation al Beview llg Early Training So you are the India rubber
