the country between the Orange. Yaal,
and Limpopo rivers, leaving- a nieht
Tiare of desolation and death behind
them, and settled in the region now
known as Matabeicland. The country
throuph which this devastating army
marched was, says Theale, 'covered
ilh skeletons and there was literally
no livinp beiiip left behind."
I'roui that time until the present.
ays the Chieapo Times, the Matab. les
have lived in the country from which
thy are now beinp ousted, not by
their own toiL but by preyinp upon
the timid tribes which cripir.aily in
habited the land, and which have ever
since leen compelled, under penalty
of torture and death for the least delay
or unwillingness, lo support their
ferocious taskmasters by periodical
tributes of slaves women, cattle, and
corn. That sixty years has been for
the Mashonas and Jlakalakas a reira
of terror.
As illustratinp the general prac
tice of the Matabeles for many
years past, P.ev. Father Hartinan, than
whom, ow mp to his lonp residence in
the country, few are more competent
to speak, testifies that it is the custom
of an iaipi to approach unnoticed and
unsee n a Mashona kraal in the nipht.
At the first dawn of the day the impi
raises its war cry, surrounds the un
fortunate kraal, and tlauphters all ex
cept pirls. children or those w ho are
fit for doinp some useful work on the
Lome journey.
SunctTines it happens that the Mata
leles drive a crowd of Mashonas into
ono of their hu's and set fire to it.
This Father Ifartman states, has been
poinp on for forty years and will not
stop till the llashoaas are extermi
nated. Lobengula himself, with Lis
own hands cut off the lips nose, ears
and hands of a poor Mashona boy who
was falsely accused of tasting the
Linp's beer.
Even since the occupation cf the
country by the whites similar raids
have been of frequent occurrence. In
tlie e arly part of last year, for instance,
some fupitive Makalakas came into
Victoria askinp for protection against
a 1 irpe Matalnrles impi which was
raiding and kiilirpat Child's and other
kraals across the Tuli road. In May,

How the lsr" S.

;.f our own sight that it is hard t re
alize that to other creatures far ont
r.uniberinp ns and, perhaps, quite as
important in the economy of nature,
it must loe-k quite difTcrcct. The
honey bee, for example, is supplied
with a pair of compound eyes with
hundred! of facets each capable of
sight by itself, and several oceelli or
little, simple eyes more closely allied
to our own. How these eyes are twd,
what are their separate functions,
what sort of images they can present
to their owners, ail remain questions
as interesting and well-niph unsolved
as they were before the days of our
pe.werful mie-ro.cpe-s Notwithstand
ing" the fact that hundreds of en
tomolopists Ln ve been and are inter
ested in this subject, we yet are only
at the stage where we can aSIrmthat
the honey bee sees a very different
Cower from the one in which we ob
serve her in search for sweets, al
thouph of what that difference in and
how it is produced we can form but
little idea.

IMPLICATIONS OF MEASLES.
The Kt 6rione of TTale fMldLood
Perhaps no other disease of childhood
Is popularly regarded with ao much in
difference as measles; yet it ia this dis
ease above all others which, a: nong del
icate children, is ant to leave a condi
tion favorable to the derelopmeat of
other troubles. It is therefore weU, if
a child has any constitutional weak
ri'. or special fitnily tendency to dis
ease, to nviho effort to prevent hira
Irenn petting" the lueasless
It is cxtrenieiy common for physi
cians to meet w ith children who have
had the measles and hive never
seemed well ainee." The frequency
v ith which whooping-cough follow
Measles is well known. 1 Si eocph is
apt to be unusually severe ia such
Cases
Inflammation of the eye is a common
complication. The nose, throat and
ear often suffer. These troubles are
not csnally so severe as in cases of
scarlet fever, but they demand careful
attention, as they point not only to lo
cal disorders calling for treatment, but
also to a depenerate state of the gen
eral heaitK
It is not unusual for bronchitis pneu
monia, laryngitis or diarrhoea to follow
or complicate an attack of measles, and
it hi the children w ho have weakness in
these directions that are to be specially
guarded from an attack of measles One
of the most unfortunate cases for which
the physician is cillei upon to pre
scribe Ls that in which a condition of
weakness following an attack of meas
les has given rise to chronic, if not fa
tal, diseases of the lungs
A well-known writer upon the dis
eases of infancy has recently drawn at
tention to the extreme frequency with
which, on meeting with cases of con
sumption in children, he has traced the
beginning of th ; di.-oasa to an attack
of measles Indeed, tho possibility of
the occurrence of just such a sequence
has for a long time been a matter of
note among close observers
No one now supposes that one dls
exe gives rise to the other. We know
that measles simply has a degenerative
intlncnce sijioii the system, which when
called upon to combat disease perms
that are always more or less plentiful,
lin.'.s more elifjiculty in resisting their
attacks.
After an attack of measles then, a
child should receive more than usual
attention. A change of residence is
beneficial, and tonics are often to be
recommended. This applies to children
who have previously been in good
health; children of delicate constitu
tion should bo p'j .:- .. ! from exposure
to measles Youth s Companion.

UNIQUE AMONG LEGISLATURES.
The Wearing of I!t In the EucHh flonae
of C nmmocia.
The fin-t thing that strikes the visit
or to tiie hqusc of commons is that
h.-re also it is exceptional among the
legislatures of the world the house cf
commons permits its uie miners to retain
their hats during the sitting. Indeed.
It is the rule to wear and the exception
not to wear the hat Mr. Gladstone
never wears his hat, nor did Mr. Smith,
the late respected leader in the house
e f coiumocs on the conservative side:
r.ord d Disraeli, nor does Mr. Balfour,
nor sir Charles IiusseiL A memlier,
however, can keep his hat on only
w hen he is in his seat. If he rises to
speak, he of conrse takes off his hat: if
he rlse-s to leave his seat and go out of
the house, he lus to take off his hat:
so long as he remains standing in any
part of the house, he has to keep off
his hat. There are some of the older
members who, oven when they lean
over their seats to converse with a
member on the bench in front of them,
take off their hats An I it is usual,
too, when a member interjects an ob
servation across the floor to take it off.
It was a'so t'ue invariable custom when
a member was referrel to that he
should raise Lis hat, but this rule is
falling into desuetude. Thomas Power
O'Connor, in Harper's Mag-nine.
INDUCING INDIANS TO MARRY.
Tbe Indian CAmnitMloner Scheme for
IVrpetoatin; the ludiaa Kare.
The commissioner of Indian aCairs,
Mr r.rowning, is determined to prove
to the Indians that marriage is not a
fuiliTre. He rias discovered that most
of the red men under the bureau at the
present, time have been induced to
believe that it is not the proper thing
to pet married, and for this reason, in
the mind of the commissioner, the
numbers of the red men are decrcasinp
fast It is not certain but thai the
commissioner, in the interest of pre
serving his bureau, was forced to give
some study and attention to the matter
of mitohmakir.g among the people
The commissioner ha i labored over
this matter very industriously, and. ac
cording to the Kansas City Journal, he
has evolved a scheme. He prop.ses to
prove to them that they can pet in fa
vor with the preat father if they will
join in the holy bonds of matrimony
The scheme is a novel one, and it is
the opinion ef the commissioner that
verv soon the leading duties of the
Indian agent will be to act as remarry
ing agent for his colony. The reward
for petting married is a strikinp mar
riage certificate. It starts with a
heavy sheet of paper with a red bor
der. Much is expected of this red bor
der Then the "United States of
America" is in blue, while the '"Our
Glorious Eaple" has not the savape
look, but a sort of weddinp-day smile,
and the "E pluribus unum" and the
American flag are displayed with an
intensity that would be eheap at any
price. The eagle presides over a mar
riage ce-rtiScate in the usual form. The
agents are to be instructed to make an
exhibit of the scheme, and to use their
influence in petting the Indians to
come to the conclusion that they will
U'ost of luek if they refuse to pet mar
rie.L The apents are to show the
certificates w hich have been prepared
with the hope that they would have
the "catchy" appearance, and to pos
sess one would be the ambition of the
average Indian. ?.nd this would last
hira until after the ceremony was per
formed. l!y the Cash of the certificate
it is hoped to prove that marriage is a
-.neoess
A Cower has been discovered in South
America which is only visible when
the wind blows Tbe shrub belongs to
tbe cactus family, and is about three
feet high. The stem is covered with
dead, watery-looking lumps in calm
weather; these lumps, however, need
but a slight breeze to make them un
fold large flowers of a creamy white,
which close and appear dead as soon
as the wind subside.
