SOURCE OF ZULU JAVELIN
Many African Tribes Have Attained
Enough Skill In Smelting Metals
to Make the Assagais.
The railing charge about idols for
the heathen being manufactured in
Birmingham, England, has become an
article of common faith, yet on the
most scanty evidence. In the earlier’
ye*rs of the last century the same
charge was laid at the Puritan doors
of New England, for it was common
ly said of ships sailing out of Salem
and Boston for the coast of Africa
that they were freighted with mis
sionaries and hymn books in the cud
dy, brass idols and New England rum
under hatches in the ’tweendecks.
There is no reason to suspect a for
eign source for (he Zulu javelins ■
Many of the African tribes have at
tained to tlie art of smelting several
of the metals; the Amaz.ulu, a race of
no inconsiderable culture, have prog
ressed so far in the iron age that they/
have invented the softer grades of:
steel. The steel tips of these weapons;
are not considered imitative of tliei
leaf but of the obsidian tips which are
frequently used by warriors of the
same age. The name is preferably
spelled assagai as in better conform
ity with the etymology. It is an Afri
can name, but not Zulu nor of any
tanguage in South Africa. It. was
Introduced by the Portuguese discov
erers. who had already borrowed it
from the Berbers of Morocco or more;
likely from the Moors during their;
domination of the Iberian peninsula.
In the Berber it is al-zaghayah or|
without the article zaghayah and'
means spear. In the chivalric period'
it existed in English in the composite:
lancegay or lattnce-de-gay.
NAVAL TIP FOR SEAGOERS
Lemon and Ginger Should Be Given
to Those Not Sure of Themselves
on Shipboard.
A surgeon on the naval hospital
ship Solace has a remedy for seasick
ness which should he of interest to
folks who are going on winter cruises
and are apprehensive that they may
have to stay below deck most of the
time.
It is simply a decoction of lemon
and ginger, and may be taken in the
form of lemon soda and ginger ale, or
a dash of seltzer may be added to a
little lemon juice and Jamaica ginger.
The doctor’s idea is that Ihe lemon
causes a greater secretion of the gas
tric juices and that the ginger serves
as a stimulant, the need of which can
be best appreciated by the victim.
The remedy has been used on thq
Solace with various degrees of sue'
cess, and it is not pretended that it
will prove effective for everybody, it
should be taken in small doses as soon
as trouble seems to be approaching
although it may be of some use at a
well-advanced stage.
Uninviting as the beverage may
seem, it can be made after a little
experimenting so that it is verjf
agreeable. The lemon juice and gin
ger is not as palatable as the soda<
but has been found to give better re*
suits. Usually it is best tci make itl
with more ginger than lemon and with
just enough carbonic water to make
it drinkable.
A Gladstone Story.
Mr. E. F. Benson, in at. article on
jthe winter charms of Grindelwald in!
‘‘Travel and Exploration,” related an
hnecdote of Mr. Gladstone. It seems
that at a country house one morning
the guests were discussing at break
fast the right way of packing a
sponge-bag, when the sponge has been
used and is consequently water
logged. Mr. Gladstone, who had ap
parently been solely absorbed by his
morning’s correspondence, suddenly
closed the discussion by informing the
party that they were all wrong. “The
lonly proper method is to wrap it up
Jn your bath-towel, and stamp upon
it. Then put it in your sponge-bag.
You will find it perfectly dry.”
Unopened.
“Did opportunity knock at your
dcor?”
“Yes, but the cook always maintain
ed that it wasn’t her place to answer.”
—Puck.
To curry favor is as muen an effort

DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE
TERRAPIN AND CHAMPAGNE DI3-'
PLACE HOG AND HOMINY AT
THE BALTIMORE BANQUET.
WAS NO PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
Meeting Was a Celebration and No
Great Political Significance At
tached to Proceedings.
Baltimore.—Content during the
lean years of defeat to dine at “dol
lar dinners” with "hog and hominy”
as the central theme and spring water
on the side, the militant Democracy
of 1911 sat at a feast in this city,
where the exclusive diamond-hack ter
rapin vied with the aristocratic can
vas-back duck and the epicurean
Smithfield ham in the courses of a
banquet celebrating the Democratic
victories of 1910.
The banquet was the closing fea
ture of a day given over to harmony
conferences among the Democrats
froth various sections of the country.
Governor Harmon of Ohio and Champ
Clark of Missouri were the central
figures in tlie doings. Both delivered
formal addresses at a meeting in the
Lyric, and both were called upon for
impromptu remarks at the banquet.
Senator Joseph \Y. Bailey of Texas,
Gov. Eugene X. Foss of Massachu
setts, former Representative Theo
dore M. Bell of California, former
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, Sena
tor Robert L. Taylor of Tennessee,
Senator Shively of Indiana, Represen
tative-elect Martin W. Littleton of
New York, National Chairman Nor
man E. Mack and “Deacon” James C.
Hemphill of Richmond took part in
the conference and delivered speeches.
A special train from Washington
to Baltimore brought practically every
Democratic member of tae United
States senate and house of represen
tatives.
Contrary to tlie general Impression
tlie meetings constituted a celebration
rathhr than a conference, and no great
political significance attached to the
proceeding.
“We wanted to hear the eagle
scream and the rooster crow,” was the
way on*' Democratic leader put it and
there was a lot of both.
The banquet was the most elaborate
affair ever held in Baltimore, The
preparations for it have been under
way since soon after the ballots were
counted in November last and in the
wealth of floral decorations, in re
pleteness of service and in the choice
of viands and vintage wines, it ranks
with the most notable feasts tlie Dem
ocracy has ever known.
O’NEAL INAUGURATED.
Local Optionist Sworn in Alabama’s
bama’s Governor.
Montogmery, Ala. Col. Emmet
O’Neal, formerly a citizen of Flor
ence, Ala., took the oatli of office
which made him governor of this
state. At Lie same moment Braxton
Bragg Comer, for four years governor
of Alabama, became one of the dis
tinguished citizens of the state, giv
ing way on the boards for a new ad
ministration with totally different
views.
Tlie governor’ smaiden speech as
the state’s chief executive was deliver
ed immediately after he had been in
troduced to the swaying mass of peo
ple by Alabama's retiring governor,
Citizen Comer. It abounded in opti
mism, and as such was cheered to the
echo.
Governor O'Neal pronounced Ala
bama's drastic prohibition laws an in
vasion of individual rights and consti
tutional guarantees and declared the
attempt to insert a prohibition clause
in tlie state constitution the offspring
of intolerance and bigotry. He pro
claimed prohibition a failure and rec
ommended a general local option law.
He advocates a divorce between liquor
interests and politics to be accom
plished by the creating of an excise
commission vested with the power to
control the liquor traffic. He declared
that virtue cannot be legislated into
men’s lives and that the solution of
the problem is the proper regulation
of the liquor traffic, mainly along the
lines of prohibiting the sale of any
thing except the purest liquors. His
address indicated a conservative pol
icy.
Scandal Stirs Naval Circles.
Washington.—Rear Admiral Barry,
commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet,
was forced to setk retirement because
of a scandal affecting his moral char
acter. Admiral Barry lias been placed
on the retired list. This action was
taken after a hurried consultation by
Secretary Meyer and other iiigh navy
department officials. There may he
no courtmartial, President Taft and
Secretary Meyer wishing to avoid fur
ther publicity. Rear Admiral Chaun
cey M. Thomas is placed in command
of the Pacific fleet.
Populations Announced.
Washington.—With a population of
1,619, or 393 per cent, in the last
decade, Millen, capital of Jenkins
county, probably leads the municipal
ities of Georgia, in 1900 Millen had
only 411 residents.

NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDED
Wonderful Highland Dialect Respon
sible for Wrong Impression
Given Divine.
Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in
New York, talked about the Scotch
dialect.-
“It's a hard lingo to understand," he
6aid. "It often causes awkward mis
takes.
“Once an American divine spent
Christmas in a Highland Inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
a tip of a sovereign, and he said, look
ing earnestly at her —for she was a
pretty maid—
“ 'Do you know, Kathleen, you are a
very good-looking lassie?’
“Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered:
“‘Ah, na! Ah, na; But my klssin,
sir, Is beautiful!’
“The divine frowned.
“ ‘Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage!' he said sternly.
“He didn’t know, you see, that mod
est Kathleen had been simply praising
in her Highland dialect, the superior
charms of her cousin Janet of Pee
bles.”
NOT THAT.
The Congressman—l’m opposed to
the bill at present, but I might change
my mind for $5,000.
The lobbyist—Your mind doesn't ap
pear to me to he worth that much.
A Son’s Compliment.
His incessant work, his avoidance
of all rest and recreation and his rig
orous self-denial made Joseph Pulit
zer, in his days in harness, the de
spair of his family.
In this connection a pretty story is
told about the famous journalist’s son
Ralph. Mr. Pulitzer had refused to
take a holiday, and Mrs. Pulitzer ex
claimed:
"Did you ever know your father to
do anything because it was pleasant?"
“Yes, once—when he married you,”
the young man gracefully replied.
A Surprise.
"I’m going to give ray wife a real
surprise this Christmas.”
“That so? What are you going to
give her?”
“The money."

Housework Tiresome?
“For five years,” writes L. Fulenchek, Houston,
Texas, “I suffered with pains all over, especially in my
back and side, and was so weak I could hardly do my
housework. A friend told me of Cardui. Since taking it,
I feel so much better! Now I can do all my housework,
and am not bothered with pains at all.”
Cardui has proven especially beneficial in cases of
