Ubunu, the young King of Swazi- land, appeared in full court dress, that is to say a forty -shilling slop suit, with a bowler hat, and at- tended by his "tail" of Indunas — about a dozen nearly naked Swazis —on the station platform at Barber- ton and waited patiently until it was almost dark, ween the rumble of the train could be heard in the distance. With straining eyes they watched the track to see the flying wonder they lead heard of. But when the engine, with screaming whistle and two great lamps glaring like the eyes of a monster dragon, rounded the curve and came screaming to - ,ward them, they fled like panie- stricken rabbits to the nearest cover, leaving their chief and the few ;white men on the platform to face ;the eanger. eeeeit morning the Chief re -appear- ed on the platform with his "tail," .and begged the acting stationmaster Ito show his Indians the locomotive in less bellicose mood, and if It were humanly possible to give them a (short ride behind It. As there was really nret hing doing at the station the stationmaster decided to humor the young Chief's wish, and, book- ing an empty coal truck on to the locomotive, he told the driver to take them for a few miles' run aisng the lime. Ubunu and hie "tail" got into the coal truck, the station- master into the cab of the engine, and off they sot. It was "fair and aoftly" for a short distance from tho start, and the Swazis seemed de. lighted with the new sensation, but the driver put on speed, and when it got to about twenty miles an hour bis passengers were clearly in a great state of Oaten ; they grasped ,the ride of the truck and gazed 'like paralytics at the rocks and trees flying past them. !Ubunu did his best to reassure them; !Yee in vain, and some of them were on the pointtof jumping overboard to ;eAohpe a wersoQ fate when, Ubunu trhou'ted to the 'driver, and asked him ,please to slacken the pace. No sooner Bald than done, and in little more ,than a minute their speed was re- duced to that of an ox wagon. The Swazis were quite reassured, and were soon laughing and talking again as lively as ever. At a siding, half w'aer to Avoca, they halted, the en: gine changed ends, and tiie return 't'o'urney began. Ubunu gave the sign that rte would( like a bit of speed put on, and the driver, nothing teeth; whipped her up until she was going 'between thirty and forty miles an liber. lie imagined that the Swazis swould get the funke again, for the ;road was nut very smooth, and the truck was jumping about a good deal, but he was mistaken. The Swazis had amen enough to satisfy them that he Was master or the "Smoking Horse," Land a hundred miles an hour would nolt have shaken their confidence. . On returning to the station they oft out of the truck with evident re- luctance, but'h.lghly delighted with their adventure. The stationmaster was no longer a person of conse- quence. They crowded around the cab df the engine, made their most dutiful obeleaneo to the master 01 the Smok- ing Horse and his mate, and departed With shouts of "Inkoos, Inkoos 1" (Thank you, my lord, thank you !)-1 - Ole Scotsman. , , . t i HEALTHFOR LITTLE ONES.

FRIENDLY ADVICE To Weak,Nervous and Easily / Tired Women. (liven in the Story of One Who Had Suffered and Has Found Renewed Health and Strength. (From the ,Sun, Orangeville, Ont.) It is a goad many years since 'the good wy'ought by Dr. Williams' Pink 1 -'ills was first recorded in the columns of the ,Stun, but during that period the sterling merit of the medicine has increased its reputa- tion, and every day adds to the number of those who have found health through the use of these famous pins. Many of this towu have freely spoken of the benefit they have derived from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pille, and to these another is added. in the person of Miss Victoria Widdis. To reporter of the ,Sun, who had heard of her cure, i`Iiss Widdis said : "Several years ago I became very 'much rim donna; 1 telt tired all the time, my blood wets watery and I was in what the pity sicianis called an an- aemic condition.

My appetite failed me and I was gradually,grutving worse. I had heard and read of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and decided to give :them a trial.

Their love for color is the passion- ate fondness for brightness of all the raoes from which they spring—ne- gro, French and Indian. Fashions change not at ail from decade to decade, and the only difference be- tween the dress of the richest class and the poor is a matter of quality, except in the case of the women who act as carriers of fruit and vege- tables. These wear a simple garment, not unlike an empire gown, made with a good deal of full and drawn up under the girdle in such a way as to leave the Limbs free. This gown Is always of some vivid hue, with which the golden tint of the skin contrasts exquisitely, and as the women are beautifully formed the ef- fect fs that of draped statuary. In the well-to-do class the same passion for color is shown. Over a loose white linen garment richly em- broidered with full flowing sleeves, a gown is worn that is much like that just described, but is of silk or fine muslin. Crimson, yellow, blue or green may be the ground color, on which brilliant colors of vividly contrasting shades are printed. This Is caught up by a silk sash to a comfortable walking length, and a long scarf of thin Bilk is draped co- quettishly around the shoulders. The costume is completed by a kerchief of gay colors, tied about the head with a conspicuous bow on top, and frequently a large jewelled brooch at each side of the fastening. The women have a stately carri- age that I have never seen sur- passed. Whether bearing a basket of cakes or fruit on the head, to be sold at the shops and houses, or sauntering down to the water to be rowed about for amusement, their dignity of manner and statu- esque beauty of form are fascinat- in in the extreme. The better class has some educa- tion, and the woven study a little music and embroider exquisitely by way of accomplishments. They have musical voices, as a rule, and sing sad little creole songs or gay French chansons very prettily. They are a cleanly people, and utilize the mountain streams to keep the streets clean, as well as for baths. One of the '`show" places is the great Shower bath in the court of the almhouse. The force of the water from the mountain height Is immense, and the baths are frelquented by many besides the Inmates' of the Ileuses. The white population is only a few thousands, so that the only impression that one derives from the street throngs is that of the native population, with its colors and brightness. The two do ,not mingle in any way, as there are enough whites to forst a charming society, and the natives are per- fectly content to be ignored so- cially, - A Big Ship.

In considering the 'question of farm labor, as it ef- fects the operations and profits of the farm, and the home lite of the dwellers 'there, morally and social- ly, it will generally be found on large or moderately large farme, that the employment of married men boarding themselves, Is alto- gether preferable to boarding men in the !rouse.

It is net too much to say that the future life of many a bright boy or girl in this country has been a failure through too little atten- tion having been paid' to their yearning for! home comforts. One of the first things to be aimed at in operating a farm in this way is to employ none but good men, and then to do everything in rea- anat. TM, QUESTIONS OF ETIQUETTE. I would like a little information as to how a lady should be intro- duced tut a large ball. The card is made out, and 1f one person has to Introduce tete Madly to the gentle- men who. are to donee with her, it would be a long job, as well as dif- ficult. , A Reader. It its not necessary to, introduce all the gentlemen at once, and the duty can be divided between, the differ- ent memlbers of the leceptdtc n• Com- mittee. The gentleman sheiitd be In- troduced to tete Lady, not the lady to tate gentleman. Will you kindly tell me if it ie n•e- cessary to make a call after luncheon and how Hoon after ? Also, when two friend& send out eards for an "at home," my friend reosivineg at the other lady's home, how many cards (should I send, and to whom address the envelope ? Ata Old Reader. A call sliauld be made within the week after a Lunetheon• or dinner. Ttdns is one of the mtoet important rules of etiquette to be observed.

Jones are invited it a church wedding, after which there is not to be a reception.

If so, how soon after their return, and phould card's be left wit•en calling? Ono of your Readers. A call should certainly be made up- on the 'beide and bridegroom, within a week of titter return to tete city, and, by all mean, caudle ehnuld be left, ea that there should be no question teat the call had beet made.
