Bnilding Houses in Zululand.
The Zulu woman is the architeet and
builder of the Ulu house, and the style of
architecture is known in the colonies
as "wattle and daub." It looks like an
exaggerated beehive, for the Zuln mind has
this peculiarity, ehat it cannot grasp the
idea, of anything that is it not round or
eliptical in form. There are no squares in
nature. To build her house the woman
traces IL circle of the grotufil, fourteen feet
in diameter, and getting a number of '0 19,
limber branches, shesticks them firmly into
the ground, and then bends the tops over
and ties them with fiber obtained from the
numerous creepers or "monkey robes. "
Then elle twines thicker oreepors in and

these speed, about twelve inches apart, and
then taking wattle (a kind of eou(1se grass
or reed), ahe thatches the edifice, leaving e,
small hole at the top for a chimney, and an-
other hole three feet square for a door. In
front of this she builds a covered way ex.
tending outward about three feet, and the
exterior of the house is finished up by a
coat of " daub" or mud.
She then seeks Wie nests of the white ant
and, digging them up, obtains a quantity of
white clay, which she beds to powder,
dries. and then, mixing i1 with water,
