Intermarriage with the mild and timid Mashona women and other slaves began to undermine the Matabele Zulu stock over a half century ago. Still the men do not aeem to have grown less warlike. Even if their mothers MATABKLK WARRIOR. were taken from tribes that dread war,' the boys were taught from infancy to regard war aa their trade and cowardice as a crime. The sons of Mashona mothers have stood up in the present war, to be shot down by the improved guns of their white enemies, as the Mashonus themselves never would have done. The Matabele warrior, shown here, is a fine specimen of physical manhood. On one arm is his bull-hid- e shield, on which he catches, unharmed, the assegais or arrows of his enemies. In one hand he grasps two assegais, the weapon which the Zulus have made so terribly effective at short range. In the other hand he holds a sort of knob kerry. Jt is a stone fastened securely to a handle. This rude weapon figures prominently in Matabele warfare. It is used both ss a throwing and a striking weapon, and many a skull has been cracked by it One of the cable dispatches the other day mentioned it as figuring in the --resent was.
