The Nasal of Eastern Africa.

The Nasal, according to Mr.. Thomson,
are in their manners, customs and religious
beliefs distinct from both the Gala and
the Somali, and are magnifcently modelled
savages, with smooth and rounded out
lines, rarely showing the knotted and
brawny muscles of the true athlete The
tinct stages. Boys and girls up to about
the age of II with the latter, and II to IA
with the former. live with their parents,
and are fed on meat, grain and curdled
milk. After this both sexes live together
promiscuously in kraal set apart for un-
married men and women. The men are
warriors, with nothing to do but fight, and
steal cattle abroad and amuse themselves
at home. The young women attend to the
cattle, build the huts, and perform the
household duties. Both sexes feed on
nothing but meat and milk This diet is
strictly adhered to-; neither vegetables,
fermented liquors nor tobacco are permit
ted. Even the flesh of wild animals is
forbidden. The meat and milk are never
taken together. For several days the one
is their sole diet, to be followed by the
other after taking a strong purgative.
They drink the blood of their bullocks
When they eat meat the men retire in
small parties to the forest, accompanied
by young woman. As in civilized life,
this laxity of morals is accompanied with
much attention to dress. The women are
very decently attired in bullock's hide and
wear twenty to thirty pounds of thick iron
wire cooled around limbs, arms and neck
by way of ornament, besides beads and
iron chains. The men wear small kid
skin garment around the shoulders and
breas-that of the married men rather
the larger This sort of life is generally
led by the Nasal until he has passed the
prime of life and feels his strength decline.
He then lays aside his great wU-spear,
buffalo-hide shield, sword and knobberry,
and marrses, previously wearing for
month the dress of an unmarried woman
He may now eat vegetables, smoke and
indulge in alcoholics, but his business is
to rear up brood of young warriors. AT
death his body is thrown out to the hyenas
and vultures. The Nasal are nomadic,
and their houses are only huts of bent
boughs plastered over with dung, and in
the wet season protected by hides Even
among the Gallas the Nasal have bad
reputation, and no greater insult can be
offered to a Gala than to ask him if he is

announcement.

Encouragement is something that We
naturally look for
A little praise, or word of hope, or
cheering understanding for the hungry
soul to grasp and the weary mind to rest
upon, as we climb the tOilsOme mountain
of life.
How many poor hearts have sunk into
dependency, when little encouragement
would have treasured them How many
have taken their lives in the hour of des-
pair, when friendly hand stretched out
with aid might have saved them
The child looks to its mother for help
and encouragement, when it is taking its
first step in walking The school-boy looks
for encouragement from his teacher when
he is taking his first step in education.
And so on through life The soldier
looks for it ON the field of battle; it is the
cheering voice of his leader that urges him
on through the dangers of death and
crowns the day with victory.
The poet and the artist look to the world
to acknowledge their genius and give them
praise. 1t is encouragement which calls
forth the noblest words and helps them to
climb the mount of fame until they sur
mount all difficulties and write their names
in flaming letters upon its summit.
Then let us give encouragement to each
other in every effort of good, in every
noble action; in the little duties of life
and we will be happier for it; the world
will be better; and a smiling Providence
will look down and bless our labor Of
loye.-Erchdnge.

How very Human.

A story of animal intelligence equal to any
of those published in the Spectator has been
communicated to the editor of the ReUue Scie,,-
tJique, by professor Fontaine, Of the Lycee at
Versailles, and is corroborated in every detail
by his companion in the adventure, the pro-
lessor of mathematics at the same institution.
During their vacation last autumn these gen.
tlemen found themselves in Inverness. While
going about the town they noticed that they
were followed everywhere by beautiful
spaniel, of which they at first took no notice.
Attracted however, by the animals persist
ence, they looked closely at it and found that
round its neck was a small padlocked box,
with an inscription asking for aims for some
poor schools. The professors are assured that
the dog recognized them as tourists by their
clothes, and as therefore likely to give will
lingly. However this may be, NJ. Fontaine
drew penny from his pocket, and was about
to pnt it in the box; but the dog prevented this
by holding its head down over the opening,
and, seizing the coin in its mouth with great
quickness, ran away. A few minutes later
they passed a bakers shop, and saw their COL
lectlng friend seated on the counter, and ap-
parently enjoying to its hearts content loaf
which it had purchased for the penny This
remarkable story seemed to the editor of the
ReUue ScieHtiigue to need confirmation, which
was supplied by the following terse note from
professor Porchon, the other witness: 81 add
my evidence with much pleasure TO that of my
friend NJ. Fontaine, with regard to the liver
ness dog. l saw it refuse to allow penny 10
be put in the box it carried, and taking the
coin in its mouth, get on the counter Of ba-
ker's shop, there depositing it and getting a
loaf in exchange. "-PdH Mall Budget.
