A Question OF Clothing.

On the northern shores OF Lake Nyassa
live the Wakonde, described by all travellers
as one Of the finest tribes OF Central Africa.
Lieut.. NIESsTAEDT. a German traveller, has
called attention to one remarkable result OF
the eproximity OF white men. who have estab-
lished missionary stations in that region.
The Wakonde have thriven by the arts of
peace. and hardly any part OF savage Africa
can show so many iiourishing plantations
as their country. They manifest their prim-
Tive simplicity in many ways, and in none
more than by their attire. which is chiefly
conspicuous for its absence; for the Wa
konde are among tho least clad OF African
peoples. A girdie Of brass or copper wire
suffices for the men. while very small bit
OF braided leather adorned with beads is full
dress for the ladies Of the tribe.
Until the whites came among them their
utter lack OF clothing suggested to this
primitive people not the slightest thought
OF indecorum. Clothing is not an essential
Of comfort among them, and no sense of
shame or modesty suggested its use The
Wakonde were simply animals in their inno-
cence and simplicity.
The whites. however have been trying to
instil into their minds an idea that never
occurred to them before. that it Is immod-
est to be unclothed. The well-meaning
teachers have not succeeded in converting
the natives to their ideas of dress reform.
but the Wakonde have shown themselves
willing to make some. concessions to the
