Influence oS Indian Soldiers on the 1uhab-
itants of Central Africa
In a recent issue of the British Cen
trail Africa Gazette correspondent
gives some interesting particulars of
the progress made In the district at the
northeastern end of Mount Mlanje since
its occupation by the administration
and the building of Fort Lister, which
II. II. johnson planted In that region
to command the route frequently taken
BY slave caravans from the interior to
Quillmane. Among other matters
which he notices as due to the presence
Of the Sikh soldiers who garrison Fort

tically a new language. Where the
Indian soldiers are 70 be found there

language, a mixture of Hindustani,
Swahili. Yao and Chinyanja. This is
most remarkable near Fort Lister. II
Is one of the newest languages on
earth; II cannot be more than year
old, but Is well understood by the peo-
pie. The vocabulary is limited, and as
for the grammar it Is as yet uniformed,
but am confident that should the In

another FIVE years the philologist will
be delighted to study the Indo-African
language of the future and to trace to
their origin the marvellous words COM

notes that with the advent of the Silxhs
q wonderful change has come over the
habits and manners of the native.
Where formerly his wants in the mat
ter of clothing were confined TO suf-
flcient calico to clothe his family and
himself, he now requires boots, tur-
bans, trousers and coats, and at a dis
tance il is said TO be now difficult to
distinguish the half-naked savage of a
year ago from the Sikh soldier in his
ordinary dress. Another matter in
which The African initiates the Sikh is
in the military salute. with which the
native now frequently accompanies the
greeting of Europeans, the result being
more amusing than correct"

Fiction for the Masses.

The Kipling story which will be print
ed complete in next Saturdays Tribune
is one Of this master novelist's best
efforts-and his admirers do not need to
be told what that means. The appear
ance of such story In a daily news
paper would. several years ago, have
occasioned almost universal surprise
Apart from the cost OF securing the
manuscript from an author of Klpling's
reputatlon-for Kipling charges at the
rate of 33 1-3 cents word for his short
stories and is not anxious to sell them
even at that almost fabulous price-the
experiment of publishing really high
class literature in the daily newspapers
is comparatively recent one, entered
upon, at the beginning, with many mis-
givlngs.
There was time, and that not long
ago. when 1t was regarded by leading
authors as 'undignified" to be repre-
sented in the columns of ephemeral
prints like the newspapers. Their
productions were reserved for the
more respectable" magazines, where
the lack of numbers in the au-
dence was supposed to be counterbal-
anced by its higher quality. But the
popularization of the daily press has
since changed all that, and 1t today
gives to the millions what was wont to
be confined to the tens. 1t will be. re-
membered by constant readers of The
Tribune that in these columns. during
the past year. have appeared some OF
the very best literature sf the period
