AFRICAN ETIQUETTE.
The Wisest Plan to Follow in Visiting
the Big Native Chiefs,

In African travel 1t is always wise to
visit the biggest chief in any part OF
the country. One can always learn
from other chiefs at a distance who
they are and something of their char
acter. In approaching them, always
send word of your coming, and get, II
possible, information in advance of the
feeling of the chief toward whites.
Upon nearing the village, send on
ahead to announce your arrival, and
wait until your messenger returns with
some of the villagers to escort you to
their chief. Greet the chief civilly, and
ask him to send one of his people, to
show you a good place for your tent,
If you decide to camp in the village,
which have done invariably In this
country, though it is not always advls-
able in every part of Central Africa
When you have rested the chief will
come to see you. Then state to him
your business, talk frankly with him
and explain plainly your needs, wheth-
er you want guides or to buy food.
l seldom stayed in place more than
one day, and generally the first night
l called the chief privately into my
tent, had long talk with him, and
gave him present, consisting general
ly of good cloth, four yards of Ameri-
CAM, four of wide blue, four of narrow
calico, and about an egg-cup full of
beads, and sometimes an empty bottle
or two. Invariably l received next day
the cooperation Of the chief in every
way, and also a big goat or sheep or
bullock, and fifty or sixty pounds of
-four. Sometimes l gave small addi-
tional present before leaving. If the
chief took fancy to any particular
thing, and could spare it, l did SO.
Sometimes one wanted sheath knife,
and another hat. Old Kambuidl was
determined to have shirt. He wanted
a candle, matches and needles, which
gave him; and as had previously
given him cloth suggested, as feeble
sort of joke, that, as be now had cloth
and sewing materials and light, he
might sit up at night and make shirt
Immediately the old fellow replied
at is the candle that Is interfering
with my success. Here, take back tie
candle and give me the shirt" l final
ly yielded, and gave him a much-patch.
ed garment, which satisfied him.-Cen.

Clothes Hooks.

A practical innovation has been in
troduced in Berlin restaurant, where
the clothes hooks are arranged in such
way that, after hanging a coat on
them, they can be locked by means OF
a snap lock in the upper hook or hat
rack. Regular guests receive a key
while transient guests have to ask the
waiter to return them their overcoats
Since the introduction of this patent
hook, not an overcoat has been stolen
In the place, while previous to that
time considerable trouble arose both
to the proprietor and guests because Of
sneak thieves. The new hook is very
simple; the lower part of it is on q
hinge. and the lock is attached TO the
upper arm, being out Of harms way.

DELEGATES OF GREENLAND.
Whaleskin Is Considered n Great Castro
nomic Luxury.

Whaleslin Is Considered n Great Castro
nomic Luxury.
Greenlanders have no regular meal
times, but eat when they are hungry.
They seem able to go without food for
remarkably long period and also to
eat at a sitting the most astonishing
quantity. Among their principal dain-
ties is the skin of different kinds of
whales. They call it matak, and look
upon it as the acme of Righteousness. 1t
is taken off with the layer of blubber
next to it and is eaten raw without cere-
mony. An arctic explorer, in his recent
work, declares that he must offer the
Eskimo his sincerst congratulations on
the invention of the dish.
II can assure you-the reader-that
now, as l write of it my mouth waters
at the very thought of matak, with its
indescribably delicate taste Of nuts and
oysters mingled. And then it has this
advantage over oysters, that the skin is
as tough as india rubber to masticate,
so that the enjoyment can be protracted
to any extent.
"Of vegetable food the primitive
Greenlander used several sorts. may
mention angelica, dandelions, sCsrel
crowberries, bilberries and differen
kinds of seaweed.
Zone the greatest delicacies is the
contents of reindeer's stomach. If 8
Greenlander kills reindeer and is un
abs to convey much Of it home with
him, he will, believe, secure the stom
ach first of all, and the last thing al
Eskimo lady enjoins upon her lover
when he sets off reindeer hunting il
that he must reserve for her the stomach
of his prey.
1T is no doubt because they stand IL
need of vegetable food that they prizt
this SO highly and also because it is il
reality very choice collection of the
finest moss and grasses which that gor
mand, the reindeer, has picked out fol
himself. 1t has undergone sort o.
stewing in the process Of semidigestion
while the gastric juice provides some
what sharp and aromatic sauce.
Many will no doubt make a WY
face at the thought of this dish, bu'
they really need not do SO. l have tastet
it and found it not UNBEATABLE, though
somewhat sour, like fermented milk
As a dish for special occasions it il
served up with pieces of blubber ant
crow berries.
