IN RIP VAN Wrinkles LAND.
The Portugucsc Colonies In Africa
In n Backward state.

The Portuguese colonies in Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land of real
ity. After three centuries of white
dominion they remain pretty much in
the condition in which Da Cana and
his bold successors left them.
Here is a picture of what trade
means In the favored region OF Cabin
da bay. where there is a single white
trader who occupies a house of three
rooms. with a ''Shop" 20 feet by s
attached. The place is stocked with
puncheons of some vile stuff called
rum which are exchanged for palm
kernels.
Knots OF natives frCm the interior
villages with loads of kernels begin
to present themselves at the shop by g
a. m, and when the trader at last
makes his appearance there is noisy
crowd of kernel sellers and thirsty
hangers on.
The exchange of rum for kernels is
quickly effected. and by . o'clock in
the morning the entire population may
be seen lying under the shelter Of the
cocoanut palms either stupidity drunk
or noisily quarreling.
The mingled uproar and snoring lasts
till about noon, when there IS n sud
den return TO sobriety. and the crowd
clears away to the village to collect
the means for another carousaL
on a good" day the trader at Ca
binda bay gets rid of about 100 gal
Ions of rum, and he AYERS that the
scene described is repeated every day
in the year.

came Il demand for more cats from the
consul's friends, and he gave his serv-
ant more money with which to buy
cats.
This went ON for two or three
months, and the native servant waxed
exceeding fat. One morning, however,
the general, on coming out of the con-
sulate, was surrounded by host of
Infatuated yelled women, who besought
Mohammed to curse him because he
had stolen all their cats. 1t appears
that the native servant had pocketed
the money for himself and gone round
with a sack and confiscated every cat
in the place.
