The natives of that part of South

have a peculiar system of banks and

Colony country. The natives come
down south from their country to trade
In the several villages and towns in
large numbers and then return to KAT

From those who trade of their own
number they select one who for the
occasion is to be their banker He is
converted into a bank Of deposit by
putting all the money of those whose
banker he is into a bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want.
When an article IS purchased by any
Of those who are in this banking ar

Triangular bandages are chiefly used

comes to hand may be used as impro-

bark Of trees, straw, rifles, bayonets,
lances and so on. The splint, If neces-

or grass and is fastened with straps
torn from the soldiers equipment or
with strips of a shirt, securely bound
with the triangular bandage. Bound

decrease in brook trout Recently I
think 1 discovered the cause of the eK-

Gated trout in its mouth. The action
Of the snake Interested me, and, stand

"On the end of the snakes tail was a
sharp bony growth shaped like a hook.
After few moments my watching
was rewarded by seeing the snake
glide over to some bushes growing
along the bank and catch a grasshop-
per in its mouth. The snake then
placed the grasshopper carefully on
the hookllke thing on the end Of its
tail
"By this time my @lriosity wasfthor-

man. "The snake crawled up on log
that extended from the bank into the
brook and let its tail hang into the wa

and snapped at the gfasshopper. II
was short work for the snake to trans
fer the fish from its tail to its mouth
