The Scmali cameIs contrasted with The
Indian camels are very gentle They
seldom injure any one In moving about

commodating disposition is attribute bic
greatly 10 the manner in which they are
treated by the natives. who. though
rather cruel TO their ponies. never ilI-uSe
a camel. Many Somalis are utterly ig-
nOrant of leading, this work being done
largely by women says Il writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle. The camel is every
where in the land He is the great means
Of transport and is given in payment for
wives and in settlement OF the inces-
SAINT blood feuds which render peaceful
village and town life almost unknown in
the interior
As the troops make their way inland

the fresh camel milk obtairable at these
Is very refreshing on the long marches
e men of Somaliland use curious
white clay found in various parts Of the
country to dab on their heads. which
makes them loow like black footmen
with powdered wigs. The unmarried girls
wear their hair fuzzy. and the married
women theirs in black net. The enor-
nous ant hills in the Haud are a nota-
bic feature on the landscapes.
The difficulties OF the expedition VIII
begin when it enters the bush country.
The tan. light-skinned. handsome. 1.-the
Somali chief. with his spear and onyx
skin circular target is q curious contrast
to the strong. dark Midgaan. with his
bow and wooden CULVER of little poison
ed arrows. which are deadly enough 10
kill an elephant in three hours. The
former is a great believer in charms and
horoscopes, and generally wears an am
ulet In the form OF verse of the Koran
strapped to his arm or neck. He loves
a draught of the melted fat of a Sleeps
tail. and as long as he has plenty Of
'ghee.' or clarified butter. with his rice
and dates. he is happy. The latter is
simply barbarian and prefers meat
more or less raw. The Somali ponies are
wonderfully good and hardy little amt
mails, but are very badly treated by
their owners. They are much superior
TO the Arab for use in Somaliiand as
they do well on the grass there and re-
quire no grain, which is unobtainabie IN
the interior until you get very far in
land
