C0nceit Of the SOnlali

Perhaps the most remarkable char
~acteristic Of the natives IL somali-
land is their u%nbounded, preposterous
conceit. EngIishmen who know their
language have been appalled, by it.
When watering his camel or his horse
the somali encourages the animal to
drink BY chanting to- It in a monotone.
1t is at such moments Of extemporary
}efusion that the man shines in all
his glory. The subject matter may be
the experiences of the days march,
the virtues Of the animal beside him,
the charms of his latest wife or his
own prowess in some bloodless tribal
raid. BY great good fortune the fol-
lowing literal translation of one of
these chants or songs am into my
possession, and insert it without
any comment:

me! Isarn = somali, rs perfect in size

Ham and Eoos.

To make a dish of ham and eggs as
good rs possible, cut the ham nearly
half an inch thick. boil it in plenty of
water till barely cooked through, pour
off the water and put the pan In a
place Just hot enough to brown the fat
part of the ham slightly. but not hot
enough to make smoke. or to brown
the lean meat much. When this is
finished, remove the frying pan from
the fire, take up the ham, pour eff the
fat into & cup. and wipe the pan till
1t shines like a mirror, without a
single speck to mar the polish. Then
put in a spoonful of the clear part of
the fat. break in the eggs and set the
pan in place scarcely hotter tl.an
boiling water; cover it, and let the
eggs cook as slowly as possible for
four OF five minutes, taking them up
as soon as they can be lifted out. Place
them around the ham, and do not pour
any OF the fat on the dish. Eat with
mashed potatoes.

In a Welsh country town there may
be e a foot-bridge made of coal,
originally intended to be only a tenn
porary structure, but found of sufi-
cient strength and frmness t war
rant its being used as a permanent
footway. At Barcelona, Spain, there
was constructed in 1888 a lighthouse
of compressed coal blocks. On a por-
ton of the southern English coast, at
a small point called Kimeridge, circu-
lar shale disks with a square hole
very much like Chinese ''cash')
haye been turned up by the pillow.
Curious biologists who heard of the
disks found that they were nothing
but coal money, for il seems that in
ancient England, in pre-Roman days,
coins or tokens of coal shale were
quite common and were perforated in
order to be strung together (like Chi
nese "cash") that they might be more
conveniently carried. Not the least
curious Of the many applications of
coal is coal porcelain. Coal flower
vases, milk mugs, plates and sau-
GERS, book covers, clock frames,
wash basins, inkstands, spools for
lace work. candlesticks and scores Of
other articles are made out Of coal at
factories in the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania.

full, If men who make that declaration
in tie face Of the facts to the contrary,
know exactly their own minds on the
subject, but not so very doubtful that
they do not know the real purPOrt and
meaning of the report. Ii the Mail wants
to get the voice of the people on the
subject, it should arrange to spread the
report before them, and after they have
read and studied it, get their own views
and mot those which are either second
handed or not the views of the votert
at all. The fact is that provision should
have been made by the Legislature to
circulate the report among the people,
If It is to be enacted into law, or if the
Legislature wants to act in accordance
with the voice of the people on the sub
iect. There is not Legislator in the
state who can ascertain the true senti-
ment of his constituents on the subject
without their having read the report, and
it is safe to say but few have read it.
Why then should any legislator or any
paper assume to say that his constit-
uency favors or does not favor the re-
port? Such a declaration is absurd. Tho
effort of the Mail may give the paper
notoriety, but viii not result in any
more knowledge on the subje@ than ex-
listed before the effort was begun.
