THE BORANS OF AFRICA.
A CowardIy Tribe That Sacrifices
It's Children and Cattle.

A CoyvardIy Tribe That Sacrifices
It's Children and Cattle.
4 cowardly tribe in the interior OF
Africa, the Borans. is thus described
by British explorer: They carry
long spears with huge blades, which
look grotcsque in the hands Of such
craven race. They wear loose knickers
Of American cotton cloth and q wrap
of the same material over their shoul-
ders. These garments are treated with
CHI (butter) till they look like black
waterproof. This American cloth is
very durable and is the only cloth for
which there is any demand. 1t is the
ordinary medium Of exchange among
the tribes from Dirri to the coast. The
Bleran either shaves his head or keeps
his hair short Or long in CHI covered
ringlets, but he always wears small
pigtail. He ornaments himself with q
necklace Of small beads or plated
giraffe tail hairs; also with many
heavy bracelets Of metal and ivory,
which often incase his arm up to the
elbow. Each of these is supposed to
represent some dangerous animal, in
cluding man, which he has slain.
Bands and tabs Of giraffe skin COM
plete his costume"
Borans are polygamists if they can
afford the luxury. Their women have
to content themselves with leather gar
ments made of bullock hides scraped
thin, clothing being considered much
too valuable for them. They are weigh
ed down with many bead necklaces.
Their religion consists in belief in q
spirit, "Wak." The vagueness Of their
conception Of ''Wak" is shown by the
fact that the same word is used in the
Boran tongue for the sky. They do
not believe in any future state of eX-
istence, but try to avert present calam-
ity by propitating Wax. This is done
by sacrificing their children and their
cattle. A Boran Of any standing when
he marries becomes "ra5a," and for
a certain period after marriage, proba-
bly, four to eight years, he is obliged to
leave any children that are born to
him to die in the bush. No Boran cares
to contemplate the fearful calamities
with which Wax would visit him if he
failed in this duty.
After the "raba" period the Boran
becomes a "gudda." This word" says
the traveller who describes the natives,
happens to be the Hindoostanee for
ass but if there were any connection
the Boran would certainly be entitled
to the rank earlier in life" WAX has
no claim on Gudda's children, but nei-
ther has Gudda himself. He has to
send them off at very early age with
q present Of cattle and sheep to be
brought up by the wata, who are the
low hunter caste Of the Borans. They
remain with these people till they are
grown up and then return to the bosom
Of their people.

40 cogee or Dessert In Japan

Coffee is not popular in Japan. When
guests arrive for 4 dinner party they
are received in an anteroom and in
med;ately served with tea and cakes
before entering the banquet hall. The
cups in which the tea is served are
very small and Of the finest proclaim.
They have no handles, but are passed
on metal trays, which take the form
of a leaf. The tea is brewed directly
in the little cups and served without
sugar or cream. Dessert, SO dear to
the occidental housewife, is also un-
known in Japan. At informal dinners
rice forms the last course. It would be
q breach Of etiquette to serve the little
cakes which come before dinner with
the tea during this final course.

Dr.. Kerr, a Scotch minister, tells this
story Of his visit to village school:
"The lesson was one giving an account

child from drowning. 1t was said

Wishing to find out if any child in the
class had got glimmering OF the

and got from every child nothing but

words, to which they attached no

Taken With Cramps.

VIM. Kirlnse. a member Of the bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly Ill Thursday night with
cramps and kind of cholera. His case
was so severe that he had to have the
members of the crew wait upon
him and Mr.. Clifford was called and
consulted. He told them he had a
medicine in the form of Chamberlain 5
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
that he thought would help him out
and accordingly several doses were ad-
ministered with the result that the fel-
low was able to be around next day.
