or horse and buggy alone. 1t
1t has been impossible for some time
for them to use their regular q. S.

WIS absolutely impossible. The rains
OF Friday softened the snow banks so

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured In Europe. The
stockings have been carefully examin-
ed by experts, and they are loud in
their praise of them. They will last
almost as long as ordinary stockings.
The reason is because the paper of
which they are made was, during the
process of manufacture, transformed
into substance closely resembling
wool, and was then woven and treated
as ordinary wool.

The citizens Of Grand Rapids have
probably noticed that the ice on
the west half of the river has all gone
out, rotted away. This is due to the
fact Of the new improvement in the
erection Of the dam and mill property
OF the Consolidated Water Power &
Paper Company. The great ice jams
that we used to experience in this
city in the vicinity of the bridge will
probably never occur again. The
conditions of the old Wisconsin river
at this point have changed.

country. Their spears were no match
for the weapon that could kill man
mile away. They had met the first
intruders whom they could not con-
quer; and close behind the white man
came a cattle plague they had never
heard of before. RinderpeSt wiped out
nearly all of their herds, their only
food resource. They had never titled
the soil, and now they persisted by
tens of thousands. 1t is believed that
about 100000 of them are still alive,
but they are broken and humbled in
spirit, and are turning to agriculture,
for they will never again place their
sole dependence upon cattle.
They are born children of the
steppe, and there they will remain.
Schillings tells of Nasal who walked
one day up to a nest of bees, thurst
his naked arm into it and brought out
piece after piece of yellow honey
comb, which he distributed among the
white mans carriers.
why did the bees not sting your
the astonished porters asked.
Your work is to carry loads,' he
answered. but my home is the
steppe, and it is mine to enjoy all 1
find in it. The bees sting you, but
they love me-
Many men, including some of the
leading German travellers have made
a careful study of the Nasal in the
past few years, and few of the tribes
of Africa have SO many friends to-
day among the writer's on that con-
tinent as this interesting people, who
were so dreaded only a few years ago
that their country remained unknown
long after every other route to the
great central lakes had been ex-
plored. The most authoritative work
on them is Die Nasal" written by
last year. After losing nearly all that
was of value to them as property, they
have finally relinquished, apparently
without much regret, the greater part
of the land where they were once SUI
preme. But in spite of the shortcom-
ings which they have in common with
other barbarous peoples, they have
the good opinion and friendship of
those who know them best
IF l were not myself" wrote an
official in German East Africa, early
this year, Il should like to be Nasal
of the olden time before their af-
-fictions of recent years.
1t is hoped that the Nasal may
prosper under the new conditions and
justify the expectation that they will
attain a considerable degree of de
velopment in the new role of farmers
attached to the soil they till.

Twenty-four years ago a mission
airy in East Africa wrote that a half
century might elapse before the coun-
try between Mount Kilimanjaro and
Victoria Nyanza was explored. The
Nasal nomads, herders and warriors,
permitted no intrusion on their wide
plains. Native traders dared not cross
the Nasal country, and no explorer
would be reckless enough to enter it,
No news of the past year has been
more significant of the stupendous
changes occurring in Africa than the
cablegram the other day announcing
that all the Nasal, the most famous
of tropical African peoples, will soon
be living on reservations like the In
dian wards of our country. The chiefs
and their people have given their con-
sent. They have signed treaty with
the British in which are defined the
boundaries of two large reservations,
one in the northern and the other in
the southern part of Masailand. They
have agreed to remove to these re-
serves with their cattle, to be gov
erned by two British administrators
who, with their constabulary, are to
preserve order and keep out intruders-
No one would have dreamed twenty
years ago that this was to be the fu-
ture of the proud and formidable
Nasal. They are not negroes, and
for centuries they have kept their
race practically pure. They are of
Semitic origin, and ages ago they
probably fought their way from Arabia
or some neighboring part of Asia
through the African tribes to their
present habitat. They are stalwart
and handsome physically, with long
and narrow faces, superb carriage and
naughty bearing, the result, perhaps,
of their invariable success in war with
the tribes bordering their land. Lead
ing the life of herdsmen and warriors,
they have excelled in both pursuits
They have loked upon freedom as the
greatest blessing and have never
owned a slave.
Two Nasal were recently in the
employ of the German ZoolOgist Schil-
lings, and when they went with him
to the coast to receive their pay in
rupees for fifteen months service,
they used the money to buy the free
dom of a middle-aged woman living
near Mombasa, a member of their own
clan of the Nasal. No Nasal" they
said should ever be a slave"
