CUSTOMS OF AFRICAN TRIBE.
Traveller Tells Of People Low In the
Scale of Humanity,

Herr Eberhard Won Schkopp, who
has explored the interior of the Kan.
eruns district in western Africa, gives
an interesting account Of the native
tribe called the Bakoko. They are,
he believes, of Semitic origin, and,
having lived in the Kameruns district
only about 200 years, are called
strangers by other natives. They gov
ern by means of council of elders"
whose duty 1t is to Judge offenders
guilty or guiltless. II guiltless they
are set free; If guilty they are put
to death, this being the only form of
punishment known there.
According to the gravity of the
crime, the manner of execution varies,
and may be Simple" or "complicat-
ed" Simple" execution means be-
ing thrown to the crocodiles. Com
plicated" execution consists Of being
fastened to a tree and left to be eaten
by casual visitors, such as lions and
tigers, or being tortured until death
comes.
Cannibalism is practiced by the Ba-
kokos, not because they especially
care for the flavor Of the meat, but
because they feel that by eating every
particle of an enemy they are subject
ing him to the greatest indignity con-
ceivable.

To make this effective, a small pit

brick placed across it, upon which the
edge of the cask will rest. Half the

The head or cover is removed while

The cross sticks rest upon two cross

FLY EATEN BY INDIANS.
Larvae Of Insect Make Rich and M.
tritlous Food.


According to writer in the Scien.
tific American, perhaps the most sin
gular food for human beings is the
larvae of fly which is common in
parts Of California. This insect is
found In such vast quantities in Lake
Mono that it is washed upon the
shores in vast windows and can be
collected by bushels. The water of
Mono Is very singular, seemingly
heavy and smooth like oil; so much

refuses to become rufIled. When the
larvae begin to appear Indians gather
from far and near and scrape them
W, place the wormlike creatures on
cloths and racks in the sun and dry
them, when they are beaten up and
husked, looking then like rice. The
Indians call the food "kooh-chah-bee,' u
and many bushels are collected at
this time. That larvae are nutritious

Covering Strawberry Beds.

The strawberry patch should be
mulched before hard freezing weather
arrives. In a state Of nature the wild
strawberry plants are mulched with
grass and leaves Of many kinds that
the winds carry to them. Under cult
walton the ground is usually quite bare
and mulching is more needed than
when growing wild. It keeps their
roots moist and protected from the
violent changes Of temperature. 1t is
really needless to discuss the merits
OF mulchlng strawberries because they
are so well known. The main thing
is to do It in time. Just as the ground
begins to freeze. or soon afterward, is

Science Has Demonstrated That Il
Can Overcome the Disease.

The sanatoria, better than anything
else, have demonstrated the absolute
durability of tuberculosis, particularly
when treated in the early stages, says
DR.. S. A. Knopf, in the Worlds Work.
Some of them report as many as rs
per cent Of cures, the great majority
of which are lasting, as careful in
quiry among the discharged patients
constantly proves. Even more re-
markable results are obtained in the
treatment of scrofulous and tubercu-
lous children in special sanatoria To-
Gated along the sea coast In Europe,
particularly in France, Holland and
Germany, there are along the sea
coasts numerous splendidly equipped
sanatoria for that purpose. In the
United States we have thus far virtu-
ally none of these class of institu-
lions. am, however, pleased to state
the New York Society Of the Poor
contemplates establishing such one.

F. ]. H.-A stone foundation of a
house standing in heavy clay lifted
and cracked last winter. The walls
are built from solid rock up. How
can a repetition of this be prevented.
BY the description you give of your
foundation the cause of the lifting and
cracking must be for the want OF
drainage. If the wall sits on solid
rock it would not heave by the frost
unless the water is allowed to stand
in the foundation and freeze. II the
wall were properly drained II should
not crack. BY laying a tile drain
around the outside of the wall and at
the bottom, 1t should remove all the
standing water and prevent the walls
from being lifted by the frost.
