CUSTOMS OF THE NASAL

Sir Harry Johnston writes Of the
Nasal, that African race which has
been giving so much trouble to Ger
many OF late THE young men are
all warriors, theoretically Between
the ages approximately of u and q,
When in this stage they are known In
their own language as el moran.

greatest length. gwen sometimes twist.

their wool The hair is then thickly
coated with mutton fat and red clay
and tied into perukes All hair on the
face and body is pluckod out by iron
tweezers. The skin Is kept constantly
fabricated with mutton fat mixed with
red clay. but as a rule the body is not
disagreeably oily, and this fabrication
Only has the result Of giving beauti.
tul polish to their sta'uelike forms.
AS regards the body. there is prob.
ably no more beautifully formed type
man than the young Nasal warrior
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1906-05-11

The face is sometimes In keeping with
the body, but more often has a rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received a very
long while ago a slight infusion OF
Hamtic blood from races dwelling to
the east of the White Nile. While
they are in the warrior
stage the Nasal live principally on
milk and on blood drawn from the
veins Of living cattle. They also oc.
casionally eat the meat of oxen, goats
or sheep.
When Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property on
which 10 retire he decides to marry.
This is usually about the age Of q
to 30, After marriage he shaves his
head or at any rate keeps the hair
of his head very close cropped He
ceases to anoint himself with mutton
fat and definitely ranges himself With

What Luther Burbank has done with

just been sent to London, where they
will be disposed of at the annual fur
sale In the English capital.
