One of the most intere sting places is
the woman's market. This consists
of vast number of mat tents or

woman sits with her wares piled about
her. She may have vegetables. grain or

other things made by the people. The
women have the monopoly of the sales

Selling Money.
1t is strange to have shops that sell
money. I do not mean stock exchanges
or banks, but real stores with money on
the counters and stacked up in bundles
and laid away in piles on the shelves.
That is what they have in Omdurman.
There are caravans going out from here to
all parts of north-central Africa, and
each must have its own currency
for the journey. These people are
not far from the dark ages, as far
as their financial matters are con-
cerned. Many of the tribes do not know
what coinage means: they use neither
copper, silver nor gold, and one of our
dollars would be worth nothing. Among
many of the people brass wire and beads
are the only currency, and, strange to
say, every locality has it's own style of
beads and it's favorite wire. If blue beads
are popular you can buy nothing with
red ones, and If the people want beads
of metal it is useless to offer them glass.
In some localities cloth is used as
money, and in others salt Is the medium
of exchange. The salt is nodded or cut

Each smith sat on the ground before a
little anvil about eight inches high and
six inches wide, and pounded at the silver

are dark brown and others have the color
Of rich Jersey cream.
One of the queereSt men I met dur
ing my Journey was an African with a
complexion as rosy as that of a
two-headed American baby and hair
quite as white. He was water
carrier, dressed In a red cap and long
gown. He had two great cans on the
ends of pole which rested on his shoul-
der. and he was trotting through the
streets carrying water from one of the
wells to his black Sudanese customers
His feet and hands were bare and thew
were as white as my own. stopped him

with him in Arabic. and learned that
he was pure Sudanese, coming from
one of the provinces near the watershed
of the kongo. He said that his parents
were jet black, but that many men of his
color lived In the region from whence
he came. 1 stood him up against the
mud wall in the street and had two
Sudanese women. each blacker than the
ink with which this paper is printed,

photographs. The man did not like
this at first, but when at the close l gave
him coin worth about % cents he sa-
