As to food the chief staple is the
banana. There are many varieties OF
these in Uganda and they are more
important to that country than wheat
and corn are to ours. The banana,
which serves as the chief food, Is
much longer than any that comes into
our markets. IT is a sort of plaintain.
II is eaten green the fruit being first
peeled and then cooked with a little
water in. an earthenware pot AS
It steamS away the flesh softens and
soon becomes a solid mass of mush.
When done 1t is taken off the fire and
turned out upon some fresh banana
leaves. These serve as a tablecloth.
The family now gathers around and
gets ready for the meal. Each first
washes his hands and gives them a
shake to get off the superfiuous wa
ter. The father then takes knife
and divides the pile Of banana pulp
into as many divisions as there are
members at the board. In the
meantime bowl of soup or fish gravy
has been placed inside the ring. This
is used In common. Each person
takes up handful of banana mush
and kneads it into ball just big
enough for one bite. He then dips
the BAH into the soup, and with a
wonderful sleight of hand conveys it
To his mouth without dropping a bit
of the grease. BY the time the ban
ana mush is all eaten the soup bowl
is empty.
These people also have Indian corn,
peas, beans and sweet potatoes. They
raise chickens. sheep and goats, and
occasionally have meat. They do not
seem fond of eggs, and the women are
not allowed to eat them after they
are married. They are not permitted
to eat chicken or mutton. such viands
being reserved for the men of the
family. They may. however, eat beef
or veal
The Baganda have fish from Lake
Victoria and from their numerous
streams. They eat locusts and are
especially fond of white ants. The

UGANDA HOUSES.
These Uganda people live happily,
They are always laughing and smil-

hand in hand. They have comforts
able homes from an African stand
point, They live in Villages scattered
over the country but each village has
it's garden about IT, in which grow
bananas, sweet potatoes and other
vegetables. As a rule the banana
trees shade the huts, and one often
walks quite a distance through a
banana plantation before he gets to
the house.
The houses are Of different sizes.
Some, such as those of the chiefs. are
Of great extent and are most elabor-
atelY made Out in the country they
are more like huts. and they look
much like little haystacks about II
feet in diameter and / > feet in height.
except that each has a sort of brim
which extends out and shades the
door. The huts are made OF reeds
with matched roofs, the latter being
upheld by poles. Every hut has sew
eral rooms, which are divided by
walls OF mating and bark cloth Even
the poorest house has two apartments
one al the front and the other in the
rear In the rear apartment are
hunks around the wall upon which
the people sleep. Such huts have
but little furniture; two or three
stools, a half dozen earthenware pots
and some wicker or grass basins con-
stitute ap outfit for beginning married
life. and II IN addition a woman can
have hoe OF SO and a scythe She is
fun ready to assume her part of the
