He had beads in the lobes and one of the men with him had the lobe of his ear so stretched that it held a pug as big as my fist. l bought the plug of him for cents, and the man then took the two lobes of his ears and joined them to- gether under his chin and tied them there with bit of string in order that they might not catch on a branch or something else as he went through the forest.

Where Cattle Sleep With the People.
 These Wakikuyu live in small villages. Their towns look like collections of hay cocks until you come close to them and when you get inside you find that they contain as many animals as men. The houses are thatched huts built about six feet apart in circles around an inclosure in which the cattle, sheep and goats are kept at night. The sheep and goats often get inside the huts, and as for the chick ems, they go everywhere. Each circle of nuts uSudily pelOHSS lO Oile ldHlly, u c1lleI and his relatives thus living together. The huts have wooden walls about four feet high, with conical roofs Fhe wood is chopped out of the trees with the na- tive axes, the boards being about IS inches or feet in width. They are made by the natives, a man and his wives requiring about ten days to build a hut. The wood used is soft and the kind is regulated by the government, which charges the na- tives 66 cents for enough wood to build one hut.
 In addition to the huts, each family has two or three granaries to keep it's winter with wicker walls and wicker floors, and are raised foot or IS inches off the ground. They are usually about as big around as a hogshead and six feet in height. They have thatched roofs.
 What They Eat
 The Wakikuyu are practically vegeta- rians. They live on corn, beans sweet potatoes and kind of millet They have a few cattle and some sheep, but they consider them too valuable to be killed, and they only eat them when the cattle are sick or become injured in some way and have to be killed. They have no and eat neither fowls nor eggs, The reasons for this Is that chickens crow, and in the past the locality of village could be told by the cocks and thereby brought down it's enemies and the slave traders upon it. These people have many dishes like

perhaps bad. This~eomtry has been
so long a bipartisan country that the
proposal to relax party ties naturally
arouses suspicion.
One thing, however, may be said Tor
the primary experiment When it is
once undertaken, it is not dropped. It
may require amendment, improvement,
modification; but it doesn't get re-
pealed. The old caucus system ap
pears to be doomed where once a Legis-
lature can be induced to pass a law es-
tablishing primary under the protee-
tion and supervision of the State. Ex-
periments with voluntary primaries, es-
tablished under rules adopted by party
organizations, and lacking the backing
of the State, have been of doubtful
value. They opened the way to the
legalized primary, but beyond that have
been of uncertain utility.
The Washington times., 1908-09-01
Primary Laws.

There is curious difference between
the Eastern and the Western States, in
their attitude toward primary laws.
The plan of popular primary nomina-
tions has been accepted alike by the
Democratic States of the South and the
Republican States of the West But
east of the Allegheny mountains it has
ast made much headway, and it is
noted, as one of the issues of this year
in local contests, that the political
powers are continuing their opposition
l to the plan in Eastern States.
y The primary nomination idea always
develops strength where there is de
cid d manifestation of radiealism.
Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Wash
ington have gone in for it in the most
rigorous form. In the South there is
q different reason for the devotion of
the political powers to the scheme.
They have developed the primary in
such fashion that it has become a first
aid in the business of excluding the
coloTed man from real influence in poll
ties. In many Southern cities, by com
mon consent, all white citizens vote AT
the Democratic primaries. Nobody asks
whether they are Republicans or Demo
Gratis; they vote, because it is esteemed
of first importance to maintain white
rule
The primary thus Tar has proved its
utility generally in turning one ma
chine out of power, and turning an
other in. 1t has not had d long enough
test to determine whether It win be
efficient for the purpose of turning this
new machine out, when the people de
eide that it is necessary to have a
change.
On the whole. the workings of the
laws thus far seem to have justified in
part the expectations of its proponents.
But the primary is not an unqualified
and demonstrated success. Nobody has
decided yet the ideal way 70 keep Dem
ocrats from helping nominate Repub-
liean candidates, or to prevent Repub-
licans allying themselves at the pri-
m9ry with some Democratic faction 1t
Is conceded that the primary tends to
weaken the party affiliations OF the
people. Perhaps this is a good thing,
