These islands are the largest and
best in all Lake Victoria. There are
50 of them, Of which AZ are Inhabited,
In the past they have had a large pop
ulation. but within two or three years
the sleeping sickness has broken out
there and thousands have died. There
IL a large hospital on the island, and
this. for the greater part of last year,
was under the control of DR. Koch the
famous German diphtheria specialist,
who came out here to study the sleep
ing sickness. At present the Sesse
group has some good sized settlements.
The natives are farmers. and they
raise bananas corn. potatoes and to-
bacco. Coffee grows wild. and It 10
said TO be good.
The Sesse Islanders are much like the
Baganda. Both sexes dress in bark
cloth and the women wrap bark blank
cts around their bodies under their
arms, leaving the shoulders and upper
breast bare. Only the babies are al
lowed to go naked. These people are
good fishermen, and they nave well
made canoes. They manufacture them
from trees of soft wood, cutting the logs

far away. They dress In bark cloth,
and the women often wear only fringes
OF banana leaves which are tied TO a
cord about the waist. The men buy
their wives with cattle, and every man
has as many wives as he can afford
When a man dies his wives become the
property of his sons. The only excep-
ton is the real mother who Is never
given to her own son, but often to an
uncle or the fathers brother
The women are little more than the
servants of their husbands. as is the
case all around this great lake. The
men are considered superior beings.
A girl may not sit on chair or a
stool and II there IS anything of
that kind in the hut II is monopolized
by the male members OF the family, the
girls using the ground.
AMONG THE sESsE ISLANDERS.
The Sesse Islands are off the shore
of Uganda, the largest of them being
only three miles from the mainland.
They are governed by the king of Us-
anda. and have representation In the
lukiko, or council of chiefs, at Mengo.
The principal chief gets $1,000 a year

together with leather thongs and calk-
ing them. Some such boats will hold
one hundred men. In olden times, 1t is
said, that certain kings of the Sesse
group had as many as 400 canoes.
Speaking of the missionaries, the
Sesse Islanders are TO a large extent
now Christians. In the past their coun-
try was seat of heathenism, and the
nome of the famed goddess, Mukasa who
ruled all Victoria Nyanza. This goddess
had temple on the island Of Bubembe.
Her priests were supposed to own the

travels in Uganda. Tho people bury
the dead In their gardens, and a COM
mon place of burial Is at tho corner or
in front of the hut. Sometimes house
Ia built for the mourners outside the
family of the deceased. Tho mourning
usually lasts a month and at tho ond
of that time all dispense and go to their
homes.
Graves OF this kind arc usually in
the banana bushes and they are often
covered with dried grass or banana f.
bers. The corpse is washed with banana
pulp squeezed from tho stem OF the
plant and is wrapped up in bark cloth.
The Buvuina islanders bury their
dead in much the Same way, and they
also erect shelters over them. These
are baby huts In which the spirits arc
supposed to lIve they are renewed from
time to time when in need of repairs.
The graves are often marked by plant
ing trees over them,
The Basukumas, among whom trav-

One of the most interesting state
merts made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during
the past year. Is made by E. 81. Lam
bert a retired business man, whose
home is at 115 Francis Street, Everett,
Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this TO say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines. Some time ago 1 read an ar
tIcle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most III health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the
stomach in sound condition, it would,
in many cases, remove kidney and
liver trouble and various other all
ments He argued from this that the
stomach was the main cause of sick
ness, and stated that the success he
has had with his medicines was due
entirely to this fact.
Il am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
II have been a sick man for fiVe
years. Three years ago I was told by
