found widely distributed In public
places, but never before had this man,
anyway, seen anybody weigh on one
of them anything but himself or her
self as this weigher, woman, did in

She came in carrying in one hand a
muff and in the other box Of polished
oak that was narrow and proportion
ately high and maybe a foot In length.
That the box was heavy was shown
by the fact that the leather handle
had been stretched somewhat by its
weight
And apparently its present carrier
had found it heavy and was curiouS
about its weight. for now she set the
box on the platform Of one OF those
weighing machines and dropped pen
nv in the slot. 1t weighed ten pounds,

was all she wanted to know-didn

EXCHANGE of Presents In Africa.

Frequently one has to deal with
chiefs; in fact, in every village the
traveller will probably be welcomed
BY the chief. An interchange OF
greetings through an interpreter
establishes a good understanding.
An interchange of presents is usual
on these occasions, and is an almost
universal custom. Etiquette re-
quires the chief to give present in
return. As a rule, a chief can only
offer bunch of bananas, some paw
paws or possibly goat or two, some
of which may possibly be welcome.
On a special occasion the chief may
offer the traveller a wife, a gift
which he will probably decline with
a great profusion of thanks.-En-
