Japanese Could Not Understand Their
Desire for Privacy While in
the Bath.

An interesting article in the Wide
World Magazine is entitled 1.-TWO Girls
in Japan" by Irene Lyon. Here is Miss
Lyons account:
The bath itself-which looked like
large box-was wooden structure
built into a corner, and all round the
inside ran convenient ledge for sit
ting on. The water being little short
of boiling, our movements were de-
cidedly cautious, and, curling ourselves
up on the ledge, we tried to grow ac-
customed to the temperature by de-
grees before plunging right in. When,
thinking to remove the traces of our
journey by vigorous application OF
soap, we began to scrub ourselves, 1t
suddenly occurred to us that such
proceeding was not etiquette" out of
consideration to the other bathers. So
we stepped out, soaped ourselves
we'll, and rinsed our bodies with the
wooden ladies' supplied for the pur-
pose, before getting back into the wa
ter again.
We were sitting on the ledge, chat
ting peacefully, when sudden premo-
milton Of danger made me look up, and
the spectacle which greeted my eyes
caused me to utter one agonised gasp.

forward, but recovering herself
caught sight of the man on the pony,
and before I could shoot again she
was half way towards him, going like
flash. He had not seen her when
shot, as she was hidden by the
grass, and by the time he got his pony
turned around and started she was
close to him. He galloped straight
away from me, and l dare not fire at
the lioness for fear of hitting him.
For nearly 200 yards it looked any
money on the lioness. She got right
under the pony's tail, but did not seem
to know how to strike, and at length,
to my great relief, the pony began
to gain on her. She at once pulled up,
and turned into bush where she lay
down stretched out at full length,
painting. Running up, l shot her be-
fore she could prepare for another ef-
fort. My first bullet had gone through
the muscles of the forearm just below
the shoulder, and being solid had only
drilled quite small hole. The ma
tiyes said that the reason she could
not catch the pony was because lion
could not spring before momentary
halt to crouch. II this is SO, a pony
could always get away from lion
galloping straight behind 1t, unless the
pony was such bad one that the lion
could come alongside. On two or
three occasions I have been chased
myself in the open grass plain, but
have always got fair start, and my
nony has had no difaculty In keeping
out Of the lions way. A pony boy of
mine was very nearly caught one day
in the open. He was trying to round

Opposes sIeached Flour.

The Lancet Uondon) agrees fully
with the action Of the bureau of chem
istry of the department Of agriculture
in this country in ruling against the
bleaching of wheat flour. THE public"
says the Lancet, would be well ad-
vised to abandon the fallacious notion
that the whiteness of bread is mark
of quality. On the contrary, 1t nearly
always means an insipid, unpalatablo
bread, and an attractive flavor is fac
tor of considerable Importance in con-
nection with the digestibility of food.
The destruction of the natural color OF
flour by bleaching agents synchronizes
with the destruction of Its attractive
flavor. Such tampering with the star

and the little Midgan rather amused
US, as he got SO very much annoyed
because his dogs would not eat some
great chunks of raw lion-fesh ne cut
off and offered them. We we're on
our way to skin the other lion When
we met Hassan looking rather sorry
for himself. He said that the lioness
had trotted quite quietly at first. and
he had brought her round IN circie
towards the place where ne had leie

had left it, in very bad way, but
Immediately proceeding to kill and cut
open the camels, he took the water out
of their stomachs and gave it to the
pony, which revived sufficiently to
struggle to the wells. After few
days rest it completely recovered.
Hassan added that he could very soon
get some more camels, and that he
would rather have cut the throats of
a hundred than have lost his pony.
This story shows great deal of re-
source in a native, but the life a So
mali leads makes him wonderfully
quick at finding way out Of a fix Of
this kind. 1t was very lucky the pony
was not killed by lions or hyenas
while Hassan was away.
Just before Hassan's pony was near
ly caught by the lioness We had pony
killed by lions, the man on his back
escaping rather cleverly. At that time
we had two separate camps, six or
seven miles apart. each of them on the
edge of the Marar Prairie, on a ban
or open grass plain many miles In ex-
tent. This was the best place for
lions it has ever been my luck to come
across. Hardly day passed that
lions were not seen by one or the other
of US, very often right out in the open,
miles from any bush. It was cool,
cloudy weather while We were there.
and the lions seemed to do most OF
their hunting in the daytime. There
were SO many, and they were so bold,
that the Somalis were quite nervous
about walking through the bush In the
daytime. Between us we shot "a
lions in this place in little over
fortnight. Besides lions there was
more game than have ever seen any
where else. Large herds of hart
bseste. oryx, and sommering's gaselle
were to be seen feeding in every direc.
tion. Besides this, in the open there
were Z good many ostriches and few
hunting cheetahs. In the bush at the
back q our camps were Waller's a.

Killing CameIs to Save a Pony.

A year after this met Hassan
again. and asked him how his pony
was. He said 1t was very well. but
that he had very nearly lost 1t a short
time before. He had been down In
the waterless plain on a looting ex-
pedition with some other EIdegalla
warriors. After n successful raid they
split up to avoid pursuit. and Hassan
was on his way home driving some OF
the looted camels In front of him. It
was a very dry year. and although II
was the rainy season. he had been
unable to find any water In pools to
give his pony. The result was that
having been ridden hard for two or
three days with little or no water to
drink. the pony got beat. and at last
lay down. about 20 miles from the
wells they were making for. No
amount of stick would get 1t on It's
legs again, and Hassan was In de-
spair. He knew there were no vii.
lagos at the wells where he could get
vessels in which to carry water back
to the pony. and 1t seemed as II moth.
ng could be done to save 1t. At last
he thought OF plan. Driving the
camels at top speed to the wells. he
gave them as much water as they
could drink. and hurried them back
again. He found the pony where he
