$PRovIsION MARKET IN AFRIc,

Travellers in Africa find the STANDARD
Of living somewhat different from what
they are accustomed to at home. Opa
OF the latest to report upon this mai.
ter is Mary Hall in her book, "A Won.
ans Trek from the Cape TO Cairo
The following paragraphs reflect
strong light upon the condition Of mar.
ket and kitchen in British Central
Africa:
When the native butcher proposes 10
kill an OK, notice to that effect Is sent
round TO the white people on the prev.
ious day. Once they were apprised Of
the fact by the following startling an.
nouncement: "A bule will be murdered
tomorrow morning at a. m"
This cOld-blOoded crime, so carefully
premeditated-even to the exact hour
was, however, not committed, as the
following morning a second notice was
issued. as follows: THE bule ran away
this morning, SO was not murdered
But this was an exceptional case
heard one story which is so char
acteristic Of the native that | repeat
It The man who related 1t told mo
that the incident occurred when be
was on a journey, and was suffering
from bad attack Of fever. One eren-
ing he fancied he would like some eggs.
and told his boy to get two and boil
them lightly.
After time they were brought to
him as hard as bullets. He told the
boy he must get some more and boil
them less; but alas. these were brought
TO him in the same condition. and the
poor fellow wished he had never or
dered them at all.
Being unwilling to give in. he made
another attempt, and told his boy,
Come to me when the water boilS"
The boy did so.
NOW, said his master, put the eggs
in, and when you have counted fifty,
take them out"
The native method of reckoning is to
count up to ten. and then begin again,
arriving at the total by the number Of
tens counted. The sick man heard tho
boy start fair and get as far as four
tens, when a second boy interfered, aud
questioned whether it were the third or
fourth ten.
This started discussion: aud as
they could not agree, it was decided to
begin all over again. Meanwhile the
eggs were still boiling. and getting
harder and harder. This was about
the last straw, and Ill as the man felt
he was compelled to get out OF bed and
put summary end to the cooking op
erations.
