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 a
large box-was a wooden structure
built into a corner, and all round the
inside ran a 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, it
suddenly occurred to us that such a
proceeding was not etiquette" out of
consideration to the other bathers. So
we stepped out, soaped ourselves
well, 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 a sudden premo-
milton of danger made me look up, and
the spectacle which greeted my eyes
caused me to utter one agonized gasp,
and then sink rapidly out of sight. The
pains we had taken to block up the
gap at the entrance had all been In

NOT DRUGS
Food Did Ii.

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic and apparently incurable con-
stipation yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in few days.
From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to use laxatives continuously go
ing from one drug to another and suf-
fering more or less all the time.
"a prominent physician whom con-
suited told me the muscles of the di-
gestive organs were partially par
alyzed and could not perform their
work without help Of some kind, SO I
have tried at different times about
every laxative and cathartic known,
but found no help that was at all per-
manent. had finally become discour-
aged and had given my case up as
hopeless when began to use the pre-
digested food, Grape-Nuts.
Although I had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested imme-
diately from the first and in a few
days I was convinced that this was
just what my system needed.

give up the chase after 100 yards or
so. This pony of Hassan's was about
the best l ever saw in Somaliland.
He would not put price on it, be-
cause he said he could make quite a
respectable income by making looting
expeditions on its back, as it was so
fast nobody could catch it.
Killing CameIs to Save a Pony.
A year after this met Hassan
again, and asked him how his pony
was. He said it was very well, but
that he had very nearly lost it a short
time before. He had been down in
the waterless plain on a looting ex-
petition with some other Eidegalla
warriors. After 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 it
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 it on it's
legs again, and Hassan was in de-
spair. He knew there were no viii
lagos at the wells where he could get
vessels in which to carry water back
to the pony, and it seemed as if moth
ng could be done to save it. At last
he thought of a 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

| 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 a 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 threats of
a hundred than have lost his pony.
This story shows great deal Of re-
source in native, but the life So
mali leads makes him wonderfully
quick at finding a way out of fix of
this kind. It was very lucky the pony
was not killed by lions or hyenas
while Hassan was away.

ly caught by the lioness We had a pony

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 ban

and the lions seemed to do most of

were a good many ostriches and a few

had two or three shots, he was so

last felt so ill he had to give her up.
His shikari told me the lioness was

frightening Hassan, so we started at
once, Hassan not coming, but sending
a relation of his on the same pony.
After short ride we got to the place
and found the tracks going into a
long strip of high feathery grass. We
cast all around and could find no
tracks coming out, so decided to burn
the patch. 1t was about 200 yards
long and perhaps SO broad. 1 could
not command the whole of it, so /
told the men to light it at the top
and along one side, and Abdulla and

put the warrior on the pony to see
if the lioness broke that way. AL

within a few yards of us, but the

bottom end. She did not see us, as
we were rather behind her and stand

At last l did get a bullet into his
flank. He at once turned, and, growl-
ing fiercely, came bounding a few
yards towards us, as if trying to make
up his mind to charge. Whether he
would have done so or not l do not
know, as my second barrel caught him
on the point of the shoulder, bringing
him on to his nose, and before he
could recover himself put in another
bullet from my second rifle and fin
ished him.
It is more than likely he would not
have charged, as 1 have several times
seen lion make this kind of demon
stration when slightly hit, more,
think, to try to brighten his assailant
than anything else. A lion that really
means charging up comes quite silent
ly, galloping very fast along the
ground like a dog.
