Australians still tell stories of the colonial volunteers, although the war is a far memory. One, a member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard wagon load of goods. He shiyered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder Ing many things, and then bright thought struck him just as the colonel came around on his tour of inspection.
 Colonel" he asked, "how much Is this wagon worth?'
 ''I don't know" was the answer. "Mucl or little. we can't afford to lose it."
 'Wcll, but. colonel" persisted tho amateur soldier, ''you might give me a reugh idea of the value
 About f2O0.' said the colonel testify
 Very well" was the answer; "I will come down to the camp and give you q check for the amount. Then I'll turn In. I wouldn't catch my death of cold for twice that much

Secret Society Among Sese islanders


 The Sese islanders have attained peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of a secret society called the Barhichi which is not burial society. although It's members take d deep and intcill gent interest in all deaths and burlals in their midst In the more retired vil- lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, it is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel atiyes to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot where it Is left unburied by the bearers, who nev- CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- chi. who arc denizens of a neighborng village. and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him National Magazine.
