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

An interesting article in the Wide
World Magazine is entitled Two Girls
in Japan" by Irene Lyon. Here is Miss
Lyons account:
The bath itself-which looked like a
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 a vigorous application of
soap, we began TO scrub ourselves, it
suddenly occurred 10 us that such a
proceeding was not etiquette" out of
consideration 10 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 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 10 block VI = e

fore she could prepare for another eff

Immediately proceeding to kill and cut
open the camels, he took the water out
of their stomachs and gave 1t to the
pony, which revived sufficiently to
struggle to the wells. After a few
days rest it completely recovered.
Hassau added that he could very soon
get some more camels, and that he
would rather have cut the throats of
hundred than have lost his pony.

source in native, but the life So.
mali leads makes him wonderfully
quick at finding a way out of a fix OF
this kind. II 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 1t has ever been my luck to come
across. Hardly a 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. II 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

fortnight Besides lions there was
more game than-I have ever seen any
where else. Large herds of hart

were a good many ostrlches and few

Shooting Lions with Poisoned
Arrows.

Lions are occasionally killed by
Midgans, but the poison on the arrows
cannot be very strong. as frequently,
after being sick two or three times,
the lion seems to recover and get
away. Captain Swayne gives an ac-
count of the way In which these Mid
gans hunt the oryx with their dogs.
But to get on with my story. The
little Midgan carried a bow nearly as
long as himself, and was followed by
about a dozen small native dogs with
curly sterns and prick ears. These
little ours were wonderfully broken.
The man trotted off in front of us,
and when he got near the place where
he had seen the lions he simply put
out his hand, and all the dogs lay
down in a bunch and never attempted
to follow on after us. Then we stalked
carefully towards a big thorn tree ris-
ing above the bush. THIS was where
the lions were said to be. The bush
was very open, and when we came in
sight of the tree the lions were Just
decamping. There were four of them,
not five--an old lioness and three
lions, perhaps not quite full grown,
and with very little name Hassan
had followed close behind on his pony,
30 | shouted to him to try and keep
his eye on the lioness, and ran on my
self with Abdulla after one of the
lions, This one did not seem much
inclined to run, and after short
burst managed to get a bullet into
him somewhere just as he disappeared
into some thick bushes.
At that moment we caught sight of
another lion trotting along parallel to
us about 200 yards off. The wounded
one was keeping up a continuous low
growing in the bushes, so, thinking
he would not get far away we ran TO
cut OFF the other. He turned off when
he caught sight Of us, and We had
long, stern chase after him as a re-
suit OF which / was so blown | could
not hit him. although he was lobbing
along not more than 100 yards ahead,

them. but they were much too quick
for him with his broken shoulder, and
were at him again directly he re-
treated to the bush. The little Mid
gan and one of my men were close
by, yelling with excitement AS |
walked up to try to get a shot with
out hitting one of the pack, the lion
took no more notice of the dogs, but
kept his eyes fixed on me. ! never
saw lion look nastier, but suppose
his broken shoulder had sickened him.
Midgan, after calling his dogs, had
run on after us, and had come on the
wounded lion, We skinned this beast,
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-1esh he 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

he had brought her round in circle
towards the place where he had left
us. riding alongside of her and shout
ing to let us know where he was.
Unluchily she crossed the track of
the wounded lion, and after smelling
at the blood she became perfectly un.

and charging him whenever he got
in front to ,y to turn her. At last
she had gone into the thick bush on

This may sound exaggerated praise of

him. Owing to his skill in tracking

of many that were hit, and that was
not his fault. as the blood stopped al
most directly and the ground was
nothing but stones for miles. This
speaks for ITSELF as any one who has
shot lions knows how difficult 1t is to
recover a wounded beast without dogs.

cutting ii up. when the smallest So
mali have ever seen came running
up to say he had just observed five
lions asleep under tree close by.
This man belonged TO the low-caste
tribe of Midgans-people who do not
live together in one tribe, but are
scattered all over Somaliland in differ
ont villages, where they are chiefly
engaged in killing antelope for meat,
other Somalis, as a rule. thinking It
below their dignity to do anything but
go out occasionally on looting expedi-
lions. Midgans are armed with bows
and poisoned arrows, and each of
them carries knife. Until quite
lately no other Somali would use a
bow, but now it is quite a common
thing to meet a native belonging to
another tribe who has discarded his
spears for bow and culver of
poisoned arrows.
