Happy New Year!

Another year has gone, and Father Time
Has tucked into his pigeon hole with care
Another manuscript and prose and rhyme
Folly and fact, are sadly tangled there
And now we take another Sheet pure
AS is an Angels wing, and grasp the pen
To write the New Years hating record, sure
That all our ink marks must confront us when
The wing Of years shall blow the dust away,
And from Times record book the Masters hand
Shall take dur manuscript all stained and gray
And read it so that all may understand:
So Write With care my brothers, through the years;
Lest all your Work be blotted out with tears

bountiful supply of rice, which can be bought in many
of the Indian stores at Mombasa. Chop-boXes, contain
ing go pounds of canned goods, will also be purchased at
Mombasa. Among these canned goods will be found
pears, peaches and apricots from California; picked
tongues from South America; corned beef from Aus
tralia and deviled ham and chicken from Chicago. An
extract of beef must be a favorite with the hunters, for
l saw many of the natives, whose ear lobes are abnor-
mally pierced, wearing a condensed milk can In one
ear and an extract of beef jar in the other; an abundant
supply of condensed milk Is necessary for the journey,
and plenty of tea, coffee and cocoa, especially tea. With
the rice one should take chutney, a hot sauce made in
India from the mango fruit mixed with red pepper. This
shutney is said to be a great preventative Of fever.
When starting from large towns like Mombasa or
Nairobi, the party will carry as food for the porters, a
large quantity of bananas, cocoanuts and long stalks Of
sugar cane. Some of the native tribes like the Wataveta,
the Wachagga and the kikuyu can live almost entirely
upon a few heads a day of common coarse maize or corn.
Along the way they will purchase from native vendors
round balls, resembling popcorn balls, made from a
mixture of white ants and cassava -four. This cassava
-four is beaten up in mortars and is made from the cas-
sava root, which grows in all the gardens. The natives
eat these puff balls with eager voracity.
For the white travellers there will be plenty Of chick

eat all the disjecta membra of any of the wild game

animals, which they roast over fires without removing

are wild boars In abundance. Elephant steak looks
something like corned beef but it is very tough. The

our October. A good warm overcoat will be much appre-
ciated up-country, in the cool of the evenings, and a light
macintosh for wet weather ought also to be included.
The caravan for one sportsman-if he intends going
far from the railways usually made up as follows,
though the exact numbers depend upon many consdera-
tions:
i headman ............... so rupees per month
L cook 35 rupees per month
1 gun bearer .................35 rupees per month
1 boy" personal servant) -. 20 rupees per month
2 Askaris EARNED porters) .....12 rupees per month
SO portes ...........,.......l 0 rupees per month
If there are five or six men in the party double the
porters and add a gun bearer and a personal boy for
each hunter. Thus If the president has a party Of six,
he will need about 70 men altogether. This would ne
cessitate about $50 pounds of rice a day. 1t is three
days across to Kilimanjaro, for example.
The sportsman is obliged to provide each porter with
a jersey blanket and water bottle, while the gun bearer
and boy" get a pair of boots in addition. A cotton
shelter tent and one cooking pot must also be furnished
for every five men.
The food for the caravan is mostly rice, of which the
headman gets three pounds per day, the cook, gun bearer,
"boy' and askaris IN pounds, and the ordinary p%orters
IN pounds each per day.
1t is the duty of the headman to keep discipline on
the safari caravan Journey both in camp and on the
march, and to see to the distribution and safety of the
loads, the pitching and striking Of camp, the issue of
posho (food) to the porters, etc. He always brings UP in
the rear of the caravan and on him depends the general
comfort of the sportsmen.
The cook is also an important member Of the caravan,
and a good one should be procured IL possible. 1t Is
wonderful what an experienced native m'peshi (cook)
can turn out in the way of a meal In a few minutes
after camp is pitched.
In camp the duties OF the askaris are to keep up the
IRE and watch at night, and to pitch and strike the
Ewana's (masters) tent. On the march one leads the
caravan, the other brings up in the rear; they give as
