conans Like Sand.
The bread of the Afghan caravan
was cooked by heating small round
cobblestones in the fire and then polk
ing them out and wrapping dough an
inch thick about them. The balls thus
formed were again thrown into the
fire. to be poked out again when cook
ed. The bread tasted we'll there in the
desert, although In civilized communi-
ties the grit and ashes would have
seemed uncomfortable.
After good fellowship had been es-
tablished the Afghans actually sold us

tional Geographical Magazine. The
camp where we used it a little later
happened to be beside the sandy bed
of a trickling salt stream. which was
drinkable in winter, but absolutely IN

Goals and smoothed the sand very neat

had made two large sheets of dough
about three-quarters of an inch thick

on the hot sand. Goals mixed with sand
were placed completely over it. and it
was left to bake Now and then an
edge was uncovered. and a Turcoman
smelled it approximately and raped
on it to see if it was yet cooked.
When the top was thoroughly baked
the bread was turned over and covered
up again. 1t tasted even better than
the Afghan bread after it was cooled
a little and the sand and ashes had
been whisked off with Il girdle. The

THE ZANZIBARIS.

Dense Stupidity and Amusing Blunders
Of tho Natives.
In the Autobiography Of Sir Henry
M. Stanley" the author says of the
coiored natives of central Africa:
Good as the majority of Zanzibaris
were, some Of them We're indescriba-
bly, and for me most unfortunately
dense. One man who from his personal
appearance might have been Judged
to be among the most intelligent was
after thirty months experience with
his musket unable to understand how
it was to be loaded He never could
remember whether he ought to drop
the powder or the bullet into the mus
ket first. Another time he was sent
men over river to camp. After wait
ing an hour ! strobe to thu bank Of
the river and found them padding in
opposite directions, each blaming the
other for his stupidity and. being in a
passion Of excitement, unable to hear
the advice of men across the river,
who were bawling out to them how to
manage their canoe.
another man was so ludicrously
stupid that he generally was saved
from punishment because his mistakes
were SO absurd. We were one day
floating down the Kongo, and, it being
near camping time. l babe him, as he
happened to be bowman on the occa.

On the bank to arrest the boat when

came to fit place. and l cried. Hold
hard, Kirango. Please God. master,
he replied and forthwith sprang on
the shore and seized the grass with
both hands, While we. of course, were
rapidly swept down river, leaving him
alone and solitary on the bank. The
boats crew reared at the ridiculous
sight. but nevertheless his stupidity
cost the tired men hard pull to as

available for camp.
