Work Considered Degrading.

In Abyssinia the men think that they are
degraded IL they do anything but fight. ride
horse, or brew need. It Is considered
degrading for a man to market anything.
The women cut and store the wood. grind
the corn brew the beer, and make need from
the honey. Women Of the higher classes sell
dom do any work except to spin.
The best known Of the British South Afri-
cans are Bakwanos They are noted for
their small phyefques and laLiness. They
are too indolent to make weapons and do not
hunt. They live in sheltered places along
the coast and creep down to the sea to fish
and to collect anything edible on the shore
Work IL more popular among the forest
pdgulies, and hunting game is their chief
occupation. They hunt all kinds Of game.
which they secure with poisoned arrows
traps and pitfalls. The heavy game is caught
IN pits and the monkeys in shedlike struct-
ures covered with vines. They exchange
meat for sweet potatoes, yams. and cassava
Though most OF the African women bear
the family burdens, they do not complain
as that Is useless. II they refuse to work
their husbands beat them, trade or divorce
them, and sometimes kill them. This is
especially true of the Nandi in East Africa
These men give their cattle better lodging
give all their animals names and sit by the
hour talking to them. The women and chill
dren cultivate the fields alone. 1t is only
when the brush Is extremely heavy that the
men help them clear the ground.

Where Women
DoAn the Work.
By IRWIN ELLIS.

NRADE conditions are 30 advanced and
diversified in the United States and
Europe that 1t is dificult to realize the
fact that there are still some countries
where work Is carried on In primitive
way. But there are many countries where
trade 10 still carried on in a crude way and
where most Of tile work Is done by women.
This Is especially true OF Africa. Even in
those parts that have come in contact with
European influence the hardest work is
usually reserved for the women. Among the
negroes OF Guinea they perform most Of the
manual labor. Nearly every man has several
wives working for him. The women hoe the
gardens. carry great burdens on their heads
and paddle canoes.
At Kumassi nearly all the trading Is done
by women. Some work in the fields from early
until late. Others go to the market, where
they sell medicines, fuel, and primitive
kitchen utensils. When they are not barter
ing they are in the field planting maize and
yams. The men hunt game; they snare birds.
trap hsh, and make pits for the elephants
Both men and women carry the vegetables
and other goods to the market, but the men
are careful to return home early before the
great heat comes on.
Even lazier are the Hottentots of South
Africa. The men do absolutely no work ex-
cepr u care for the cattle and hunt. The
women do a great deal more than look after
their homes and children and work in the
fields They make straw baskets, mats, and
utensils, which they sell in the market There
are some smiths tanners, and tailors among
the men, and they trade among themselves
for cattle and armor which they make.

Women and Slaves Work.

The Damaras Of British South Africa
despise work and what is not done by their
women is left for the slaves. II asked why
they do not work they will answer with a
chuclrle. We need not: our wives cost us
nothing They build and plaster our huts
cook the food. and grow their own pigment"
Their only work consists Of trading with
their neighbors on the Congo. These trad
ing caravans are often made up of 500 oxen
and 100 persons The chief articles Of barter
are queer looking corseiets made Of beads
and ostrich eggs They know how much these
ornaments are priced. and a lively barter
often lasts for days. They are given meat
and iron ware in return, and these are used
az currency. On the lower Niger the women
do all the petty trading. When they make
up q caravan they carry the burdens on their
heads while the men follow on horseback.
On the Congo the bartering is done both by
men and women. and they are shrewd in driv-
ing bargains. The trading Is done in a large
square. Hundreds OF men are seen carrying
heavy loads on their heads. The women
and children are squatted on the ground
sorting their merchandise In one place
thsy are Ssting tobacco and lrola nuts. In
another peanuts and banana further on
Indian corn. cabbage and potatoes But thesr
chief trade Is In rubber and ivory. Women
are the principal traders on the Niger ax-
cept In deals involving slaves. cloth. and
ivory. The, trading Is done In q most print
tive way. The wares are placed on the
ground and than the owners 80 away. The
buyer advances and puts down his wares. II

Adding to Character.

And here Is suggested kind of addition
that has already been described In another
way. The man who laid the foundation of his
fortune by buying a horse, in the end could
command every part OF procurabIe service
he had added them to himself The man
who lays foundations Of character by adding
a succession Of right actions to right actions
has a power within himself that acts auto
matically in the performing Of mahy and
great services.
In learning to add whether horses or ha bits
you must begin with one plus one, in order to
make OF yourself the one plus thousands
This one plus one business, however seems
30 simple as almost to be not worth while
sometimes. Anybody can do It, Hundreds
OF men have testified that to save or get the
first hundred or first five thousand dollars
was the hardest thing they ever did. All after
that was easy. 1t is exactly the same In gain
ing ability as in gaining dollars-the first
steps are often the very hardest to take, the
foundation work the hardest to do. A great
many people would like to do this If it was
not for the long preparation, the long study
Of technique.
Let US say then. and say true, that simple
addition Is after all very hard, and great
multiplications very easy. It is more than
truth in the world Of accomplishment, II not
in the realm OF figures. Your earliest strug-
giles seem to yield you so little. But notice!
That little, once gained, seems to have a
sort Of momentum Of its own, and it will work
almost independent Of you like your horse
on the towpath, but always for you. You
must never forget that the very first ad-
didons, seemingly simple or not, are vitality
necessary to all the great operations of the
later time.
And finally, never be a pessImist and see
divisions and difrusions where additions have
really been made, or are being made. Said
the earliest Of our great English philosophers:
% The hour doth rather sum up the moment
than divide the day.
