Where Unmarried Women
Wear Ear.StlCks.

The Wakikuyu people of East At
rica are known as the Kikuyu and
Akikuyu, and inhabit the Kikuyu
hills, one of the most beautiful, fer
tile,and economically important parts
of the British East Africa Protecto-
rate, not far from Nairobi. These
people have rich farms, a great va
riety of food to eat, and are very
fnely-built race. The good looks of
the women, however, are often spoilt
by their curious custom of shaving
their foreheads in order to make
room for the headstraps to which
they attach their loads. These peo-
ple have many curious customs.
they are very frightened Of the spir-
it's Of the dead, for instance. and
when any one of them falls i'll and
is at all likely to die, the poor suff-
erer is at once put out and left to
the mercy of the hyenas, entirely
deserted by the rest of the tribe.
The unmarried women wear sticks
through their ears as a sort of badge,
while the married ones sport bum
ches of bangles.-From the Noyem-

monotony of the hours a travelling
man must spend ON the road and
in hotel bedrooms and parlors, where
the travelling public is supposed to
find substitute for home. A trav-
cling man will do silly or desperate
things just to escape for an hour
Or two from this awful boredom. He
will play the stupidest games, tell
and retell the stalest jokes, go to
the cheapest entertainments or the
vilest houses. He usually reads a
good DEAL. and he reads pretty near
ly anything. 1 have known of trav-
cling men who fshed out and pored
over old newspapers from the bot
toms of bureau drawers in their
hotel bedrooms, or who borrowed To-
cal telephone directories and read
them from cover to cover-names,
telephone numbers, and all-just to
pass away time. These and plenty
of other travellers are the people
whom the Gideons reach. Thanks to
them, a traveller can find ready for
him on tables or bureaus in 10000
rooms, a complete library of sixty
six books. 1t is no 'five-foot shelf
