In the afternoon we went to the
country by canal in one of the small
native boats, not unlike a 'gondola.
It oras a beautiful trip, halms and
bamboo meeting overhead, native
houses in tiny clearing?, children
bathing, and heavily laden rice
boats passing to and fro.
The third morning we spew in the
of native markets, where they sell sil-
verware, jewelry, lacquer, fink, flow-
ers,
lowers, fruit.' etc., all in open -fronted
. shops with the proprietor sitting
tailor fashion in the" midst of his or
her wares. Itt the afternoon we
took a long motor ride, stopping
first at 'twat 'Peh Kati, and -on the
way home at the Butner Institute.
In the Institute garden they had an
inelosure, in which they keep venom-
ous snakes from whose fangs they
get the ,poison for the oerum. It
was the -first time I have row had
