CEREMONY OF FRIENDSHIP.
.1 Missionary's Experience Witii as
African Chief.
In the little African village of
lladud-a, Dr, Gabriel R. Maguire,
missionary and lecturer, underwent
a cross-examinttion, and task part
in a state ceremony that probably
h,as few eoamterparts in the modern
world. Doctor Maguire, the story
of whose adventure appears in Fur-
ast and Stream, reached Madeda
after a long march through the
jungle and across the firat plateau.
On my arrival at the villargw, he
says, I was met by Mun'kamaduda,
the chief of the tribe, a sinewy fel-
low, seven feet in height, who had
never be.foa'e seen .a white face, He
first asked, through my interpreter,
whether I .vas -11 white moan. A1 -
though the reply is obvious, the
chief did not appear to be'thorough-
ly satisfied with it. He seethed to
be under the impression that 1 was
a spirit, a•nd he was very much con-
cerned whether 1 had ever 115,1 a
mother. When he bad satisfied him-
self on that score, he asked if 1 had
a father. He then wanted to know
if my :father was as tall Dal, and on
being informed that 'lie was about.
the same height, the was equally so-
licitous to ascertain the relative
heighb of my mother 'compared with
my Mather. He next asked my in-
beaspreter if I was not the great
white spirit that seen said would
one clay pass through his territory,
I replied that I was not a spirit,
but that I had come to teach the
black man about the Great; ylpii'it.
The result• iwas hardly what I had
anticipated, The chid gave pre-
digious .leap into the air, .and when
he alighted, started to run ; to use
the vernacular, his feet touched
only the high places as he sped from
my ,presence, My interpreter under-
stood the meaning of this perform-
anee, and informed the that I had
made a grave mistake. It seems that
the African native regards spirits
ns being essentially evil. My at-
t•emdant informed me that the chief
had gone to get his foreman, and
tha-t'he w•old be b'aek directly. Soon

was first to come to a definite coo -

to other men he have seen. He nada
the remarkable dis every that the
feet of the white man were black,
and that' he did not have any toes.
In order to disillusion him, I re-
moved my shoes and stockings, re-
vealing the five toes on each foot.
Both the chief and foreman, who
had 'been holding a serious discus-
sion about my pedal extremities,
seemed perfectly satisfied after to
careful inspection. Assured that niv
mission was a peaceful one, the po-
tentate and his henchman made ar-
rangements for eating the disia of
peace ee the following• day,
Attended by leis followers, the
cthief appeared at the appointed
time, and the natives, :forming
themselves into a circle round the
chief and myself, waited with great
solemnity for the ceremony to be
consummated. The first glance at
the dish of peace was neatly enough
to make me prefer war. It was
composed of cooked. field rats; and
they were not fresh field rats at
that. They 'lace grown putrid with
age, and they were surrounded by
a mess of beans that was almost
equally uninviting. I steeled my-
self for the ordeal. The chief rail-
ed some- of the beans to his mouth,
and, smacking his lips with pleas-
ure, said something which me- in-
terpreter informed me meant,
"Peace to the white man ! pence
peace : peace :" In sheer despera-
tion, 1 ate some of the beans, and
replied, "Peace to the black man
peace : peace ; peace :" The chief
then ate some of the meat, anci
waited for me to do the satire; but
it was a little more than I could
stand, even for the sake of peace.
I told him, through my interpreter,
that the white man never ate rats,
but that he would drink the eup of
peace. To my great relief, the chief
was willing to accept this compro-
mise, and the cup of ,peace was.
quaffed, thus ending the ceremony:

Suddenly realizing its freedom,
the beast usually starts in wild
flight toward tete ring of rpectaturs,
only to halt tbcfore the impenetrable
array of gleaming spears. From
side to side of the. ring it bounces,
always met 'bv the same inlpaesaaale
barrier, until 'finally the real (115"r
fighters, each armed only with i1 e.
lance, enter the ring, LTsuttlh•
there are two or three, bet fighters
of the first rank Clare to enl•utanter -
the enraged animal unsupported
and alone.
They watch the moment in which
the tiger crouches for its spring,
and kneel low, with a tense. peep
of the spear, which they point to-
ward the tiger in latch a malmer
that he cannot help impaling h}.ma
self on rt; beside the courage that
moment calls for, the vaunted skill

is Che veriest child's play for the
charge of the great beast may be
so fierce that it knocks the lance
aside, and then there is nothi.ngbut
the spears of the other men to save
the tiger fighter from •tea ag killed

A Bridge of the Dead.
"Let me tell • you 'an incident
which will give you some idea of
how the Germans respect their
dead," said an .osrapecl prisoner in
France. "On the second day of our
captivity we saw with our own eyes
a bridge which they have made over
a stream. There were n:u sappers
with the party, and no wood or
other materials out of which aL
bridge could be made in the ordin-
ary way, "So they sank the bodies
of their dead to the bed of the
stream, Fastening weights to them
'tu keeip them in ,place Imyself saw
them put fifteen bodies in the wa-
ter, till the top ora stood well
above the surface. Then next these
another tier, and so on, till the
gruesome causeway was broad
enough for an infantry 'division to
cross, I give you my ward that,
awful as it seems, ,that was whet I
saw and map friend here, who was
with me, will tell you that ,there is
no word of exaggeration in what 1
saw."
Chiuiees el.' Living.
Alfred J. Lotka, in the Scientific
American, makes an interesting
calculation of a man's chances of
living through 'the war, He sup-
poses an army of 250,000 men, who
engage in a battle and lose 50,000
killed .and wvouncled. Tihe ranks are
at once refilled., and; it fights a sec-
ond battle with i'mihar losses, It
goes on and fights five such battles,
its ranks being filledup as before
after each battle, At tete end of
the fifth battle there will be 81,920
left of the original 250,000, There-
fore, 3t would take an infinite num-
ber of battles to kill off every man
alio int first stood in line,
"We're nob going to have much
of a wedding. Jack •acrd I want to

Even in resisting tetnptatio,i
