Natives Can't Resist the Pleasure of Slapping Y.otir Back. The Africans are the champion "fly swatters" of the world, and they need no Journalistic exhortations to urge 'them on to battle with the pest. When a native soeS a fly on a neighbor's back, says Mae Robert He Milligan, author of "The Fetish Folk of West Africa," he regards it as a duty of friendship to come up behlnd that neighbor slowly and stealthily. He gtves the fly full time to bite his worst, and so bo deserving of death; then he strikes an awful blow on the neighbor's back, that. brings him to his feet with a yell. The habit of killing flies, or at- icr_ertins• to kill them when they alight, is an obseesion with the native, It seerns a phyathel impossibility tor him to resist. He does it In cherch. When I first preached to a large congregation in )3atanga, I was very much disturbed by the unlooked-for and constant slapping on bare backs. Whenever I saw a men creep quietly across the aisle or forward several seats to perform this friendly office, I could not help watching until I heard the slap, and then I always felt like stopping the ' discourse long enough to ask, "Did you kill it?" Forgetting that the 'white man is protected by his clothing, the natives vie with each other in the discharge of this courtesy; and the exasper- ating blows that the white. man re- ceives from his black friends are the chief discomfort that he suffers from the larger flies. One day I wa.s sitting in an open boat when a native man behind me suddenly gave me a slap on the back that actually hurt., and nearly caused me to leap into the sea from surprise. A tew minutes later, when I was indulging init eomnolent reverie, he struck me again—I think It meet have been in the samegoece, it hurt so much worse than the first time; whereupon I turned round and told him that if he did it again I should land a blow in his stoinach, whether there was a ily there or not. My boat boys, who knew the uses of clothing,. and appreciated the menity of nay back 510111 517 bites as well -as the greater tenderneas'of the white man's body, laughed at this interesting diversion. Then they undeotook to enlighten their friend from the bush as to the white man's. point or view, combining theoretical instruction with practical sense by removing him to another seat; for they well knew that if he should see another fly on my back, even while they were talking to him, he would strike again. He could, not help it; the habit is coercive wile at Princes' Mansions," .. — 11Velbillk %.111A106.4106,006.1.11.%11, I HOME Dishes Prepared With Eggs.

Tele of His Experienciek In an En- tertaining Way fit a Louden Paper. .An Englishman With a grouch against Canada has been writing a eelies of articles as a special cone- = serener for London Anewers. Here are a few 'of the things he -says about us: • I usually shave neyeelf, so my dealings wieh the 'Canadian barbers wera mostly confined to geteing nay hair cut at 35 ore45 cents a time. But I had a shave once. It happen- ed at Vancouver. I went into a big- gish saloon just off Hastings Street. Silting down in the magnificently upholstered, revolving, tilting, and various -other -sorts -of -tricks chair I signified my desire for a have by draweng nay hand over my cheelee and chin. I never laid a Nvorcl from start to finith of the lengthy opera- tion of the Canadian shave. When the operator had got through with the various applications of the hot, wet cloth, the kneading, the rub- bing, the, lathering over and over again, a,nd the • shaving up and down, Withoub having succeeded in giving me anything like as clean a &have as I would get in England for twopence, I tendered him 25 • cents, "It's $2.60," he said, as he look- ed disdainfully at the Canadian "What for 1" 1 enquired. "You had face massage, the vi- brator, and ekin food applicaeion, as Well as the ',shave," he, replied. "Do you think I mistook this place ler 0 beauty•parlor 1" I ask- ed, sauvely. "I came in for a ehieve, and a ehave is all I am going to pay for." And the 25 cents was all he gob, though_ he clic' offer to "break my Lace" if I didn't part 'with $2.60. Metlioine Hat. At Medicine Hat I stayed in a third-rate hotel, and paid for nay room for 'a -week in advance, On the eeeond nighb I asked for my key at the office, and went to my room but as soon tits 1 opened the door 1 saw & lob of feminine appar- el lying aboub, and immediately re- turned to the clerk to get an ex- planation. . "That's right," he said, coolly. "I forgot that you had been moved when I gave you the key. You are No. 13 "But why was 1 moved after pay- ing for ,the rooml" I asked. "Couldn't help it," he sad, in- differently; "a guy and his wife blew in and wouldn'e have 13 be- cause it's only got a little window. Said they .wanted a front room, so I had to give 'ean yours." At another hotel in nt. small prairie town I didnee then up in the dining -room until a quarter -past nine, having been out since four taking a walk around the neighbor- ,. ood. The waitress and some of the r hotel servants were having ner. sate evn another table theft tereakne_c astf, at a table in a cor- and waited. --e, An OverrateleaCeounery. "Are you expecting "Itee_skfas the waitress asked, without•leetviel$ her 'seat. "Of ootirse I am," I replied. "Well, you ca.n'tb have break- fast; I" she seed, very. crossly, "The time is from slx le, inne." rrThsue's all right," I replied, cheerfully, as I got up and moved 'towards the .cloor. "I would rather have no beeakfweb for a week than make a peetey girl cross," I got 001110 breakfast after all. And now for a few eerMes worde to finish up wital.
