EXPERIENCES IX HEART
OP THE DARK (XJXTIXENT
Be!ow wo reproduce an interview
whica appeared In the l-.ondon
Standard of November 20,
1913, describing the British
East Africa experineces of
Mrs. mount, p. R. G. S., F. R.
F. A, the inly warn; u in the world
upon whom these degrees have
ever been conferred. Mrs. Blount
is now a guest at the I'ulleu Mouse,
having arrived on the Princess So
phia Wednesday. She will leave
in the morning for the interio".
and cut by the way of Nome and
the Bering sea:
Hovf an Englishwoman visited a
native village in the heart or the
Dark Continent where an epidemic
of bubonic plague was raging, and
spoke to savages who had never
seen a white woman before, was
told by Mrs. Blount, P. 11. G. S.
P. R. P. A., in a lecture in Caxton
hall, Westminster, on her trav
els lu British Africa ami
round Victoria Nyauza. The lec
ture was illustrated by remarkable
photographs taken in the wilds,
when native runners wore cngago-l
to convey the pi lies from tho camp
to the nearest station to bo de
veloped—sometimes ;i distance of
more than sixty mile On the lake
Mrs. Bloun' lost a nufliber of photo
graphic pkites which melted owing
to the heal.
Mis Iilouut went out to Africa
with u small party, but later in the
trek she left her companions anil
'vent rounrl Lake Victoria Xyanza
alone, visiMng places where no
white woman hail over been. In one
instance th> women of a tribe crowd
ed round her and began to pull her
ears to see if they were real, and
were also so luquisiiivo as to ask
whether her feet were white also.
The cars if the natives wore so
distoWcd by the practice of boring
that they were unacquainted with
one of natural shape. "We landed
at Muni basil," said Mrs. Blount to a
Standard rcpn ntatlve, "and tooU
urn, after which we went on to Saf
ari, which means going into the
wilds. On the way uj> in the train,
when near Tsavo, we had a curious
experience with lions. Four of
them—the parents and two well
the Hue, and as t ie train wont past
they pot up and yawned as if they
wore utterly bored. 1 wae told that
the r.ianeh'ss lions trere much more
fierce than those whk\ had manes,
and the settlera in that district
kill :u »>y laying strychnine on th
carcases of animals which have
been killed by l.ona. If a lion' kills
a buck or a zebit may only eat
half and will return the following
day for the remainder, and the
settlers know this. There is a
peculiar law among these uiimals
that one lion will not eat the re
maining portion of another's prey.
"At Bukola, which is a German
-
ed together. Every morniug these
men go down to bailie together,
and carry water back to the station.
It Is here that the women make
that peculiar bark cloth which is
becoming so scarce, and, like other
native arts, will soon die out alto
gether with the ; i proa< U of civiliza
tion. The cloth Is not woven. The
women sit round in crowds all
day long •■hewing the bark until it
13 in a peculiar condition. Then it
ia pounded it; a mortar, atvd rolled
out. A pattern ^ stamped on It,
and it Is ready; for use. Thq bark
is that of the wild fig tree.
"It tak^s eleven dajn to go rouad
the lake, and \%hen we r<}ach«d
Mwanze, the most southerly place,
we fotnd that bubonic plague had
broken out, and was raging in the
native village. I wanted to see the
people, however, and took the risk
of going among them, but, luckily,
I did not catch the disease. On
[the shores o* the lake the natives
do tiifir washing by banging the
clothps and mate on stones. Once
there were more women than stones,
and two of them banged their
washing on the back of a dead
crocodile that lay at the edge of the
lake. In the market places girls
were sold daily to neighboring na
tives who wanted brides. These
■jirls, whose ages ranged from 15
to 20 years, were chained to th?
wall, of a house juat like cattle,
and I saw a bargain being struck
by the father of a girl wth a native
who wished to buy her. The pros
pective bridegroom, who had sever
al wives already, offered to pay
livo cows, 20 rupees, and six sacks
of rice, bat the old man wanted
more. They seemed about to fight,
so heated did tha argument become,
tut at last the price was accepted.
The father then unchained his
daughter, and with every expression
of anser threw the end of the
chain towards his future son-in
law, who caught it and took off
his prize. They were both dreadful
looking creatures."
Among the Kikuyus, who inhabit
tlie cast sldo of Victoria Nyanza,
Mrs. lilount d'scovered aome curious
marriage customs. For four days j
before the wedding the bride be
comes hysterical and shrieks and j
dances as it she w°re objoctiug to
the marriage. This is a custom
that is always adhered to, and
for tin four days the pandemonium
is continued till her friends are
thoroughly disgusted with her be
haviour. On the fourth day she is I
takeu by her mother and annointgd
with nn evil-smelling oil and the
bridegroom Is invited to come and I
take her away. This he does while |
the maiden continues her protests.
It is Mrs. Blount'c intention to
start »n an expedition into th<j
1 cart of South America after Christ
mas. In the meantime she is going
to deliver a lecture on Panama,
which she visited during the cutting |
of thf groat canal.
A KINDLY REMEMBRANCE
FROM G. A. PEASTER
G. A. Pcaster, Alaska traveler
for Bonnie Bros, of Louisville, Ky.,
distillers of Old Trenton, Joel B.
Frazier, Nelson Club, C. C., Bonnie
Rye and Riverda'e whiskies, tha
other day sent .Tuck Flaherty of
tho Board of Trade saloon, the lo
cal agent, an order to supply the
editor of the Daily Alaskan free of
charge with a quart bottle of the
beverage that exhllerates but does
not queneh the thirst.
Tuck proved to be "Johnny on
the Spot" and yesterday brought us
in an extremely neat and appetiz
ing locking sample of the dimen
sions abovo described, but which
we have not as yet had time to
examine more closely than at arms'
length.
Thanks.

SEATTLE MAX IN HAINBS
SIZING UP SITUATION
Haines, August 6—E, Cruso of
Seattle is here looking over the
field with the Intention-, If he finds
things favorable, of making arrange
ments for the shipment of the lo- !
cal farm produce to that city.
In company with Tim Vogol he j
has been out for several days vis- I
itlng the ranchers In this vicinity |
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not th«y would be will
ing to consign their shipments to
him Su the event of his deciding to
engage in the business.
On Thursday Messrs. Cruse and
Vogel went, over to interview the
larmers in tlio Davidson glacier reg
ion aiid it is more than probable
that the former will have satisfac
tory arrangements made with theu
before his return to Haines.
Mr. Cruse is very optimistic in j
regard to the shipping of all kinds
of vegetables and berries from ,
this vicinity to Seattle, and if the i
people who-are interested will join
hands with him and do tlicir part
this town will shortly become one
c>f the most important places in
the territory.

People with kidney ills want*. to I
be cured. When 0110 sufi'em the <
tortures o£ an aching back, relief ]
is eagerly sought for. There are |
many remedies today that relieve, <
but not permanently. Dean's kidney '
Pills have brought lasting results
to thousands. Ilero is proof of
merit from this vicinity.
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer, Room G, Capitol Hotel lildg.,
Salem, Oregon, Bays: "I had kid
uev trouble and rheumatism for ton
yaers and sometimes I was laid up.
Doctors did not help me. Sharp
pains extended through my back
and were most severe it my kidneys
and loins. Often when working, I
had to give up. I lest weight and
wi-s in very poor health. I had
headaches, rested but little at night
and did not know what to do. On a
friend's advice, I tried Doan's Kid
ney Pills and to my surprise, they
brought a great improvement in a
few days. I continued to get bet
ter steuuily. I got more sleep, my
appetitH improved and the pains
gradually, but sure'.y left me. After
1 bad used three boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills, I was in better health
than I had been for ten years and
uot a sign of kidney complaint re
mained. The cure has been perm
anent. I gladly confirm the en
dorsement I gavo Doan's Kidney
Pills several years ago."
