The Way They Do in Africa.
The followingfrom a former Milan divine, now a missionary in Africa, appeared in last week's Leader and.prob-
ably willnot be the means of stimulating
any great exodus to the Dark Continent:
We are still toiling away with courage and patience; we have not^been
able to do much on account of sickness.
I went back in the country about a
month ago to hold a meeting. I got
poisoned by drinking bad water; it gave
me congestion of the stomach. I held
meetings a few days and the people
were very much interested, but I had
to return home on account of sickness; •
I am much better now. The next time
I go back I will take a water filter and
my own cocking pot. One town I went
to, they had just killed an elephant.
They gave me a piece to eat, I tasted
it and think it would make first rate
chewing gum. It is almost as tough as
leather.
The native is not very particular
what he eats, just so that he has enough
to fill up. I saw a boy stringing grub-
worms. I wondered what he was going
to do with them. Soon I saw him put
them on the coals and roast them and
the women ate them like an American
would strawberry shoi'tcake. Another
town I came to they killed a chicken;
a boy took the entrails and ran off with
them, I supposed he was going to throw
them away, but to my^ astonishment he
ate them with a seeming relish. They
gave me eggs to eat, many of them being rotten. These I would lay aside,
but the natives would eat them with
a great relish.
The African is very dirty about his
eating.' It makes me sick at my stomach every time I • eat food cooked in
their pots. They never half wash their
pots and every cooking a scum of dirt
is left. When food is octoked in them
it tastes of eyenytfiing that has been
cooked In the' pot before; so you see it
has quite a conglomerated flavor.. When
you see a woman wash her baby in a,
pot, and then cook your rice in the
same dish, it has a tendency to weaken your stomach as you eat it. But
such is life in Africa. I counfall these
things but joy that I may win Christ
end eternal life.
The native eats the elephant, ox, bison, deer, monkey, sheep, goats, snakes,
crawfish, hogs and alligators, the last
two, I think are the most unwholesome
meat they eat. Both are scavengers—
the one a land scavenger, the other a
water scavenger. AU is eaten but the
skin and bones, but the elephant's skin
is eaten and considered delicious.
They seldom chew their food; it is
thrown by the handful and when it
lodges in the esophagus it is washed
down with water.

From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hnrd, of Groton. S, D., we quote: "Was
taken with a bad cold which settled on my
Lungs, cough set in and finally terminated
in Consumption, Four doctors gave me up
saying I could live but a short time. I gave
myself up to my Saviour, determined "if I
could not stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent ones above. My
husband was advised to get Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles; it has cured me and thank God I
am now a well and healthy woman." Trial
