I The natlvvs of tiie Interior of Africa ; ire very Jlfferent from those of the coast regions who have absorbed the i worbt Miut civilization has to offer, yet ninny a traveler, touching only . the fringe of the. Dark Continent, builds his Ideas of Its people on those 1 corrupted by alcohol, European mor als, and the passion for gain either by fair means or foul. In the Hel- glan Congo, for example, where are to be met typical negroes of the trop les, one finds people who are frankly ( snvages, to be sure, with customs ills justing to the westerner but who 1 possess good traits for nil that. If the tribes are approached properly hardly one will be found which Is not nntunilly good-tempered, nnd In most Instnnccs hospitable and trustful. Stanleyville, the chief station In north-central Congo, was n few years ago a strange mixture of an Arab, European und negro town. Whntevei harm the Arabs may have done to the natives', nnd there Is no doubt that lc their slave-raiding expeditions they have slaughtered them by the thou sands, they certainly have taught them many n good thing. It was the Arabs who Introduced rice Madagascar po tatoes, beans nnd many useful plants. They hnve taught the nntlves clean liness nnd established schools In mnny centers. The town Is much used ns iu out fitting point for expeditions but nt times It is disappointingly short of supplies. In mnklng trips up tho Congo river from Stanleyville one must cross the river below the falls nnd hnve his luggage carted to u point on smooth wuter above tho cataracts. Queer Bambala Customs. Among the people of Congfi few possess stranger customs or present more curious contrasts than the Ham bala tribe, who live In numerous vil lages on the hanks of the Kwilu Jumbn river In the southwestern part ot the country. Each village Is under Its own chief, who holds the position by virtue of his wealth and Is suc ceeded nt his deuth by tho next richest man of the tribe. Ills principal func tion Is to act as money-lender to his subjects. No tribute is paid to the chief, but he hns n right to the ribs of every human being killed for food nnd to the hind legs of each animal killed during the great hunts. If a chief Is young enough, he nets as leader In war; otherwise one of his sons takes his place. Intorinqillnte between the chief and the ordinary freeman Is un hereditary class called murl, who may not ent human flesh nor yet the meat of fowls. They are distinguished by nn Iron bnicelet nnd n special headcoveiing of cloth, which may not bo removed by any one under penalty of death, even if the offender did not Intend to touch It The bracelet of a murl pnsses nt death to tio nephew (sister's son), who succeeds to the dignity, and tho heir must steal the skull' of his uncle. Tho corpse Is burled for somo two months, then the skull Is exhumed, painted red, mid placed In the house Its owner used to occupy. Tho nephew must gain possession of It nt night without being observed, and, after hiding it for a few dnys In the hush, tnko It home to his hut. If a murl Is killed In war, his brace let Is sent home, but tho skull has to be stolen ns before from the hostile village. The chief privilege of n member of this class Is tho right to n portion of each animal killed In hunt ing. Ordeal by Poison. In disputes, where two people of tho same vlllngo arc concerned, a poison ordeal Is employed ns Judge. Whether a man Is accused of witch I craft, parricide or of some minor of Climbing Parasite in the Congo. fense, he declares himself willing to take poison to prove ids innocence. The poison, which Is derived from the bark of a native tree, Is usually ground flue and mixed to u thick paste, from which tire made the small loaves and these are administered one after the other to the defendant. Dur ing the next fifteen minutes, If It Is a ciimj of witchcraft, the bystanders call on Molokl (tho evil principle) to come out. The poison usually nets very quick ly; It may kill the accused or cause purging or vomiting. The last-nanied effect alone Is regarded as a proof of Innocence. In the second ense tho prisoner Is compelled to dig n hole. He Is then given n fowl to eat and enough palm-wine to inuke him quite intoxicated. After this he Is laid In tho hole, or possibly goes nnd lays him self down,' nnd Is then burled alive In order to prevent Molokl escaping with his last breath. A largo llro Is kept nllght on tho gravo for two dnys, and then the body Is exhumed nnd eaten. An Innocent man Is carried nround tho village, decorated with beads, nnd his accuser pays u pig as compensa tion for the false chnrge. Decorated With Scars. In color the Hamhaln are very dark brown, the hair is absolutely black, and the eye n greenish black with a yellow cornea. The fuce Is not of the ordinary negro type, but much moro refined; thick lips, for example, aro quite exceptional, and only u Bmall proportion have flat noses. Tattooing is not common, but both men und women "decorate" them selves with ornamental scars. They rise above tho surface of the skin sometimes more than nn Inch. The ordlnnry food consists of manioc flour mnde Into a pnste with water and boiled. The lenves of the plant nre also eaten prepared with palm oil and pepper. Animal food Is not limited to goats, pigs, nnd other do mestic small fry, for, frogs excepted, everything helps to mako a stew, from nuts nnd grasshoppers up to man. Human flesh Is, of course, n special delicacy, and Its use Is forbidden tq women, though they do not disdain to Indulge secretly. Other titbits nr a thick white worm found In palm trees, locusts, rats, and blood boiled with enssava Hour. Human flesh Is not the only food forbidden to women ; they mny not eat goat's flesh, hawks, vultures, small birds, snakes, animals hunted with weapons, crows, or par rots. To the rule against flesh killed with weapons there nro two excep tionsthe antelope and a small rat. Rich people, who Indulge. In luxuries, cat kola nuts In great numbers. A kind of nntlve pepper Is known, nnd oil Is obtained from tho palm-nut. Hut the chief condiment Is salt, which Is mndo of the nshes of water plants. There Is, however, a strong preference for tho Imported salt, which Is In crystalline form as n rule, tho crys tals being perforated and strung on n string:, which Is dipped Into the food-pot. On n Journey salt Is eaten as n stimulant and salt water Is also drunk. As rcgn'rds animal food, If there Is abundance It Is simply boiled nnd ent en with the lingers.
