OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN IN THE SOUDAN.
“Tlie Natives of the Mongalla distr’et.” says Mr. Edward Fothergill in his book “Five Years in 1.-he Soudan” (Messrs. Hurst and Blackett) “are of the Behn tribe lank and lazy They live largely upon fish which they
lance in tho water They do not appear to take a real interest, in an.} thing, but are quite contented to spin out their existence at the door of their miserable mud or straw huts. Their women are for the most part niserable and ill-nourished in appearance, and I think a great deal of tho lassirTudo of the tribe is due to the fact that they pass their night under the ban of the dread mosquitoes.”
