LAND OF VEILED MEN.
LONDON. Nov. 7.—Mr Francis Rodd, in a paper read to the Eoyal Geographical Society, described the nomadic Triaregs of" North Africa 'as a people governed by their Vomen.
"Tuareg women are as'free as women in England—if not freer," he said. ''They go about unveiled while the men 'are always -veiled. The 'women choose their husbands, teach the children to read and write, have men friends who are not relations, and give evening parties where poetical compositions are read. They can own property after jnarriage and through them caste and authority are inherited.", ,
