Show How Africans Bear Pain. H A writer in Central Africa give H these Illustrations of the fact that the H black man Is much less susceptible M to physical suffering than his white H brother. A Makua whose foot had H bnen amputated was found the day af- M tor the operation out of bed on the hospital floor, using the stump for H progression. A Yao who bad had H three fingers removed stole away the M next morning to go on a machlla Jour- H ney of some weeks, using tho dam- H aged hand freely. So, too, the oxpedi- H tlons of 1895 against the slave-deal- H era brought to light many instances H of this callousness. Shells fired into a stockade unfortunately do not dls- H criminate between men, women and M children. They wound all alike. At H Mlozl's women mortally wounded H were to bo seen going about picking- H up firewood, drawing wator and at- H tending to their physical wants, worn- H en who the next day .were dead. A M little girl whose leg was amputatod H made her way to a pool, where she sat with the stump dangling in the H water, which sho was splashing over H it with her hands, singing all the tlmo H as though nothing was amiss. .H |
