for by the payment of goats. Even if under the
new dispensation he wears European trousers, he must have a piece
of goat's skin underneath. Married women wear a tail of strings
behind." It is very bad manners for a woman to serve food to her
husband without putting on this tail. (Sir H.H. Johnston, _Uganda
Protectorate_, vol. ii, p. 781.)

Mrs. French-Sheldon remarks that the Masai and other East African
tribes, with regard to menstruation, "observe the greatest
delicacy, and are more than modest." (_Journal of the
Anthropological Institute_, 1894, p. 383.)

At the same time the Masai, among whom the penis is of enormous
size, consider it disreputable to conceal that member, and in the
highest degree reputable to display it, even ostentatiously. (Sir
H.H. Johnston, _Kilima-njaro Expedition_, p. 413.)

Among the African Dinka, who are scrupulously clean and delicate
(smearing themselves with burnt cows' dung, and washing
themselves daily with cows' urine), and are exquisite cooks,
reaching in many respects a higher stage of civilization, in
Schweinfurth's opinion, than is elsewhere attained in Africa,
only the women wear aprons. The neighboring tribes of the red
soil--Bongo, Mittoo, Niam-Niam, etc.--are called "women" by the
Dinka, because among these tribes the men wear an apron, while
the women obstinately refuse to wear any clothes whatsoever of
skin or stuff, going into the woods every day, however, to get a
supple bough for a girdle, with, perhaps, a bundle of fine grass.
(Schweinfurth, _Heart of Africa_, vol. i, pp. 152, etc.)

Lombroso and Carrara, examining some Dinka negroes brought from
the White Nile, remark: "As to their psychology, what struck us
first was the exaggeration of their modesty; not in a single case
would the men allow us to examine their genital organs or the
women their breasts; we examined the tattoo-marks on the chest of
one of the women, and she remained sad and irritable for two days
afterward." They add that in sexual and all other respects these
people are highly moral. (Lombroso and Carrara, _Archivio di
Psichiatria_, 1896, vol. xvii, fasc. 4.)

"The negro is very rarely knowingly indecent or addicted to
lubricity," says Sir H.H. Johnston. "In this land of nudity,
which I have known for seven years, I do not remember once having
