MARKET TERMS. 79 pound of tobacco; they are half filled with glowing embers and half with tobacco; perhaps the carbonic oxide increases the soothing effect of the tobacco. The most singular pipes I have yet seen are those used by Unyoro magicians; a huge twin bowl, ornamented all over with short conical spikes, is fastened to a short heavy stem. .

In addition to tobacco, coffee-chewing is also indulged in in Unyéro and Uganda. ‘The coffee-tree grows in the southern ' portions of both countries; it resembles the tree I have seen in Southern Arabia, only that the leaves of the kind which grows here are larger. The pods are gathered when still green, dipped in hot water and dried in the sun, and then sold and consumed without further preparation. Many per--sons, however, partially roast the pods. The taste of the pod is peculiarly aromatic, and causes a slight secretion of saliva; I could never discover any other effect; on the contrary, the natives maintain that a couple of coffee-berries will drive away hunger, and likewise that the berries are a remedy for over-indulgence in mwénge. It is customary among the better classes to offer one another a few coffee-berries.

Articles, when offered for sale in the market, bear names entirely different from those in everyday use. Whereas the ordinary word for tobacco is “taba,” it is called in the markets here “irkdbwe.” Phaseolus lunatus, usually “ wnverdngo,” is called “btuma;” and bananas, usually “bitdki,’ are called “ kahénda.” I cannot at present venture to decide whether we have here to do with words borrowed from another language (the original language of the country, or the Galla idiom) or with mere provincialisms. The latter is improbable, for, later on, people in the Kiktnguru Mountains, who live at a considerable distance, and have no connection with Unydro, identified the words when I mentioned them. Besides those given above are the following :—Viakdnga (mwénge), a drink made from bananas ; juru (megita), butter ; rwmdmoro (ayata), sweet potatoes; rengua (munyw), salt; kydnyoa (nydma), meat ; kabumba (busidnt), flour; udtvua (mudri), coffee; karamanydz0 (som), a spear; kizvéko (mbugu), bark cloth. The names enclosed in parentheses are those in daily use.

Among the crops cultivated in Unyéro are yams (bira?),
