In the French Nigerian Court of Sultan Barmous, Mohammedan traditions are carefully preserved. The Sultan has his dinner served in solitary state under a great mango tree, while the Court musicians, whoso duty it is to entertain him, play with backs turned, since no one must see him eat. Some of the horses used by the mounted police in Condon are valued at W rvuch as £SOO each.
