Mono Kialo was a sub-chief of the Baluba race, the great chief being Lupungu, four days' march to the southward, whom we afterwards visited. The Balubas are a fine, healthy, industrious race, the products of whose industries are to be found immense distances outside their own district. They are agriculturists, iron-workers, and clothmakers; the cloth made in this district being the money used by a great portion of the Arab settlements to the westward. Until quite lately they were not cannibals, and even now the men only eat their enemies who fall in battle. All the Balubas, both men and women, have their teeth filed and pointed; but though this is often considered a habit peculiar to cannibal races, I have noticed that it is by no means an invariable custom amongst them, and that many inveterate cannibal tribes do not make it a practice.
