I was unable to find out any tradition of the importation of 
tobacco. 
Occupations . — Although the Waganda cannot be said to lead hard- 
working lives, all find more or less continuous employment, save those 
of the higher ranks. House building and fighting may be said to be 
the chief occupation of the men, and the cultivation of the ground, 
with household duties, that of the women ; but, as the sequel will 
show, a good number of the people of both sexes are engaged in 
various arts and manufactures. One thing only they will never do, 
and that is to tend or breed cattle (see later). 
The following is a sketch of the Wagandas’ daily life when at 
home : — 
A little before sunrise they get up, and wrap themselves in their 
mbugus and build up large fires for warmth. Pipes are then lit, 
and men and women smoke until breakfast is ready, it having been 
prepared by one or two members of the household. By the time 
breakfast is finished the sun is well up, and they then go about 
their several occupations until dinner time. After dinner they 
smoke again, and it is only the poorer classes and slaves who do any 
work in the afternoon. Ho work is done by anyone after supper, 
when the whole of the inhabitants sit round the fires, smoking 
and drinking beer, till 8 or 9 o’clock, when they retire for the 
night. 
Morals . — Judged by the standard of surrounding tribes, the 
Waganda cannot be said to have very high morals. There seems to 
be an underlying current of feeling that a man’s present life will 
affect his future state, but practically they do not seem to be in- 
fluenced by this feeling. A standard of right and wrong no doubt 
exists, and in many things strong public opinion condemns the 
guilty and rewards the virtuous. Popular legends to some extent 
keep alive this idea ; deeds of bravery or of cowardice are 
celebrated in tale and song, and children are early influenced by 
the recitation of such traditions, which doubtless help to shape 
their lives. 
The Waganda are liars, and consider it a virtue to be proficient in 
the art. It is thought wrong to steal, but it seems to be a much 
worse offence to be found out. On the other hand, the people are 
kindly and courteous, given to hospitality, and not avaricious.
