An African Belle.

In one tribe through whose territory
we passed after leaving Tanganyika,
Lieutenant Cameron found the women
much more regarded than is usual among
the Africans, and consequently they
were far more fashionable than the rest
of their sex in that happy country. One
of the bellies of the country is thus de-
scTibed in Cameron's journal "She is a
merry sort of q person, this Mrs. PAX
wanya, and really lady-like in her man
ners. 1t was great fun showing her a
looking glass. She had never seen one
before, and was half afraid of it, and
ashamed to show she was afraid. She is

and just above and in front of each ear

necklace of beads was around her neck,
and around her waist a string of opal
colored sinRgomsZzi and rope made of
red beads. Her front apron was Loop
ard skin and the real one of grass cloth,
with its fringe strung with beads and
cowries sewed on in a pattern; bright
iron rings were around her ankles, and
copper and ivory bracelets were on her
arms; her hair was shaver a little back
from the forehead, and three lines, each
about a quarter of an inch wide; were
painted below. The nearest one to the
hair was red, the next black and the next
white. Her upper lip was perforated

SOUTHERN HOME AND FARM.



A new mode of cultivating the potato,
as III. Calloigne calls it, consists in plac-
ing on soil, deeply dug or titled, halves
of ordinary-sizsd potatoes at certain in
tervals apart, or, better, entire potatoes
at greater distances asunder, and in reg
ular lines. The potato (Which is not
placed in a furrow) is covered with a
light layer of earth. In such good con-
dition OF ventilation it is not long in
penetrating the layer of mould, and af-
ter few days it is repeatedly earthed
up, to accelerate the growth. This meth
Cd Of planting is said to give very much
better results than the common method
of planting in burrows, and the potato
acquires its maturity before disease is
declared. The potato, coming originally
from Peru, country much hotter than
ours, requires (says M. Calloigne1 air
and heat for its development under good
condition; and the earth which surrounds
1t can only be regarded as a support, a
medium round which as much air and
heat should be made to circulate as pos
sible. To put 1t in a cool trench, com
pact and moist, is 10 hinder its growth
and reduce its production considerably,
also to subject it voluntarily to the most
troublesome influences of disease. The
London Garden remarks that this is q
good plan, but not new; being the mode
OF planting usually adopted in Ireland

Nutrition in Fruit.

R. E. Kedzie of Lansing, Mich, fur
nishes some facts and deductions from
analysis, showing the relative nutritive
value of fruit IS compared with other
foods. Taking the average of the more
common large and small fruits, they
contain from four-fifths to nine -tenths
water. They do not rank high for re-
pairing and building up tie human
body. An egg, weighing a little over an
ounce and half and contaiDina, seventy
seven grains of albuminous matter, is
equivalent in nutritive value to seYen>
teen ounces of heart cherries, twenty
two ounces of grapes, thirty ounces of
strawberries, forty ounces of apples, and
four pounds of pears. Heart cherries
contains only three-fourths water, and
have nearly double the nutritive value
of strawberries, which have more than
nine-tenths water. These, we may re-
msrk, are the result OF analysis, hut in
actual use, the case may be different, as
