AFRICAN RELICS.

Interesting Facts Related by . Returned
Missionary and His Wife.
African curiosities we've exhibited re-
Gently from the pulpit of the Central
Presbyterian Church. Rev. W. II. Rob-
inson and wife, returned missionaries
from Africa, were their owners. Their
first specimen was a cap made from a
monkey skin. The cap is made with q
long tail or trail hangingdown the back
like a Chinese cue. When the curious
head-dress was donned by the speaker
the merriment of the children was with
out bounds. and they rose from their
seats in a body and stood on the chairs
and benches to get a view of the strange
exhibition.
The speaker then attired himself in
the w~orking-dress of the native African.
This consisted of a square piece of cloth
with blue background, on which were
displayed grotesque floral designs with
q border of bright red.
The dress is wrapped around the per-
on a little above the waist and tucked
in at the top, leaving the neck and
shoulders bare. By a little modification
in the manner of wrapping the same
| garb is made to serve as a fashionable
dress. With this principal garment a
flaming red handkerchief is bound
about the head, and the toilet Of the
African swell is complete. Men and
| women are dressed alike, with the ex-
cept OF of the hair.
1.-THE woman's eoifure." the speaker
said. "can be better explained by my
wife. The hairs crispness is overcome
by a heavy ointment and rolled into a
series Of windrows, I call them, or
ridges about the head. The color Of the
hair Is almost lost in the luxuriance Of
the unguent. A tigers tooth is worm
on a string around the neck as a charm.
It is believed to DO a talisman to lead to
prosperity and guards the wearer from
all harm. The women wear bells on
their feet and as many brass rings or
bracelets as their arms will hold. The
rings are often so tight that the torture
inflicted is even as great as that which
fashion imposes on the fashionable
women of the civilized world"
Mrs Robinson, in speaking of the re-
suits OF the missionary work in Africa,
said: THE number Of converts is no
just criterion Of the progress we have
made In our work. There are. I be-
lieve, some six hundred converts all
told in the station of Gaboon, but that
number does not adequately represent
the amount Of good that has been
done. There are many difficulties in
the field, the trying climate, the iguo-
rance. Superstition and curious customs
of the natives. Polygamy is a great
evil there. The condition of women is
little above that of abject serfdom.'
Mrs. Robinson then told in graphic
style the story of a native who haG
been converted and was prosecuted by
his companions for speaking against {
even o than a religion.-PiAsdargl
