The Big Roost.r.s INDIGNATION.

a disappointed barn yard fowl is often
as cross as if it could show its temper
after the manner of human beings. The
big dominique rooster was a very good
natured fellow with hens and Young
chickens, and he seldom resented having
kernels of corn, no matter how many,
snatched out from under his beak, when
it was done in a fair scramble. But if
he had begun to crow, and a kernel was
unexpectedly dropped where he certainly
would have got it, had he not been so
busy, it was too much to see his share
taken away by any other fowl. He fire.
auently pecked the offender as soon as he
Gould stop Growing and showed general
III temper for a few moments. His in
flgnation was 80 amusing that we fell
4nto the habit of teasing him in this way,
until, at last, the old fellow began to
practice choking down the rest of his
grow when corn was thrown in front o.
flm. Gradually he managed to stop
more and more quickly, and in the end
pc would swallow his voice with a gulp,
and snatch a bit of food as promptly as

Very Peculiar Wedding Rings.

Lieut.. Won Francois, the African ex-
plorer, has recently described a strange
custom among the Bayanzi, who live for
many miles along the Upper Congo. The
custom would seem to make life a good
deal of a burden to their married women
Brass rods, which are the favorite cur
rency in the country, are welded into
great rings around the necks of the
wives. Many of these rings worn by
the women, whose husbands are well to
do, weigh as much as thirty pounds, and
this burden must be carried around by
the poor M as long as they live.
Frequently" says Lieut.. o Fran
co.'s, ''one sees a poor woman whose neck
is raw and sore under the heavy weight,
and in places the skin is rubbed off by
the ring. This is a sure sign that the
ring has been recently welded around
her neck, for after a time the skin be-
m ~calloused, and then the strange
ornament produces no abrasion. But
the weight is an Inconvenience; they
never get used to it, and it is a perpetual
tax upon their energies. In every crowd
of women may be seen a number who are
supporting the ring with their hands,
and thus for a time relieving heir weary
shoulders of the heavy burden. 1t NAV
be said that with every movement of
their bodies the rings give them discom-
fort.
"a ring is never put around a wo-
mans neck until she is believed to have
attained her full physical development.
Once on, it is no easy matter t o get it off.
The natives have no such thing as a file,
and, though they can hammer a lot of
brass rods into one, it is very difficult
for them to cut the thick mass of metal
in two. Women who increase largely
in flesh after the rings have been fas-
tened on their necks are in danger of
strangling to death, and instances of this
sort have been known to occur.
"Yet these women regard the cum
brous ornament with pride, imagine that
it enhances their importance and beauty,
and wear the burden with light hearts.
Brass is the money of the country, and
by putting it around their wives necks
the men are pretty certain that it won't
be stolen or foolishly expended. But it
is an odd and cruel sort of a savings
bank. New York Sun.
