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 women as long as they live.
Frequently" says Lieut.. Won Fran
co.'s, zone 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-
comes 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 their weary
shoulders of the heavy burden. 1t may
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 fnu-Fhysiea development.
Once on, it is no easy matter to 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
1t 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

THE TWO WORDS,

One day harsh word rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped,
And. like sharp and cruel dart.
II pierced fond and loving heart;
II turned friend into foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe.
A kind word followed 1t one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
1t healed the wound, IL southcd the pain,
And friends of old were friends again;
II made the hate and anger cease.
And everywhere brought joy and peace.
But yet the harsh word left trace.
The kind word could not quite etface;
And. though the heart it's love reRained,
II bore scar that long remained;
Friends could forgive but not forget,
Or lose the sense OF keen regret.
Oh, II we would but learn to know
How swift and sure our words can go,
How would we weigh with utmost caro-
Each thought before 1t sought the air,
And only speak the words that move
Like white-winged messengers of love!

Miasmatic, or malarial disease has

of indicating its most strongly marked
forms, subdivided it into intermittent and
bilious remittent fever, dumb ague and
ague cake. But it prevents an infinite
variety of symptoms In different midi

will, always remember that Hostettefs
Stomach Bitters will snnihilate them at

any one Of the fact. This, however. is

of this grand anti-malarial specific are 9
