Didn't Live in Detroit.

Some Of the sheriffs in this State are
about as sharp as men can be made,
and the suspicious character who gets
away from them without proving his
identity and character has got to be
the slickest of the slick. In one of the
upper counties the other day the sheriff
got hold of a stranger whom he could
not work for all he was worth. and in
this dilemma he photographed to tie chief
of police OF Detroit:
Have John Doe in custody on sus-
picion. Does he live in Detroit?"
He wanted an answer in hurry, but
the chief concluded to give poor John
Doe the benefit of his silence. Detroit

HANDSOME AFRICANS.
How the Bangala Women Ornament Their
Arms and Shoulders.

Arms and Shoulders.
The Bangalas are fine race physic-
ally, being tall, powerful and splendid
ly formed, with features by no means
of the negro type; the women are the
handsomest l have seen in Africa.
Their dress is scanty, consisting for
the most part only of waist-cloth for
the men and short kilt of woven
grass for the women; but men of high
degree often wear mantles of dressed
goat or other skins. They cicatrize
their arms, shoulders and busts in
patterns by cutting the skin and inject
ing some irritant. Sometimes the re-
suit looks very well; but in other cases
the process is not successful, and
raises huge unsightly Jumps of flesh.
