WOMEN IN AFRICA.
Some Travellers Who Are Really Enthusiastic
Over the Charms of the Fair Sex.

Some Travellers Who Are Really Enthusiastic
Over the Charms of the Fair Sex.
New York Sun.
The explorer, Won Francois, was engaged
a while ago sketching an African village,
which was a little out of the common be-
cause all the houses were built on plat
forms which kept them out of reach of high
water when the river overlooked it's banks.
While engaged with his sketch, he says, his
attention was suddenly riveted by "a
black beauty Many Caucasian ladies, he
thinks, could well envy this primitive
maiden for her skill in the arts of coquetry
as she poised her head now on this side, now
on that, and paced dainty TO and fro along
the shore, using her big black eyes all the
while to the best advantage. One would
hardly notice the fact, he says, hat she was
very scantily attired so well was the lack
of clothing supplied by elaborate and beau
tiful tattooing and long strings of cowrie
shells, which she wore around her neck and
body, while a girdle encircled her waist.
Altogether, he thought, she was one of the
most picturesque and attractive objects he
had seen in Africa.
Several recent travellers have spoken in
quite complimentary and appreciative Ian
guage of some of the ladies they nave met
IN Africa. Becker had not gone inland one
hundred miles from Zanzibar before he was
expressing his admiration for the young
and really pretty negresses and their at
t~ractive FORMS" OF course, he had plenty
of opportunity to observe that their
a Jul anu ltkdnt IL III
are exquisitely nodded. and their forms
are quite perfect" Our brown beauties"
he adds, were not particularly shy, but at
the same time they were quite reserved.
They would ask us timidly for permission
to pass their hands over our skin, whose
wilderness astonished them, but they retired
in good order whenever we offered r%ecipro-
cally to pat their shoulders or cheeks"
Another traveller. who has just written a
description of several African tribes, thinks
that the poorest taste in the way of orna-
ments he has seen is among the Bayansi
women, who wear brass rings around their
necks weighing twenty-five to thirty
pounds. The flesh under these rings, he
says, is in many cases continually chafed
and raw, and for hours at a time tie women
support their rings on their hands in order
to relieve the pressure upon their necks.
And yet no well-to-do married woman
would think that she could exist without
her neck ring; and when they are asked if
this ornament is not a very uncomfortable
thing to wear they always pretend that
they do not understand. Brass is money
among the Bayansi, and the men. in having
it forged in big Jumps around the necks of
their wives. lave found a safe but rather
cruel method of money-keeping.

READING FOR THE SABBATH.
Patience with the Living.

Win HI Living
Sweet friend, when thou and / are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbour;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing,
what tender ruth shall we lave gained,
Alas, by simply dyingl
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
AND eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path will scatter flowers
About our pinowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I,
Ere love is past fOrgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home:
BE patient with the living.
T0-day's repressed rebuke may a
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet q nameless sorrow.
It's easy TO be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor:
And easy to discern the best,
Through memOry's mystic glamor;
But wise 1t were for thee and me,
Ere love Is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson homes:
Be patient with the living.

The Old Lady Knew it All.

A traveller once put up for the
night with simple-minded old
couple in a lonely farmhouse. AS
he rode up to the door he heard the
old woman say, In tone of deep
convictions:
"There! / knowed somebody'd
come before night, for ] dropped
my fork on the floor, this morning,
and it stuck straight up. Then l
dropped the dishcloth at noon--an-
other sure sign of commpany."
In entering the house he careless
ly struck his foot against the step,
and came near falling.
"AhW said the old woman, quick

surely after trial the one convicted
may be as good a witness as any.
Also if Ham were acquitted, no one
could pretend he is net good wit
ness. But the state hangs Pen
nington before he can get his witness
before the court, and purposely keeps
that witness out Of court. 1t also
hangs Hams witness before the day
of trial for Ham. This may be Gus
tomary but we doubt it, and know
it is not right. Certainly it will be
mockery Of justice to hang the
man before the case is fully tried,
while the state has all the parties

A PUBLIC BENEFACToA

"Who is II. II. Warner, of Roches
Ter, n. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have at
tanned such success and celebrity a
home and abroad ?"
The question is inspired as much b,
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored TO health and happi
ness.
Hon. II. II. Warner, then, is 8
leading and honored resident o.
Rochester, not only, but a prominent
and influential citizen of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as a National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,
he has been q member of the Repub-
can State Committee and OF its Exc
cutive Committee. He is a member
OF the American Institution for the
Advancement OF Science; President
OF the Rochester Chamber of Com
merce; successful and upright busi-
ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory of
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
muniticent prizes for the discovery of
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio floods, the fire dis
ssters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 TO IS 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds, he gives
hundreds and thousands.
Ills charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need OF more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
facture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, he was miraculously restored 10
health by what is now known as
warmers safe Cure. At once he re-
solved 10 make known the merits OF SO

is that to-day he has immense labora-

and their power over disease simply
marvellous.
The merit Of production is in ex.

man himself, Mr.. Warner makes

mensi efficacy and popularity.
