periences would ill volumes. ] only pur-
pose, however, giving an outline of what
know of that wonderful country, whose
division among the leading European pow
ers is just nov attracting the attention of
the civilized world.
Nature has made Africa beautiful coun-
try, and it has no more beautiful part than
that in which my missionary laoors began.
l found many agreeable surprises among
the kroos, who are the seamen of the west
coast, doing the work of loading and un-
loading the ships and steamers that come
there. On the entire west coast, after
Bathurst on the Gambia river, there are no
wharves, and the cargo has to be sent to
the vessel III small boats and received in
the same manner. l found the Kroos
fnely-b built, brave, independent race of
free men, who, although they never were
slaves themselves, yet held many slaves of
other tribes, whom they acquire by pur-
chase. A kroo has a broad, blue-black
mark down the entire length of his fore
head, q tribal mark; the clothing is simply
q loin cloth for the men, the women wear
ing cloth fastened around the hips by
turning the ends under, the garment itself
extending down as far as the knees. The
rest of the body, which is bare, is frea
quently decorated with stripes of blue
and white clay, presenting a somewhat
startling appearance. The Kroos have
many things in common with other

There is very little of it to do. The houses,
as rule are made of plated bamboo,
matched with leaves, with clay floor and
a fire built in one end of the house. The

A word about Liberia. The capital Of
the Lone Star Republic, Monrovla, lies on
cape that terminates in headland $50
feet above the Atlantic level. Its base is
washed by the sea. The republic itself is
modelled after the American republic, and
it embraces not only the American Libe-
rians. but several hundred thousand ma
tives or aborigines, /. e. heather, with
whose habits or customs, however, no IN
reference is attempted so long as these do
not conflict with the laws After the cleo
ton of Mayor Williams (all the officials
and property holders are negroes), he pro-
hibited the natives of Monrovia from APP
pearing on the streets without clothing.
Previous to this order the men generally
had worn a shirt and loin cloth. Now, the
women had to 'sdress" but they were not
altogether particular about their toilet or
as to strictly following the modes. A mans
undershirt, with a hip cloth, represents the
average wardrobe of the native woman
answering every purpose and meeting the
demands of the law. The MonrovlanS all
dress very well.
Liberia has many natural advantages,
but needs capital and enterprise. 1t is a
n stIral rice growing country and the rainy
season obviates the necessity of flooding
the growing rice artifcially. Coffee, sugar
cone. arrow-root, ginger, cocoanut palm
and the palm from which palm oil is made;
the cacao or chocolate producing tree; rub
Der, the sole right of which was given
by the last legislature to an
English company for 100000, and
other valuable staples are among the
products. The schools are backward, ow-
ing to the absence of qualified teachers and
of buildings and furniture and books.
There is no coin in the country other than
copper one cent and two cent pieces The
paper currency is not accepted outside of
the republic, and there is not full
value on it even there. The Liberians to
blame! Yes and no. Americans and the

has been for ages the scene of bloody tribal
wars, place of plumber for the slave
catcher and of rapine and murder.
The railroads up the Congo and in North
and South Africa develop the Industries
and resources of the country, and bring in
civilization, with its benefits and its at
tendant vices. Some of the African rail
roads, it is but fair to state. are rather
mythical. read in publication recently
that there were over eight hundred miles
of railroad in Liberia, whereas the fact is
there is none yet even projected. This is
on par with the statement of some won
derfully wise explorers who tell US that
there are no Kong mountains. Such state
ments simply mislead the map makers, and
it is not TO be wondered at that they are
busy readjusting their maps after every
new exploration.
Everywhere among the African natives
who have not come under the influence of
civilization polygamy prevails. 1t is the
universal custom. Men have as
many wives as they can afford to
buy. A girl baby is usually spoken
for'' Immediately after birth, very often
by an old man, who wishes to add to the
number or his spouses. He pays for her
on the installment plan, and he dresses her
meanwhile; that is he furnishes her ear
rings, brass ankletS and armlets, beads
and leopalds teeth. A common practice is
to take the child and put her in training
under the head wife of her future husband.
Ordinarily, when the last payment is made,
she becomes the wife of the buyer without
further ceremony; but there are different
customs among some of the tribes. After
being bought, the wife is subject to her
lord and master and is virtually his slave.
In those places where the gospel Is
preached, this state of matters has been
changed, however, and woman's status
improved. She is then treated more as an
equal. Still. even where this Improvement
exists, she does most of the work: she
bargains, trades, labors on the farm, or
oversees the other laborers.
This, as well as all other things, varies
among different tribes AT Bathurst on the
Gambia, | saw the women loading the boats,
their babies tied on their backs with the

1.-THE head is cut off, - they explained,
land we never, never eat it. We throw it
away"
An English consul, whom met once and
who died shortly after at Bonny, told me
that he was present on one occasion on the
lower Niger when there were seventeen
prisoners of war, bound, waiting and look
ing on, while the preparations were being
made for a great feast of which they were
to form the principal part.

And eaten they were, spite Of the
humane efforts in their behalf.
Among the more wartlke savage tribes,
1t is the belief of some that if they eat the
flesh of a ''big war man. his strength and
valor are transmitted TO the feaster l

confessed to me that they had eaten human
flesh. AS a general thing, however, they
would prefer not TO be thought cannioals.
They further told me, what was after

that was aware of the fact, that the flesh
was cut up and dried to preserve it for

esting to civilized readers. These people,
| think, were cannibals, because they were
.hungry for flesh" and esteemed it as a
delcacy.
The Iboes on the river Niger are quite
addicted to canibalism. They are tall,
well formed, brave but cruel race. I do
not think the fact of their eating human
flesh has anything to do with their fine
physique more than that all the flesh
eating nations are people physically
stronger, more courageous and more
enterprising than others. There are, of
course, exceptions even to this rule. But
the custom of cannibalism among the ma
tive heather of Africa is gradually passing

1t is surely an objectionable fault, if not sin
for woman to neglect her personal appearance.
All women cannot be beautiful in every particu-
lar, but every woman may be Clearly, sweet,
attractive and lovable. A few golden freckles
on a sun-Sissed cheek may not detract from
beauty. but there is no excuse for the woman
who through ignorance or neglect, allows her
face TO retain for very long such hideous blem-
ishes as sallowness, moth patches, blackheads
or pimples. 1t is not difficult to understand
why the face grows dark or shows other blem-
ishes while all the rest of the body remains
perfect in appearance: The face being the out
