Men.
Many of the villages on the Up
per Congo consists merely of fifty
or sixty log hute, two Thirds of the
population being generally men
In many districts women are con-
sidered as currency, their value
increasing as they attain n greater
degree of corpulency. Each wO
man has as many metal ornaments
as they can wear, some composed
of iron, others brass and copper.
These metals are the money of the
country, SO that the more wo.
man can heap upon herself thegreat
er hccoms her value. Each chief
has as many wives as he can afford
to buy or marry, which is only an .
other form Ofpurchase. Early in
the morning a few Of these women
are up at day break to work in
the plantation, and do not re-
turn until about noon. However,
a few always have to remain to at
tend to the necessary domestic
items If life, such as cooking and
their toilet. These Central Afri.
cans are very particular in all items
in connections with toilet, which
consists of plating their hair, shav>
ing of their eyebrows, pulling out
the eyelashes, cutting their nails
down to the quick, and
besmearing their bodies with
mixture of palm-oil and cans
wood.
In another part of the village
are seen some of the villagers en-
gagged in making fish nets and
basket works, and being helped by
theyOungboys of thevillage, who are
Initiated into these crafts at a very
carlyage. Again, under some sha-
dy tree, in another corner OF the
village, some natives will be ems
