wear bracelets from the wrist to the arm

whose black skins were covered with cot
ton dress consisting merely OF sheet
wrapped around them, and which
al told could not have cost more
than twenty-five cents, bracelets OF gold
silver and brass which would have pur-

Of Burmah the women wear great bands Of
brass around their necks. and 1t Is said that
one woman will sometimes carry as much

Of iron, brass and gold. and the objects are
Of all shapes and description The most
curious necklace. TO me, was one of human
fingers, but this was used by the medicine
men OF certain tribe, rather than as an
ornament for women. Two OF the most
beautifully formed women have ever seen
were pointed out to me by the curator of
the African exhibit, from picture in the
possession OF the museum. They were
young Kafiirs, were about Is years old and
were fully developed. They were dressed
IN the costume OF the country. In other
