Gated cocoanut likewise come 10 cans.
With the extension OF the food stutfs
canned there has also come an inn
proyemeut in the cans used. Whereas
it formerly required a great deal OF
trouble to open tin can of any sort,
this difficulty has been overcome by Il
simple though curious device. Around
the can is soldered strip of tin. one
end of which may be fitted in a key;
by turning this key the soldered rim is
twisted off without the least trouble
and the can is opened for use. Many
people may not like lin-can dinner,
but those who eat such dinner, either
from choice or necessity, certainly
can not complain of the variety or
quantity of the food at their service.

THE BELLIES OF AFRICA.
How the Beauties of the Dark ContIn emit
Array Themselves in Ctcatrices.

On the walls Of the small room of
Explorer Herbert Ward in London are
divers sketches of the beauties Of Al
rica. There is sketch of woman Of
the BakongO-a woman of the OupotOs
-one Of the most savage tribes of the
Great River. In this sketch the face is
diStigured by series OF cicatrices,
making it as hideOus as can be well
imagined This form of tattooing is
produced by making wounds in the
flesh of abou. half an inch in length
and never allowing them to heal prop
erly; when they show tendency to do
so the OupoLos pull them roughly
apart; the result is a line and a con-
gomeration Of lines % scars. horrible
TO behold
The Oupotos, he tells you, in their
cooking arrangements are not alto
gether suggestive of Partisan Gordon
blue; it is not quite nice to sit down to
a dinner company where the usual
necklace IS composed of human teeth,
neither is the pariah dog as savory as
might be suggested.
As to the treatment of women by the
natives, and particularly by the follow
ers of Tippoo, to give one instance
take the story Of Sapenia. as told by
Mr. Deaue to Mr. Herbert Ward.

pledge OF friendship by her father, but
she. being of the Wachongera-m emo
tribe, was ill-treated by the Arabs, so
much so that she ran away to US; on
being examined no traces of ill-treat-
meut could be discovered, and. as Mr..
Deane had no right to interfere where
there was no i'll usage, she was con-
Quoted back to her Arab master. After
few days she came 10 US again with
her back covered with lashes from
whip aud hor body covered with
bruises telling us that she had been
terribly logged.
We kept her, and some DAYS after
when her syrunts came to seek her.
Mr. Deane told them that he could not
think OF letting her be taken back
again to be treated with such brutal
violence; that ne was sent to the coun-
Y to see justice done; and that, as
representative of the Congo Free State,
he intended Co do his duty. 1t is
rather unfortunate that this woman
SHOULD have paid back the kindness
shown her With particular ingratitnde.
She might have been of the greatest
use-ouly never Uas-to the British in
Africa.

IMPORTING MORE SONG BIRDS.
Oregon Ia Setting an Example Which
Older States May Follow.

The success which has attended the
introduction of the German song birds
will be the means of bringing many
more birds here and Oregon will be an
example for older states in this matter
says the Portland Oregouian. The
wonderful increase of the Chinese
pheasants brought here by Judge o. N.
Denny combined with the importation
OF song birds has done more to call at
tention to Oregon than anything else in
which the same amount OF money has
been expended. The society for i'm
porting song birds is preparingto have
a lot more brought here.

His Last Request.

Years ago a man Of considerable
literary attachments and fairly good
sense was crossing the plains, when he
was thrown from his mule with such
violence that he was for 3 long time
inseusible. By the use of whisky and
other rough measures he was finally
restored to consciousness just as he
was passing TO another aud better
world. Looking solemnly upward in
10 the fearful faces Of his friends and
economizing moment in the matter
of breath, he silently signited his wish
to utter his last words. A dozen ears
were offered to receive them: Don't
