Savages Along the African Coast.

Most of the people in Liberia understand
a little English, or some one is found to in
terpret. There are many heather tribes,
the most prominent being the Basses the
Vyemen, Pessas and Gedebos. They live in
matched huts, wearing waist cloths and a
profusion of brass and bone jewelry. Their
religion is devil worship. Polygamy and
domestic slavery are practiced. The women
do most of the work, carrying the loads,
pounding the rice, catching and cooking the
fish, while they also prepare the venisoD
which their lords have killed. Palm oil Is
largely used in cooking, food being often
quite covered with it.
All eat from the same brass or iron pot,
unless owning a basin of some kind. Some
times spoons are used, but usually they eat
with their fingers. Dumboy, as the Liber-
fans call the dish, is a favorite 1t is made
Of cassavas boiled and then beaten in q
mortar and then rolled into waxy, dough
like balls, which by some sleight of hand
are thrown down the throat, as it is impos.
sible to chew them. Fowl or fish is often
cooked with dumboy. Palm wine is drunk
to great eXtent.-Cor. Goldthwaite's Mag

DistiIIation Among the Egyptians.

The decisive step in the knowledge of dis
tillation was taken in Egypt. There were
invented the first real distilling apparatus
during the first centuries of the Christian
era. They are described precisely in the
works of Zosimus, an author of the third
century, from the technical treatises of two
women chemists named Cleopatra and
Mary. In the margin of a Greek text of
St. Mark are the drawings of the apparatus,
and they agree exactly with the authors de-
scriptions.-P L. NJ. Berthelot in Popular
Science Monthly.

Rather a Strange AppeIIation.

Two women undertook only last week to
hunt up a fashionable bonnet maker whose
address they had lost. The house they fan
cied they had found, though its appearance
seemed almost too fine even for the artist"
they were in search of, and one of the women
asked rather hesitatingly:
.Does a milliner live here?"
There was moments hesitation on the
part of the door opener, middle aged wom-

pretty rich man, but 1 don't know as you'd

If the mans head were thus kept IN

lean only conclude that the custom of
tying up horses heads with checkreins,
like the custom of bleeding calves before
they are killed, is a relic of barbarism,
contrary alike to common sense and
