neither the scorching rays of "a torrid

people, but every farmer of any
prominence owned from fifty to one

wool and mutton. These sheep run
through the woods at large and re-

ers, except to salt them and clip the
wool from them. AS to feed, they
made their own living or the COM
mon range, whore the wild grasses
grow thick and are never exhausted
by heat, drouth, or the many thous-
and stock which feed there. From
the middle of March until the first
of December, the old fields furnish
the finest of pastures. Sheep are
perfectly free from disease here.
None have to be dipped for scab or
ticks. This is truly the home of the
sheep, none better. The price of
common sheep is from 81 so to 81
the carcass weighing from 60 to 80
pounds. A cross direct Of Cotswold
or Southdown and natives gives a
large carcass and great quantity
of wool. This cross on the native
sheep we can produce breed of
sheep healthier and better suited to
our climate soil and pasturage than
any of the improved breeds. Tho
half bloods are worth double their
dams. Sheep raising offers source oi

| Al eDreeds can be raised in perfect
health, almost without feed and care
and the yield of wool is of fine quail

NEGRO HEAD DRESSES.
Row the Native African Bedecks His
WoolIy Crown.

The African puts ornaments in his
hair as we more civilized mortalS do, but
his taste is different. For where we
decorate with gold and silver pins and
combs, he proudly uses little balls and
discs of clay, hanging to the end of his
braided locks or long braided beard.
Sometimes he plasters great crescent
shaped lump OF clay on the back of his
head, and one old prince particularly
vain and loving of ornament, rolled his
entire beard into ball and SO plastered
1t with mud that it hung, great clay
ball, from his chin. just fancy how
pleasant it must have been to wear a
tive-pound weight on ones chin! 1t
would be great discourager of conyer-
sation, for one certainly would not wish
TO lift that weight any oftener than was
absolutely necessary.
Some of the women with long hair,
weave it over and around little reeds
stuck in at right angles to the head, so
that it finally looks like a great straw
hat or basket all around their faces,
much like the old poke bonnets that our
grandmothers used TO wear. The ladies
of the lower Congo whose hair is more
wooliy than that of some of the other
tribes, part their hair in three great
thick locks, one on each side of the face
and one in front. These they grease
and twist until they look like wire, then
they curve them until they look like
short cows horns Sticking ont on both
sides and in front
The natives OF Rua braid their hair in
two or three long plaits right on top OF
the head. These they stiffen with clay
nntil they stand upright exactly like the
funny little horns the unsociable snail
sticks out as he saunters along with
his house on his back. If the man of
Rua happens to have short hair be braids
in false hair until he gets it TO what he
considers fashionable length, that is
about twelve or fourteen inches. They
likewise share the fondness OF so-called
civilized nations for changing the color
of the hair, and are particularly addicted
TO the use OF red clay, which makes
Gheir hair brilliant red. They also use
preparation of henna for the same pur-
pose, and when they want to hide the
gray hairs they mix henna ana indigo
which makes a fine black, and unlike
some European dyes, does not affect the
brain.

answer.
SO Don Jaime had it weighed. and
when he reached the Mission he obtained
a quantity OF silver, the money that the
Indians liked best, and paid them back,
some twenty dollars, some fifty, some
almost u hundred, in exact accordance
with the amount OF surplus gold they bad
