The puie People of Africa.

In appearance tho people are tall, well formed and graceful. The men wear small loin cloths. The women wear nothing but few handfuls of grass, but they arc loaded with orna- ments of beads and brass and bells. The men also wear ornaments. but not in such excess. Both mvn and women take great pains with their hair, doing 1t up in the strangest and dirticst way conceivable. A common style is to build it, with the aid of strips of bamboo, into three hard ridges, several inches high, running from tho front to tho back of the head. Each ridge is mount ed with close TOW of common white shirt buttons. Sometimes a card con- taining as many as six dozen is sewed on above each e;Ir. The ridges of hair do not always run fore and aft. They are often in circles built up like a story cake and iced with buttons. Sometimes a kind of splashboard is built out be- hind. running from ear to ear, to hold more buttons. This latter style prevents their lying to sleep in the ordinary way. They must place the neck on the wood en pillow and let the head hang over. The hair once arranged remains undis- turbed for several months. It forms a convenient place for wiping their hands or knives. After dressing it grease is smeared over, which in the sun melts into the hair, some of it usually passing through and running down the back. No matter what color this oil is on go- ing into the hair, 1t always comes out black--St Louis Republic.

"om6u Progress
Miss Frances Z. Willard evidently
does not sympathize with the extreme
u%tterances of some of her sex in the
cause of woman suffrage. In a re-
cent arsicle Miss Willard SAYS:
1t is the highest tribute that has
ever been paid to woman, and yet
one of the most unobseryed, that not
a school has ever been opened to her
except by the vote Of men, nor has
she been admitted to any learfed
profession or TO an enlarged sphere
in the line of honorable occupation
except by men; nor has any woman
been made a voter, in greater or less
degree, in church or state, except by
III: free permission of "crca: on's
lords" They have clothed US with
all the power that they themselves
possess, save IT, the highest ranges,
ecclesiastical and governmental.
These are facts that are often fol-
gotten. The cause of woman suffrage
itself suffers to-day rot So much from
masculine opposition as from the luke
warmncss and indifference of women
themselves. Whichever women Eave
shown their fitness for gitcn task
or privilege andhave made a r~esolute
effort TO obtain it they have met with
few obstacles from MEN. Indeed,
modern tendencies are of a character
that pdrposcly itvite the active CO.
operation of women The narrow
scope of feminine endeavor in the
POST has been largely due TO preju-
dices and customs Which have been
