THE BULBS OF AFRICA.
Some of the Hahlts and Customs Of Ps-
 euliar People.

T
 euliar People.
 In appearance tha people are tall, we'll formed and graceful The men wear small loin-cloths. The women wear nothing but few handfuls of grass. But they are loaded with orna- mcnts of beads and brass and bells. The men also wear ornaments, but not in such excess. Both men and women take great pains with their hair, doing it up in the strangest and dirtiest way conceivable. A common style is to build it. with the aid of strips of bam- boo, into three hard ridges several inches high. running from the front to the back of the head. Each ridge is mounted with a close row of common white shirt buttons. Sometimes a card containing as many as six dozen is sewed on above each ear. 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 splash-board is built out behind, 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 wooden pillow, and let the head hang over. The hair once ar ranged remains undisturbed 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 going into the hair, it always comes out black.
 The women, moreover, wear strip of monkey skin or goat skin an inch wide, trimmed with buttons. of course. across the middle of the forehead. And beside all this they have bangs all around the head consisting of loose hair strung with beads of all colors With this glttering headgear and with brass and beads hung over the whole body, the women make an appearance altogether unique in this woSld.-Mis- sionary Letter.

ALEXANDER SHAW LOSES MS SUIT.

baltimore Feb. tspeclaD.-The long contest In
the courts between Alexander Shaw heavy stock
holder in the West Virginia Central ana i'''tS-
burg Railroad Company, and Henry o. DAVIS
fine president Of the company, has been decided BY
the state Court OF Appeals in favor OF the latter
The question involved was whether the West Nir-
ginia Central should lease the Piedmont ana cum
beriand road and 1t lead up 10 a personal quarrel
between Mr. Davis and Mr.. Shaw. When the SUIT
was Instituted Henry c. Davis, Thoms E. Davis
and Stephen y. Elkns owned S1l9i shares OF west
Virginia Central ana 1928 shares OF Piedmont ana
Cumberland stock. and Mr. Shaw Owned $3.50 shares
OF West Virginia Central and no Piedmont anu
Cumberland stock. The bin iiled by Mr. shaw
charged that the Piedmont and Cumberland road
was deslgnedly constructed in a cheap and defective
manner. with view OF Aavng 1t operated by the
West Virginia Central Company. and or throwing
upon 1t the heavy cost OF operating the road Inc
court could nothing In the record 10 support
the allegations OF fraud, but. on the other hand;
was quite fully satisfied that the Piedmont and
Cumberland Railroad was projected. located and
constructed in entire good faith. with view 10
furnishing a necessary outlet for the traffic OF the
West Virginia Central road
