Interesting Stories About Amazon
Army on Guinea Coast

One of the most picturesque of the
African institutions, which are disap-
pearing as England. Germany and other
| European nations take possession Of the
| continent, is the Amazon army of the
Guinea coast. 1t is possible that the
stories told of these Amazons have been
| much exaggerated, but the accounts of
them given by entirely reliable authori-
ties are too interesting to need embel-
| lshment of any kind.
When Captain Burton visited Cana,
in West Africa, the Amazon army, which
he first encountered near that place, con-
sisted of 2500 women, who We're served by
other women, held as slaves for them.
The Amazon soldiers consisted of wo-
men of two kinds: Those who We're orig
inally spinsters selected by the king for
the service, and those who had been sep
arated' from their husbands. Although
enlistment among the Amazons was
looked on as an honor. it was also used
as a punishment for any wife whose
temper was so domineering that her
husband found her insupportable.
About one-third of the army had been
married women. The rest We're maidens,
watched with the greatest care to pre-
vent them from indulging in the human
weakness of falling in love. A fetish
placed over the gate of the camp was
supposed to have the power of detect
! ing them, but IT, in spite of this they
broke their laws of military conduct,
they and their accomplices were put to
death.
Their uniorm consisted of blue and
white tunic without sleeves, and petit
coat, under which they wore pair of
short trousers, much like the bicycle
bloomers of the United States Over the
whole was strapped the ammunition
belt. The muskets carried by the wo-
men were antiquated, and, as they
rammed the ball down on the powder
without wad6ing, they were never likely
to hit anything they aimed at
The Amazon army was divided into
battalions, one of the most curious OF
which was the razor brigade" armed
with razors two feet long, used in cut
ting off the heads Of enemies killed by
the others, or of criminals condemned
to death.-New York World
