MADE UGLY BY TATTooINo.
Both Sexes Of African Natives Fond
Of the Process.

TattOOing Is almost universally pra2'
ticed by both sexes OF the natives OF
Africa Ii Is, however, very roughly
done and Is altogether inferior to the
tattooing Of the Maoris of New Iea
land and other Pacific races. The
method of operation Is simply to
make slit in the skin and then rub
In charcoal. Among the less pleasing
feminine ornaments must be reckoned
the nose buttons Of the Wa-Yao and
the frightful pelele or lip ring Of the
Anyanja. The nose button is a cir
Cular disk of ivory or FURNISHED lead,
let into one side of the nostril. Ugly
as is-the effect produced by this, 1t IL
yet a thousand times less hideous
than the pelele, which consists of
round fiat piece of ivory, or wood,
fixed in slit in the upper lips. The
slit Is gradually increased by the in
scrtion of successive plugs. each
little larger than the preceding one,
until 1t can accommodate a full sized
pclelc, which sticks out an inch OF
morc in front of the face, rendering
the appearance of the wearer scarcely
human.

the case Of man who. when ne was

why he carried revolver without a
permit. replied that he exp cted to
sail for Germany next Saturday and
intended to blow out his brains If
anything happened to the ship. He
said he had read so much about the

felt convinced he could never witness
such scenes. He insisted that this

Oyster-Shell Buffet.

A buffet made of oyster shells would
hardly appeal, it would seem, to the
average householder, and yet resi-
dent of Diamond street, near Six
teenth, has an oyster shell buffet that
his visitors admire more heartily than
any other piece of furniture in his
dwelling, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. This buffet looks like mother-Of-
pearl. The shells in it are beautifully
polished, and what gives the piece its
chief distinction is the black spots, or
eyes, upon each shell. These spots
have an effect upon the shells silvery
pearly surface that is indescribably
striking and harmonious. The buffet
was made by cabinet-maker of Wood
bury, N. J. The shells are set side by
