Kongo Tattooins.

In the Kongo colonies Of Belgium
both men and women are tattooed ac-
cording to their status in society. A
woman Of high caste will have q de-
sign not unlike a Zouave jacket worked.

the native is as content with this mode
Of covering as il it were q substitute
for clothing. By injecting the Juice Of
certain herbs the scars left by the tat
tooing process retain a swollen ap-
pearance, giving the effect Of bas-relief
work. The thorns of the acacia are
generally used as a needle, while a
certain black clay is used as a coloring
medium.
