AMAZONS OF DAHOMEY.
These Famous Women Warriors Fight
Like Unclaimed Demons.

This famous body of women war
riors are described by Mr.. Martyr in
Life In the Legion" In which he tells
of his experiences while serving with
the Foreign legion of the French army:
ANY one inclined to sympathize
with the amazons on account of their
sex and look upon the combat between
them and our men as unequal may
take 1t from me that their sympathy
would be misplaced These young wo-
men are far and away the best men In
the Dahoman army and, woman to
man, were quite a match for any of
us. They were armed with Spencer
repeating carbines and made much
better use Of them than the men made
Of their rifles, and for work at close
quarters they had a small, heavy back
ed chopping sword or knife very much
like South American machete, with
which they did great execution.
They fought like unclaimed demons
and If driven into corner did not dis
dain the use of their teeth and nails.

but she was so far from being beaten
that she at once turned on her captor
and set about biting his nose off. The
man yelled out for his mother, but the
lady would not leave Off worrying him
until she was cut down.
The uniform of these female war.
riors was sort of killed, divided skirt
or blue cotton stuff. This garment
barely reached to the knees. 1t was
supported at the waist by a leather
oeir which carried the cartridge
pouches. The upper part OF their bod.
les was quite nude, but the head was
covered with a coquettsh red fez or
tarooosh, into which was stuck an ca
yle's feather"

Mr.. Dyspeptic, would you not
like to feel that your stomach trou-
bles were over, that you could
eat any kind of food you desired
without injury? That may seem
so unlikely to you that you dc
not even hope for an ending of
your trouble, but permit us to as
sure vcu that it is not altogether
impossible. If others can be
cured permanently, and thousands
have been, why not you? John R.
Barker, of Battle Greek, Mich, is
one of them. He says, 81 was
