WOMEN OF NIGERIA.
Their Lips Are Plugged With Wooden
Disks So They Can't Eat Dog.

The women of northern Nigeria are
not prepossessing and III their scanty
attire, with tails of grass hanging from
their girdles, are sometimes really gro
tesque.
To add further to their beauty both
the upper and lower lips of these wom-
en- are pierced in order TO admE a nat,
round disk of wood called the tichiak,
which is usually about the size of
half dollar. The lips Of the little girls
are pierced when they are seven or
eight years of age, and a piece OF
wood inserted and worn for time I'M
til a larger one takes It's place, the
opening thus being gradually enlarged
until full sized tichiak can be carried
without discomfort. The object OF this
singuIarly discomforting adornment IS
to prevent the women from eating
dogs, which are considered the greatest
delicacy by the men of the tribes.
Both sexes decorate their bodies with
regular designs. The chests and backs
of the little girls are scarified at
very early age. When they arrive at
manageable age the girls undergo
further ordeal. for two sets of parallel
lines are cut both on the chest and the
back, and as soon as possible after
marriage the head lines are made.
These consist of a number of short cuts
across the forehead. extending from ear
to ear, and thirteen long. slanting lines
are cut on each cheek from ear to chin.
