TALES OF LIBERIA.
1t Is Land of PrOmise-Natiyc Cav.
ages Odd.

Charleston Post.
Pauline WOOdson, the colored mis-.
sionary to Liberia, who recently re.
turned to Charleston, says that boa
constructor meat is eaten in some
parts of Liberia by the natives and
is held in high regard and choice.
These people have very strange tastes
for delicacies such as cooked snake
meat, elephant ieet, dogs, cats and
other strange dishes that Americans
would not care for
These savages grow to be over sew
en- feet in height, are we'll proper
toned and have huge legs and arms
They weigh over 200 pounds Their
clothes consist of a very heavy gold
bracelet around the wrist and the
hide of some animal thrown around
their lOins. This is their Sunday cos
tune. The natives are very quick
to learn new customs, for they copy
and initiate just as a monkey does
They take up American ideas very
quickly and adopt them in both man.
ner and dress. The houses of the
civilized Liberians are made OF
planks, costing SO cents each, when
hewn out Of a log of cedar or other
kind of wood.
The natives coming in from the
jungle with plenty of gold or a piece
of ivory which is more valuable than
gold there, Pauline says, will swap
pint of precious metal for a yard OF
bright-cOlOred cloth or a handful of
trinkets. When an especially rich
savage comes to MOnrovia with a few
sacks Of gold and ivory the first thing
that he does is to get a. jug of rum
and a large, loud whistle, and pos
sessing these much desired articles.
he is as happy as if he owned the
whole world, perhaps more so.
Travelling in Liberia is expensive,
tiresOme and crude, as there are few
railroads or good roads. The average
country highway is wide enough )nly
for man to pass over. Many of these
paths lead through forests, where
travellers are often attacked by the
wild beasts. One may for a shilling
travel all day in hammock carried
by two strapping negroes.
Liberia is a land of great promise,
says Pauline WOodsOn. She thinks
tnat a lot Of her people could do bet
ter there than in this country. Pau
lines husband, some years ago, plant
ed some cotton and it grew into small
trees. For five years he kept on plant
ing it. Each year the cotton did a lit
tie better, until at the end of six
years had had as pretty a crop as can
be grown in America.
Liberia is now having the winter
season and six months of rain. Pau
Charleston at all hot, as it is like fall
to her. She was sitting on her piazza
with a shawl thrown around her when
seen by a reporter. The rainy pc
riOd in Liberia is the season of fever.
1t does not rain steadily all the time,
but every day without fail, and some
times for two weeks rain pOurs down
in torrents in the upper country.
The natives as a whole are cleanly
If King TOculO, a native chief, lived in
Charleston, he would have his men
cleaning up the streets all day, for he
believes that cleanliness is next to
GOdliness Every morning the natives
on arising, take a bath in a nearby
stream and also wash their gold
bracelet and other simple attire.
