WHERE FAT MEANS BEAUTY.

In writing Of the curious customs of the natives of southern Nigeria, Mrs Amaury Talbot in HarperSs Magazine for March, tells how the young women are fattened in their preparation for marriage.
 The drst great event in the life of an Ibkbio girl is her entrance into the fatting- house.
 This so-calIed fatting7house is a room set apart in the parents home the latter are undergoing the process of fatten1ng-up which among the vest coast tribes is thought necessary for their we1l-being. During 4has time the girls arc not allowed to go outside the compound walls save on yer rare oc- casions Theoretically they are not supposed to pass the threshold of the fatting-room- They do no work and are fed up and pampered in every way.
 Before going ints seelusion for the first time, young girls are led down to which the village drinking-water is drawn. A sacrifice is offered, and the following prayer recited over each: '' Behold, here comes your child, who is about to enter the fatting- house, Protect her, that no evil thing may have power to harm her while she dwe1ls therein
 We chanced to be at Adult Nsitt about the time when the daughters of the principal inhabitants were ready to leave the fatting-hous after this first period of seclusfon One of the chiefs stated that they were not due to emerge until a few days later, but did 90 dn honor of our presence Some half-dozen girls came to visit us, each Iof whom wore massive bangles and bracelets of beaten brass or copper and from a cord round their necks dangied live white chicken, feebly huttering against the bare, brown breast of it's wearer. Tn the Elk cer- emory. on the death of a great chief each of the women is said to wear a similar decoration.
 The second time spent in the fat ting-house is the period in the lives Of Ibfbio women during which they may be looked upon as tndulged and spoiled to the top of their sbeaat This second seclusdon is fixed at the point

Mutinp in India Quelzed and
ReD0lte1s are NeQrlD All Dead

Manila, Feb. 24.-Four hundred mem
bers of the mutinous Indian regiment
which revolted at Singapore on Febru-
ary Is have been killed as we'll as sew
en- German prisoners from the deten-
tion camp who Joined the natives when
offered their freedom, according to re-
ports of the uprising brought here by
passengers from Singapore. The mu-
tineers are said to have killed all their
officers save the colonel and then at
tackled civilians, several of whom were
killed, including one woman. The Brit
ish officially announce that the revolt
was the result of jealousies over pre-
motions.
The revolt began without warning.
Half the light infantry of Bengalese, on
their way to Egypt, numbering 800,
suddenly attacked and subdued the
other half. Reports brought here are
that the rebellious troops killed none
of their comrades except officers In
cluding natives. They then attacked
the houses of civilians, according to
the stories, killing men but sparing the
women and children who sought refuge
on the transport Nile, lying in the har-
Dor.
The mutineers offered freedom to all
Germans in the detention camp who
would ioin them. Only seven of the
prisoners accepted this proposal, the
others preferring to remain where they
were.
The half regiment which remained
1oyal soon organized itself and started
