The rolte consists of much soft India

enio-ma of irarmeiit without the ex

studded with crescents of pearls. This

SHAVING IN JAMAICA.
It Is I anally a Very Primitive 1'ros-eeal-linr-
The natives of Jamaica have no iia-eil
to buy soap, for the woods alsoind in
plants whose leaves ami bulbs supplv
very well the place of that inalispeiisa-bh-
article. Among the liest aif these
is the saian tra-e. so called, tliamgh it is

much like the cauiimon brow n soap.
The Jamaica negroes, some of whom
are great alaiialies in their way. make a
soap out of cocoa nut oil ami hoiiia
maale lye: ami a tine soap it is. smooth
ami fragrant. This caieoauut-oil saiap
is iwal fair shaving.
When a man wishes to shave in the
morning he starts out wit Ii his ca ia-aia-nut-shell
cup am! bis ab nkey-tai brush
anal a lnittle. It is never any trouble
tai final an empty lmttle in Jamaica,
even in tin-mountains. At least twenty
generations of thirsty eoplc have
Uveal tha-re. anal thrown away the
empty lisittles.
The man carries no mirrair. 1hi-:uw
he has none to carry. Xot one negro
cabin in a alozeii has even a cheap
looking-glass. But nature proviales the
mirror as well as the saiap. Tlie man
goes to a convenient jaKil in tha- moun
tain stream, where the water is still,
anal tha-re is his mirror. He breaks his
liaitth' am a stame ami picks auit a goanl
sharp piece. Then he lathers his face
profu.--ly an.l ln-gins to si-rajn away
with his pia-s-e aif glass, which works
almaist as well as a sharp razor.
