^SSllBfttfe Car. ? writer in Sfe. Nicholas, toll? tow the lifc.car is used ia tue of shipwreck when :tho 6ia is too high to reach a wreck with the life beat. The rocket apparatus haa been ar raagotf", und is firmly planted in the Mid. It ia a long t-ibo, mounted on a tripod, and ia fired by i\ perouaaion cap. About four hundred yards of very light card are smoothly coiled at the bane, and one oad is nttaohed to the rocket. A small trigger is pulled, and tho rooket leaps through the air, and over the dis treaaed ship, bearing the Hoe with it. Happily, it falls aoross tho deok, and is hauled in bfithosailors on board. When the shore end is reached, a block, held ing a stouter.rope and a board contain ing the following words, in English and French, aro found' attached. 'Make the tail of the block fart to the lowermast, Well up If the masts are gone, then fasten it to the best place yen can fiacL Cutt off small lino. Seo that the rope in the block runs free, and show signal to the shore.' The men on the beach wait patiently until n rocket or light is displayed in answer, and the life caro is then din patched on its journey. It is suspended the ropes by rings, and is hauled across the waters by the men on the shore. In ten or fifteen minutes it is alongside the vessel, and is filled with wrecked people. Again a signal is diu played, and the life oar makes its return journey-?sometimes riding over the waters} sometimes high and dry, and sometimes submerged by the heavy sea. It is so constructed that it contains enough air to give four persons breath ior at least fiftten minutes, but other wiso it ia not ventilated. Here it comes gliding' nearer tho shore. 'Steady!' the commandant cries to his men, who are pulling with all their might and main. 'Steady 1' The ear touches the sand, and is dragged out ef reach of tho water. The trap-door is oponcd, and three women?wet, cold, terrified, but still alive?are safoly landed. Only thirty-one minutes havo passed since the first rooket was fired, and, thereafter, liv?3 are saved at the rate ot over forty an h?ur--until not a soul remains on the wreck.

Many of the men aro very intelligent looking with high foreheads and well shaped heads. They ahow singular tosto J in the aston ishly varied styles in which their h^ir is arranged. Their bead necklaces are really pretty specimens of work. Many have the upper and middlo, as wel 1 as the lower part of the ear, bored, and have from three to five rings iu each ear. The hole in tho lobe of the ear is large enough to admit ones finger, and some wear a piooe of bamboo, about an inch long in it. Brass and iron braoe lets, elaborately figured are seeu; and some of the men sport from two to eight brass rings on each finger, and even tho thumbs are not spared- They wear oop per, brass and iron rings on their legs arms many.have their front teeth notch ed, and some file them till thoy resemble the teeth of a saw. The upper lip ring of tho women gives them a revolting ap pearance; it ia universally worn in the highlands. A puncture is made high up in tho lip, and is gradually enlarged until the pdele can be inserted. Some are very large. One we measured caus ed the lip to projeet two inches beyond the tip ofthe nose; whon the lady smil ed, tho contraction of tho muscles elava ted it ever the eyes 'Why do tho women wear these things 7' the venerable chief, Chinsurdi waa asked: Evidently surprised at suoh a stupid question, ho replied: ?For beautyl Thoy aro the only beautiful things women have! Mon have beards, women have none. What kind of a person would she bo without the pelele? Sko would not be a woman at all, with a mouth like a man but no heard?' One woman having a large tin pclele with a bottom like a dish, refused tu sell it, because, oho said, her husband would heat her if she went homo with out it. Thoso rings are made of bam boo, of iron, or of tin. Their scanty olothiag?the prepared bark of tress, tho akin of animals (chiefly goats), and a thick strong cetton cloth, are all of] native manufacture. They seem to bo an iaduitrious race. The following is recommended as a recipt for making bologna sausage 1?
