Text Appearing Before Image: Frank and Fred were in-terested in everything they saw,and particularly with the passingkaleidoscope of Englishmen, Germans, Americans, and other white na-tionalities, together with Chinese, Indian coolies, Feejeeans, Eotumahmen, and natives of half the islands of the Pacific. Of course the Fee-jeeans were more numerous than any other race or kind of people thatpassed before their eyes. The Feejeeans, said Frank, in his account of their visit to Suva, are considerably darker than the Samoans or Tahitians; Doctor Bron-son says they belong to the race of Papuans rather than to the Ma-lays, though possessing characteristics of both. They are superior tothe Papuans in physique and in their degree of civihzation, but theyhave the frizzly hair and beard and the dark skin which indicates theirPapuan origin. Then, too, they use the bow and arrow for weapons,and make pottery, neither of which is characteristic of the true Poly-nesian. What struck us as odd about them was their immense heads of Text Appearing After Image: FEEJKEAN HEAD-DRESS. HAIR-DKESSING IN THE SOUTH SEAS. 159 hair, some of them being fully three feet in diameter. Hair-dressingseems to be one of the fine arts in Feejee, and the barber is a most im-portant personage, though less so to-day than formerly. And how doyou suppose they managed to get such enormous mops on their heads ? Well, the naturally frizzly hair is imjDroved by the barber. Eachparticular hair is seized and pulled with tweezers until it stands outstraight, helped of course by the other hairs which have been served thesame way. The hair-dressing of a Feejeean dandy takes the greaterpart of the time, and when he wishes to appear in specially fine stylehe must be for a whole day at least in the hands of his barber. Whenthe hair has been stretched out to the proper degree, it is wrapped withfine tappa or imported muslin, and in this condition presents a very cu-rious appearance.
