DRAGGED. TO MARRIAGE.

TRIBL WHIGH ABRORS

WITCHCRAFT, VA

Interesting particulars of a little known African tribe are given by Mr. J. H. Driberg, of the Uganda Civil Service, vini "The Lango”- Fisher Unwin, 636), for which She ? R. Corydony Governor of the Uganda Protectorate, Has written fariwordmava kumerat, ko sed

In addition to a history of the? tribe and a description of Its mode oflife in all circumstances, a fall" grammar and vocabulary are inf cluded in Mr. Driberg's bookarhich, he observes, could never have seen the fight but for generousl financial assistance from · the Uganda Government and from the funds of the Lango Lukiko, or Council of Chiefs."

Although the Lango border on the Victoria Nile, the habit characteristic of other Nilotic tribes, of standing on one leg'with the foot of the other resting. on the inner side of the knee, Is rarely observed among the Lango. The ceremony of driving away disease takes place every Juno. Hides are beaten in every huse and torches are waved into all the nooks and crannies. Discaso have ing beon. thus dislodged the whole village escorts it, rais ing the cry of victory and beating the hides, till it, is driven into river or swamp, from which it can- not return,

FETCHING THE BRIDE.

Forthe elaborate hair-dressing in vogue, which" entailed a fee of one pot of beer and one chicken ta thè barber," white beads are carefully fastened on the hair so that the head appears as if covered with a white skull-cap:

They are fond of dancing to the music of drum or flute bands. The boys; besides their sham fights, play a "kind of. hockey." "The Lango girl plays with her doll.

It is no elaborate affair but simply along sweet potato and is washed, fed, scolded, and slung on the back just like a human baby.

When a marriage has been ar ranged the lover directs his friends. to the bride's house and "tells therm to take the girl."

They accordingly go and ask hier to accompany them; but she raises the alarm and abuses thein in foul | language, and unseemly insults until they finally seize, her, strug gling, biting, kicking, and scream- ing.

She is often badly scratched and braised, as she re- sists until they have forcibly thrust her into her lover's hut.

All this is merely a survival of the practice of marriage by capture and "in no way indicates reluctance on the girl's part.”....

- After a death, close relations especially wives of the deceased, generally attempt to commit suicide, and have to be restrained by the villagers.,..

It is regrettable to have it record- ed of an otherwise intelligent peo-4 ple that no woman may possess property except her ornaments and tail, a sticklike leather continua- tion of the 'girdle,

Women are subject to strange vetoes. By custom of one clan they are "forbidden the flesh and skin of leopards; if a woman sleeps on leopard skin she will become sterile. The fig tree is forbidden. to women.

Witchcraft is entirely abhorrent. to the Laugo and the practisers.of the art are clubbed to death.

Cause of Despondency. Despondency is often caused by in- digestion and constipation and quickly dissppears when Chamberlain's fablets are taken. These tablots strengthen tha digestion and move the bowels. For sala by all Chemiata and Storskeepers.
