HOLD WOMEN IN SUBJECTION
i
| "Equal Rights" Theory Has Ns Stand-
Ing Among Tribes qf ths African
•lave Cokst.
Woman Is still the Inferior sex In
Africa. Man still makes her the beast
of burden, tlie salable chattel, and
treats her like an Ignorant and re­
calcitrant child. With the Yorubas on
the Slave coast, man's chief occupa­
tion seems to be to direct and Im­
press women. Among other things,
“to prove to the womenfolk that man
rises and goes to heaven," says a Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania Museum bulle­
tin. "a man. dressed In the shroud
of the dead mon. and with a wooden
mask of the dead man’s face upon him.
Is placed In a private room with the
body. Then, when all the fumlly la as­
sembled In an adjoining room, some
one strikes the ground three times
with a stick, crying out "Father!
Father! Father! answer me!" The
"Egun." or man with the corpse, an­
swers In a deep voice, and everybody
claim hands and rejoices.
Even the male children are aware
that It Is the "Egun" who answers;
but frail woman is supposed not to
know. Woe betide her If she voh'es
any dpubts or unbelief about It! She
gets a good beating. The "Egun" lias
developed In many localities of Yoru-
baland Into a kind of bogy whose func­
tion It Is to spirit away undesirables—
busybodies, scolds, scandalmonger«.
The women are his special providence,
although on occasion he will punish a
man If that high-and-mlghty member
of society can ever be thought guilty
of any punishable offense! An African
woman who threatens an “Egun" with
personal violence, or speaks evil of
him. Is punishable by nothing less than
death.
WORLD LOVES PLEASANT MAN
Simple Rules by Which One May At­
tain Popularity, and Its Con­
comitant, Power.
Learn to laugh; a good laughds bet­
ter than medicine.
Learn how to tell h story; a good
story, well told. Is as welcotne as a
sunbeam In a sick-room.
I*am to keep your own troubles to
yourself; the world Is too busy to care
for your Ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking; if you can­
not see any good In the world, keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under pleasant smiles; no one carer
to hear whether you have headnenes,
earaches, or rheumatism.
I^-arn to meet your friends with a
smile; a good-humored man or woman
Is always welcome, but the dyspeptic
Is not wanted anywhere.
Above all. give pleusure; lose no
chance of givlug pleasure.
You ♦will pass ttirbugh this world
but once.
Any good thing, therefore, that you
can do, or any kindness that you can
show to any human being, you had bet­
ter do It now; do not defer or neglect
It.
For yon will not pass this way
again—Montreal Family Herald.
Fleas Have Their Ute«.
The next time you are worried by a
flea, do not be Impatient with It. It
has its uses, remarks London Answers.
Glasgow, which justly prides it’elf
on Its municipal efficiency, has lately
discovered that even small Insects may
be utilized in the Interests of empire.
The filters at its sewage purification
works liecome periodically choked with
a gelatinous matter, the clearing aww
of which was very costly. The local
authorities have now enlisted large
numbers of Insects of the flea tribe,
and the results are remarkable.
Each of these Insects absorbs four
pounds per week of this disturbing
gelatin, and allows the sewage to be
converted Into water that possesses
crystal clearness.
Acharutes. as they are called, have
hitherto been regarded merely as
pests. It Is fortunate that we have
found some useful employment for
them at last!
“In the Jug."
“In the jug" Is an expression that
has all the characteristics of slang
but it was adopted Into our own patois
from that of the Scots.
Jug. In this connection doesn’t
mean a vessel, though It is tempting
to trace the thought of someone being
In jail to the term of “bottled up,”
The word Itself is derived from the
Scottish "Joug," a kind of Iron yoke
or pillory for the head, which years
ago was used In the punishment of
rogues and criminals. When, years
later, a round house of stone was set
up In the market place for such often
ders, this prison was popularly called
“the stone jug." This particular build­
ing is supposed to have been the first
prison ever constructed on British
soil.
Civilization Four Thousand Yeare Ago.
Excavation at Knossos, Paet os, and
other sites In Crete has not merely
established the existence of a people
whose form of civilization was the
earliest In Europe, but has shown
much about their dally life, games,
amusements; their art, religion, writ­
ing—though hardly yet their language;
their physical characteristics, dress,
and the houses they lived in. A huge
palace has been unearthed at Knossos.
It has a drainage system that an
eminent Italian archeologist has des­
cribed as "absolutely English,” and
that certainly anticipates the hy­
draulic engineering of the Nineteenth
century. The men of science engaged
In the work estimate the age of their
* discoveries ut 40W years.
