A Curious CUsToM.-Sir John Lubbock
in his recent work on the ''Origin of Civil
Mation," speaks of a curious custom very
widely spread among savages of all regions,
by which on the birth of baby the father,
and not the mother, is put to bed and nursed
like sick person for several weeks. This
custom was almost universal among the In
dians of South America. Dobritzhoffer, the
old Jesuit missionary to Paraguay, tells us
that ''no sooner do you hear that a woman
has borne O child than you see the husband
lying in bed, huddled up with mats and Skins
lest some ruder breath of air should touch
him, fasting, kept in private, and for a num-
Der of days abstaining religiously from GER
tain viands; you would swear it was he who
had had, the child. 1 had read about this in
old times, and laughed at it, never thinking
could believe such madness; and 1 used to
suspect that this barbarian custom was re-
lated more in jest than in earnest; but at
last saw it with my own eyes among the
Abipones."
Brett in his account of the Indian tribes of
Guiana, says he saw a man whose wife had
lately been delivered, lying in a hammock,
wrapped up as if he were sick, though really
in the most robust health, and carefully nursed
by women, while the mother of the newborn
infant was engaged in cooking and other
work about the hut.
Traces OF THIS custom were found In Green
land, where, after woman is confined, the
husband must forbear working for some
weeks; and in Kamskatka, where for some
time before the birth of a baby the husband
must do no more hard work. Similar notions
are found among the Chinese, among the
Dyaks of Borneo, and what is still stranger is
that they exist TO this day in Corsica, in the
North of Spain, and in the South of France,
where the custom is called faire Ia c0Y0ade
Max Muller, in his ''Chips from German
/ Workshop, tries to account for it thus: sit
is clear that the poor husband was at first
/ tyrannized over by his female relations, and
afterward frightened into superstition. He
! then began to make q martyr of himself till
he made himself really ill, or took to his bed
in self defense Strange and absurd as the
c0u0Gde appears at first sight, there is some
| thing in it with which, we believe, most
mothers-in.law can sympathize." Sir John
/ Lubbock, however, prefers to accept the
arb and Abipone explanation, which is that
! they believe the infant would be injured in
some way if the father engaged in any rough
work or was careless of his diet
