u-a-r- of the natives of the African Gold Coast.

feminine name fur the day. thus, all g,ri- born
on SUNDAY are named Accu~suuk ; al boys born
ON sunday are nimcd AuHs~ic; girls born on
Monday are named Adiuah; boys are named

limited. nickname are much IN vogue So n
tat man boin ga Monday Is not called simply

She D. pawncd. Wien a pledge person die- the
body il fastened 20 the bpugh ~ q tree. high in

trine- heliDy In tic Immortality ot tue soul,
but they think the dead one cannot couut tuco
his wuudcrilgs To- the eternal realms until MS
mortal remains have been consigned Ia earth.
For this reason the relatives make every enort
To- redeem the body Of a pnwucd person AS soon
as possible after death. The Fautce~ rejoice in
the possession Of two devils-AbousRm, who pre-
sides over the souls of the wicked In the ueNt

Thereof uourish their children with liquid
