WHAT SAvAGEs THINK OF TwISs.-In
Africa. according TO DR.. Robert Brown
('Races OF Mankind" the birth OF twins is
commonly regarded as an evil omen. No
one except the twins themselves aud their
nearest relatives, is allowed TO enter the hut
In which they first saw the light. The chill
dren are not To play with other children, and
even the utensils OF the hut are not permitted
TO be used by any one else. The mother is
not allowed TO talk TO any one not belonging
TO her own family. II the children both live
10 the end OF the sixth year, IL Is supposed
that nature has accommodated herself TO
their existence, and they are thenceforth ad-
mitted to association with their fellows
Nor is this abomination of twin births re-
strfcted to Africa. In the island of Bali
near Java, woman who is SO unfortunate
as 10 bear twins is obliged, along with her
husband, to live for month at the sea-
shore or among the tombs, until she is pull
fed. The khasias of HindOstan consider
that TO have twins assimilates the mother to
the lower animals, and one of them is fire.
Quently put 10 death. An exactly similar
belief prevails among the native tribes OF
Vancouver Island. Among the Amos, one
OF the twins is always killed, and in Hrebo.
in Guinea, both the twins and the mother
are put to death.-PopulG' Science monthly for
