How the Land Was Divided and Looked

How the Land Was Divided and Looked
After.
The following were the characteristics of
the economic system in vogue there: The
soil, which was almost the sole source OF
wealth, belonged to the State. 1t was divi-
ded into three parts; the first was applied
for the maintenance of the temples and
priests of the Sun, the second for
the sovereign and nobility. and the
third for the people, as tempo
rary privilege, they being obliged
in return to cultivate all the land without
exception, as was the case with us in the
middle ages. The land was divided afresh
every year among all the families, accord
ing to their requirements, as was the case
with the Germans in the time Of Julius
Caesar. "Magistratus &C principles in amos
singulos gentibus cognationibusque homi-
mum quantum, ct quo loco visum est. agri
atiribuunt, atque ammo post alio tranSire
cogunt."-De Bell. GALL, 30.
Very exact registers were kept of the
different plats of ground and the number Of
members of each family, so that the division
might be made on a perfectly equitable
basis. Each family was also allowed q GER
tain amount of guano from the Chinehas
Islands for manuring the land. All agri-
cultural labor was carried on under the
direction Of the authorities, and the first to
receive attention was the ground which
was TO serve Tor the support OF the aged
the widows and orphans, the sick or those
employed in the service of the State.
Maize was cultivated on even the most
abrupt slopes of the mountains. which
were covered with terraces, supported by
enormous blocks of rock and stone, and
then filed with fertile earth from the val
legs. The State supplied each dwelling
with wearing apparel and with the neces-
sary implements of labor. There were
neither rich nor poor; every one had suffi-
Gent to live comfortably, but without
surplus permitting accumulation.
IdeneSs was punishable offense. There
was no coinage; gold and silver were used
for ornaments, or were deposited in the
temples. Exchanges were made at regular
monthly fairs by bartering. The Govern
ment gave out raw materials to artisans
and to women, who made these into manu-
factured articles under the supervision of
oyerseers appointed by the Government

THE SPOT UNCANNY
In the eyes of the superstitious natives, and
the pathway which led by the tree under
which Mrs. Livingstone was laid had be-
come entirely obliteFated.
Starting from the village with my guides
and ten men, we at once plunged into the
forest, which is here very dense, and, owing
to the thick "lianes" which hung from
every tree. difficult of passage. After three
quarters of an hours hard work, during
which we progressed, at the outside, half a
mile, we arrived at the foot of gigantic
baobab tree.
Here, my guide informed me, was the
site of the grave. but it took another hours
hard work clearing away the brush before
we could reach it. AT last, however. my
search was rewarded. and the grave
the head had fallen down, and, wreathed
with creepers, lay on the ground.
The grave itself is a simple mound of
earth. like so many of those seen In English
church-yards, and, considering that it had
not been banked up in score of years, was
tropical rains of the Zambesi Valley, it is
wonderful that it had not been entirely
effaced.
l had the jungle around the grave care
fully cleared away, and put stout bamboo
fence around it and replaced the cross at
the head On my return to the village ar
ranged with the head man to have the grass

ment may be erected to the daughter of
Moffat and wife of Livingstone. Certainly
no more appropriate resting place could be
found for her than I'm der the gnarled and
twisted branches of the old tree at Thu
pauga.
Here, amidst the scenes and people she
loved and within sound Of the waters that
will ever be associated with her husbands
name, she was laid to rest in the early
spring of 1862. Since that time many of
her countrymen have passed up and down
none of them ever stopped to repair her
grave.
