AFRICAN JUSTICE,
Trial by Ordeal One of Its Most Peculiar
Outgrowths.

OF all central African customs trial
by ordeal, which is universal, is that
which is most revolving to a European
brought for the first time into contact
with savage life, writes James Mac
Donald in the Popular Science Monthly.
When man is accused of. any
crime, as theft, arson, murder, witch
craft, or the like, evidence is brought
against him in the way common
throughout the whole continent. This
however, is never final. The accuser's
witnesses swear to anything required
of them without the slightest COM
Function of conscience, and as the
prosecutor must produce his evidence
first the defendants witnesses are
ready to swear, and do swear, the OPP
posite of all that has been said.
Trial is invariably in open court. .and
nothing said by the witnesses for the
prosecution can be concealed from
those that are to follow. There are no
aflidaEits, thus making contradiction
at once simple and safe. If rebutting
evidence were allowed, the most pal
try trial would be interminable. For
a witness to be called liar is, in such
case, a compliment. 1t proves that
his evidence told, and that he, by in
ference. is a very clever fellow. If
the same man were accused OF bewitch-
ing he would regard it as a foul libel
and demand the poison bowl without
an hours delay.
To remedy the defects of trial in
court, that by ordeal is adopted in all
kinds of causes, both civil and Grim
inal. AS tue case proceeds before the
council, the accused at intervals de-
mands the niacai, and this demand his
friends, if they believe him innocent,
Ecrsistcntly press. The accuser re-
slsts the demand as unnecessary, know
ing that. should the culprit, even if
caught red-handed. recover. he will
be placed in q difficult position. He
will in that case have no claim to COM
pensation for an injury. and may in
turn he successfully sued for willfully
seeking TO destroy another mans rep
utation. The belief in the absolute
certainty OF trial by mwai is univer-
sal. and ,he beginning and end of rea-
sonin9 is thus: "If he is guilty he
dies; if he does not die, should the
stolen property be found on his per-
son, he Is not guilty; another put it
there, or he was bewiiched."

1t does not Seem as though a crab
could possibly crack a nut or would
even wish to. But there are kinds of
crabs which find the meat and milk
OF fresh cocoanuts very much to their
taste, and they are as handy as squir-
rels at cracking them. There are two
kinds of these nut eating crabs.
The crabs front pair Of legs are
armed with strong and heavy pincers.
His last pair are provided with
much smaller and more delicate ones.
With the first pair of pincers the
crab tears away from the eye hole end
of the nut the husk which protects the
three 'eyes"--the three places where
the shell is thinnest. Having torn of
the husk, he begins to hammer with
all the might of one of his wicked
looking claws upon one of the holes.
As soon as he succeeds in cracking
one open, he turns hiself around and
delicately inserts in the hole OF his
pairs of small pincers, and so brings
out the delicious food of which he is
SO fond.

A GOOD STORY OF NC CULLOUGH.

e. d. Price says that the late
John Mccullough always entertained
the friendliest feeling for "supers"
who appeared in his support He
never forgot that he had been one
himself, and took much pride in re-
hearsing them. However, on one oc-
casion they spoiled one of his best
scenes. He had been travelling all
day and reached the town where they
were to play that evening rather late
in the afternoon. Mccullough, feel
ing very tired, sent his stage manager
to train the super who had beeu en-
gagged for the performance, and give
them the proper cues for their en-
frances and exits.
The play was The Gladiator, and
everything went smoothly until the
great scene in the arena. Mccullough
was in good form, and had never act
ed better He had raised the audience
to the height Of enthusiasm. and his
magnificent voice had just uttered the
words: ''Romans, will ye be slayes?"
when the ''supers" forgot their cue
Instead of answering in a negative
manner, they shouted with an april
ing unanimity:
"We Will, we willr"
Mccullough stopped for moment,
and, glaring at them, muttered:
d you, you won't"
The noble Romans looked at each
other III dismay, but one or two of
them, plucldng courage, piped in a
shrill voice:
We won't, won't
The tragedian's choice expressions
We're drowned in the laughter that
followed.
