Il. no school, no registrars office. On
ahc maps of the kingdom, although it

taxes from the people, but sends no
tag collector to receive them. The tax
payers journey sixty kilometres every
eight weeks to pay taxes. Once a year
in May all the children born during the
year arc taken to Budduso and there
baptized. The dead are buried in Tic
most primitive manner and without
any trace of religious rites. Marriages
are conducted on the same system
without any formality or ceremony and
arc declared later on to the registrar or
parish priest, sometimes long after they
have be en- blessed with issue. Vaccina-
