Miss Scissor, a Scotch missionary, who
has been twenty-four years in Africa,
has herself saved the lives Of over fifty
twins, says the Missionary Review. When
twins are born they are at once taken
from the mother, and. II no one inter-
cedes, they are taken by the feet ana
head and have their backs broken across
a native woman's knee, in the same man
ner as one would break a stick The
bodies are then placed in an earthenware
receptacle and taken to the bush, where
they are devoured by the files, insects
and animals.
Sometimes the little victims are put into
these eceptacles alive, and are then eaten
alive In the same way. The mother be-
comes an outcast If she does not az
once take her own life, she has to flee
10 the bush. If she ventures near the
town or village she must see that she
does not remain on the path when any
other native is coming. Her presence. ac-
cording to their superstition would defiIe
the place for others She must not drink
from the same spring. must not touch
anything even belonging to her own rela-
tons.
