Curious African Custom.

Among the human sacrifices of
the delta of the Niger, says
Count de Cardi, young girls oc-
cupy the most honored place.
They are at regulur periods Of
fered up to the gods and instead
of shrinking from this horrible
doom they accept it with pride
and gratitude. Nothing is re-
fused to these girls while they
are alive. If one of them sees a
handsome dress or ornament on
d woman and expresses desire
10 have it. the woman must give
1T to her. Men are also sacri-
feed, though not for religious
reasons, and they welcome death
as eagerly as the girls. Count
de Cardi once tried to save one
of these victims, but instead of
thanking him. the man reviled
him so bitterly for interfering
and scolded the by-standers so
heartily for delaying to carry out
the sentence that they promptly
stopped his mouth by killing
him.
The worst insult which one
woman can offer to another is to |
hold out the right hand in front
of her with the index and middle
finger forming the letter V.
This means, "You will become
the mother of twins When
the twins are born in this region,
they and their mothers are
killed, as a rule, and when
dies in giving birth TO a
child the latter is also killed and
buried with her. 1t is not super
'tition which impels the negroes

which Count de Cardi has gath

many years in this portion of
Africa Is of rare value. especial

average reader that it provoke'
a CACOETHES SCRIBEND1 which

THEY? We have been inclined
to suspect they were the SOLID
men on our Board but to our sur
prise it seems they are not even

SUNSTROKE
TWO CASES IN WICHITA YES
TERDAY.
Highest Temperature for Every Day
in August.

There were two cases of sunstroke in
Wichita yesterday. The most serious
was Clyde Strunk, who works for Has
kell & Boswell at their poultry house, H.
South Emporia. He was overcome about
the middle of the afternoon, was taken
to his room and a physician called. He
was much better at o'clock in the even
ing, and no serious results are probable
The other was George Frye, who lives
ten miles in the country. While wash
ing a buggy wheel in the street on West
Douglas he was overcome and fell on the
pavement in faint. A physician was
called and Mr. Frye revived in few
minutes. It will probably be several
days before either one of the men is able
TO be at work, but their physicians think
they will not suffer any continued i'll
effects.
Everybody in Wichita said at least
eighty-four times that IL was awfully hot
yesterday and distressingly hot Sunday.
1t was hotter by one degree yesterday
than it was Sunday. George McNeal
went to Haysville Sunday and came back
with the report that the weather there
was very cool. John Davis says it was
actually cold over at Robinson's Ford in
Butler county, but outside of these two
instances everybody thought it was hot
day. John Clayton offered S25 to anybody
who could walk the distance of one block
without meeting nine people who would
glare and ask. 'Is it hot enough for
you?" Nobody could win the money. al
though Billy Pierce tried it eight times.
The highest temperature for every day
of the month as kept by John Swain at
the Kansas News Stand is as follows:
