was experienced in getting it out. She

fires in Charleston until his final cap

The evidence was convincing and the
boy saw that his only hope of getting

guilty and asking the mercy of the
court. The jury recommended the
plea of mercy and Bowman was saved
from the gallows, which the law pro-
vides, except in recommendations Of

NASAL CREATION MYTHS.
Close Resemblance tc Old Testament
Narrative.


Narrative.
Cant. Merker. a German officer, who
has spent some ten years in German
East Africa. has written a ve-y inter-
esling etinographical monograph on
the Nasal natives. in which he de-
scribes not only the manners and Gus
toms of that race, but also their Ian
guaec and traditions. According to
Capt. Merker. the Nasal have had
handed down to them story of the
first creation of the world and the hui
man race which bears a remarkable
resemblance to that contained in the
Old Testament.
The Nasal relate that:
In the beginning the earth was q
barren, dry desert. in which there
lived a Dragon. Then God came down
from heaven. fought against the ORA
gon and vanquished it. There where
God slew the beast and poured out its
blood there arose Paradise lUXuriant
with the riches; vegetation. tThe ma
tice word fcr this Paradise is
"Kerio.") Then Coo created by His
word sun. moCn. stars, plants ana AMI
mails. ard last Of all He made lne tlrst
human Couple to arise.
Hereupon follows description OK
how God commanded the couple IN
question TO abstain from eating the
fruit of certain tree and how on
His one day paying visit, as was Ills
custom. to Paradise, He found them
guilty trying to hide from Him. Ii
was the Serpent here, TOO, who was
at fault. and the woman who had sue
cumbed TO it's temptation to- eat the
fruit. The Serpent, according TO the
Nasal tradition. had three heads. anc
was punished bv God by being COM
manded to live forever in the holes
of the EARTH"
The two human beings were then
driven out of the Garden OF Paradise
BY the Morning STAR" which was or
dered to stand at the gate to keep it.
Then the human race grew in number,
and genealogies are recorded very
similar to those in the Bible account,
until the first murder was committed,
when a food was caused to appear.
Instead of Noah, good old man
named Tumbalnot was hidden build
wooden chest" and betake himself
into it with his belongings and AMI
mails of every kind. From the ark, too,
as in the Bible story, Tumbainot sent
out a dove, but besides the dove, ne
also despatched a vulture to find out
how the food was looking. At the
conclusion of the food four-fold rain
bow appeared as proof Of the cessation
of Gods ire.
The Jacobs ladder also plays a part
in the Nasal tradition, but it used for
a purpose very different from that IN
the Old Testament, being a means
whereby God climbs down from heaV-
en- to visit the human race on earth.
Mention is also made in the native
tradition of the deception OF the n1st
born. and of the law of circumcision,
the latter being sent through Maruml,
the Moses of the Nasal. Moreover,
the Nasal tell Of the giving out from
mountain too of the Ten Command
ments, among which are special com
mands rot to have more gods than
one, not to kill, and not TO commit
adultery.-London Standard.
