QUEER WAYS OF uPoros.
Can't Look at Their Mothers-in-Law,
and Women Eat Special Fish.

The Upotos live on the northern
bank Of the Congo between Ikonmanso
and Dobbo. or between the twentieth
and twenty-second degrees OF east.
longitude. and seem to have long 70
sided In the region. They show q
marked disinclination to quit Il. They
live chiefly by fishing. and one OF the
first things to strike visitor is that
certain fish are reserved for the men.
others for the women and yet third
kind for the slaves. These slaves are
chiefly slaves by birth or men sold
for their debts. They are well treated.
and opposite Iringui Is an island In
which all slaves who are incapable OF
working are allowed 10 reside By
themselves. One form OF semi-seryi.
tude is called lisokko. This Is when
q man. not having money to buy
wife. sells himself 10 a chief TO OBJ
tain one. The offspring OF such q
marriage becomes the property OF the
chief.
One very curious custom Is that q
man may never look at his mother-ln-
law. II he does. he has to pay her
fine OF 20 to so mitakkos, which are
brass rods equal to half penyy.
Neither must the mo,her-in-law look
at her daughters husband. Children
are treated with great kindness. and

chastise them. even IL the children

women is that OF shaving their hus.

singing. dancing and wrestling matches
between villages. The victors arc
painted red; sa also are corpses be-
fore burial. but In the case OF women
Il Is not the bodies. but the coverings
in which they are wrapped. that are 20
colored.
The Upotos believe In vfe after
death and In spirits. They think their
dead relatives and friends are always
watching them. although they cannot
be seen. Their God Is named Libanxa.
Their account Of the origin OF the
white and black races Is curious. Lib
anza sent his son Tserenga on earth
TO see what the races OF mankind wero
doing. Among Europeans he was we'll
received. 50 he gave them a white
skin and much knowledge, but among
the Africans he was badly received.
so he left them black and stupid. One
Of the myths entertained by this peo-
pie Is that the Congo and Its many
tributaries were created by the tears
OF the tribes weeping for q favorits

to be an immense ship engaged In

Probably there is nothing that
adds more to the pleasure of COM
munity and dignity of a town than
the possession of well-traincd must
cal organizations, which are ready to
respond at any time for placing the
finishing touches upon entertain
ment of all sorts, public or private.
Without this aid, the best of effort
is often times futile, and can never
be considered complete without the
harmonizing strains which soothe
and unity human nature and inspire
that feeling of sOciability that makes
the world akin. Music is an uni
verSal language of mankind in soul
communion, and the poet says the
language spoken by angels is writ in
the climate of heaven"
God is its author, not man; lie laid
The keynote of all harmonies; He
planned
All perfect combinations; and He

has, for that purpose, enlisted the

young men, who have pledged them
