This is the greatest i'll luck any community can have, and the woman who brings it upon a village is sometimes banished.
 There are certain kinds of babies who are just the reverse of mascots They are called bad-luck children, and when one is born trouble Is sure to follow. one of these Is a baby born with sore eyes, and another one that gets its upper teeth first. If the teeth sprout out in the upper jaw before they do In the lower jaw that is a sure sign of dry weather, and the child is supposed to bring it. Indeed, this belief Is so strong that such children have been killed on account of the suf- fering which the drought brought by them has entailed.

They have 30 different devils. one of whom presides over war; another over earthquakes and another over the plague. There is sup posed to be devil in every leopard, and 1t was to appease them that when the old kings built their palaces hundreds of men were slaughtered. Sacrifices were made to Kitinda, the man-eating demon, and also to the snake demon and others. The Bagandas had their god of plenty. their gods of the rain and the rainbow, and their demons of thunder and the falling stars.
