plant, monkey, uig, and the Zambesi
natives have gone so far as to knock
out the upper front teeth out of re-
spect for the COW! In speaking to a
paramount ckief a native addresses
him as Mon Key pig" or whatever
his fetish happens to be.
Each native of Mashonaland car
ries on his person some sort of a charm
which is supposed to protect him from
all harm, and if dire calamity be-
falls him an enemy is thought to pos
sess a more powerful charm. Charms
of horse, cow and zebra hair with
small pieces of wood attached are
worn around the neck and waist of
children. These protectors are made
by the mother and before being placed
on the body of the youngster are
handed to the father to touch in order
to enhance their mystic powers.
If a child dies, the mother shaves its
head, and collecting the hair places it
in a pot which is Immediately turned
upside down on the main path in
front of the hut and subsequently
broken. The body is buried in a re-
Ginning posture, and on the grave is
placed a pot of sodza-a thick por-
ridge-and one of beer. The contents
of the receptacles is soon devoured by
white ants and wild animals although
in their ignorance the fond parents
imagine that the departed child has

an unWritten code of etiquette. For
example, if a child cuts his upper teeth
first his death is a foregone conclu-
sion. So imbued with this idea are the
Nashonas that the infant is neglected
and it soon becomes necessary to pre-
pare a grave.

that the youngster will never be able
to speak correctly.
The constant fear of a Mashona is
that he will be haunted by the spirit
he has not treated with due respect
v lille ON this earth. Consequently,
when he becomes ill he imagines that
he is being haunted by an evil spirit
and Immediately resorts to one of sew
eral methods of Kidding himself OF his
tormentor. Possibly he will seek the
witch doctor. This learned CD individ-
ual will make incisions in the flesh of
the transgreSsor of Mashona etiquette,
over which he will place the horns of
goats. BY sucking out the air through
openings in the ends of the horns and
vacuum is formed and the blood ex-
udes, the horns being emptied from
time to time.
If the evil spirit has not been extract
ed by this process an attempt may be
made to appease the offended spirit by
killing a goat and eating it under a
tree at some distance from the kraal-
village. If recovery takes place fence
of reeds is put around the place where
the satrifice occurred.
A popular means of atoning to de-
ceased persons for past wrongs is to
hold monthly dead relative'' dances
These affairs begin at sunset and last
until sunrise. They are weird and
grotesque performances. To the 'tump-
ity-tumpity'' of tOm-tomS and the tin
kle of diminutive pianos of local design
the men go through with imaginary
fights with wild animals and conflicts
with enemies. while the women be-
decked in the usual array of native
charms and finery stamp their feet to
the wild jargon Of sound.
The Mashona race is divided in a
number of sub-tribes. each tribe hav-
ing a fetish or g 'mtupo." The 'mtupo
of the MatokoS is the lion, and the fol-
lowing tradition was told me which
explains the origin of the fetish:
Many years ago we (the MatokoS)
were at war with the people of SIENNA
(Zambesi) and the people of SIENNA col
lected large army to confront us. Our
SscOutS brought in word that this army
had crossed the Garaza river at a point
near where 1t joins the Ruenya. There
were so many warriors that the earth
shook and we were afraid to go out to
fight them. Later word came that the
enemy had turned back. They had
been attacked by lions and they said
that they could not fight against peo-
pie who have lions to fight for them
so they returned to their villages. That
IS why we took the lion for our mtupo.'
Other tribes have chosen the ele-

When a son returns home after the
death of his father he usually induces
some companions to accompany him
throughout The kraal-village on a
dancing pilgrimage. The file of saw
ages bounds into midair brandishing
sticks and striking with them the
thatch of the huts and the ground, the
tongue, Father of mine, father of

this weird ceremony is the taking pos

could not ascertain whether or not the
| second husband is supposed to enter
into possession of the spirit of the de-
ceased. It is general idea among the
natives that the spirits of departed
persons enter the bodies of animals
and reptiles.
The curious beliefs and superstitions
of the Mashoras are many, but space
will not permit enumerating them.
One peculiar 'dea entertained by the
/ people along the great Zambesi river
is in regard to the origin of day. The
sun is supposed to go to sleep in the
evening at the source of the Zambesi
river far to the westward. During the
course of the night it floats down
stream with the current, and in pass
! ing between two big granite bou1ders
| in the mouth of the river it is sure to
| strike one or the other of these OBJ
structions. This awakens the golden
orb from its slumbers and bounding
| into the heavens the day and its west
ward journey through the skies stimuli
| taneously commence. 1t is believed
that the world will come to an end
| when the sun passes between the
boulders and into the sea. The way
the natives think they prove this
| theory to be true is that in the dry
season when the river is low the sun
| floats down stream slowly and the
nights are long. and in the rainy sea-
son when the river is high the reverse
| is the condition.
The superstitions and primitive Gus
| toms of the Mashona race will before
many generations be a thing of the
past. The English have invaded the
country and the present code of
| aboriginal etiquette is doomed. The
missionary is in the field and as a re-
| suit there is IN the Salisbury district
| the most unique band on earth. One
| hundred and fifty small savages play
| brass instruments in some instances
almost as large as themselves. The
complete transformation of the Ma
| shona will not be accomplished in a
day, or a year. 1t will take time.
