UeANDHs ROYAL SUICIDES.
Kings Who Drank Poison When Sick
ness or Ace Threatened,


Some Of the curious customs OF a
pastoral people Of Uganda. known as
the Banyoro. are told by the Rev John
Roscoe. He said that when once a
King was enthroned his person became
sacred. and bis food was restricted to
milk aud beef from a sacred herd Of
cows. which were kept apart from 9TH
er cows
The Banyoro monarch never allowed
himself to grow old or bis faculties to
become impaired. When he thought be
was going TO be seriously III he called a
council. arranged the state affairs with
tho principal chiefs without giving
them any reason for thinking that he
was about 10 die and dismissed them to
carry out his instructions.
Then he returned to his private house
and summoned his chief wife and or
dered her to bring a cup Of poison. He
drank the contents and 10 a few min
utes was dead. The widow thereupon
called one or two Of the principal
chiefs. who prepared the body for buri-
al For as long as possible the death
was kept secret. Each day the milk
and beef were brought to the royal res
idenee, and inquirers were Informed
that the king was suffering from an In
disposition which required him to rest.
In the meantime the chiefs were en-
gagged In making private arrangements
to guard the body and protect the sa-
cred herds Of cattle during the wars
which would follow on the announce
ment OF the death When the news
leaked out the sons Of the dead king
fought among themselves, brother kill
