AFRICAN MAN
NEVER EATS
WITH WIFE
OF all the countries in the
world, there is none where
~ the customs are stranger

OF all the countries in the
world, there is none where
" the customs are stranger
than in Barotseland, in Northern
Rhodesia, Africa.
Unlike many wild nations, Bar
otesland boasts of a well-organ-
lied government. 1t even has a
parliament and chiefs privy coun-
Gil. The former is known as the
"Kotia," and sits every day, and
the latter is called the "Sikalu."
In Barotesland there are rigid
laws regarding the birth of chill
dren. Should woman bear
triplets, two of them must be
killed. They are considered bad
luck
The women do not remain at
home housekeeping or tending to
crops. In Barotseland the women
are the hunters and fishers.
It is no unusual sight to see
one of these Amazons wading in
a stream with a large basket in
front of her. She is engaged in
procuring the fish for the fam
lily supper.
But when she goes home with
her catch and her husband cooks
the 1lSn, the matrOn OF barOteS-
land sits down in solitary state
and eats her supper without the
companionship of her husband.
The reason for this Is amusing
in its naivette. For 1t is ex-
planned in this way:
Naturally, a man Is stronger
than a woman, and in order to
prevent any signs Of greediness,
L.
Because, owing to his superior
strength, he might be tempted to
grab the largest and choicest
pieces Of the food before she had
her share.
This possibility is removed by
their dining separately. and there
fore removing all temptation.
