So When Great Man Dies, the Little Ones, With Slaves, Are Killed and Buried With Him. Some strange superstitlons of West African n(groes are described by 1'. L,. Tenigely in the l.ondon i.aily Mall. If he will, the juju man (witch doe tor) of West Africa at tell you that whenl a inani dies ils spirit, or spirits, will remain behind and wlaider about the earth while lie will "go away." It is not clear what is ieant by "he" :is distinct from his spirits, or where "he" goes when he does "go awaN" but Obviously it Is to i plte wvhere, if lie hle it big chief, lie will wilit serv ants to serve him, andi therefore when lie dies slaves are killed, and also young children. But these latter are .illied for another imirpose, as the dollowlig remathrky will show. These wandering spirits are of two kiInds-good,, or. at least harmless, Called ")ilpples," and evil ones, known its "Jumbis." "Dupples," the juju man will tell you, can be seen in various forms. There used to bei a resthouse on a bench in southern "Nigeria whidh fell into disuse l~eenuse, as many white men used to know, cineer' black forms, sometimes like monkeys, used to run about the veranda andl, the rooms at night making weird noises. They did no harm, being, as every native knew, only "dupples." The "Jumbli," however, is a terrible thing-so awful that whoever sees one goes mid. Ills homie Is in the silk-cotton, or cebia tree, and he kills the person who cuts one down. Blacks of educatedi West Indian descent will never cut down a silk-cotton tice. "Jumlibls" eat dead l)odies, preferring those of children, though there is noth Ing they like better than rice. Hence when a man or woman dies a quantity of rice is placed near the grave under a cover resembling a can dIe extinguisher, only with holes in the sides. The object of the holes is to enable the thin, hungry "Jumbil" to en ter the receptacle, where he gorges himself until lie is too fat to get out again. A fresqh supply of rice is daily placed under the dome to make up for what the "Juimbis" have eaten. (There are lots of rats and ground pigs in West Africa.) The process is kept up until the ninth day, when a "wake" is held, and the "Jumbis" are driven away by noise and fee-ack (native magle). That is one way of keeping the "Jum bis" from the dead. But if a great man dies lie has another chance of being undisturbed ; for then young clil dren are killed, al( the "juibli" eats them rather than the old person. Many years ago, when King Take died, the then governor, in the lIope of preventing any secret slaughter, or dered that he should have a grai? funeral, "white man fashion." It was a great day for the natives, several white officials attending the burial in the center of the royal com pound, where, by order, they remained until the grave was filled uip. But despite these precautions, at dead of night the juju priests had1( their innings. Take wvas dug up andi~ re buried in native fashiotn together wIth his slaves and several chIldren. "Why Southpaws." The word "southpaw," used fre quently ini the course of r-eferenices to baseball gamies, is a bit of slang whlich wvhich has crept inito the languaige d1ur ing the last few yearzs--a colloquialism which has behind it rather- more of a logical pedigree than most slang words can claim. That the batter may not have to fate the rays of the setting sun at any time of the year, a basebiali dia miend is usually laid out so that the! batter's box faces due east. The pitcher, therefore, faces westwvard, while his right hamnd is toward the north and his left hiand is toward the south. As the majority of pitchers are right-handed, It was only natural that an exception to tIs rule should be singled out for a certain specific title--and the name "southpaw" was adopted on account of the usual points of the compass inu conniection with the diamond itself. The eccen.. tricities of Rube W~addell and other "soulthpaws" have made the name synonymous with "erratic," so far as baseball language is concerned, though there is no medical support for the theory that left-handed persons are more peculiar than thoso who use their right hands. AerIal Time Tables. So important has become conser cial avIation in France that there is being publIshed a monthly time table of all the air services operating in France and allied eounutries. , timie table, known as L .adicateur Aerion, gives such. information as the. time of departure and arrival, routes, type of plane employed, weighs of lug gage allowed, rates, andi so on.
