................................. ....... The entile Hebrew Bible was print tion or minister, with meat free of
of some man. from the time when her r'^ *n US8. charge during all business hours,
mother first wraps her in a skin sack
till the day when she is folded in a !
reed mat and carried outside the kraal
for burial. First she belongs to her
father, the mother having in no ease
any right to her offspring. At any
age she may be sold to another man
as his wife, and becomes his property
till his death.
But. even that event does not re-
lease. her, for she is then passed on to
the oldest son or nearest male lie!i- as
i part of his Inheritance. Sometimes,
indeed, nn old- man anticipates his
death, and himself makes a present
of his young wife to his oldest son. I
Many a woman has been the wife sue-
cessively, of a father and his son and
has children by both.
The lobola was originally paid in
cattle, but since the rinderpest deci-
mated the flocks it has been payable
in money, and is reckoned al $100 for
an ordinary girl and $125 for a chief’s
daughter. ;
Even unborn daughters are contract- i
■ ui for; for instance, a man wishing
f‘o buy a wife, hut having no means to
nay. makes a bargain with the father
of a girl, promising to give by way of
compensation all the daughters born
-o hint, and, in ease he has no girls,!
he must gire a son.
Little girls are constantly being1
sold to old grandfathers with a plu-
rality of wives. Indeed, it would seem j
as if site!) suitors were preferred by ;
the fathers, probably because they i
have more means to pay, and have
often the additional advantage of be- i
Ing able to pay with one of their own i
daughters.
An American woman who has been
in that country tells of a case where a
girl way sent to an old man with “a
broken iia.-k, while another girl es-
caped lo the missionaries lo avoid be-
ing sold to a leper. If a girl is ^not j
friendly to the match she is persuaded :
by heating, and if that falls she may |
l/r bound and carried off by force.
The Ndatt woman wears -a drape |
about the waist, another bright-lined
calico strip brought over one shoulder
and under the opposite arm, a load of
brass bracelets completely covering
each forearm from wrist to elbow,
anklets, bend and horsehair necklaces
ind a lrrass. cylindrical snuff box
thrust through the earlobe. Her hair
is densely matted with red clay and
twisted into cords.
A new ornament which has appear-
ed teccntly on the throats of all the |
women is a brass triangle bound about |
•he neck with a wire. This is no
'herished gewgaw, hut a much resent-1
1 tag. which each woman Is required !
to wear like a dog collar to show that j
her pound tax has been paid. The I
Ndatt baby is simply attired in a j
string of heads about the waist and
a pair of diminutive anklets.—South
