Some curious customs of a pastoral people of Uganda, known as the Banvoro were related at the Royal Institution recently by the Rev. John Roscoe. He said that a king's person was sacred and his food was restricted to milk and beef from a sacred herd of cows, which were kept apart from othe'r cows. The kins did not wash with water, but was rubbed with butter. The Banyoro monarch never allowed himself to grow old nor his faculties to become impaired. He must die in full vigor, with his mental and physical faculties unimpaired. When the king thought he was going to be seriously ill he arranged the State affairs, then summoned his chief wife and ordered her to' bring him a cup of poison. For as long as possible the death was kept secret. When the news of the death leaked out, the sons of the dead king fought among themselves, brother killing brother. The survivor became king.
