" Their mode of sending messages is peculiar : — The messen- ger is furnished with as many sticks or reeds as the message contains separate subjects. The sticks are of various lengths, in order to distinguish them from each other. When the messenger arrives at his destination, he delivers the reeds successively, and with each of them repeats the purport of the message of which it is a memorial. The reply is conveyed after the same manner.
Women are treated as inferior beings ; they are prohibit...ed from entering the spirit-houses or eating human flesh. The girls of the lower classes of a tribe, are entirely at the disposal of the chief, who may sell them to transient strangers, or do anything else with them he pleases. Wives, besides taking care of their children, and doing the work about the house, are obliged to assist the men in cultivating the soil ; if they misbehave they are tied to a tree and flogged.
At the age of fourteen, boys undergo the operation of cir- cumcision, which is performed after the manner of the Jews.
